Abstract: The improvement of the present invention comprises an elongated scraper which has a scraper surface that is disposed along substantially the entire length of the most rearwardly disposed roller supporting the mower structure. Such elongated scraper is disposed for stripping accumulated grass and debris from the most rearwardly disposed roller surface as such rearward roller rotates rearwardly during a mowing operation. In preferred embodiments, the elongated scraper is supported by respective pivot arms which are pivotedly carried upon the scraper support frame and are urged downwardly by means of a coil spring, in order to dispose the scraper surface into a stripping proximity vis-a-vis the rear surface of the rearwardly disposed roller, to remove accumulated grass debris therefrom, and thereby control the depth of cut of the grass comprising the green surface.

Abstract: The improved stand assembly of the present invention includes an upper end bracket for attachment to a core harvester apparatus proximate the elevated turf core discharge end thereof. At least one upper support arm for removable attachment to the upper end bracket when in a first or operative position is provided to support substantially the full weight of the turf core harvester apparatus when disposed into a second or inoperative position. At least one lower end support arm is further provided for removable engagement of the lower end of the core harvester apparatus when in the first or operative position and to support substantially the full weight of the lawn core harvester apparatus when disposed into the second or inoperative position. A frame is further provided to connect the upper support arm to the lower end support arm.
