Abstract: A tool device, such as a lawnmower, or a steerable-wheel assembly therefor may include a frame, a walking element, a drive motor, and a steerable-wheel assembly (SWA). The walking element may be coupled to the frame. The drive motor may selectively power the walking element. The SWA may be attached to the frame apart from the walking element. The SWA may include a caster connector pivotably mounted to the frame to rotate about a pivot axis, a steerable wheel rotatably coupled to the caster connector, a detectable magnet fixed to the caster connector to pivot therewith about the pivot axis, and an encoder including a magnetic sensor fixed to the frame apart from the caster connector to detect a pivotable position of the detectable magnet.

Abstract: Lawnmowers are provided. A lawnmower includes a seat configured to receive a lawnmower operator; a mowing deck having one or more cutting implements and a discharge chute; and a bagging system in fluid communication with the discharge chute through a tube, wherein the lawnmower has a first configuration when the tube is coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the lawnmower has a second configuration when the tube is not coupled to the lawnmower, wherein the tube is disposed at a lateral side of the lawnmower in the first configuration, wherein the lawnmower defines a maximum lateral width in a lateral direction, and wherein the lateral width is less than 38 inches in both the first configuration and the second configuration.
