Abstract
A combined mowing machine includes a main chassis designed to be coupled to a tractor, and a plurality of cutting units connected in such a way that they can oscillate on the chassis. Each set of cutting units has a plate support beam mounted between a pair of end plates fixed to the chassis, and a pin integral with the beam. The pin slides in two slots cut into the end plates to allow the movements of the cutting unit. The mowing machine allows the cutting units to oscillate freely in order to follow the lie of the land, as a result of the double-joint oscillation and the forward/back oscillation in the slots.
