Abstract
A mower comprising a cutting mechanism which, during work, extends transversely to a direction of work, a hitching structure connected to a motor vehicle, a carrying beam connected, on one hand, to the cutting mechanism by a first articulation and, on another hand, to the hitching structure by a second articulation and of a third articulation, which allows the second articulation to pivot with respect to the hitching structure, a device, for moving the carrying beam and the cutting mechanism between at least one transport position and one other position, and vice versa, and a lifting member for moving the carrying beam and the cutting mechanism between a work position and a maneuvering position, wherein the lifting member is associated with a damping member for absorbing abrupt movements of the carrying beam with respect to the hitching structure when the carrying beam is in the maneuvering position or respectively in the transport position.
