Abstract
At least one arm, adapted to connect to a vehicle implement, is pivotally connected to one of front and rear portions of a frame of a motorized vehicle. The at least one arm is pivotable between a first position and a second position vertically higher than the first position. A lock, disposed on at least one of the at least one arm and the frame, locks the at least one arm in the second position. When in the first position, the at least one arm is in a position for connection with the vehicle implement. When in the second position, the at least one arm is in a stowed position. The at least one arm has a shape at least partially generally complementary with a portion of a corresponding one of a front portion and a rear portion of the vehicle. A vehicle implement assembly is also provided.
