Abstract: Aspects hereof relate to an operator protection apparatus having at least one over-center linkage. In some aspects, an operator protection apparatus can be raised and lowered by an operator from a seated position, for example, on a terrain working vehicle. Additionally, the at least one over-center linkage may automatically lock in the operator protection apparatus in a raised position. Accordingly, a mechanical force is then required to overcome the lock, and allow the operator protection apparatus to return to a lowered position.

Abstract: A drive-by-wire steering control system for a terrain working vehicle configured to determine a signal band corresponding to a mechanical neutral position of a steering control before the steering control moves to a forward or rearward drive position. The drive-by-wire steering control system may include a steering control movable between a first position and a second position, a sensor configured to detect a current position of the steering control and send a signal to a control corresponding to the current position of the steering control. The controller may be configured to receive the signal from the sensor and direct a propulsion system to drive the terrain working vehicle forward, backward, or sit idle.

Abstract: A control system for an electric, terrain-working vehicle having a left drive wheel powered by a left traction motor, a right drive wheel powered by a right traction motor, at least a first implement powered at least by a first implement motor, and a battery supplying power to the left traction motor, the right traction motor and the first implement motor when certain conditions are met. The control system comprises a first implement controller comprising logic to control the battery- supplied power to the first implement motor; a left traction controller comprising logic to control the battery- supplied power to the left traction motor; and a right traction controller comprising logic to control the battery- supplied power to the right traction motor. The first implement controller, the left traction controller and the right traction controller are independent from one another.
