The present invention comprises a working implement, such as a snowplow, that can be attached to a vehicle. The assembly contains its own power source, and is controlled remotely, such as wirelessly. This combination allows the operator of the vehicle to lift and lower the jack on the unattached working implement as required without exiting the vehicle. In one embodiment, the system further includes wireless remote control operation of the headlights and blinkers, thereby eliminating another physical connection that typically exists between the vehicle and the working implement. The wireless remote control operation of the jack enables proper positioning of the lift frame relative to the vehicle chassis for easy mounting and dismounting thereto. In certain embodiments, the engagement of the assembly's connection mechanism with the vehicle, such as with a receiver on the vehicle, creates an electrical connection that enables communication between the assembly and controls for the assembly.
A mounting assembly for attachment and detachment from a vehicle, comprising a hitch member and a frame, said hitch member being pivotably coupled to said frame for relative movement with respect to said frame;
A method of mounting a working implement assembly to a vehicle using wireless signals from a wireless transmitter, comprising providing an assembly receiver on said vehicle;
An assembly suitable for mounting to a vehicle, comprising:
A method of attaching an implement assembly to a vehicle, said assembly having means for raising and lowering said assembly and means for attaching said assembly to said vehicle, comprising:
A system for providing electrical power to an assembly connected to a vehicle via a mounting rod comprising:
