A pivoting seat belt system includes a seat belt retractor and a seat belt receiver, each of which are pivotably mounted to a head of a bracket that is pivotably mounted to a ROPS located behind an operator seat of a zero turn mower. The head of each bracket restricts the angle of pivoting of the seat belt retractor and seat belt receiver, and a slot in each bracket restricts the angle of pivoting on the ROPS.

A robotic work tool having a chassis, a cover and a controller for controlling the operation of the robotic work tool. The robotic work tool further has a lift/collision detection device (300) connected to the controller for providing sensor input, and which Hft/coUision detection device (300) includes a first sensor element (340) and a second sensor element (345). The controller (110) is configured to receive sensor input of a distance value indicating a distance between the first sensor element (340) and the second sensor element (345), determine that a lift has been detected, fay comparing the distance value with a lift detection threshold and/or determine that a collision has been detected, by comparing the distance value with a collision detection threshold, wherein the collision detection threshold is different from the lift detection threshold.

A mower includes a frame, at least one cutting unit, and a lifting unit. The lifting unit is connected to the at least one cutting unit and includes a yoke assembly, a first arm assembly, a second arm assembly, and a third arm assembly. The yoke assembly is connected to the cutting unit. The first arm assembly is pivotably mounted to the vehicle frame about a first pivot axis. The second arm assembly is pivotably mounted to the first arm assembly about a second pivot axis and to the yoke assembly about a third pivot axis with the second pivot axis and third pivot axis being non-parallel to the first pivot axis. The third arm assembly includes a first end pivotally connected to the frame and a second end pivotally connected to the second arm assembly.

An agricultural system that includes a cylinder and a rod that moves axially in and out of the cylinder to raise and lower a header. A cylinder lock system controls movement of the rod. The cylinder lock system includes a cap-end fixture that couples to the cylinder and receives the rod. A rod-end fixture couples to an end of the rod. The system includes a lock piston. The lock piston includes a protrusion. The lock piston rotates about the rod and selectively couples the protrusion to the cap-end fixture to lock and unlock the rod-end fixture to the cap-end fixture.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body frame extending in a vehicle body front/rear direction, a front wheel unit and a rear wheel unit attached to the vehicle body frame, a driver's seat disposed upwardly of the vehicle body frame, a ROPS and and an operational tool operable by a driver seated at the driver's seat. The ROPS includes a pair of left and right lower portions fixed to the vehicle body frame and an upper portion supported to the lower portions to be pivotable between a vertical posture and a horizontal posture about a pivot shaft extending in a vehicle body transverse direction, an actuator unit for generating power, and an operational mechanism configured to pivot the upper portion with using the power. The actuator is controlled by the operational tool.

A trimmer which is suitable for cutting vegetation such as plants, bushes, hedges and trees. The trimmer includes a motor housing, a shaft tube enclosing a drive shaft, a front handle provided at the shaft tube, an electric motor as well as a cutting unit. The shaft tube which carries the front handle includes a portion which has a smaller diameter than the rest of the shaft tube. The trimmer is ergonomic and has higher operational safety than conventional trimmers. Moreover, the shaft tube, and drive shaft enclosed within the shaft tube, can't be crushed by compressive forces.

A lawn mower, wherein the cutter system of the lawn mower needs to judge whether the start pulse and the start signal of the cutter switch are valid at the same time under the condition that the seat switch is closed, and the cutter system will be started, only the two conditions are met at the same time, thus not only improving the safety when the cutter system is started, but also the startup of the cutter system can be completed automatically, saving time and labor, and reducing the operator's operation difficulty.
