A rotary mower has a cutting blade and, spaced above it, a fan blade mounted to be rotated on the same axis of rotation as the cutting blade. It has at least one nozzle fixed with respect to the fan and cutting blades, and positioned to spray liquid in a direction substantially parallel to the planes of rotation of the cutting and fan blades, and between those planes of rotation. The nozzle is positioned behind a member with a slot in it, the nozzle projecting spray through the slot and being shielded by the member from damage.

1. In a mower and liquid applicator having a housing with a top wall and a depending side wall, and a cutter blade mounted to be rotated on a vertical central axis to define a plane of rotation, the improvement comprising a baffle wall spaced inboard from said housing side wall and extending downwardly from said housing top wall to a place above said cutter blade and inboard of outer ends of arms of said cutter blade; a fan blade mounted to be rotated on an axis coincident with the axis of rotation of said cutter blade to define a plane of rotation above and substantially parallel to the plane of rotation of said cutter blade, said fan blade being spaced inboard of and within the compass of said baffle wall; spray conduit fixed with respect to said housing and said baffle wall and a spray nozzle operatively connected to said conduit and positioned between the planes of rotation of said cutter blade and said fan blade, said fan blade being formed to direct air downwardly toward the cutter blade.
