Usually mowing is distinguished from reaping, which uses similar implements, but is the traditional term for harvesting grain crops, e.g. with reapers and combines.

Grounds mowers have reel or rotary cutters. Larger mowers or mower-conditioners are mainly used to cut grass for hay or silage and often place the cut material into rows, which are referred to as windrows. Swathers are also used to cut grass. Prior to the invention and adoption of mechanized mowers,, grass and grain crops were cut by hand using scythes or sickles.
