-The first mechanical mower was invented and patented by English engineer Edwin Budding in Gloucestershire, who signed a contract with John Ferrabee on May 18, 1830, to manufacture "machinery for the purpose of shearing or mowing the vegetable covering of lawns." Budding was employed in Mr. Lister's textile factory and is said to have come up with the idea for the mower while watching a plush shearing machine at work.[([[https://www.thoughtco.com/first-lawn-mower-1991636|Thought Co]])]
