Abstract:
A cutting implement usable with a vehicle, the implement comprising:a) first and second laterally spaced and adjacent cutting chambers, both chambers having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surfaces of both chambers having a front wall; b) a discharge opening adjacent the first chamber for allowing material to exit the first chamber; c) a cutting blade housed within each chamber for cutting vegetation in the path of the implement, each of the blades being rotatable so as to define a generally horizontal cutting plane, each of the rotating blades generating a stream of air to convey the cut vegetation outwardly from its edge when it rotates with the stream being directed against and along the front wall; and d) a baffle joined to the front walls of the first and second chambers and including first said second segments with each of the segments being generally above the cutting plane of the blades therein, at least one of the segments being inclined relative to the other thereof to form a ramp along which the stream of the second chamber flows after it leaves the edge of its respective cutting blade.
