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: An apparatus comprising a container assembly defined by a plurality of panels coupled to a frame assembly, the plurality of panels comprising at least one releasable panel releasably coupled to the frame assembly, the releasable panel adapted to release and provide separation from the frame assembly and a release assembly coupled to the releasable panel suitable for providing force adequate to release the releasable panel from the frame assembly, the release assembly further comprising a lever and a plurality of bracket members pivotally coupled to a panel of the container assembly. The container assembly and release assembly are suitable for attaching to a portion of a grass cutting device, containing material collecting from the grass cutting device and discharging the material without detachment of the container assembly from the grass cutting device.

Abstract: The invention is a self-propelled drivewheel steering power mower which can be operated in a standing or sitting position, including a pair of variable flow hydrostatic pumps with tiltable swash plates, each of which drives one of a pair of drivewheels. A vertically mounted steering shaft is rotatably supported on the mower for rotation about an axis concentric with said shaft; and a T-shaped steering handle bar is rotatably journaled to the end of said steering shaft for twisting about an axis concentric with said handle bar.
