Mott worked as an engineer for IH when he developed the flail mower but IH wasn't interested so he went off on his own. He tested the self cleaning properties of the "Hammer Knifes" in pig manure.

My dad set a world wide sales record when the Interstators came out in the 70's and was very good friends with Mr. Mott.
