PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a riding lawn mower that is capable of mowing lawn at the uniform reaping height even if there is variation of a reaping load.SOLUTION: A riding lawn mower is provided for sending the lawn being mown by a mower 1 provided with a vehicle body frame 12 traveling with front wheels 18, 18 and rear wheels 21, 21 into a collector 3 using the blowing air of a blower 2. In the riding lawn mower, there are provided a mower drive motor MM for driving the mower 1, a mower load sensor MS for detecting a drive load of the mower drive motor MM, and a drive control device H for controlling the rotation of the blower drive motor BM for driving the blower 2. The rotation of the blower drive motor BM controls acceleration/deceleration according to the load detected by the mower load sensor MS.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】乗用芝刈機で刈取負荷の変動が有っても均一な刈高さで芝生を刈り取ることが出来るようにすることを課題とする。【解決手段】前輪18,18と後輪21,21で走行する車体フレーム12に設けたモア1で刈り取った芝生をブロワ2の送風でコレクタ3に送り込む乗用芝刈機において、モア1を駆動するモア駆動モータMMと該モア駆動モータMMの駆動負荷を検出するモア負荷センサMSとブロワ2を駆動するブロア駆動モータBMの回転を制御する駆動制御装置Hを設け、モア負荷センサMSの検出する負荷に応じてブロア駆動モータBMの回転を増減速制御する乗用芝刈機とする。【選択図】図7
