I posted a similar question awhile back but since we have new member's I will ask it again.
I plan on purchasing a 16hp truck loader this fall and I have been pondering on how to mount this unit for some time now.
Here are some of my options.
1. Mount unit on trailer. This is a nice idea since I can back the trailer in the garage at the end of the day and the loader is not attached to my truck. The downside is I wil be limited in getting the truck/trailer combo in tight area's.
2. Mount to plow frame. Nice because I can nose into piles and I will have greater manuverability. Bad because it will be a hassle to take off the truck when not in use.
3. Swingaway mount on back of truck. Least desirable since I will lose the receiver hitch and therefore I will not be able to tow my trailer. Also it will take 4 guy's to remove it from the truck.
I probably will end up trailer mounting the unit but I would love to hear or see pictures on how others deal with this dilema and what they feel to be the pro's and con's to there set up's.
