ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an assembly for mounting a plow, such as a snow plow, to a vehicle. The assembly has a linear support member extending from and attached to the front of the vehicle. The linear support member is pivotable with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle and has the plow attached to it at its remote end. The assembly further includes devices connected to the linear support member for offsetting the plow from the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle so that the plow is positioned in front of the tire path of and ahead of the direction of travel of the vehicle. The offsetting devices preferably comprise two pairs of piston-cylinder units. A first pair is mounted at one end to the front of the vehicle and at a second end to the linear support member. The second pair is connected at one end to the plow and at a second end to the linear support member. The assembly further includes a control device for positioning the plow at a desired angular orientation with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
