</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Seravo.....The hitch can be ordered with a arm welded on it for raising and lowering a front mounted plow or snow blower.
I believe you would have to fabricate the linkage between the arm on the hitch and the front mounted implement.
Jsharp......I had a welding shop give me a quote on the bracket I wanted made for the hitch...they wanted 265.00 to make it.
A guy I work with has a welder and a plasma cutter, I scrounged up the steel for free and my friend made the bracket for free.
Granted, the welding shop would have made a cleaner looking bracket.....but, free is hard to beat /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )</font>
I've got welding equipment. The thing is, if I'm going to that much trouble why not just buy an actuator and make the whole darn thing with real bushings and grease fittings, a wiring harness that reaches, etc.
You're bracket looks good though. Throw some yellow paint on it and no one would know you had it built instead of it being a commercial product.
