Front mount hitch receiver

Anybody have experience with a front mount receiver AND a snow pow frame? My plow is a Fisher Minute Mount which has most of the frame below the bumper and air dam. Looks like there are at least three different types of receivers on the market but I am not clear as to the possible interference with the plow. Also, anybody familiar with mud guards for the back of the truck to prevent a trailer from getting trashed?

Dwights:
Hidden Hitch makes a class 3 front mount for Super Duty that mounts on the front of the frame directly behind the bumper using the same holes. The bumper mounts back on after, looks perfect. This won't interfear with your plow frame at all.

Primarily used for inserting a trailer in a particulaly tight place. Its a lot more manuverable and you can see a lot better. Also can use the hitch for various hitch mounted accessories that you might prefer in front rather than in the rear.
