摘要:
Suspension systems and grounds maintenance vehicles incorporating the same are disclosed. The suspension system may include biasing elements or springs that may be adjusted to vary the preload and thus change the spring and dampening characteristics of the suspension system. In some embodiments, the system may include an adjustment mechanism that permits simultaneous adjustment of two springs via a single action. In other embodiments, features adapted to assist an operator with mounting/dismounting the vehicle are disclosed.

A lawn maintenance vehicle includes an adjustable seat assembly, wherein the seat assembly is rotatable relative to a frame of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is rotatable in order to maintain the operator in a substantially vertical seated alignment while operating the vehicle on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is also rotatable when the vehicle is in a zero-turn or tight-turn maneuver, wherein the seat is rotated toward the center of turning radius to offset the centrifugal forces experienced by the operator during such a maneuver.

A creeper for scooting around on top of decking for decking installation, maintenance, and/or repair activities may minimize injury to a human user's knees and/or back. Movement-means of the creeper, such as, but not limited to, casters may be attached at or near a bottom of a base of the creeper to facilitate such scooting around. A seat may be attached to a top of the base of the creeper, wherein the seat may be sat upon by the human user during use of the creeper. Also attached to the base of the creeper may be a drill-guide. The drill-guide may facilitate controlled and repeatable predrilling of pilot holes, at predetermined angles (e.g., perpendicular) into decking planks and/or into joists. The creeper may also facilitate attachment of decking members, with the pilot holes, to joists.

A lawn mower includes a seat plate movably coupled to the frame. An operator seat is coupled to the seat plate. An armrest is laterally spaced from the operator seat and includes an elongated support, an arm support surface, and a control panel. The elongated support has a first end fixed to the seat plate and a second end. The arm support surface is coupled to the second end and can support a user's arm. The control panel is positioned between the arm support surface and the second end of the elongated support. The control panel is fixed to the elongated support for movement with the seat plate such that the control panel remains stationary relative to the seat plate. The control panel includes an actuator to control a function of the lawn mower. The actuator is configured to be actuated while the user's arm is on the support surface.

An agricultural working machine with a seat for an operator of the agricultural working machine, with a monitor for displaying data, such as operating data of the agricultural working machine, and/or an attachment of the agricultural working machine, and with an adjustable holding device that holds the monitor. The adjustable holding device enables adjustment of the height, tilt, and distance of the monitor relative to the seat.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a method comprising dampening movement of a cab supported by a chassis according to at least one dampening component; receiving plural inputs from at least one sensor and a seat suspension system; and based on the received plural inputs, causing an adjustment to the dampening movement of the cab according to the at least one dampening component.
摘要:
A suspension system for use with a grounds maintenance vehicle such as a ride-on lawn mower. In one embodiment, the suspension system provide at least a first suspension apparatus positioned between a chassis of the mower and an operator support platform. The first suspension apparatus may include one or more suspension units that may be quickly reconfigured to provide variable suspension characteristics. The system may also include a second suspension apparatus longitudinally spaced-apart from the first suspension apparatus. A pivot member may be provided to assist in reducing or eliminating all but certain degrees of freedom of the platform relative to the chassis.
