Abstract: A mower system that includes a stand-on rider platform system that includes a folding rider platform pivotally coupled to the mower frame and a folding rider platform suspension system that includes a resilient member adapted to be compressed between the folding rider platform and a member of the mower system.

Abstract: Provided in some embodiments is a riding mower arm rest system that includes an armrest clamp adapted to couple to a control handle of a zero-turn radius (ZTR) riding mower, a first armrest member rotatably coupled to the armrest clamp (where the first armrest member is adapted to rotate about a first rotational axis oriented transverse to a longitudinal axis of the control handle), a second armrest member rotatably coupled to the first armrest member (where the second rotatable armrest member is adapted to rotate about a second rotational axis oriented transverse to the first rotational axis), and an armrest coupled to the second armrest member.

Abstract: Provided are embodiments of a hitch lift system including an elongated receiver member configured to engage a complementary opening of a receiver hitch of a vehicle, and a lift system that includes a lifting shaft adapted that extends and retracts vertically, and a lifting system to regulate the vertical extension and retraction of the lifting shaft.

Abstract: A mower system that includes a stand-on rider platform system that includes a folding rider platform pivotally coupled to the mower frame and a folding rider platform suspension system that includes a resilient member adapted to engage with the folding rider platform while the folding rider platform is in a folded-down position. The stand-on rider platform system can also include a rider presence sensor adapted to engage with the folding rider platform while the folding rider platform is in the folded-down position.

Abstract: Provided is a mower system that includes an idler pulley, a deck drive pulley coupled to a drive shaft of a mower motor and an intermediate pulley coupled to the mower frame such that a position of the intermediate pulley is fixed relative to a position of the deck drive pulley and the intermediate pulley is positioned to be engaged by a portion of the deck drive belt spanning between the deck drive pulley and the idler pulley.
