I saw one on a Kioti, powered by the rear PTO through a gear box that changed direction to forward to a shaft that ran the length of the tractor. Appeared to require some work to mount/detach the blower. Forgot how the blower was controlled (raised/lowered, chute moved, etc). ....

Peanie,
One thing about front hydraulic snow blowers: there is a BIG difference between pto driven, independent and self contained vs. using the tractors hydraulic system.

A big drawback to these units is the price. ....
