Power lawn mower with stand-on and sit-down modes including selectively deployable seat assembly

摘要

A self-propelled power lawn wherein an operator can operate the mower while standing on a foot platform, or alternatively when sitting down on a selectively deployable seat. The operator may operate the mower from a standing position regardless of whether the seat is deployed or not. A shorter control arms extending between a tractor frame structure and a cutter deck assembly having a mower deck lift system raising and lowering the cutter deck assembly together with the engine deck assembly. A portion at the rear of the cutter deck assembly cut out and covered with a plate in order to form a depression over a rear edge of the cutter deck. This depression enables the clutch located over top of the depression (and thus the engine) to be located at a lower elevation so as to lower the overall center of gravity of the mower.
