A mower and cart are attached with a hitch that allows movement of the cart relative to the mower about two axes and constrains movement of the cart relative to the mower about another axis.

A low profile vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes front and rear modules joined to one another by a central truss. The vehicle further includes an operator seat with a bottom cushion having a support surface that is below an axle line of a wheel connected to the front module. The vehicle can include a mower assembly that is carried by the rear module. A steering linkage can be included to change an angle of the front module relative to the central truss and the rear module in a horizontal plane, allowing the vehicle to be steered. A ram acting on a rear pivot assembly can be included to change an angle of the rear module relative to the central truss and the front module in a vertical plane, allowing a height of the mower assembly to be varied.

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 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.

An agricultural implement includes a tool bar assembly configured to couple to a main frame of the agricultural implement and a pull frame. The tool bar assembly includes a first tool with a height that is adjustable relative to a soil surface. The pull frame includes a hitch assembly configured to be coupled to a work vehicle, a mounting portion configured to be removably coupled to the main frame of the agricultural implement, and a hollow portion that extends over the first tool bar between the hitch assembly and the mounting portion while the tool bar assembly and the pull frame are coupled to the main frame. The hollow portion is configured to accommodate one or more conduits.
