Bagger for stand-on mower
A bagger attachment for use with a stand-on lawn mower. The bagger includes, in some embodiments, an impeller, a duct, and one or more bags which are covered by a hood. The hood is attached to a pivot frame that allows movement of the hood between open and closed positions. The bagger attachment may also include a frame assembly that facilitates mounting and removal of the bagger attachment from the mower. The bagger attachment may either contain removable bags, or may include a discharge door for dumping the clippings.
EQUIPMENT FRAME FOR A RIDING LAWN CARE VEHICLE
A riding lawn care vehicle may include a frame to which a mobility assembly is operably coupled, an equipment frame operably coupled to the frame forward of the mobility assembly, a steering assembly operably coupled to the mobility assembly to enable an operator seated on the riding lawn care vehicle to provide steering control of the riding lawn care vehicle, a removable cutting in deck and a belt positioning system. The cutting deck includes a rotatable blade and is configured to receive power for turning the blade from an equipment drive belt of the vehicle when the equipment drive belt is operably coupled with the cutting deck. The belt positioning system is configured to enable the equipment drive belt to be automatically operably coupled between the cutting deck and the riding lawn care vehicle in response to the cutting deck being docked with the equipment frame in an operational position.
Hydraulically controlled flip up mower deck
A mower frame unit is operatively connected with a tractor device and the mower frame is moveable between a generally horizontal first position and a generally vertical second position. The mower frame is moveable from the first position to the second position via a hydraulic cylinder and piston assembly carried by the mower frame to pivot the mower frame about a transverse axis. The mower frame carries a tensioner assembly that is operatively connected to a lock assembly. The tensioner assembly serves at least two purposes. Namely, to tension a belt operatively connected to mower blade and to maintain a portion of the lock assembly in a locked manner when the tensioner assembly is in a state of tension.

Crop Convergence System for Rotary Mower
In a rotary mower having ten generally horizontal cutter disks forming a total cutting length along the cutter bar of 16 feet, the discharge opening containing the parallel conditioner rolls and a parallel transfer roll has a width of at least 125 inches. This allows a first outermost one of the ten disks and approximately one half of the next adjacent disk to be mounted on the cutter bar outwardly of the discharge opening. A convergence system then includes only first and second impellers with the first impeller mounted on the first disk for rotation therewith and the second impeller mounted on an upper support above the impeller so that the second impeller hangs downwardly toward the second disk for contacting the cut crop and mounted immediately adjacent with the second impeller having a peripheral edge located at or immediately adjacent the vertical plane of the side of the discharge opening.
Mower
The disclosure provides a mower. The mower includes a vehicle frame, a walking assembly, a working assembly, a seat and a battery pack. The walking assembly includes a first walking wheel assembly and a second walking wheel assembly connected with the vehicle frame. The first walking wheel assembly and/or the second walking wheel assembly includes a main walking wheel and a hub motor, the main walking wheel is connected with the hub motor, and the hub motor is arranged outside a side of the vehicle frame. The working assembly is connected with the vehicle frame. The seat is arranged on the vehicle frame. The battery pack is lowered and mounted on the vehicle frame and extends below the seat.
Attachment for use with a prime mover to cut ground material
An attachment with cutting discs for use with a prime mover to cut ground material comprises a frame with forward and rear ends, a mounting portion at the rear end which is configured for coupling to a pivotal mounting member of the prime mover which is carried at forward ends of pivotal arms of the prime mover that can be raised or lowered, and a cutting portion at the forward end of the frame comprising a single transversely extending row of cutting discs arranged to cut the ground material in a forward working direction of movement of the prime mover. The single row of cutting discs is spaced from the mounting portion at a prescribed distance of about 4.5-5.5 feet such that cantilever action of the row of discs about the mounting member provides effective cutting action. The attachment includes shields covering the cutting discs.
HYBRID DISC CUTTING SYSTEM FOR AN AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE
An agricultural vehicle includes a chassis and a header carried by the chassis. The header includes a cutterbar with at least one cutting unit. The at least one cutting unit includes a rotary driver; a rotatable disc coupled to the rotary driver; at least one knife mount coupled to a disc surface of the rotatable disc and including a locking portion biased toward the disc surface; and a knife locked in at least one direction by the locking portion, the knife defining at least one cutting edge.
Agricultural organic device for weed control
An agricultural system includes a plurality of organic devices for controlling weeds in a planted field, the organic devices being positioned between respective adjacent rows of planted matter in a field. Each the organic devices includes a pivotable shaft having an upper end and a lower end, and a weed-control unit attached to the lower end of the pivotable shaft. The weed-control unit includes a rotatable blade for mowing weeds growing between the adjacent rows of the planted matter. The system further includes at least one motor coupled to one or more of the organic devices for driving the rotatable blade of each weed-control unit.
OUTDOOR POWER EQUIPMENT SUSPENSION SYSTEM
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
