The snowplow features novel alternate arrangements for operational lifting, stopping and lowering of the snowplow and a quick-hitch/release mechanism for easy plow attachment purposes. Finally, the mounting structure to which the plow is attached and detached is designed so as to be able to fit most small utility vehicles with two fore and aft frame chassis members and a frame mounted metal bumper without need for welding or special custom fit-up.

Abstract: Blade assemblies for use with compacting vehicles are normally designed to push the material in front of the blade and to control the height of the material passing thereunder for compaction by the compacting vehicle. With the blade raised to allow trash and/or soil to pass thereunder, the trash and/or soil passing thereunder may cause detrimental wear to the components under the compacting vehicle between the compacting mechanisms. In the subject arrangement, a blade assembly is provided and includes a blade pivotally connected to a frame. The blade has a working edge that permits, during use, level spreading of trash and/or soil when the blade is in a first operative position. When the blade assembly is raised and the blade is pivoted forwardly with respect to the frame, a first portion of the working edge controls the volume of trash and/or soil allowed to pass under the working edge between respective compacting mechanisms of a compacting vehicle.

Additionally, the top portion of the central juncture is generally positioned lower than outer ends of respective top portions of the blade sections, presenting a winged profile from the front. A divider is positioned along the central juncture from a bottom scraping portion of the blade sections to the top. The divider serves to distribute material being dozed generally equally to either side.

Abstract: The present invention provides a quick hitch for connecting a prime mover to an implement to be used with the prime mover. The prime mover has a male assembly which can be quickly and easily hitched and unhitched to the female assembly of the implement. The male and female assemblies matingly receive one another and a locking mechanism on the female assembly maintains the two assemblies in a locked relationship. The prime mover is driven towards said implement until said male and female assemblies matingly engage one another, thereby engaging the locking mechanism and hitching the implement to the prime mover. To unhitch the male and female assemblies, the locking mechanism is moved to the unlocked position and the prime mover is driven away from the implement.
