Abstract
A gang mower assembly for the pulling of push-type reel mowers includes a leading mower mount connectable to a pulling vehicle for movement both laterally and perpendicularly with respect to the pulling direction and two trailing mower mounts each connectable to the leading mower mount for both lateral and perpendicular movement with respect to the pulling direction. Each mower mount is connectable to a push-type reel mower between the reel axis and the ground roller axis and below the wheel axis thereof for exerting a downwardly slanted force in the pulling direction in response to the application of the pulling force.
