Abstract: A zero turning radius vehicle is disclosed that has a steering and drive control mechanism that includes a steering wheel and an accelerator pedal. The mechanism includes push-pull rods to effect movement of throttle levers on motors that independently drive traction elements such as wheels or traction belts. The position of each push-pull rod can be controlled by both the steering wheel and the accelerator pedal such that both the wheel and accelerator pedal can control the throttle of each motor independently or proportionally to thereby effect a change in vehicle speed and/or direction of travel.

Abstract: A lawn trimming device attachable or attached to the power take off end of a line trimmer primary unit to be powered by the line trimmer. The device includes a hood with a downwardly facing opening to allow the opening to be placed parallel to the ground, the hood defining a cutting cavity. A coupling of the hood to the line trimmer primary unit is provided and a shaft is included. A cutting element rotatably mounted relative to the hood from the shaft is provided and wherein the shaft is engageable to the line trimmer primary unit to derive rotational power from the line trimmer primary unit. The cutting element is positioned within the cutting cavity of the hood adjacent the opening. A hovering fan is also preferably included within the hood.
