Abstract: Adapter for mounting on a work machine comprising an attachment for individually attaching one or more working implements to the work machine and allowing lateral rotation or tilting of the working implement, thereby raising one lateral end of the implement while simultaneously lowering the opposite lateral end. The adapter can be permanently mounted to the work machine (and remains dormant when not in use), or can be removably mounted thereto.

Abstract: The present invention provides an apparatus and method for allowing the use of a common lift assembly with both trip edge snow plow blades and full moldboard trip snow plow blades. A bracket is interposed between a lift assembly, which is adapted to attach directly to a trip edge blade, and a full moldboard trip blade. This bracket is pivotally attached to the lift assembly, so as to allow it to pivot about a vertical axis. It is also pivotally attached to the full moldboard trip blade so as to allow the blade to pivot about a horizontal axis. This allows a single lift assembly to be used in conjunction with both trip edge blades and full moldboard trip blades.

Abstract: Hitch mount assembly for snow blades or other accessories or implements for pick-up trucks or off-road vehicles such as utility task vehicles. The assembly includes a receiver for mounting to the vehicle chassis and an implement assembly readily removably coupled to the receiver. The configuration of the receiver and implement assembly allows for selfalignment during the mounting operation. One or more over center latches draw the receiver and mounting assembly together.

Abstract: The present invention provides a small electrical motor, coupled to the snow plow of a UTV or ATV via a mechanism which allows the plow blade to move in response to unexpected spikes in load. In one embodiment, a braking system is used to absorb the load force. In a second embodiment, a set of pulleys is used in conjunction with a belt, such that the belt will slip in the presence of excessive force. In a third embodiment, a rack and pinion mechanism is used in combination with a spring element to absorb the excessive load.

Abstract: Jack for raising and lowering a working implement such as hydraulically driven snow blades or other utilitarian accessories. Actuation of the jack allows for proper vertical alignment of the lift assembly for engagement to a vehicle chassis. Once engaged, the jack can be actuated into an inoperative position until the lift assembly is to be removed from the chassis.
