Patent ID: 8839598

Claim:
A lawn mowing vehicle having first and second reel units disposed at positions that are different from each other in a frontward/rearward direction thereof with respect to a traveling direction, the lawn mowing vehicle comprising: a first elevating mechanism that elevates the first reel unit using an electric actuator; a second elevating mechanism that elevates the second reel unit using an electric actuator; a speed detection unit that detects a traveling speed of the vehicle; and a control unit configured to control the first and second elevating mechanisms such that an elevating position of the first reel unit is separated by a calculated travel distance of the vehicle from an elevating position of the second reel unit, the calculated travel distance being calculated based on the traveling speed detected by the speed detection unit, whereby the control unit is configured to change a time from when the first reel unit begins to be elevated to when the second reel unit begins to be elevated depending on the traveling speed detected by the speed detection unit, wherein the first and second reel units are electric reel units, each of which has a rotating blade driven by a motor and is configured so that a rotational shaft of the rotating blade is set in the leftward/rightward direction that intersects the traveling direction of the vehicle.
