The Buckeye Mower as it appears in the Field. 



" Its peculiar construction commands universal approval ; the 

 frame being supported on the two driving w^heels, and the cutter 

 bar attached to the frame by a double hinge joint, the cutters con- 

 form to the surface of the land independent of any working of the 

 frame, either end of the bar being free to rise or fall without affect- 

 ing the other. 



The cutters are easily raised to pass obstructions hy means of a 



lever at the right of the driver, and -^len so raised there is nothing 



outside of the driving wheel to obstruct the passage of the machine. 



When not in use, the cutters can he folded over on the front of the 



frame in such a manner that the machine can he driven any distance
