Bummer, thought I was onto something.

What about where the lift rod connects to the rockshaft? Any way to add a hole further from the pivot to increase travel? Some sort of custom bolt on bracket. I still think its easier to modify the existing mechanical linkage for more travel than to go to the hassle of installing/plumbing an extra hyd cylinder up front.

Another option would be to install an ATV winch up front and use it for lifting the snowblower. This would also free up the tractor lift to operate a rear blade independently.
