<p>A bumper assembly (52) for a utility vehicle (20) includes both front bumper structure for protecting the front of the vehicle (20), and skid plate structure to protect lower components of the vehicle (20) from road or terrain hazards, as an integrated part. The bumper assembly (52) includes a protective front structure extending substantially vertically in front of a front end of the vehicle hood, e.g., in front of the radiator of the utility vehicle (20). The bumper assembly (52) also includes a protective bottom structure extending substantially horizontally beneath the chassis (24) of the utility vehicle (20). The bumper assembly (52) includes a front plate (126, 126a) useful for locating attachments to the vehicle. An implement attachment arrangement includes an elongated structure (80) pivotally connected at a rear of a chassis (24) of the utility vehicle (20). The elongated structure (80) is connected at a front end thereof to the bumper assembly (52) via a hydraulic cylinder (180) in order to make vertically adjustable the elevation of the front end of the elongated structure (80). The elongated structure (80) provides an implement mounting bracket (76) or coupling at a front end thereof. An implement (64) having a compatible base (66) is engageable to the implement mounting bracket (76).</p> |
