A riding lawn mower includes a power output assembly including a mowing element, a cutting motor for driving the mowing element to move, and a cutting control module for controlling the cutting motor; a walking assembly including a walking wheel, a walking motor for driving the walking wheel to travel, and a walking control module for controlling the walking motor; and a first operating component configured to set starting modes of the walking motor. The first operating component has a first operating state configured to start the walking motor in a first starting mode, and a second operating state configured to start the walking motor in a second starting mode. In the first starting mode, the walking motor starts at a first starting acceleration. In the second starting mode, the walking motor starts at a second starting acceleration. The second starting acceleration is greater than the first starting acceleration.

The present invention provides a lawn mower comprising a battery system, a walking system and a cutter system. The lawn mower further comprises: a fault detection module, configured to detect if at least one of the battery system, walking system and cutter system has a fault ; a fault determination module, configured to judge the fault level of the detected fault; and a control module, to control the current-limiting or outage of the corresponding battery system, the slowdown or stop of the walking system, as well as the slowdown or stop of the cutter system according to the fault level; compared with the prior art, the invention not only makes the fault detection more intelligent, but also the lawn mower can adjust the working state in real time according to the fault level, thereby improving the working efficiency.

A riding lawn mower includes: a seat; a chassis; a wheel; a motor configured to drive the wheel to rotate; a walking control module configured to drive the motor; a power supply assembly configured to at least supply electric power to the motor and the walking control module; and a cutting assembly mounted to the chassis, the cutting assembly including a cutting member for cutting grass; wherein the riding lawn mower further includes: a pedal assembly including a pedal lever rotatable about a first shaft axis to control a walking speed of the riding lawn mower when operated by the user; wherein the pedal lever has an initial position; when the pedal lever is in the initial position and power supply assembly is supplying electric power to the motor and the walking control module, the walking control module controls the riding lawn mower to park.

An example vehicle comprises: (i) a source of direct current power, (ii) at least one electronically-commutated electric motor configured to drive a wheel of the vehicle, and (iii) a voltage bus connecting the source of direct current power with the electronically-commutated electric motor.

A hybrid mower includes a chassis coupled to a body. The chassis has a plurality of wheels coupled to a steering assembly for navigating directional control. The mower also includes an internal combustion engine disposed on the chassis. The internal combustion engine is coupled to a drive assembly providing rotational operation to at least one of the plurality of wheels. The mower further includes a mower deck housing at least one rotatable blade for cutting undesired undergrowth during operation and an electric blade control system. The electric blade control system has an electronic control unit for enabling the at least one rotatable blade during operation and at least one direct current motor positioned about the mower deck and in communication with the electronic control unit. The at least one direct current motor has a motor shaft coupled to the at least one rotatable blade.

A tractor includes rear wheels, a transmission, brake pedals (a left brake pedal and a right brake pedal), a brake device, a cruise control operating tool, and a cruise control device. The pair of rear wheels is provided on right and left. The transmission shifts the gear for the vehicle speed. The pair of brake pedals is provided on right and left. The brake device individually actuates brakes for the rear wheels on right and left when the brake pedal is operated. The cruise control device fixes the gear of the transmission when the cruise control operating tool is operated, cancels the fixed gear of the transmission when the left brake pedal is operated, and cancels the fixed gear of the transmission when the right brake pedal is operated.

Provided is a mower that makes it possible to predict a consumption rate of its battery, a change in the remaining capacity of the battery, the workable time from the state in which the battery is fully charged, and the time when to replace the battery. In a mower 10 equipped with a mowing motor 70 and travel drive motors 20A, 20B, a target rotation speed of the mowing motor 70 and power consumption that are set and input by a user are accepted, and while the set target rotation speed of the mowing motor 70 is maintained, an actual power usage value that varies according to variation in load to the mowing motor 70 accompanying an increase or a decrease in the amount of grass is found, using a battery current measured by a current sensor 132, and a new target rotation speed of the travel drive motors 20A, 20B is calculated from a difference between the found actual power usage value and a set value of the power consumption, whereby a travel speed is controlled such that the actual power usage value falls within the range of the set value of the power consumption.

A work machine (lawnmower) comprises: a main body unit having a work unit that performs a prescribed operation; and a travel motor that generates a rotational drive force that causes at least the main body unit to travel. The work machine also comprises: a travel operation unit that issues command information relating to the rotation speed of the travel motor; and a control unit that varies the rotation speed of the travel motor commanded by the travel operation unit on the basis of variation in the load on the work unit.

A method for generating a localized data map, the method including (a) traversing an area with a machine, the machine including at least one sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to receive data; (b) collecting data of the area utilizing the sensor; and (c) communicating the data to generate a localized data map. A system and method for generating a localized turf grass data map, the method including (a) traversing an area of turf grass with an outdoor power equipment machine, the outdoor power equipment machine including at least one sensor, wherein the sensor is configured to receive data; (b) collecting turf grass data utilizing the sensor; and (c) communicating the turf grass data to generate a localized turf grass data map.

Embodiments of assemblies for use with mowers are provided herein. In some embodiments, an assembly includes: a substantially circular baffle body configured to at least partially surround a blade and defining a cutting chamber, the baffle body including an intake side and a discharge side, wherein an upper portion of the baffle body includes a discharge opening proximate the discharge side and a diameter of the baffle body is less than or equal to approximately one half of an inch larger than a diameter of the blade.
