Abstract: A lawn mower includes a cutting deck with first and second cutting blades to form clippings beneath the cutting deck and a baffle system to direct the clipping through a discharge opening. The baffle system includes a baffle wall that at least partially surrounds the first and second cutting blades to define first and second cutting chambers. The baffle wall includes a front baffle wall portion having a front guide surface to guide the clippings from the first and second cutting chambers towards the discharge opening, and a rear baffle wall portion having a concave guide surface and an end positioned between the first cutting chamber and the discharge opening. A discharge transition area is positioned between the first cutting chamber and the discharge opening.

Abstract: A utility machine, such as an outdoor power equipment unit such as a lawn mower, includes a work unit performing work in addition to motive power for the utility machine and a trailer occupied by an operator in a standing position. The operator may seamlessly step onto the trailer to operate the machine in stand-on mode and step off the trailer to operate the machine in walk-behind mode. The trailer remains in the deployed condition in both stand-on mode and walk-behind mode.

Abstract: A work machine includes a machine frame, a prime mover supported by the machine frame, and wheels rotatably coupled to the machine frame and driven by the prime mover. The wheels are supported on a ground surface. The work machine further includes a steering assembly having a pivot frame pivotally coupled to the machine frame about a pivot axis. The steering assembly is pivotable about the pivot axis relative to the machine frame to turn the work machine. The steering assembly also includes a damping mechanism positioned between the pivot frame and the machine frame to inhibit oscillations.
