A landscape maintenance device having a power unit and a variety of possible
dismountable
tools. The device allows for the easy transfer of tools onto and off of the power
unit by hinge arrangement with the power unit forming one side of the hinge and
the tool forming the other side of said hinge. This arrangement allows for an operator
to use the wheeled power unit as a lever to raise the tool into a lockable position
and releaseably affix same to the power unit. Also shown is a novel arrangement
for transferring power between the power unit and the tool unit wherein a drive
sheave associated with one unit and a driven sheave associated with a second unit
are releaseably engageable by a belt so retained that the belt is positioned when
the units are apart to receive a sheave when the units are connected.
