Abstract: A vehicle implement adapter for attachment to conventional vehicles and for allowing the attachment to the vehicle of various implement such as shovels, jaws or the like. The vehicle implement adapter includes a frame configured so as to be attachable to the vehicle. A main arm is pivotally attached to the frame. An implement such as a shovel, a pivotal jaw or the like is pivotally mounted at the distal end of the main arm. A cable is attached to the implement. The cable is re-directed by a set of pulleys and mechanically coupled to a winch-type mechanism mounted on the frame. A releasable locking mechanism is attached to the main arm. By selectively allowing and preventing pivotal movement of the main arm through the use of the arm locking mechanism, the cable can be used to lift and/or tilt the implement.
