    Abstract: A utility vehicle (20) includes a frame (24), a power source (38), and a plurality of steerable structures (40). Ground engaging members (46) are connected to the steerable structures (40). An operator seating area (34) includes a steering control (84) and a speed control (84). Controllers receive input from the steering control and the speed control. Motors drive the ground engaging members (46) at different speeds and in different directions. A controller integrates a steering input with a speed input to effect rotation of the steerable structures (40) and effect rotation of the ground engaging members (46). The steering control, speed control, controllers (86, 88, 90), steerable structures (40), and motors are configured to work together to control the rotational speed of all of the ground engaging members (46) based upon a steering angle input and the lateral side (28, 30) the ground engaging member (46) is connected to. Other examples include braking mechanisms, adjustable track width, and a sealed tubular frame (24, 26).

    Abstract: A lawn maintenance vehicle includes an adjustable seat assembly, wherein the seat assembly is rotatable relative to a frame of the vehicle when the vehicle is operated on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is rotatable in order to maintain the operator in a substantially vertical seated alignment while operating the vehicle on a sloped surface. The seat assembly is also rotatable when the vehicle is in a zero-turn or tight-turn maneuver, wherein the seat is rotated toward the center of turning radius to offset the centrifugal forces experienced by the operator during such a maneuver.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for a lawn maintenance vehicle park brake and traction drive interlock are provided. A park brake mechanism is selectively operable between an engaged position and a disengaged position. A traction drive is also mounted to the lawn maintenance vehicle, the traction drive having a disable mode which prohibits transmission of a driving force from the traction drive to a drive wheel. A first operable connection between the park brake mechanism and a wheel brake activates the wheel brake. A second operable connection between the park brake mechanism and the traction drive activates the disable mode of the traction drive. A method of controlling a lawn maintenance vehicle with a park brake and traction drive interlock include the steps of providing a lawn maintenance vehicle, providing an operable park brake mechanism, providing a first operable connection, and providing a second operable connection.
