    Abstract: An automated steering device is provided usable in conjunction with power equipment machines. By way of example, the automated steering device can provide user-assisted steering for a power equipment machine to maintain tight parallel paths. The user-assisted steering can be defined relative to an initial vector traversed through user directed operation of the power equipment machine, independent of or at least in part independent of a predefined area of operation for the power equipment machine. Position location data refined by local terrestrial positioning system correction devices, or onboard rotational correction devices can be provided to obtain high positioning accuracy, and minimal path deviation. As a result, highly accurate pathing can be provided by way of the disclosed automated steering devices.

    Abstract: A standing operator support system for riding equipment, such as a standing mower, includes a suspendable standing platform for supporting the load of a standing operator and a suspension assembly adjustably engageable with the standing platform to suspend the standing platform relative to a fixable platform pivot axis of the standing platform. The suspension assembly is configured to allow for a uniform suspension experience for varied operators of varied weights while maintaining the standing platform in a relatively uniform and substantially horizontal orientation relative to terrain being traversed for the varied operators of varied weights. The suspension assembly is adjustable relative to the standing platform via a single motion to adjust between operator weight settings. The suspension assembly also may be adjustable relative to the standing platform for traverse over discrete raised portions of a terrain, such as a low rock wall or a curb.

    Abstract: Calibrating and optimizing settings of power equipment devices are detailed throughout this disclosure. A mobile device application can be connected with a control device of a power equipment, and data pertaining to current environmental conditions (e.g., turf moisture), turf characteristics (e.g., type of grass, etc.) or machine parameters can be entered into the mobile device application and utilized for generating improved setting value(s). Also disclosed are algorithms for correlating these conditions, characteristics and parameters with adjustment data for adjusting machine settings to achieve a desired performance of a power equipment device.

    Abstract: An autonomous mobile work system (20) includes a drive wheel (34) that is connected to a frame (24) and a rotating blade assembly (36). The rotating blade assembly (36) includes a blade assembly axis of rotation (38) and is connected to the frame (24) within a housing (26). The mobile work system (20) further includes a single motor (40) operably connected to the blade assembly (36). The motor (50) includes a motor output shaft (44) and the motor output shaft (44) includes an output shaft axis of rotation (46). The mobile work system (20) still further includes a gear box (50) operably connected to the drive wheel (34) and the motor output shaft (44). The single motor (50) urges rotation of both the rotating blade assembly (36) and the drive wheel (34). The gear box (50) can include a planetary gear set (104) including a ring gear (110) defining cavities (120) at its outside diameter (124). A locking shaft (126) can rotate between an engaged position and a disengaged position with one of the cavities (120).
