Self-propelled snow remover

A self-propelled snow remover comprising:

• a machine body;
• travel units mounted on the machine body to undergo turning movement during a turning operation;
• at least one steering member mounted to the machine body and operable to turn the travel units during a turning operation;
• a snow-removing implement mounted to the machine body to undergo lifting and lowering movements relative to the machine body;
• a lift drive mechanism that lifts and lowers the snow-removing implement;
• and
• control means for controlling the lift drive mechanism to automatically lift the snow-removing implement during a turning operation by the steering member from a first height position to a second height position, and to automatically lower the snow-removing implement to the first height position when the turning operation by the steering member is stopped.

A self-propelled snow remover comprising:

• a machine body;
• at least one travel unit mounted on the machine body for undergoing turning movement during a turning operation;
• at least one steering member mounted to the machine body for performing a turning operation to turn the travel unit;
• a snow-removing implement mounted to the machine body for undergoing lifting, lowering, and rolling movements relative to the machine body;
• a lift drive mechanism for lifting and lowering the snow-removing implement;
• a rolling drive mechanism for rolling the snow-removing implement;
• and
• a microcomputer that (a) executes a first control routine that controls the lift drive mechanism to automatically lift the snow-removing implement from an initial height position thereof when a steering condition in which the steering member performs a turning operation is determined to be satisfied and that controls the lift drive mechanism to automatically lower the snow-removing implement to the initial height position when the steering condition is determined to be no longer satisfied, and (b) executes a second control routine that controls the rolling drive mechanism to roll the snow-removing implement to a preselected rolling position when the steering condition is determined to be no longer satisfied.
