Systems and methods for coupling an implement to a work vehicle

A system, comprising:

• an implement comprising a pair of first openings and a pair of second openings;
• a work vehicle comprising:
• a first lock assembly coupled to an arm of the work vehicle, wherein the first lock assembly comprises a first lock, a second lock, and a first actuator configured to drive the first lock and the second lock laterally to engage the pair of first openings of the implement to form a first connection between the implement and the arm of the work vehicle;
• and
• a second lock assembly coupled to a frame of the work vehicle, wherein the second lock assembly comprises a third lock, a fourth lock, and a second actuator configured to drive the third lock and the fourth lock laterally to engage the pair of second openings formed in the implement to form a second connection between the implement and the frame of the work vehicle.

A method, comprising:

• aligning a first lock and a second lock of a first lock assembly that is coupled to an arm of a work vehicle with respective first openings of an implement;
• actuating a first actuator of the first lock assembly to drive the first lock and the second lock laterally outwardly to engage the respective first openings of the implement to form a first connection between the implement and the arm of the work vehicle;
• aligning a third lock and a fourth lock of a second lock assembly that is coupled to a frame of the work vehicle with respective second openings of the implement;
• and
• actuating a second actuator to drive the third lock and the fourth lock laterally outwardly to engage the respective second openings of the implement to form a second connection between the implement and the frame of the work vehicle.
