Motorized lute

A motorized lute for leveling a ground surface, the motorized lute comprising:

• a first plate having a first plurality of teeth,
• the first plate further comprising a first plate aperture and a plurality of slots disposed on each side of the first plate aperture, the first plate configured to orientate orthogonally to the ground surface during operation of the motorized lute;
• a first wheel bracket and a second wheel bracket each coupled to the first plate;
• a plurality of wheels coupled to the first wheel bracket and the second wheel bracket;
• a second plate slidably coupled to the first plate, the second plate configured to orientate orthogonally to the ground surface during operation of the motorized lute, the second plate having a second plurality of teeth and an oblong opening overlapping the first plate aperture;
• one or more ball bearings engaged with the plurality of slots of the first plate;
• a motor housing coupled to the first plate and disposed between the first wheel bracket and the second wheel bracket;
• a motor assembly disposed within the motor housing, the motor assembly comprising a driver gear, and an output shaft coupled to the driver gear, wherein the output shaft extends through the first plate aperture and engages with at least a portion of the oblong opening, thereby causing horizontal oscillation of the second plate;
• and
• a lute pole extending from the motor housing, the lute pole including a primary handle and an actuator for controlling the motor assembly.
