Skid-steer type power unit engageable with an implement using an attachment assembly including an attachment frame and a hitch. An arcuate frame member is located forwardly of the attachment frame and is engaged therewith in such a way that the frame member pivots about a vertical axis located forwardly of the frame member and generally centrally positioned relative to the attachment frame. The frame member pivots in response to actuation of a hydraulic cylinder. The power unit includes a system for transferring weight of the implement rearwardly onto the power unit. A belt-drive power-take off system on the power unit powers the implement's operation. An underbelly drop spreader is located between the front and rear wheels of the power unit and a brine delivery system distributes brine from nozzles located rearwardly of the rear wheels. A unique control panel permits operation of all systems on the power unit and implement.

A vehicle including a coupling device having a male coupler with a release pin and a female coupler having a female housing with a recess for removably connecting the male coupler. The coupling device further includes a mechanical ejector moveably connected to the female housing and configured for depressing the release pin for ejecting the male coupler from the female housing.

An attachment holder for construction equipment includes a movable-side pin guidance surface that guides a movable-side coupling pin to a movable-side pin accommodation portion. The attachment holder also includes an excessive closure prevention portion that prevents a movable-side jaw from closing excessively with respect to a stationary-side jaw to enable the movable-side coupling pin to come into contact with a movable-side pin guidance surface, whether the movable-side coupling pin of an attachment for construction equipment that has a minimum pin-to-pin spacing or a maximum pin-to-pin spacing, in a case in which the movable-side coupling pin is to be accommodated in the movable-side pin accommodation portion by operating, for example, an arm of the construction machine so as to move the movable-side jaw closer to the movable-side coupling pin after the stationary-side coupling pin is accommodated in the stationary-side pin accommodation portion.

A coupler for a wheel loader is disclosed. The coupler is used for coupling an attachment to a lifting arm of the wheel loader. A bracket is installed between the lifting arm and the attachment. The bracket's back face is pivotally connected to a lifting arm and the bracket's front face is detachably connected to the attachment. The attachment has a pair of protrusions rearwardly extending from the lower back of the attachment and have locking holes pierced through their width. The bracket has a pair of receiving slots formed at the lower front of the bracket and engaged with the protrusions. The coupler has a shaft, and a pair of locking pins combined with the shaft by threads. The threads formed at one end of the shaft are right handed and the threads formed at the other end of the shaft are left handed. When users turn the shaft in one direction, the locking pins are extended and engaged with the locking holes (a coupling position). When users turn the shaft in the other direction, the locking pins are shortened and released from the locking holes (a release position).

A loader attachment system is configured so as to detachably attach a loader to a vehicle by detachably attaching a mast of the loader to a loader mount fixed on the vehicle. The loader attachment system includes a support device, a location device, and an engagement device. The support device is configured to support the mast on the loader mount so that the mast is rotatable relative to the loader mount. The location device is configured to locate the mast supported on the loader mount by the support device at an attachment position. The engagement device is configured to engage the mast at the attachment position with the loader mount so as to prevent the mast from rotating in a direction to detach the mast from the loader mount. The support device, the location device and the engagement device are configured independent of one another.

An excavator tool attaching mechanism includes a housing having a pair of housing walls; a fixed engagement member for engaging with a first coupling pin of an excavator tool; a moveable engagement mechanism for engaging with a second coupling pin of the excavator tool; and a safety mechanism moveable between a locked and an unlocked configuration. The moveable engagement mechanism includes an engaging element moveable between a first position for releasing the excavator tool and a second position for engagement with the second coupling pin. The safety mechanism is automatically moved from the unlocked to the locked configuration by movement of the engaging element from the first to the second position, preventing movement of the engaging element between the second and first position. The engaging element is moveable to the second position when the moveable engagement mechanism engages with the second coupling pin.

A front loader includes a working tool and an attachment body to which the working tool is attached, including a lock pin configured to attach and fix the working tool, a lock lever configured to move the lock pin between a releasing position and an attaching position, and a latching portion having a retaining mechanism configured to retain the lock lever at the releasing position and another mechanism configured to move the lock lever to the attaching position.
