Hi all,

Just woke up to 3-4" of the white stuff on the ground. I used the loader to plow the driveway, and though it works fine (float works even better than on my old 425) it's nothing like the snowthrower. Anyway, I like to use my loader (it's the best wheelbarrow you can get!) so I wondered if I could have the intermediate hitch and driveshaft the 2210 uses on so that all I would have to do to change between the loader and blower is: remove loader, put on quick-hitch, connect hoses, and drive into the blower. So I tried to put the intermediate hitch on while the loader is on, and found that the two feet that make up the loader stand are in the way. What I'm wondering is, if anyone has crossed this bridge, and if so, did they cut some of the stand material away to clear?
I've circled the area's in red, but couldn't figure how to make the lines heavier:

What I think would work, is if I cut out the feet on both sides so that the hitch would raise up until the holes in pic 2 lined up.

What do you think?
