A lawn mower comprising a frame supported on rotatable wheels for movement over a ground surface; an operator support coupled to the frame and configured to support the entire weight of an operator of the lawn mower during use thereof; a blade assembly comprising one or more blades that are configured to cut grass on the ground surface; a steering system configured to manipulate the steering direction of the wheels; a motor assembly configured to: drive the wheels so as to move the frame along the ground surface; and a first rechargeable battery module removably coupled to the frame and configured to power the motor assembly.

The present invention provides a riding lawn mower comprising a frame, a mowing device mounted to the bottom of the frame, a functional unit attached to the front of the frame, and a motor group together with a power supply mounted to the frame. The riding lawn mower also comprises a connecting device connecting the frame and the functional unit. The connecting device comprises a first connector attached on the front of the frame, a second connector attached to the functional unit, and a third connector adapted for fixedly connecting the first connector and the second connector, the first connector and the second connector respectively defining through-holes thereon, the third connector extending through the through-holes of the first and the second connectors to fixedly connect the first and the second connectors.

A mower having a supplemental battery charging station mounted thereon is provided. The mower utilizes a flywheel/alternator arrangement to output a selected voltage. The voltage is directed to the supplement battery charging station. The supplemental batteries are thereby charged at the charging station as the mower is driven forward or in another direction. The lawn mower also includes a rack (which may be in the form of a hook) to carry a battery powered supplemental lawn maintenance tool, such as a weed trimmer, hedger, edger, or leaf blower, amongst others.

Accessory attachments systems for use with turf vehicles are described and illustrated. Such systems permit outdoor maintenance tools to be secured and transported by the vehicle, e.g., in locations conveniently accessible by an operator of the vehicle without leaving the operator platform (e.g., seat), and removed from the vehicle when desired. In some embodiments, the system includes one or more connectors each having: a mounting portion adapted to be removably secured to a panel attached to the vehicle; and a tool holding portion adapted to receive and hold an outdoor maintenance tool. The mounting portion of each connector may attach to any one of a plurality of receivers formed on panels secured to various locations on the vehicle.

A method of using a support accessory rack includes aligning a first mounting portion of the support accessory rack with a first pin of a rollover protective structure. The method includes aligning a second mounting portion of the support accessory rack with a second pin of a second rollover protective structure. The method includes actuating the first pin to secure the first mounting portion to the rollover protective structure. The method further includes actuating the second pin to secure the second mounting portion to the rollover protective structure. The method includes pivoting a rotating support member of the support accessory rack away from the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion, and supporting the rotating support member onto a lateral bar of the rollover protective structure.

A support stand is used for removing, repairing, storing, and reattaching a feeder house from an agricultural combine. The stand is adapted to be raised and lowered with a forklift to position the stand adjacent to the feeder house during removal and to position the feeder house on the combine during reattachment. The stand includes a base, the base having a flat lower surface, the base being adapted to receive a lifting mechanism. An upright frame is mounted at a first end of the base, the upright frame being adapted to selectively attach to a feeder house on a combine when raised by the forklift into alignment with the feeder house.

A land preparation implement includes a rotatable drum assembly that includes a tool assembly. The tool assembly includes a tool holder and a tool. The tool includes a plurality of cleats. The tool holder includes a plurality of cleat supports. The cleats and the cleat supports cooperate to facilitate releasable coupling of the tool to the tool holder.

The lawnmower caddy is a storage apparatus. The lawnmower caddy is configured for use with a lawnmower. The lawnmower caddy is configured to store items associated with mowing a lawn. Such items include, but are not limited to, waste bags, apparel such as hats and glove, agricultural chemical formulations, agricultural tools, and beverage containers. The lawnmower caddy attaches to the lawnmower handle. The lawnmower caddy comprises a storage bag, a first holster, a plurality of fasteners, and a plurality of pockets. The plurality of fasteners and the first holster attach to the exterior of the storage bag. The plurality of fasteners attach the storage bag to the lawnmower handle. The plurality of fasteners further attaches a container of agricultural chemicals to the storage bag. The plurality of pockets contain agricultural tools, agricultural waste, and one or more domestic articles.

A rack assembly to be selectively coupled to a riding lawn mower, the rack assembly including a rack configured to have a forward and a rearward edge, one or more support members configured to extend forward from the rack proximate the forward edge and to be at least partially received in a riding lawn mower frame, a stability support configured to extend downward and forward from the rack proximate the rearward edge and to rest upon a trailer hitch mechanism of the riding lawn mower frame.

A mount for receiving and retaining at least one ramp. The mount includes a first side and a second side. The first side includes a body portion, at least one engagement finger extending in a first direction and at least one engagement finger extending in a second direction. The second side includes a body portion, at least one engagement finger extending in the first direction and at least one engagement finger extending in a second direction. At least one spacer member can be coupled to the body portion of the first and second sides so as to provide at least some spacing between the first side and the second side. The mount can be attached to a wheeled vehicle for removable attachment of one or more ramps thereto. The wheeled vehicle can be a lawn mower.
