Abstract
An implement support assembly includes an implement interface having an interface support frame pivotably coupled to a vehicle frame, the interface support frame including an interface support arm and a float feature, and a hydraulic cylinder configured to move the interface support frame relative to the vehicle frame, the float feature being positioned between the interface support frame and the hydraulic cylinder. The float feature is configured to permit the implement to move independently from the hydraulic cylinder in response to ground undulations. The float feature includes a link having a first end coupled to the interface support arm, a second end coupled to the hydraulic cylinder, and a protrusion positioned between the first and second ends, the interface support arm includes an interface slot, and the protrusion is slidably received within the interface slot to provide lost motion between the link and the interface support arm.
