Historical Background
The first practical concept of a rotary type mower
goes back to the 1930's. The concept evolved from
the need for a grass maintenance tool that could cut
long grass acceptably without the cost and
sophistication of a reel mower.
During the 1940's improvements in engines and
material brought about increased use of rotaries but
it wasn't until after World War II that their use
became a common sight.
During the 1960's the bagging concept evolved and
rotary designs incorporated multi- blade
configurations useful for cutting large commercial
type areas.
