A mower includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, a cutting unit coupled to the chassis, the cutting unit including a housing and a cutting element rotatably coupled to the housing, a motor configured to move the cutting element relative to the housing, and a controller operatively coupled to the motor. The controller is configured to receive location data indicating at least one of a position or a travel speed of the mower and vary an operating condition of the cutting unit based on the location data.

Systems and methods of harvesting a shrub from a base of the shrub proximate a ground surface utilizing a shrub harvester include dislodging the shrub from a base of the shrub proximate the ground surface via a shrub dislodging system on the shrub harvester. The methods also include receiving the shrub via a shrub release system on the shrub harvester. The methods further include grasping the shrub via the shrub release system on the shrub harvester. The methods also include releasing the shrub via the shrub release system, which can include a plurality of catch members.

Control zones are identified on a thematic map and work machine actuator settings are identified for each control zone. A position of the work machine is sensed and actuators on the work machine are controlled based on the control zone that the work machine is in, and based upon the actuator settings corresponding to the control zone. The control zone is then divided, on a display, into a harvested portion of the control zone on which an observed condition value is shown, and control zone that has yet to be harvested, on which an estimated value of the condition is shown.

A haulm cutting apparatus includes lateral and vertical guiding means or surfaces and a first, rotatable shear rotatable around an axis of rotation extending in a direction with a vertical component. The apparatus further includes a counter shear for cooperation with the first, rotatable shear, and the first, rotatable shear and the counter shear are positioned in a side-by-side relationship relative to a direction of travel during operation.

An apparatus for weed removal includes a chassis and at least two end effectors mechanically coupled to the chassis, each end effectors including a rotary axle, each rotary axle coupled to a drive unit for receiving a mechanical force to cause the rotary axle to rotate. The rotary axles, along with weed abrasion members coupled thereto, are at least partially covered by a deflector. A front end effector is configured to dislodge a crown and/or stem portion of unwanted plant material from the ground, while another end effector is configured to convert the unwanted plant material that has been dislodged from the ground into mulch.

Workability of a working machine is enhanced. A bush cutter includes a motor, a control unit, a fan, a housing, and a front cover. A microcomputer for controlling driving of the motor is mounted on the control unit. The fan generates airflow when receiving a driving force of the motor. The housing houses the motor, the control unit, and the fan, and includes an opening. The control unit has a plate shape with an outer shape size maximized when being viewed in a front-back direction, and is arranged between the opening and the fan in the front-back direction. The front cover is erected from an inner wall of the housing to overlap the control unit when being viewed in the front-back direction.

A golf course surveying system includes a mower and one or more processing circuits. The mower includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, and a cutting unit coupled to the chassis. The cutting unit includes a cutting element. The one or more processing circuits are configured to acquire location data indicating a current location of the mower, acquire topographic data indicating at least one characteristic of a terrain at the current location of the mower, and generate a topographic map of the terrain based on the location data and the topographic data.
