The installation on my GTH2548 took one hour. The largest tool required is a 15/16" socket/rachet and combination wrench. It's very well thought out, and it works. The vertical travel at the plow point is 8.5" and the only odd thing is how far aft the long handle goes when the implement is raised all the way. You really have to reach back for the handle to pull it forward and down. It doesn't take too big of a force to pull the handle(raise the implement), but I don't know how hard it's going to be pull it when the plow is in the ground(might have to do the stop/back-up trick.
The first photo show the main plate resting on the floor of the trailer. It just hooks on 2 upper side-pins and is secured by a 5/8" bolt at the original tow hitch hole. The sleeve bar and the vertical link are secured with quick-pins. It's apparent that these 3 pins are removed in order to use the new tow hitch hole. It looks like it'll work just fine. The electric actuator kit should make the whole thing really sweet.
