A method for sharpening cutting knives carried by a cutter drum in a housing of an agricultural vehicle includes: rotating the cutter drum while keeping a sharpening door closed so an overpressure is created inside the housing, the sharpening door shielding a sharpening stone from the cutting knives while creating the overpressure; opening a transition door of the housing below the cutter drum to eject crop material through the open transition door; opening the sharpening door to expose the cutting knives to the sharpening stone and closing the transition door; grinding one or more of the cutting knives with the exposed sharpening stone; and closing the sharpening door to shield the sharpening stone from the cutting knives after grinding.

The invention regards a robotic gardening device comprising driving means for propelling the robotic gardening device, a working tool for performing dedicated gardening work and a controlling unit for controlling said driving means and the working tool and a method for controlling the same. The robotic gardening device further comprises at least one environment sensor generating a signal indicative of objects in the environment of the robotic gardening device, a computing unit for classifying these objects, wherein the classes comprise at least two different classes for objects being determined to be humans. The computing unit is configured to control the driving means and/or the working device according to a predetermined behavior associated with the respective objects class.

An adjustable stalk stomper and/or chopper curtain assembly for a header of an agricultural harvester. The adjustable assembly comprises a control arm, at least one member connected to the control arm, wherein the at least one member is configured to knock down plant stalks and/or to shield the agricultural harvester from flying debris, and wherein the control arm is configured to provide for adjustment of the orientation of the at least one member relative to the ground and the header. An agricultural harvester header may include the above adjustable assembly and a frame having a toolbar. An agricultural harvester may include such header.

The work machine includes a housing, a motor positioned on an upper surface of the housing, a battery connected with the motor, and a blade to be driven by the motor. An air introduction member that cools a control device by causing air to flow is provided on an inside of a motor case, plural bottom surface ventilation ports and plural side surface ventilation ports are provided in the motor case, both of the ventilation ports causing air to flow into the inside of the motor case, and the plural bottom surface ventilation ports and the plural side surface ventilation ports are provided in positions lower than the air introduction member and the control device.

A vegetation trimmer having a blade guard including a drive motor and an elongated drive shaft coupled to the drive motor, the drive shaft disposed within a shaft housing having first and second ends, the first end of the shaft housing coupled to the drive motor and a power head coupled to a second end thereof. The vegetation trimmer also including a blade guard coupled to the power head assembly, and a cutting blade attached to an output shaft of the power head assembly for rotation relative to the blade guard. The cutting blade being rotatable relative to the blade guard for cutting vegetation when the vegetation trimmer is operational. The blade guard having a diameter larger than a diameter of the cutting blade for protecting the blade as well as structures near or against where the vegetation trimmer is used. The blade guard defining a plurality of shear openings.
