Provides specifications and acceptance criteria for thrown-object testing of rotary mowers used in agriculture.

This part of ISO17101 gives specifications and acceptance criteria for thrown-object testing of rotary mowers used in agriculture. Examples of machines are shown in AnnexA.

It is not applicable to the following:

• flail mowers;

• mowers with an articulated arm;

• mowers with one or more vertical axis designed for mulching;

• pedestrian-controlled motor mowers;

• lawn mowers or machines designed as lawn mowers;

• inter-row mowing units;

• machines designed for highway and road maintenance only.

NOTE1 If a machine is also designed for use outside agriculture, in addition to the thrown-object test given in this part of ISO17101, other thrown-object tests might apply.

NOTE2 Thrown-object tests and acceptance criteria for flail mowers are dealt with in ISO17101-2.

NOTE3 Thrown-object tests and acceptance criteria for rotary mowers which have a tip circle greater than 1000mm are dealt with in ISO4254-13.
