How to Hook Up a Mower to a Tractor

Most tractors use the three-point hitch for connecting different implements, such as mowers. Mower implements come in handy when you have many different tasks to carry out with the same tractor. The implements can be connected for use and then disconnected to connect another implement for the next task. These mowing implements are called flail implements. They work by having many small knife-like pieces of metal that fall on the grass at high speeds, breaking it.
