<font color="blue"> How much of the frame mount comes off when you remove the hoe? </font>
Almost all of it. The only thing that is left on is a bracket up towards the front of the tractor (just back of the front axle, attached to the frame).
I've got one and I love it. Works great, I think the subframe is important for our smaller tractors, and I haven't had any problems with the subframe stuff hanging me up. (I have hilly, bumpy terrain, too.)
I believe you will be most pleased... /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
