GRASS-COLLECTING APPARATUS OF RIDING MOWER

PURPOSE:To provide the subject grass-collecting apparatus capable of turning the machine body counterclockwise during the mowing operation and systematically mowing the grass from the circumference of a grassland by placing a transfer fan in a transfer path supplying mowed grass to a grass-collecting part at the rear part of the machine body and attaching the transfer fan to a driving shaft protruded from a transmission case of the machine. CONSTITUTION:An engine of a farm tractor is started, a hydraulic lifting apparatus is operated to lower a mowing part 9 and a work clutch is coupled. The mowing operation is performed by moving the machine body 1 anticlockwise along the circumference of the lawn of a garden. The grass mowed by the rotation of a blade 18 is discharged from the rear part of a mower deck 10 to the front transfer path 27 by the centrifugal force and air stream generated by the rotation of the blade 18. At the same time, the grass is subjected to the suction force of a transfer fan 34 and smoothly discharged through a rear transfer path 30 to a grass-collection part 29.
