The mower is designed to cut grass for hay. Most horse-drawn mowers are classed, either as a plain lift or a vertical
lift.
All mower wheels are made of cast iron. The average height is 32 inches. The width of tire will vary from 3 to 4 inches.
Upon the face of the wheel are lugs to aid traction with the ground for transmitting power to the cutting mechanism and prevent slipping
sideways
When the wheel is turned forward, the pawls engage the ratchet teeth and cause
the axle to turn as a unit with the wheel starts the knife.
