  • Publication number: 20240415061
    Abstract: A riding lawn care vehicle (10) may include a frame (60, 130) to which wheels (31, 32) of the riding lawn care vehicle (10) may be attachable, a seat (20, 110, 310) which an operator of the riding lawn care vehicle (10) may utilize when operating the riding lawn care vehicle (10), a seat mounting structure (120, 320) to which the seat (20, 110, 310) may be mounted, an isolation assembly (140, 340) which may provide vibration isolation between the frame (60, 130) and the seat mounting structure (120, 320), and a hinge assembly (150, 350) which may enable the seat (20, 110, 310) to pivot via the seat mounting structure (120, 320). The isolation assembly (140, 340) may include a motion ratio adjustment assembly (160, 360) which may define a motion ratio of the isolation assembly (140, 340) independent of an amount of pre-loaded compression.
