摘要： Power management systems for snow throwers, snow throwers employing such power management systems, and methods of managing power in a snow thrower are discussed. One example embodiment comprises: an auger power control system configured to provide a first power to one or more augers; an impeller power control system configured to provide a second power to an impeller; and a drive power control system configured to provide a third power to one or more drive elements; and wherein, in response to at least one of a user input, a change in a first load on the one or more augers, a change in a second load on the impeller, or a change in a third load on the one or more drive elements, at least one of the first power, the second power, or the third power is increased or decreased.

摘要： Vehicle control systems that can be used, for example, to configure a vehicle (e.g., a lawn tractor or riding lawn mower) to make low- to substantially zero-radius turns. Some of the present vehicle control systems utilize at least one steered wheel position sensor to generate a signal that indicates the actual position of the steerable structure (e.g., wheel) to which the sensor is coupled, rather than a projected or anticipated position of that steerable structure. Vehicles that include such control systems.

摘要： Vehicle drive control systems, such as those, for example, configured to permit a vehicle to direct power to at least one drivable element (such as, for example, via a drive shaft, a supplemental drive, or a battery) to assist the vehicle in making a low-radius turn.
