Claim:
A Zero-Turn Radius vehicle, comprising: a frame; at least first and second ground engaging wheels rotatably connected with respect to the frame; at least first and second locomotive drives operatively connected to the first and second ground engaging wheels respectively, the first locomotive drive having a first drive control member, the second locomotive drive having a second drive control member; a steering wheel selectively rotatably connected with respect to the frame, the steering wheel being operatively rotatable in first and second steering directions; steering control means for use in providing steering input, the steering control means being operatively mechanically communicated with the first and second drive control members; a speed control member operatively rotatably connected with respect to the frame, the speed control member being rotatable in first and second directions, wherein the speed control member is operatively mechanically communicated with the first and second drive control members; and, wherein when the vehicle is driven in a first direction and steered in a first direction, the first ground engaging wheel is rotated at a greater magnitude than the second ground engaging wheel with respect to the first direction of travel, and, wherein when the vehicle is driven in a second direction and steered in the first direction, the first ground engaging wheel is rotated at a greater magnitude than second ground engaging wheel with respect to the second direction of travel.
