An apparatus, system, and method of securing attachments to a utility vehicle, particularly to a stand-on, zero-turn mower. The disclosure further relates to a method and apparatus for raising and lowering a mower deck on the mower. A mounting apparatus is provided to selectively engage landscaping attachments to the mower. A deck hanging assembly secures the mower deck to the mower frame. The same connectors secure a part of the deck hanging assembly and a part of the mounting apparatus to the mower frame. An adjustment assembly is operable to move the deck hanging assembly and thereby to raise or lower the mower deck. A hydraulic cylinder is actuated to pivot the mounting apparatus in order to raise or lower the landscaping attachment. The mounting apparatus pivots relative to the mower frame about the same connectors that secure the deck hanging assembly to the frame.
