I have a 451 that mounts to my 2084. The guys are right when fully lifted it clears the ground from 3 to 5 inches. I have loaded mine on a snowmobile trailer and yes it drags but does float higher than the max lift. Unless you already have front hydro ports the cost of mounting an additional lift cylinder would be very high to just gain a couple of more inches. I even mounted my sons 551 blower last year and got the same amount of lift. I would not recommend loading the tractor and blower on a tilt trailer. I did that but could not back it on and when I pulled it on the weight was still so far back we could not tilt the trailer back down. It would work very well with a lift gate trailer and you can lessen the angle by using 2x8 or bigger on the gate and not fear of one breaking and upsetting the tractor.
