Lawn mowers and methods associated therewith. A lawn mower can include a frame; and mounting hardware configured to couple the frame to a detachable mower deck, wherein the mounting hardware comprises: a quick release engagement interface; and a latched interface, the latched interface comprising a self-closing latch and an engageable interface to permit selective opening of the self-closing latch.

A sugarcane harvester comprises a frame, a basecutter coupled to the frame for translation relative to the frame, a knockdown roller mounted for translation relative to the frame, and a synchronizer configured to translate the knockdown roller in unison with the basecutter so as to maintain a position of the knockdown roller relative to the basecutter upon translation of the basecutter relative to the frame.

A mower deck leveling linkage includes an eccentric leveling plate connecting between upper and lower linkages. The eccentric leveling plate pivots on an off-center axis to change the length of the linkage and level the mower deck.

An attachment system for an agricultural vehicle including a feeder housing and a header. The attachment system includes at least one feeder connecting member configured for being located on and movably connected to the feeder housing, and at least one header connecting member configured for being located on the header. The at least one feeder connecting member is automatically connectable and securable to the at least one header connecting member as the feeder housing lifts the header.

A drive over mower deck automatic locking mechanism includes a lift frame engaging a drive over mower deck, and a pair of locking plates pivotably connected to the lift frame. The locking plates lock the drive over mower deck to the lift frame when the lift frame raises the drive over mower deck to a mowing or transport position, and unlock the drive over mower deck from the lift frame when the lift frame lowers the drive over mower deck to an installation position.

A lawn mower front wheel positioning system that provides adjustment of lateral positioning of a front wheel of the mower. The front wheel positioning system includes a wheel support arm, a wheel support member, and a wheel positioning arm having an adjustable length. The wheel positioning arm having a proximal end that couples to the wheel support member and a distal end that couples to the wheel support arm. A first end of the wheel support arm couples to the front wheel. A second end of the support arm couples to the support member by way of a support arm wheel pivot that defines a wheel pivot axis. The wheel support arm and the front wheel rotate about the wheel pivot axis responsive to adjustment of the length of the wheel positioning arm.
