An actuator for raising and lowering a blade mounted to a vehicle. A winch assembly is mounted to the blade and is powered by the vehicle battery. The motor has a low amperage draw and has a gear reduction unit to provide mechanical advantage. The cable extending from the winch is arranged to have a double pull to provide an additional mechanical advantage.

1. A vehicle including a working implement comprising:a driver-only vehicle designed for travel on walkways and paths typically designated for pedestrian and bicycle use and not for use by a standard passenger vehicle that is many times greater than said passenger-only vehicle in size and weight, said driver-only vehicle including a battery and a battery recharging system having low amperage storage and low amperage recharging capability not suitable for powering winches provided as an accessory for said standard passenger vehicle, said standard passenger vehicle having many times greater battery storage capability and battery recharging capability, said driver-only vehicle characterized as an all terrain vehicle; a winch mounted to said all terrain vehicle, said winch including a drum, a cable mounted an the drum and a motor, said motor operable at an amperage draw compatible with the amperage storage capability and amperage output capability of said battery and recharging system of said all terrain vehicle; and a working implement having a movable component operable by said winch of said all terrain vehicle for performing a working task, said movable component operable by said winch for performing said working task and generating an amperage draw from said battery that does not exceed the recharging capability of said all terrain vehicle recharging system, which accordingly allows repeated and lengthy operation of the winch without depleting the storage capacity of the battery.
