Abstract: A V-blade plow has adjustable first and second blades, each with an inner end that is rotatably connected to a pivot frame. The plow is provided with a cutting edge arrangement comprising first and second edge segments and a center edge segment there between. The first edge segment is removably attached to the first plow blade and projects downward below the bottom edge of the first plow blade. The second edge segment is removably attached to the second plow blade projecting below the bottom edge of the second plow blade. The center edge segment is mounted beneath the pivot frame and is attached to the first and second plow blades to prevent the material being plowed from passing beneath the pivot frame between the blades.

Abstract: A spreader is provided with a lift mechanism to facilitate attachment to and detachment from a work vehicle. A hitch is permanently mounted on the work vehicle and has a pair of slots. A hopper is provided to hold the material being distributed by the spreader. The lift mechanism has a first member that is attached to the hopper, and a second member that has a pair of latch pins that are releasably received in the pair of slots. A linear actuator produces movement between the first and second members and thus between the hopper and the hitch when the latch pins are in the slots.
