Hello, sir. I PM'd you a few days ago, not sure if you're watching for them. I could use your expertise. I have a John Deere 3046r and want the exact set-up you show. Problem is, I use the H165 front end loader frequently, and it appears Boss's undercarriage mounted on the tractor hinders mounting of the loader. A couple of questions, if I may:
1. How difficult would it be to remove/reinstall the undercarriage to mount the loader, say every 3 weeks or so? In the attached schematic, it looks pretty involved - lots of bolts and plates. But, maybe only a few parts of the entire mount need to be removed?
2. If you're knowledgeable with how the loader mounts, do you think the current mount could be modified to work with a loader? Or, can you visualize a fully customized mount by a good fabricator?
I've also attached a photo showing how the loader mounts. It shows a grille protector with braces that will likely have to be removed to install the plow undercarriage, but I don't need it.
PS) any comments on how well this setup worked for you this past winter? Was the tractor heavy enough to handle the plow load?
