Abstract: A thin lawn mower blade comprises a main body portion having first and second end portions substantially equidistant from a center of rotation. Each of the first and second end portions has a cutting edge portion. Further, the mower blade comprises a elevational profile having raised center portion with a maximum height and a plateau portion. The maximum height to blade thickness ratio is at least two-to-one. Further, since the mower blade is generally not heat treated, ribbing is added to the mower blade to provide strength.

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: Provided is a ground following trimmer having a frame, a trimmer, and a height adjustment suspension. The trimmer extends between the frame right side and the frame left side. The height adjustment suspension has a slider-crank mechanism engaged with the frame and having a crank and a slider. The crank defines a height adjustment axis about which the crank is rotatably engaged to the frame, and a roller axis offset from the height adjustment axis by a fixed crank distance. The slider has a first slider end engaged to the frame, and a second slider end engaged to the crank to transmit work from the slider to the crank to rotate the crank with respect to the frame about the height adjustment axis. Rotation of the crank about the height adjustment axis changes the position of the roller axis in the height direction.
