Patent attributes
A mower includes a mower base unit and a cutting reel assembly having a plurality of cutting blades rotatable about an axis extending substantially parallel to the ground. The mower also includes at least one leading link pivotally interconnecting the cutting reel assembly and the mower base unit such that the cutting reel moves independently relative to the mower base unit as the cutting reel assembly traverses undulating terrain. Furthermore, the mower includes at least one tracking rod interconnecting the mower base unit and the cutting reel assembly. The tracking rod is configured to cause the cutting reel assembly to track in a substantially straight line along a mowing direction while reducing lateral movement of the cutting reel assembly relative to the mower base unit.
