Abstract
A mower includes a power head, an adjustable frame assembly for use in selectively supporting a first implement, a frame connecting assembly for use in connecting the adjustable frame assembly to the power head, a power connection assembly for use in connecting power from the power head to the first implement, and an implement connection assembly for use in selectively connecting the first implement to the adjustable frame assembly. The adjustable frame assembly can be adjusted and thereby can also selectively support a second implement. The power connection assembly can also be used to connect power from the power head to the second implement and the implement connection assembly can also be used to selectively connect the second implement to the adjustable frame assembly. To exchange a first implement operatively connected to the mower with a second implement includes the steps of disengaging a first quick release pin operatively connecting the first implement to a frame assembly, disconnecting the power connection assembly that connects power from a power head to the first implement, removing the first implement, moving a second implement into place with respect to the frame assembly, engaging the first quick release pin, thereby operatively connecting the second implement to the frame assembly and, connecting the power connection assembly from the power head to the second implement.
