Abstract: The present invention is directed to an earth leveling and moving apparatus designed to move and level dirt and is compact for getting into tight areas that are needed to be reached for landscaping and other similar purposes. The apparatus includes a handle assembly, a blade assembly, a blade coupled to the blade assembly, a basket, and two wheel assemblies. The handle assembly is connected to the blade assembly which is coupled to the blade. The blade may be removable and may have a straight edge or a ripper edge with teeth for cutting through hard surfaces. The basket is coupled to the handle assembly and to two wheel assemblies. The blade height is determined by adjusting the wheel assemblies and varying the force used on the handle assembly. The basket may have materials for weight in order to aid in applying a downward force to cut or gouge the land and level the land as the user desires. The basket may also be used to move debris and materials around the worksite.

Abstract: A front rotary working machine is provided which has rotary working portions disposed at a front portion of a transmission case, and a front wheel disposed forward of the rotary working portions. The working machine includes a guard member extending forward from the transmission case for guarding an upper side of the rotary working portions. A support device for supporting the front wheel is connected to the front portion of the transmission case. The support device has an upper portion connected to the guard member. A load applied from the front wheel to the support device is distributed to the transmission case and the guard member, resulting in strengthening of the support device.

Abstract: A divot repair device for transporting a mixture of fill material and dispensing the fill material into divots in order to fill and thereby fix the divots by promoting turf growth in the location of the divots, including a hopper for carrying a predetermined mixture of fill material, the hopper having an inlet and an outlet; a wheeled carrier connected to the hopper for transporting the hopper by an individual across an area from one divot location to a second divot location; a dispensing valve connected to the hopper for selectively dispensing the fill material; and a smoother connected to the hopper.

Abstract: A tiller (10) having an engine (24), a plurality of rotating times (20), and a handle (26) which are rotatable with respect to a main frame (12) of the tiller (10) and cooperate with pivoting wheels (14) to facilitate turning of the tiller (10) while maintaining balance and stability.
