Both above posts are good value.......I didn't think about combining the shovel with the hi-lift...not a bad idea. (bugger - just bought some steel to make a mount, lol)......although I can see a design forming in my head...cool.
I did think about things bolted on the hood (would never mount a Hi-lift there for that reason), and I'm happier with the shovel being moved to the rear for this reason, among others.
