Abstract
The present invention relates to a lawn mower (1), comprising a chassis (7), a front mounted mower deck (5), and at least one support arm (9) connecting the mower deck (5) with the chassis (7). The support arm (9) is movable with respect to the chassis (7) for lifting the mower deck (5) from a lower position to an upper position. In the upper position, the mower deck (5) is tiltable about a horizontal pivot axis (11) with respect to the support arm (9) without interfering with the ground. The lawn mower is characterised in that the centre of gravity (21) of the mower deck (5) is located in front of the pivot axis (11), with respect to the forward direction of the lawn mower (1), when the mower deck (5) is lifted to the upper position.
