Abstract:
A limb and branch trimming apparatus includes a frame having a support platform and an upstanding mast member; a cutting assembly having a plurality of cutting members, wherein the cutting members are rotatably connected at the mast member; and a power source for powering the cutting members independently from the vehicle's power source. The support platform of the limb and branch trimming apparatus is removably mountable to or near the top front portion of a vehicle. The apparatus is used for vertically cutting limbs, branches, and brush along a walkway, pathway, or trail where a tractor would typically be too large to navigate said pathway or trail.
Abstract:
An implement (1) comprises a number of work devices (2A,2B,2C) for performing work therewith in an operative position. The work devices comprise an input drive shaft (4) which sets the work devices into operation. At least one work device (2B) of the work devices comprises an output shaft (3B) coupled to the input drive shaft (4A) of the work device and the input drive shaft (4C) of a subsequent work device (2C). The mutual coupling of the input and output shafts of the work devices together forms an efficient single drive line with which the work devices can be driven simultaneously without a separate drive branch being required per work device.
Abstract:
A work vehicle includes a driving wheel motor for driving at least one driving wheel, a working implement-related motor for driving at least one working implement, and at least one controller. The at least one controller sets, upon satisfaction of a predetermined condition set in advance, a relationship between vehicle speed of the work vehicle and working implement-related target rotational speed of the working implement-related motor to a working travelling cooperative relationship according to which the working implement-related target rotational speed is increased according to an increase in the vehicle speed at least within a predetermined vehicle speed range of the work vehicle, and controls the working implement-related motor to implement a working travelling cooperative mode in which the working implement-related motor is driven at the working implement-related target rotational speed based on the working travelling cooperative relationship.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a motor connection system and method for mounting and removing a motor to and from a reel assembly frame of a turf-care vehicle without the use of tools. In various embodiments, the system includes a plurality of shoulder bolts longitudinally extending from a mounting end of the motor and a bearing housing that is mountable to a reel assembly frame of a turf-care vehicle. The bearing housing includes a plurality of self-tightening keyhole slots structured and operable to receive a respective one of the shoulder bolts. Each keyhole slot comprises a interior bezel that is interoperable with the respective shoulder bolt such that rotation of the motor to a Home position will structurally hold and secure the motor to the bearing housing.
Abstract:
In a walk behind lawnmower 1 for mowing lawns that bifurcates a power from an engine 5 and transmits it to drum-type wheels 7L, 7R and a reel cutter 12, each of the first power transmission passage 35 for transmitting the power from the engine 5 to the drum-type wheels 7L, 7R and the second power transmission passage 36 for transmitting the power from the engine 5 to the reel cutter 12 has a gear variable speed mechanism 30 and an interchange mechanism 134 as speed changing structures for changing a rotating speed of each of drum shafts 16L, 16R as driving shafts.
Abstract:
A bicycle powered lawn mower comprises a mower frame, to which is attached a rear axle carrying a pair of rear wheels. The mower frame includes bicycle support brackets whereby a bicycle can be releasably received on the frame. A drive is provided whereby the mower frame can be transported over a surface. The mower frame further comprises a cutter blade assembly operatively connected to the drive so that the blade assembly can be selectively activated or deactivated.
Abstract:
A system for controlling a grass cutting reel assembly of a turf-care vehicle. The system includes: a reel cylinder motor operable to rotate a reel cylinder of a grass cutting reel assembly of a turf-care vehicle at a desired rotational rate of speed to provide a controllable frequency of clip for the reel assembly; an automated height of cut control system operable to control a position of a front roller of the reel assembly to provide a controllable height of cut for the reel assembly; and a controller system operable to control the reel cylinder motor and the height of cut control system to provide a particular frequency of clip and a particular height of cut stipulated by one of a plurality of cutting scenarios programmed into the controller system and selected via a user interface of the controller system that is accessible by an operator onboard the turf-care vehicle.
