Agricultural reel cam system
An agricultural processing system including a chassis with a header coupled to the chassis. The header provides for the ingathering of agricultural product into the processing system. The header including a reel system having a plurality of arms rotationally coupled to the header. The plurality of arms include a first arm and a second arm. There is a cam track coupled to the header. The first link is pivotally coupled to the first arm and a roller is rotatably coupled to the first link, with the roller rollingly following the cam track. A tine bar is pivotally coupled to the second arm. The second link is pivotally coupled to both the first link and to the tine bar.
MOWER APPARATUS
The present invention concerns support apparatus for a mowing device, the support apparatus comprising: a front roller mechanism having one or more rollers for supporting a front region of the mowing device, the one or more rollers having a cylindrical contact surface whose longitudinal extent is configured for extending across at least 60% of the front region of the mowing device.

Raking apparatus with independently adjustable raking width and windrow width
An adjustable raking apparatus for gathering crop material into a windrow is disclosed. The raking apparatus allows the raking width and the windrow width to be independently adjusted. In some embodiments, both the raking width and the windrow width may be adjusted by the operator from the pulling vehicle attached to the raking apparatus.
Subterranean cutter / raker combination
This invention is directed toward a combination cutting blade/raking device where the blade portion slices weeds off under the soil, thereby effectively killing the plant, and a raking portion collects the uprooted weeds. The blade and rake also flatten the surface of the soil. The raking section of the invention can be lifted independently of the cutting blade. The cutting blade is reversible so a user of the invention can cut twice as much area before having to remove the blade for sharpening. The blade is slightly curved in cross section, allowing for a smoother cutting path through the soil

Self-Moving Gardening Robot and System Thereof
A self-moving gardening robot, including a positioning module, a control module, a material cavity, and a working module. The positioning module of the self-moving gardening robot is configured to perform path planning, and the control module controls the self-moving gardening robot to travel according to planned path; and the working module performs a corresponding work when the self-moving gardening robot travels. When the material cavity contains different materials, the self-moving gardening robot may finish different functional tasks based on a same control procedure. In one of embodiments, the self-moving gardening robot is further provided with an accessory interface. By connecting different functional accessories through the accessory interface, the self-moving gardening robot implements multiple functions.
Turf blade lifting assembly
A turf blade lifting assembly comprising a flexible mat composed of, for example, artificial or synthetic turf, the fibers of which are of relatively short height and are configured to commingle with natural turf; and an attachment apparatus for mounting the mat on the front of a mowing machine which mat is thereby positioned to be dragged along the turf surface prior to cutting to achieve the upright orientation of the turf blades to create a thick and uniform result for the subject area.

METHOD OF FORWARD MOUNTING ATTACHMENTS TO A WHEELED VEHICLE
An apparatus, system and method of securing attachments to a utility vehicle, particularly a stand-on, zero-turn mower. The apparatus includes an A-shaped mounting assembly having a base with first and second ends and a tubular member extending outwardly from the first end. The tubular member defines a bore that receives a shaft extending from the attachment. The mounting assembly is positioned vertically above a mower deck but on an opposite side of the frame of the mower relative thereto. The second end of the mounting assembly and part of the mower deck are secured to the frame using the same connectors. A hydraulic actuator engages a forwardmost end of the assembly and is actuatable to raise or lower the assembly relative to the frame, pivoting the assembly about the connectors. The attachment and mower deck are substantially simultaneously operable to perform separate landscaping tasks while the mower moves across a surface.
