ive seen a few that utilize the rear hitch as the major push point, then are just stablized some how else under the machine to prevent side to side movement. seen a lot that mount near the pegs on older machines..

just look at different types of tube styles and try "african engineer" your own. the key is to have a spring loaded blade. i learned this with my plow the hard way.. well you hit something solid (ie a rock) something has to give and if its not the springs it will be the mounting hardware.
