Thanks for the feedback folks. I was absolutely going to rely on the float function of the loader. I was already a bit skeptical of this as my loader kicks out of float very easily, so I'd essentially be driving with one hand holding it in float all the time.
I did look at the cost of a diverter vs. a separate DCV. Given I'd want the diverter back near the seat - the hoses and fittings would be the same cost, and there is only a difference of about $20 between the DCV and diverter. I figure I may as well go DCV. Since my loader function already has power beyond built in - it isn't a complicated hookup.
So - underslung with a pivot for the blade and suspended by a chain. Got it. In some ways - that's an easier implementation than hard mounting it as well.
No time today - but I'll re-work the sketchup image and post again once I make the modifications...
