BANK CUTTER

A variant of several sidewheel machines (particularly Ransomes "Lion", "Ace", "Cub" and "Leo") equipped with an extra long handle, usually of some 70 inches or so, coupling to an additional set of studs on the chassis of the mower. This enabled the user to cut grass on steep banks and slopes. Such mowers were offered from the late-19th century onwards.
