A riding yard maintenance vehicle includes a frame to which front wheels and rear wheels of the riding yard maintenance vehicle are attachable, a steering assembly configured to receive steering inputs by an operator of the riding yard maintenance vehicle, and a mounting assembly disposed at a front end of the riding yard maintenance vehicle to which a working assembly is attachable. The working assembly receives electrical power via a plug assembly and is configured to transition between a working position and a maintenance position while operably coupled to the mounting assembly. The mounting assembly includes a locking assembly configured to prevent the transition from the working position to the maintenance position while the plug assembly provides power to the working assembly.

A stand-on mower includes a foot pedal for a user to stand on; a walking assembly including at least two drive wheels and at least two walking electric motors, where the at least two walking electric motors drive the at least two drive wheels one to one; and a power supply configured to power at least the walking assembly to enable the at least two drive wheels to output torque to drive the stand-on mower to walk and further configured to power at least a cutting assembly to enable a mowing element to cut vegetation. The ratio of maximum output torque of a single drive wheel to an unladen weight of the stand-on mower is greater than or equal to 1.2 N.Math.m/kg.

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.

A front independent suspension assembly for outdoor power equipment includes a first joint, a first wheel coupled to the joint, a first longitudinal arm pivotably coupled to the joint, a first lateral arm pivotably coupled to the joint, and a second lateral arm pivotably coupled to the joint. The second lateral suspension arranged substantially parallel to the first lateral suspension arm. The pivotal coupling between the joint and each of the first longitudinal arm, the first lateral arm, and the second lateral arm enables the first wheel to independently displace about a vertical axis

An agricultural implement including a working assembly to be guided over the ground and a suspension for suspending the working assembly so as to be vertically movable during work operation. The suspension has a headstock attachable to a tractor or a frame connected to a tractor and a first steering assembly that protrudes from the headstock and forms a four-bar linkage that is pivotably mounted on the headstock by two joints and carries a second steering assembly, to which the working assembly is attached. The suspension has a relief device for weight relief of the working assembly, which includes a variable-length force transmitter in the form of a suspension strut and/or a pressure medium cylinder, wherein the force transmitter is installed on the first steering assembly under pressure.

A lawnmower includes a frame, a pair of drive wheels, a front axle assembly, a first caster wheel, a second caster wheel, a first rod, a second rod, and a mower deck. The pair of drive wheels are coupled to a second end portion of the frame. The front axle assembly includes a bar pivotally coupled to a first end portion of the frame about a pivot axis. The first caster wheel is coupled to a first lateral end of the bar. The second caster wheel is coupled to a second lateral end of the bar. The first rod is coupled between the frame and the first lateral end of the bar. The second rod is coupled between the frame and the second lateral end of the bar. When the bar pivots about the pivot axis, the first caster wheel and the second caster wheel move relative to the frame.
