Abstract: A multi-use attachment device that is easily attached to and removed from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) or a utility-terrain vehicle (UTV) comprises a lift frame including an inner lift frame, an outer lift frame, a first pivotal axis and a second pivotal axis, and is configured to pivot about the first pivotal axis with a first electrical device, and has a second electrical device mounted on the lift frame to pivot the outer lift frame with respect to the inner lift frame. One end of the multi-use attachment is attached to the ATV/UTV, and the other end is attached to an implement such as a loader bucket, a pallet fork, or a plow blade. Some embodiments of the multi-use attachment use tension devices both for pivoting the lift frame about the first pivotal axis and for pivoting the outer lift frame with respect to the inner lift frame about the second pivotal axis.

Abstract: A loader bucket orientation indicating system is provided for a bucket pivotal at an end of a loader boom. The system includes a support member having a base fixed to a side of an arm of the boom and a shaft projecting from the base. A pivot plate includes a central hub rotatably mounted on the shaft and an arm projecting outwardly from the central hub. An outer end of the arm forming a visible bucket position indicator. A linkage couples the bucket to the pivot plate so that the pivot plate rotates clockwise and counter-clockwise as the bucket rotates clockwise and counter-clockwise, respectively, with respect to the boom. A rotary device has a base fixed with respect to the boom arm, and has a rotary member coupled to the base by a non-rigid coupling. The rotary member has a visible mark thereon. The position of the bucket position indicator relative to the mark provides an indication of bucket orientation.
