2320 front bracket question

[Dale1995]

I purchased a 2320 this summer with a 62D drive over deck. My dealer just installed my Curtis Cab and bought my 47" snowblower, with the front quick hitch, another type of bracket with the drive shaft attached to it and today they delivered me a front support bracket kit. According to the directions this bracket just bolts between the frame with 8 bolts. My question is do I have to take this off each season? The bracket that holds my mower in the front of the machine is right in the way! I can't believe that I have to take the mower bracket off each season. Plus the hood guard seems to also be bolted to this support kit assembly. I must be stupid or missing something. On my other john deere x485 it was a quick job to connect the drive shaft, hook up the front hitch for the snowblower and attach the snowblower. This looks like it a two man job and a lot of work. Maybe some of you out there with this same type of machine can enlighten me. Please tell me it aint so! If anybody has any pictures of this maybe it will clear it up for me.

I had a 2520 with 62D MMM, 200cx, and 54" front blade which uses the front bracket as does your snowblower. My dealer worked with JD and ended up fabing their own bracket due to Deere not having a standard bracket made at that time for all these implements. The new bracket also held the brush guard. I do not have any pics right now but I will try to find some.
