  • Publication number: 20260025018
    Abstract: A lawn mower includes a drive wheel, a mowing deck including a cutting blade, a wheel motor operable to rotate the drive wheel, a cutting blade motor operable to rotate the cutting blade, and a battery system. The battery system includes a battery configured to power the wheel motor and the cutting blade motor and a battery controller communicably coupled to the battery. The battery controller includes one or more processors and memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to determine an electric current threshold for the battery, broadcast a message comprising the electric current threshold, compare an actual electric current of the battery to the electric current threshold, and adjust an operation of the battery system in response in response to determining that the actual electric current of the battery exceeds the electric current threshold for a predetermined amount of time.

  • Patent number: 9334612
    Abstract: A control lever assembly and methods of forming and using a control lever assembly of a compaction roller are disclosed. A control lever assembly includes a lever that is defined by a body having a first end connectable to a control arm of a compaction roller. The body forms a first grip site and a second grip site that are each offset from the first end of the body. The first grip site and the second grip site are laterally offset from a longitudinal center-line axis of the control arm and spaced from one another so that each of the first grip site and the second grip site are beyond the reach of a hand engaged with the other of the first grip site and the second grip site.
