History of lawnmower

It’s been around since 1805, when lawnmowers were manual, not powered.
In 1805, the Englishman Placknett invented the first machine for harvesting grains and cutting weeds. The machine was driven by a person, and the rotary knife was driven by a gear drive to cut the grass. This is the prototype of the lawn mower.
In 1830, British textile engineer Bill Pudding patented the drum lawnmower, to accolades.
In 1832, the Ransoms Agricultural Machinery Company began mass production of drum mowers.
In 1831, the British textile master Kabylia obtained the world’s exclusive patent for the tumbler.
In 1833, the Ransoms Agricultural Machinery Company began mass production of drum mowers. In the 19th century, this lightweight and manoeuvrable drum mower was widely used in green belts beside traffic roads.
In 1902, the British London Enns made a drum mower powered by an internal combustion engine, the principle of which is still used today.
This is the weeder we usually see on American country TV, and it’s very easy to trim the lawn with it.
With the rapid rise of the lawn industry, China began to use accumulating reciprocating lawn mowers in the 21st century. At the end of the 19th century, protecting a lawn was exhausting. For example, in the large estate of Blenheim (a village in western Bavaria, Germany), if 200 workers are employed, 50 of them are lawn maintenance. In the season when the grassland grows wildly, the grass needs to be mowed about every ten days. Mowers hold very long tools (scythes: the blades are serrated and require frequent sharpening with a whetstone to keep them sharp) in a row to cut the grass (actually work more like using a saw to cut the grass) ). After the work is completed, the lawn is full of sawn grass blades, and then the grass blades on the ground are picked up and used to feed the cattle and sheep on the farm, which saves time and reduces damage to the grassland. It consists of a parallel four-bar lifting device, a frame, a left and right single-wing weeding device, and a deflection adjustment device for the whole machine.
