Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021079176A1] A lawn care vehicle is provided. The lawn care vehicle includes a frame to which at least a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel of the lawn care vehicle are operably coupled. The lawn care vehicle also includes a cutting deck operably coupled to the frame. The cutting deck includes a cutting blade and a discharge. The lawn care vehicle is configured to operate in a collection mode and a mulching mode based on input received from an operator of the lawn care vehicle. In the collection mode, the cutting blade is configured to rotate in a first direction to cause grass clippings generated by the cutting blade to move toward the discharge. In the mulching mode, the cutting blade is configured to rotate in a second direction to cause the grass clippings generated by the cutting blade to stay within the cutting deck to be further cut by the cutting blade.
