The mower unit includes a mower deck having a top wall and side walls extending downwards from an outer circumferential edge of the top wall, a rotational shaft extending upwards through the top wall from an inside space formed by the top wall and the side walls, a cutter blade attached to a lower portion of the rotational shaft within the inside space and rotatable together with the rotational shaft, an electric mower motor having an output shaft that can rotatably drive the rotational shaft, and a flywheel rotatable in association with the rotational driving of the mower motor.

A speed-adjustable self-propelled four-wheel-drive walk-behind lawn mower is provided. The lawn mower may include a cutting deck, an engine installed on the cutting deck including an engine shaft, and a cutting blade installed inside the cutting deck. The lawn mower further includes a first transmission box and a second transmission box. The lawn mower includes an engine pulley installed on the engine shaft, a first combined pulley in communication with the first transmission box, and a second combined pulley in communication with the second transmission box. The lawn mower includes a belt connecting the first combined pulley, the second combined pulley, and the engine pulley. The belt is configured to transmit, via the engine pulley, a driving force from the engine to the first combined pulley and the second combined pulley to rotate the first transmission box and the second transmission box.

A method and kit for extracting auxiliary power from a power source installed on or associated with an implement, and supplying the auxiliary power to an auxiliary tool associated with the implement. The invention is preferably employed in the context of an auxiliary tool, e.g., in the form of a rotary trimmer, edger or the like, associated with another power implement, such as a lawnmower, wherein the power is preferably extracted from a driven member of the implement. Advantageously, the device is easy to attach/detach, is universally locatable and/or orientable on the implement, and is easily retrofittable to practically any existing implement, such as a lawnmower deck.

Suspension systems and grounds maintenance vehicles incorporating the same are disclosed. The suspension system may include biasing elements or springs that may be adjusted to vary the preload and thus change the spring and dampening characteristics of the suspension system. In some embodiments, the system may include an adjustment mechanism that permits simultaneous adjustment of two springs via a single action. In other embodiments, features adapted to assist an operator with mounting/dismounting the vehicle are disclosed.

A lawnmower can include a deck, blade, electric motor, battery pack, housing and fan. An air inlet can be located at the front end of the housing and adjacent to the top surface of the deck. The fan can be mounted in the housing and the housing can be configured such that, when the fan operates, air enters the housing air inlet at the front end of the housing, air flowing through the housing air inlet enters the first chamber, air flowing in the first chamber flows through the battery pack, air exiting the first chamber enters the second chamber and flows through the second chamber, air flowing in the second chamber flows through the motor in a direction that extends along the blade axis, and air exiting the motor exits the housing through the at least one air outlet.

A lawn mower includes a blade assembly configured to perform a cutting function. The blade assembly includes an upper blade mounted about a blade rotation axis and an upper blade proximal portion being substantially flat and including a first cutting edge. A lower blade is mounted in overlap with the upper blade about the blade rotation axis. The lower blade includes a lower blade proximal portion positioned outward from the lower blade mounting portion in a radial direction, a lower blade end portion positioned outward from the lower blade proximal portion and below the lower blade proximal portion, and a second cutting edge. A lower blade falling portion transitions from the lower blade proximal portion to the lower blade end portion.

Trimmer guards and trimmers are provided. A trimmer guard includes a body having a deck having an inner side adapted for connecting the trimmer guard to a trimmer; an outer side that is substantially arc-shaped. The body of the trimmer has a first edge and a second edge each arranged between the inner side and the outer side. The body further has a skirt extending from the outer side at an angle to the deck. The body includes a line cutter assembly on a bottom surface. When the trimmer guard is connected to a trimmer, the deck and the skirt together define a space for housing a rotary cutting tool of a cutting assembly of the trimmer. A plurality of baffles are formed on the body of the trimmer guard. The baffles are adapted to reduce noise generated by the trimmer during operation.

A walking work apparatus includes a body, a walking wheel set, a function assembly, a drive motor and a handle. The handle is connected to the body and configured to push the body to walk. The handle includes a hand grip, and a multi-connecting rod assembly. The hand grip is configured to be held by a user. The multi-connecting rod assembly connects the hand grip and the body. The multi-connecting rod assembly includes at least a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a rotary device connecting the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. The switch is configured to be operated to a lock position and an unlocked position.
