A remote operator station may include a seat. A first and a second input device may be disposed on the seat. An interface device may be discretely arranged with respect to the remote operator station and may include an interface processor in communication with a machine. The interface processor may be configured to remotely control non-movement features and function of the machine. An electronic control module may be in communication with, at least, the first and second input devices. The electronic control module may be configured to: receive input signals from one of the first and second input devices; process the input signals; and communicate wirelessly processed input signals to a machine for remote operation thereof.

A vehicle has a frame, seats, front and rear suspension assemblies, front and rear wheels, a motor, a rear differential, left and right constant velocity joints operatively connected to the rear differential; and left and right half-shaft operatively connecting the constant velocity joints to the rear wheels. Each of the rear suspension assemblies has: a trailing arm having a front end pivotally connected to the frame; a knuckle pivotally connected to a rear portion of the trailing arm; lower and upper links pivotally connected between the trailing arm and the frame; and a toe link pivotally connected between the knuckle and the frame. Each of the rear suspension assemblies has an instant center axis passing through a connection between the trailing arm and the frame. Centers of the velocity joints are laterally outward of their corresponding instant center axes when viewed in a top plan view of the vehicle.

A adjustable assist device for and method for using the assist device for exiting a zero turn lawn mower or adjusting a cutting deck height of a zero turn lawn mower having an operator deck and an operator seat proximate the operator deck wherein the adjustable assist device is attached and extends upwardly from the deck and is positioned forward of the operator seat and comprises a hand hold section for gripping to aid an operator in reaching a standing position on the operator deck. The adjustable assist device can change its height based on changing the pivot between the device and the deck.

A motor vehicle seat including a sitting part including a base panel bordered at least partially by a side panel, the sitting part configured to be mounted on the vehicle floor panel in two different positions of: a first accommodating position, in which the side panel extends in a first direction, at the rear of the base panel and forms a portion of the seatback of the seat, and a second reversed position, in which the side panel extends in front of the base panel, in a second direction opposite the first. The sitting part further includes an opening configured for passage of a base for securing a safety belt when the sitting part is in the accommodating position. A motor vehicle can include the seat.

A seat device includes a seat part that is capable of changing a posture to a use posture that allows sitting on the seat part and to a non-use posture that does not allow sitting on the seat part. A seat support can support the seat part in a state in which the seat part has been changed to the use posture. A guide member has a free groove that slidably guides a sliding part of the seat support and a regulation groove that regulates sliding of the sliding part in a state in which the seat part has been changed to the use posture. The guide member can be fixed on the seat part. A spring biases the seat support so that the sliding part is held in the regulation groove in the state in which the seat part has been changed to the use posture. A lever may cause the sliding part to slide from the regulation groove to the free groove and allow the seat support to swing downward.
