Attaching FEL with Subframe still in place

[yanuch4763]

Has anyone found an easy way to leave the subframe used to mount a front snowblower in place and attach the front end loader. I have a BX24 and like a lot of owners I like to have the FEL available for moving wood etc but would like to avoid having to totally remove everything needed for the snowblower. I would just like to make the switching of FEL and snowblower quicker and easier.

Thanks

How about several pictures of the interfaces and all to help us to visualize what your equipment looks like.

I though the sub-frame hitch could be left on and have the loader on at the same time?

I've thought about doing that before but even if it works, I didn't like the idea of having that sub-frame hitch sitting out front so low to the ground when I'm not on pavement. I just envision that hitting a rock, log, berm, etc and getting damaged.

This what he's talking about, it's the black hitch in front. Not my pic, just one I grabbed.

Were is the interference? I think I tried putting my FEL on when I had the blower quick hitch on last year on my Massey GC1720 and had the same issue, but I can't remember where the interference way.

I think the bucket was hitting the subframe right at the end, so about the only thing you could do it somehow space out the bucket forward. If you don't have a quick attach, maybe adding a tach-n-go would help, I think it pushes the bucket out by ~4 inches.
