A '''mower''' is a device for cutting crops or plants that grow on the ground. A smaller mower used for lawns and sports grounds ([[playing field]]s) is called a [[lawn mower]]. It is often self-powered and may also be small enough to have to be pushed by the groundsman. Grounds mowers have rotary or reel cutters. Larger mowers are used to cut hay or other crops and place the cut material into rows, which are referred to as [[windrow]]s. Often, such mowers are called '''windrowers''' or [[mower-conditioner]]s. [[Swather]]s are also used to cut hay.
