Skid-steer type power unit engageable with an implement using an attachment assembly including an attachment frame and a hitch. An arcuate frame member is located forwardly of the attachment frame and is engaged therewith in such a way that the frame member pivots about a vertical axis located forwardly of the frame member and generally centrally positioned relative to the attachment frame. The frame member pivots in response to actuation of a hydraulic cylinder. The power unit includes a system for transferring weight of the implement rearwardly onto the power unit. A belt-drive power-take off system on the power unit powers the implement's operation. An underbelly drop spreader is located between the front and rear wheels of the power unit and a brine delivery system distributes brine from nozzles located rearwardly of the rear wheels. A unique control panel permits operation of all systems on the power unit and implement.

A snow thrower includes a motor, an auger driven by the motor to rotate, a handle device for a user to operate, an auger housing for containing the auger and a frame for connecting the handle device and the auger housing. The auger housing is made of at least two different materials.

A replacement mobility assembly for a walk-behind, powered device (10) may include first and second drivable components, a mobility assembly frame, and an adaptation assembly. The powered device may be provided with an original mobility assembly (40) that is to be removed from coupling with a drive assembly and a chassis (15) of the powered device prior to installation of the replacement mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components may each be of a different type than corresponding drivable components of the original mobility assembly. The first and second drivable components may be operably coupled to the mobility assembly frame. The adaptation assembly may be configured to enable the mobility assembly frame to be operably coupled to the chassis and the first and second drivable components to be operably coupled to the drive assembly.

The disclosure relates to an auger assembly and a snow thrower including a supporting shaft; a snow throwing paddle, a left and right snow scraper assembly. The snow throwing paddle in a middle of the supporting shaft rotates synchronously with the supporting shaft. The left and right snow scraper assemblies are symmetrical to each other with respect to a particular plane that is perpendicular to an axis of the supporting shaft. The left snow scraper assembly includes a snow scraper helically spiraled around the supporting shaft along an axial direction of the supporting shaft. The snow scraper is spliced by at least two-section split helical blades each helical blade provided with a connecting part at an end away from the snow throwing paddle. The connecting part is connected with the supporting shaft. One of the helical blades closest to the snow throwing paddle is connected with the snow throwing paddle.

An electric snowthrower including: an auger and an impeller driven by one or more electric motors; one or more sensors; and an electronic controller coupled to each of the motor(s) and the sensor(s). The electronic controller is configured to monitor data provided by the sensor(s) and, in response to the sensor data, automatically adjust operation of the motor(s) or other feature of the snowthrower. Controls for operating such a snowthrower are also included.

A snow thrower includes a motor, an auger driven by the motor to rotate, a handle device for a user to operate, an auger housing for containing the auger and a frame for connecting the handle device and the auger housing. The auger housing is made of at least two different materials.

A chute rotation control system for a snow thrower is disclosed. One example embodiment is a chute rotation control system configured to rotate a chute of a snow thrower, comprising: a chute rotation motor coupled to the chute via one or more gears, wherein the chute rotation motor is configured to alternately rotate the chute clockwise and counterclockwise; a left chute control configured to receive one or more left user inputs and to generate a left output signal; a right chute control configured to receive one or more right user inputs and to generate a right output signal; and a motor controller configured to receive the left input signal and the right input signal, to cause the chute rotation motor to rotate the chute counterclockwise in response to the left input, and to cause the chute rotation motor to rotate the chute clockwise in response to the right input signal.

A utility implement may include a frame, traction members supported by the frame, a propulsion unit supported by the frame and operably coupled to the traction members, a handle bar coupled to the frame, a control handle extending from the handlebar and located to be gripped by an operator while the operator is maneuvering the utility implement and as the utility implement is being driven by the traction members and a control transmission associating the control handle to the propulsion unit such that manipulation of the control handle adjusts operation of the propulsion unit to adjust propulsion of the utility implement by the traction members.

A snow removal equipment is described. The snow removal equipment comprises a propulsion means allowing the snow removal equipment to move on a terrain, a gathering unit adapted for gathering or shoveling snow on the terrain, and a disposal unit to remove the gathered snow. The snow removal equipment has been adapted to allow the speed at which the snow on the terrain is gathered, and the speed at which the gathered snow is removed, to be controlled separately.

A utility vehicle to remove a matter from a surface is described. The utility vehicle includes an articulated collector attached to a front section of the utility vehicle. The articulated collector is movable. The articulated collector is also configured to remove the matter from the surface. A matter container is also connected to the utility vehicle. The articulated container is also connected to the matter container. The matter container is configured to receive and hold the matter. Furthermore, an articulated depositor is connected to the matter container. The articulated depositor is configured to deposit the matter to a disposal site.
