Removable loader for all-terrain and utility-terrain vehicles

A vehicle comprising:

• a vehicle;
• a frame mount rigidly fixed to the vehicle;
• a lift frame comprising an inner lift frame, an outer lift frame, a first pivotal axis, and a second pivotal axis, wherein the inner lift frame has first and second ends, wherein the inner lift frame first end is attached to the frame mount, wherein the outer lift frame has first and second ends, wherein the outer lift frame has a linkage at the outer lift frame first end and an implement mount at the outer lift frame second end, wherein the linkage is pivotally connected between the inner lift frame and the outer lift frame first end, and wherein the implement mount is pivotally connected to the inner lift frame second end;
• a first winch configured to provide a lift force to the lift frame so that the lift frame pivots about the first pivotal axis, wherein only one winch is used to reversibly pivot the lift frame about the first pivotal axis;
• an implement, wherein the implement is mounted to the implement mount and is configured to pivot about the second pivotal axis;
• and
• a second winch mounted on the lift frame, wherein the second winch is configured to provide a force that controllably pivots the implement only about the second pivotal axis, wherein only one winch is used to reversibly pivot the implement about the second pivotal axis.

A multi-use attachment for a vehicle, comprising:

• a lift frame comprising an inner lift frame and an outer lift frame;
• attachment means configured to attach a first end of the lift frame to a vehicle frame;
• a first pivotal means to independently pivot the lift frame about a first pivotal axis, wherein the first pivotal axis is located at a first end of the lift frame;
• a second pivotal means to independently pivot the outer lift frame relative to the inner lift frame about a second pivotal axis;
• tensile means to controllably pivot only the outer lift frame relative to the inner lift frame;
• pulley means to transfer a tensile load of the tensile means to the outer lift frame from the inner lift frame;_and
• means for attaching an implement to a second end of the lift frame.
