A mower is provided and includes: a housing; a movable upper cover, disposed on the housing; and a cutting assembly, disposed on the housing. The cutting assembly includes a blade carrier assembly, and the blade carrier assembly includes a blade carrier and a blade. The blade carrier includes a disc body and a blade receiving groove recessed inwardly from an edge of the disc body along an axial direction of the disc body. The blade is mounted in the blade receiving groove and arranged to be that the blade is not protruded out of the blade receiving groove in the axial direction of the disc body.

A mower includes a mowing system for cutting grass, a housing, and a traveling assembly including walking wheels. The mowing system includes a cutting assembly, a driving mechanism, and a height adjustment mechanism. The cutting assembly includes a mowing element for cutting the grass. The height adjustment mechanism is used for adjusting a movement of the cutting assembly to have different cutting heights, where the height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment motor for generating an adjustment force for adjusting the mowing element to the different cutting heights. The mower further includes a parameter detection unit and a control unit, where the parameter detection unit is configured to detect a working parameter of the adjustment motor in a working process, and the control unit is configured to identify a cutting height of the mowing element according to the acquired working parameter.

A lawnmower cutter assembly (22) comprises a knife carrier arrangement (26) and a skid plate arrangement (30), which are axially held between an axial stop shoulder (60) of the cutter drive shaft (34) and an end piece (54) rigidly connected to the cutter drive shaft (34), the end piece (54) thereby vertically carrying the skid plate arrangement (30) and the knife carrier arrangement (26). The cutter assembly (22) may be attached to a lawnmower, which may be a robotic lawnmower, by positioning the knife carrier arrangement (26) and the skid plate arrangement (30) on the cutter drive shaft (34); and thereafter, axially locking the axial position of the knife carrier arrangement (26) and the skid plate arrangement (30) in relation to the cutter drive shaft (34).

A lawn mowing apparatus may include sensors that are fastened to both its mower deck and its chassis. The sensors may sense a position of the mower deck in relation to the chassis. The sensed position of the mower deck may be presented to the operator via a dashboard display of the lawn tractor or transmitted via a wireless signal to another device. Based on such sensed position, an operator of the lawn tractor may manually adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable operating range. In some embodiments, servomotors may used to adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable range.

A swing assistance device for a brush cutter. The swing assistance device includes: a bracket; a coupling unit disposed on the top surface of the bracket, and coupled to a shaft at an inclined angle; left and right extension rods configured such that the outer ends thereof are located on both sides of a blade with the inner ends thereof coupled to both sides of the bracket; left and right rotation parts rotatably coupled to the outer ends of the left and right extension rods, and configured to, when the shaft swings in left-right directions, rotate while drawing arcs and assist in the swing operation; and a plurality of rotation rollers rotatably coupled to the outer circumference of each of the left and right rotation parts, and configured to, when the shaft swings in the left-right directions, rotate and assist in the swing operation.

An autonomous vehicle (e.g., mower) includes two or more wheels supporting a chassis upon a ground surface. A cutting motor powers at least one cutting blade, and a cutting frame supports the cutting motor relative to the chassis. The cutting frame is movable, relative to the chassis, to allow adjustment of a height-of-cut of the cutting blade relative to the ground surface. First and second guide rods are operatively attached to the chassis and are received within corresponding first and second apertures of the cutting frame to guide movement of the cutting frame. Biased bearings associated with the cutting frame may bias associated bearing members against the guide rods.

A disc mower for cutting crop material includes a plurality of cutter assemblies attached to a frame. Each of the cutter assemblies includes a respective motor operatively attached to a respective disc for rotating the disc. A cutter controller is operatively coupled to the respective motor of each of the plurality of cutter assemblies for selectively controlling a respective commanded rotational speed of the respective motor of one of the cutter assemblies independently of the respective commanded rotational speed of the respective motor of another of the cutter assemblies. Each of the individual cutter assemblies may be vertically moveable relative to the frame independently of the other of the cutter assemblies.
