Abstract: A mower deck is provided herein. The mower deck includes a housing having a top plate and a downwardly extending wall that depends from a substantial portion of a perimeter of the top plate. The housing includes an attachment member configured to hingedly couple the housing to equipment such that the housing may rotate through a plurality of positions. First and second blades are disposed within the housing configured to rotate in respective first and second directions. A driving unit is operatively connected to the first and second blades. A flexible transmission is coupled to the power source of the equipment and configured to power the drive unit, wherein the transmission is operable at each of the plurality of positions of the housing.

Abstract: A gardening utility machine having a counter-rotation twin shaft system can perform multiple types of work required for gardening (tilling, soil removal, weeding, raking and shredding of leaves), snow/ice removal and for power de-thatching and mowing of lawn grass. This can be done by exchanging attachments on the counter-rotating twin shafts: if tines are installed on the twin shafts, soil tilling, weeding can be done; if auger blades with or without digging bits are in place instead, the machine can simultaneously till and remove soil or can remove ice/snow, or rake and shred leaves; if the front shaft is installed with a spiked roller and the rear shaft, a shearing reel, then the machine can power de-thatch and mow grass at the same time, and additional grass clipping mulching ability can be performed if a fan blower equipped with a mulching fan blade and a retractable bedknife is in place.

Abstract: A rotor tiller having a counter-rotating twin shaft system and counter-rotating digging means such as tines, paddles, or blades for efficient tilling of soil. In another embodiment, the tines on the twin shafts can be replaced by counter-rotating helical auger blades for removal of loose soil or snow. Furthermore, digging bits of suitable kind and size can be affixed to the helical auger blades for simultaneous digging/tilling and removing of soil, snow. This new design eliminates many problems associated with conventional tillers and increases the utility of the subject tiller.
