mowers

Lawn care machines

Mowers is the plural of mower—a machine or person that cuts grass or grain.

A lawn mower trims residential grass; a riding mower lets you sit while cutting larger areas.

The word also applies to agricultural equipment: The mowers worked through the hay field before the rain came.
