A temporary chamber is formed between the sensing member and the valve body when the valve body is disconnected from the sensing member. The temporary chamber is connected to the second pressure chamber. A second spring urges the sensing member toward the regulator surface. An actuator applies a force to the valve body that is opposite to the force of the first spring and that of the second spring in accordance with commands from an external controller. ed; moving the main frame downward with respect to the first wheel independently of movement of the second wheel; compressing the first spring to a position within the uncompressed and fully compressed range in response to movement of the main frame; exerting a first force from the first spring to the main frame in response to compressing the first spring; compressing the second spring in response to movement of the main frame; exerting a second force from the second spring to the main frame in response to compressing the second spring; and preventing the first spring from being fully compressed by the main frame as a result of the second force from the second spring to the main frame. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the second spring is compressed after partial compression of the first spring. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the second spring is a shock absorber. 12. The method of claim 9, wherein the second spring is an air shock. 13. The method of claim 9, wherein the second spring is an airbag. 14. The method of claim 9, wherein compressing the second spring includes exerting an increasing reactive force against compression responsive to increasing compression of the first spring. 15. The method of claim 9, further comprising limiting compression of the first spring from a bottomed out condition via the second spring. 16. A method of compensating for load change in a lawnmower having independent suspension, the method comprising: providing a main frame having first and second wheels coupled to the main frame by respective independent suspensions, each independent suspension having a spring and a load compensation adjuster; moving the mower across a surface; moving the first wheel upward and downward relative to the main frame; moving the second wheel upward and downward relative to the main frame independently of movement of the first wheel; changing compression of the springs of the independent suspensions in response to movement of the first and second wheels; compressing the load compensation adjuster of each independent suspension in response to upward movement of the first and second wheels with respect to the main frame; and generating forces from the load compensation adjusters to prevent the springs from fully compressing and binding upon movement of the first and second wheels. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the load compensation adjuster is a coil spring. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the load compensation adjuster is a shock absorber. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein the load compensation adjuster is an air shock. 20. The method of claim 16, wherein the load compensation adjuster is an airbag. 21. The method of claim 16, further comprising exerting an increasing reactive force against compression of the load compensation adjusters responsive to increasing compression of the springs. 22. The method of claim 16, wherein the springs have respective ranges of compression, the method further comprising exerting reactive forces by the load compensation adjusters responsive to compression of the springs only in a portion of the ranges of compression of the springs. 23. The method of claim 16, further comprising preventing the springs from bottoming out. 24. The method of claim 16, further comprising a cutter deck positioned below the main frame, wherein the cutter deck moves independently of the main frame. 25. A method of compensating for load change in a lawnmower having independent suspension, the method comprising: providing a main frame having first and second wheels coupled to the main frame by respective independent suspensions, each independent suspension having a first spring and a second spring; moving the mower across a surface; moving the first wheel upward and downward relative to the main frame; moving the second wheel upward and downward relative to the main frame independently of movement of the first wheel; changing compression of the first spring of the fi rst independent suspension in response to movement of the first wheel; compressing the second spring of the first independent suspension in response to movement of the first wheel in an upward direction with respect to the main frame; and limiting compression of the first spring with the second spring to less than full compression upon movement of the first and second wheels in order to prevent binding of the first spring. 26. The method of claim 25, wherein the first and second springs are coil springs. 27. The method of claim 25, wherein the second spring is a shock absorber. 28. The method of claim 25, wherein the second spring is an air shock. 29. The method of claim 25, wherein the second spring is an airbag. 30. The method of claim 25, wherein compressing the second spring includes exerting an increasing reactive force against compression responsive to increasing compression of the first spring of the first independent suspension. 31.
