An autonomous mower including a housing; a mowing module, a traveling module, an information collection device, an energy module, a control module and the control module includes an identification unit, and an alarm module. The autonomous mower has a security patrol working mode in which the identification unit analyzes and judges whether an abnormal object exists in the working area according to the information collected by the information collection device; if the abnormal object exists, the control module controls the alarm module to send an alarm signal to the outside. Therefore, the autonomous mower can achieve a security patrol function in addition to having a function of trimming the lawn. The autonomous mower has multiple uses, so as to save the cost.

A transfer assembly for attachment to a front portion of an agricultural vehicle, i.e. forage harvester, and a method of use are disclosed. The transfer assembly includes a frame, a pump and an air compressor, along with appropriate drive mechanisms. The agricultural vehicle has an engine and drive mechanisms including a first driven pulley. The pump is connected to the first driven pulley through second and third driven pulleys. The pump is secured to the frame and has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A transfer pipe routes the fluid or manure away from the pump and has a coupling connected to its second end. The coupling enables a flexible hose to be attached to it so that the fluid or manure can be directed to another location, such as onto a field. The transfer assembly also includes a control mechanism for operating the pump, air compressor, etc.

A mulch kit control lever includes a handle pivotably mounted to a support plate with a tension spring connecting the handle to the support plate and urging the handle to pivot to either a mulching position or a side discharge position relative to the support plate. The tension spring is connected before the mulch kit control lever is installed on the mower deck. A retainer slides in a slot in one of the support plate and the handle preventing over-travel of the handle past the mulching position and the side discharge position.

A handheld lawn maintenance tool having a power head to which an adapter is attachable to allow both battery-powered and gasoline-powered working attachments to be attached thereto. The power head includes a power source, integrated first and second handles, a power generator, and a first attachment mechanism to which the adapter and/or working attachments are attachable.

A latching assembly (100′, 100″) for operably coupling a cutting deck (50) to an equipment frame (60) of a riding lawn care vehicle (10) may include a pivot arm (300, 400), and a latch member (310, 410). The pivot arm (300, 400) and the latch member (310, 410) may each be pivotally coupled to each other. The pivot arm (300, 400) and the latch member (310, 410) may also cooperate with each other to affix the cutting deck (50) to the equipment frame (60) in each of a service position and a working position.

The present disclosure is directed to a mulch plug configured to attach to a lawnmower by one or more attachment points, including a snap-fit attachment point. The snap-fit provides a more secure attachment to the lawnmower than attachment mechanisms on existing mulch plugs, in turn providing more even distribution of mulch and less clogging and locking of mower wheels.

A coupler includes a collar defining a member receiving passage. First and second lobes extend outwardly from the collar. The first lobe includes a lobe ramp surface, a cylindrical projection extending from the first lobe and radially surrounding the lobe ramp surface, and a gear extending from the cylindrical portion. A passage is defined in the first and second lobes and has a first axis. A lever arm is rotatable about the first axis. The lever arm includes a lever ramp surface. A pawl arm is movably connected to the lever arm. The pawl arm includes a portion biased into engagement with the gear teeth. A fastener extends through the passage and couples the lever arm to the first lobe so the lever ramp surface cams with the lobe ramp surface. Rotation of the lever arm in a first direction brings the first and second lobes toward each other.

The invention relates to a regional lawn maintenance management system and method, and relates to the technical field of lawn maintenance management, mainly including lawn maintenance terminal equipment, evaluation equipment, intelligent computing equipment, community terminal equipment, data visualization equipment, connected through a communication network, the management equipment, database and commercial operation equipment can fully evaluate the users condition before the user conducts regional lawn maintenance management. The intelligent computing equipment and evaluation equipment generate suitable data based on the evaluation data information and/or historical evaluation data information before, and after the maintenance of the lawn based on the users maintenance plan information and feedback from the lawn maintenance terminal equipment, the maintenance plan information is continuously optimized in subsequent maintenance or data processing to generate a set of targeted maintenance plans, and the comparison is obtained at the regional level. The macro regional turfgrass data provides the function of regional turfgrass maintenance and decision-making, so that turfgrass management can be regionalized, refined, intensive and intelligent.
