A snow thrower is disclosed including a rotor assembly having a first auger, a second auger, and a paddle disposed between the first and second augers The snow thrower also includes an intake housing having a first interior surface adjacent to the first auger and a second interior surface adjacent to the second auger, where an outer edge of the first auger has a clearance of less than 1 centimeter from the first interior surface across a sweep of at least 120 degrees, and an outer edge of the second auger has a clearance of less than 1 centimeter from the second interior surface across a sweep of at least 120 degrees.

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.

The disclosure provides a power head and an outdoor power equipment using the same. The power head includes a housing assembly, a motor assembly and a battery pack assembly. The housing assembly includes a first housing and a second housing. The first housing and the second housing defines a housing space. The motor assembly is arranged in the housing space. The motor assembly includes a motor. One end of an output shaft of the motor extends to outside of the housing assembly. The battery pack assembly is arranged inside the housing space. The battery pack assembly supplies power for the motor assembly.

Power tools, snow throwers, and heated grips for snow throwers are provided. An exemplary heated grip for a power tool having a handle configured to be engaged by an operator includes a first heating element configured to be disposed at least partially on a first side of the handle; and a second heating element configured to be disposed at least partially on a second side of the handle, wherein the first heating element is moveable relative to the second heating element.

A snow plough includes a driving source, an auger housing, a rotating shaft to be driven and rotated by the driving source within the auger housing, and an auger arranged within the auger housing and to be driven and rotated via the rotating shaft. The auger includes a snow-collecting blade located at least on one side in a width direction of the auger, the snow-collecting blade collecting snow toward a center of the auger in the width direction, and a snow-throwing blade located at the center of the auger in the width direction, the snow-throwing unit casting snow collected by the snow-collecting blade by a centrifugal force and discharging snow to an outside via a chute. The snow-throwing blade includes an outer circumferential snow-throwing plate rotating along an outer circumferential region positioned outside an inner circumferential region, the inner circumferential region being a non-snow-throwing region within the auger housing.

An autonomous path treatment system and associated path treatment method uses a mobile path recording device having a locator, a processor and firmware to capture a sequence of coordinates and directions of travel of a path as the mobile device is moved along the path and generate a path program file. The system also has an autonomous path treatment robot having: a treatment mechanism for treating the path; a controller having a processor and memory storing firmware that when executed obeys steps of the path program file to control the motor and the treatment mechanism to treat the path; and a server configured to execute a path program to process the captured sequence of coordinates and directions into the path program file containing instructions for controlling the autonomous path treatment robot to treat the path based upon the coordinates.

A folding blade for a clearing apparatus with a clearing blade includes a folding bar, a lever mechanism for pivotally mounting the folding bar on a base part of the clearing blade, and a spring element for arrangement between the base part and the lever mechanism, for returning the folding bar to an initial position in which the folding bar forms an extension of a blade plate of the clearing blade. The lever mechanism is designed in such a way that the folding bar is pivotable from the initial position to a retracted position along a first pivoting path by overcoming a spring force of the spring element, and that the folding bar is pivotable from the retracted position to the initial position along a second pivoting path due to the spring force.
