Flex wing mower
A mowing machine may include a central cutting deck generally disposed in a neutral mowing plane and a wing cutting deck pivotable with respect to the central cutting deck. A main gearbox may be connected to a wing gearbox by a wing driveline. The main gearbox may be disposed a sufficient distance forward of the central cutting deck and the wing cutting deck to permit the wing cutting deck to pivot about a hinge in a range of motion without disconnecting the wing driveline from either the main gearbox or the wing gearbox.
Three-point hitch mount systems
Three-point hitch mount systems for connecting an implement to a tow vehicle having two lower hitch arms and an upper link arm are disclosed. The hitch mount systems may include a lift bar configured to be attached to the two hitch arms of the tow vehicle. The hitch mount systems may include a yoke assembly. The yoke assembly includes a forward-facing slot and a downward-facing slot for removably receiving the lift bar.
AGRICULTURAL DEVICE WITH TWO WORK UNITS
An agricultural device with two work units, the device being able to occupy a work configuration and a transport configuration and comprising a support arm pivotally mounted on a chassis around a lift axis substantially parallel to the direction of advance and around which the device is pivoted to reach the various configurations mentioned above, each unit being pivotally mounted relative to the support arm around a connecting axis, each unit comprising a respective guided end and a respective free end further away from the corresponding connecting axis than its guided end. The agricultural device includes a central actuator configured to apply on each of the units a biasing force opposed to a downward pivoting movement by its free end around the corresponding connecting axis, at least in the work configuration.
Blade assembly for a grass cutting mobile robot
A grass cutting mobile robot includes a body and a blade assembly connected to the body and rotatable about a drive axis. The blade assembly includes blades, a housing to hold the blades, a coupling latch configured to lock the housing to a drive shaft of the mobile robot, and a spring that connects the blade to the coupling latch. The housing is configured for coupling to an actuator so that the housing is rotatable about a drive axis, and receives a shaft that connects the housing to the actuator. The shaft includes a groove or an undercut therein. The coupling latch is rotatable within the housing to move an engagement end towards, or away from the groove or undercut. The engagement end is positionable within the groove to lock the housing to the actuator.
Stand-on mower with an oscillating front axle
A zero turn radius lawnmower, such as a stand-on lawnmower, including a main frame having a first end portion and a second end portion, a pair of drive wheels operably coupled to the second end portion of the main frame and configured to be driven independently in both forward and reverse directions, and a front axle assembly pivotally coupled to the first end portion of the main frame about a single axis. The zero turn radius lawnmower also includes a pair of caster wheels coupled to respective ends of the front axle assembly such that the pair of caster wheels are able to move relative to the main frame, as well as a mower deck coupled to the main frame by at least one first linkage and coupled to the front axle assembly by at least one second linkage.
Agricultural machine provided with a simplified safety system enabling a tool or group of tools connected to a hitching support by a support arm to carry out a safety movement
An agricultural machine includes a hitching support, at least one tool or group of tools that can be transferred between an operational position and a raised position, at least one support arm that is connected to the hitching support via two joints and to the tool or group of tools at an assembly location, and a safety device for performing a safety movement under the effect of pressure. At least one first safety movement phase is carried out around the first joint or around one of the two joints. The safety device includes at least one guiding device to allow for a variation in a distance between the other of the two joints and the assembly location when the rearward rotation is carried out around the first joint.
IMPLEMENT CONTROL
Systems and methods are provided for controlling operation of an agricultural vehicle-implement combination. An orientation of the vehicle, the implement and/or the vehicle-implement combination is used to determine whether an adjustment in a lateral position of the implement is required. An actuator mechanism is provided for controlling the lateral position of the implement in accordance with any determined adjustment.
High-efficiency cutting system
A high-efficiency cutting system for an autonomous mower provides a multiple blade tip cutting radius for a cleaner cut, and more complete mow. The system includes a spinning blade disk provided within a housing including a vertical standoff. The blade disk includes a first pair of cutting blades located between the center of the blade disk and the circumference of the blade disk, and a second pair of cutting blades located radially inward from the first pair of cutting blades. The cutting blades extend downward and away from the blade disk at an angle.

RIDING MOWING DEVICE
A riding mowing device includes a seat, a frame, a cutting assembly, a walking assembly, a power supply assembly, and a steering wheel assembly. The cutting assembly includes a cutting deck and a mowing element. The cutting assembly is mounted to the frame. The walking assembly is used for driving the riding mowing device to walk. The power supply assembly is used for powering at least the cutting assembly and the walking assembly and mounted to the frame. The steering wheel assembly includes a steering wheel for the user to operate and a support rod connecting the steering wheel to the frame. The riding mowing device further includes a mounting assembly including a locked position and an unlocked position, where when the mounting assembly is in the unlocked position, the steering wheel assembly is switchable between at least a first working position and a second working position.
