Abstract:
An apparatus, system, and method of securing attachments to a utility vehicle, particularly a stand-on, zero-turn mower. The apparatus includes an A-shaped mounting assembly having a base with first and second ends and a tubular member extending outwardly from the first end. The tubular member defines a bore that receives a shaft extending from the attachment. The mounting assembly is positioned vertically above a mower deck but on an opposite side of the frame of the mower relative thereto. The second end of the mounting assembly and part of the mower deck are secured to the frame using the same connectors. A hydraulic actuator engages a forwardmost end of the assembly and is actuatable to raise or lower the assembly relative to the frame, pivoting the assembly about the connectors. The attachment and mower deck are substantially simultaneously operable to perform separate landscaping tasks while the mower moves across a surface.

Claim (Index 17):
The system as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the mounting assembly comprises:\n a base having a first end and a second end; wherein the base comprises:\n a first plate; \n a second plate; \n a first side wall and a second side wall extending between the first and second plates; wherein the first and second plates and the first and second side walls bound and define a space; \n at least one connector adapted to secure the second end of the base to the frame of the mower in such a way that the base is pivotable relative to the frame; and a tubular member extending outwardly from the first end of the base; said tubular member defining a bore therein that is adapted to receive a shaft from the attachment therein; wherein the tubular member has a first end that is received within the space and a remaining length of the tubular member extends outwardly beyond the first ends of the first and second plates; and wherein the tubular member has a second end remote from the first ends of the first and second plates; and wherein an opening to the bore is defined in the second end of the tubular member.
