A mower (10) is described. The mower (10) comprises onecentral and laterally arranged mowing devices (12, 14, 16),wherein the mowing devices (12, 14, 16) each comprise a mowerstructure (18, 20, 22) having mowing knives (48) that aredrivable in rotation underneath the mower structure (18, 20,22) about a vertical rotation axis (54), the ends (56) of saidmowing knives (48) describing a circular path, and wherein aguiding element (60) is arranged on at least one laterallyarranged mowing device (14, 16) underneath the mower structure(20, 22), said guiding element (60) at least partiallysurrounding the circular path and extending downwardly from themower structure (20, 22) such that cut material cut by a mowingknife (48) is retained or guided away by the guiding element(60). In order to make the distribution of the mown materialmore regular during mowing or to avoid accumulations of mownmaterial, it is proposed that the guiding element (60) isarranged in a circular path section that is located at thefront in the mowing direction (MR) and at least one recess (70)is formed in the guiding element (60), said recess (70)comprising a first section (72) which is located between thecentral mowing device (12) and a plane that extends in themowing direction (MR) and in the direction of the rotationaxis, and comprising a second section (74) which is locatedbetween the same plane and one side of the mower (10).
