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 ROPS (protective structure) (15) is obtained by coupling upper ends of a pair of leg portions (15a) with a coupling portion (15b) and forming an arc-shaped curved portion (15c) between each of the leg portions (15a) and the coupling portion (15b), and is arranged so as to straddle vehicle bodies (4 and 5) and fixed. A working light (17) is fixed to the left curved portion (15c) via a mounting bracket (19), and a rotary light (18) is detachably mounted by fixing a mounting bracket (20). A protect region (E) formed into an approximately triangular shape is formed by the curved portion (15c) of the ROPS (15), a lateral restriction line (L1) in which a left-side surface corresponding to a maximum width of the vehicle bodies (4 and 5) is extended upward and an upper restriction line (L2) in which a maximum height of the ROPS (15) is extended laterally. The working light (17) and the mounting brackets (19 and 20) are arranged in the protect region (E), thereby preventing an outward protrusion.

A power hoist equipment crane system to be used with a tractor roll bar, the system including a pivotable support bar configured to be substantially U-shaped having two side portions and a middle portion connecting the two side portions, a cable support member provided to the pivotable support bar and configured to support a cable from a hoist, and bracket assemblies provided respectively proximate each end of the pivotable support bar and configured to couple the pivotable support bar to the tractor roll bar in a pivoting arrangement, the bracket assemblies configured such that the pivotable support bar is pivotable between a substantially vertical stowed position when not in use, and a substantially horizontal use position in which the cable support member is positioned at a point spaced back from the tractor so as to be located over an implement that is attachable to the tractor.

Provided is a compact and high-strength cab capable of securing an excellent field of view for work. The cab includes a guard protecting a cab body, and a wiper having a blade to wipe a front window member and a blade actuator for actuating the blade. The guard includes a pair of side pillars and an actuator housing beam interconnecting the side pillars and housing the blade actuator. The actuator housing beam includes a hollow beam body formed with a body opening and a front-rear partition plate partitioning the inside of the beam body into front and rear sections. The body opening allows the blade actuator to be assembled to the front-rear partition plate therethrough.

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 canopy assembly includes a lower canopy installed fixedly in a side of a driver's seat and including a pair of first and second lower pipes that extend upwardly respectively, a pair of fastening blocks inserted and fixed into the first and second lower pipes respectively, each of the fastening blocks having a receiving hole therein that extends from an upper surface into the inside thereof, and an upper canopy including a pair of first and second upper pipes that are inserted and fixed into the receiving holes of the fastening blocks respectively.

A drive and control system for a lawn tractor includes a CAN-Bus network, a vehicle controller, a pair of hydrostatic or electric transaxles controlled by respective electronic drive controllers, and one or more steering and drive input devices coupled to respective sensor(s) for sensing user steering and drive inputs. The vehicle controller communicates with one or more vehicle sensors and one or more vehicle controllers that control one or more vehicle components via the CAN-Bus network. The vehicle controller processes the user's steering and drive inputs and posts on the CAN-Bus network digital drive signals configured to obtain the desired speed and direction of motion of the lawn tractor. The electronic drive controllers convert the digital drive signals to appropriate signals for driving the hydrostatic transaxles or the electric transaxles, as equipped, based on tunable motion parameters to obtain the desired speed and direction of motion of the lawn tractor.
