Cutting implement and vehicle for lawn-, garden- and yard care

An implement (18) that substantially reduces the likelihood of material being blown out from the underside thereof is provided. To decrease this likelihood, the implement (18) is constructed with a lip (42) that extends outwardly from the front edge of its center chamber. Further provided is an adjustable extension to the lip (42) which may be made part of the implement (18) at the option of the operator. In providing an implement with both the lip (42) and its extension, an operator is permitted to insure against the possibility of vegetation and debris leaving the underside of the deck (18) at the front of the center chamber (28). Consequently, the overall appearance of one's grounds may be greatly enhanced.
