It looks like a Pronovost PXPL with a custom extendable drag. Kinda neat. Pxpl are somehat common in the snow areas with the driveway guys. His drag would certainly save time. Sit down if you go and price out a PXPL though, they arent cheap.
Looks like the one!!! I live 50 miles from Canada and the exchange is in my favor LOL....

Neat idea with the extendable blade. You'd either need 4 pair of hyd connections to run that thing which is not uncommon on a Bi-directional NH but most only have 2 or 3 pair so you would need a diverter valve. It would be pretty tough though to be perfectly centered each time you pull into a driveway. Rarely do they have a curb running down the length of them. I think for the 'average' driver it would be too complicated and do more damage than good
We've got a few of the Artix brand bi-directional blowers in our fleet which is pretty much identical to the PXPL. I'll be running one of them for the next month on the back of a Case 120 Maximum rather than my usual inverted Normand. It will be interesting to see the differences.

The inverted blower with added rear blade can do the same close to the garage door cleaning without the high cost.
Mine is made by Smyth Welding in Canada so if you are a Canadian there is no concern with the low exchange rate.
My rear blade is my own handiwork and is much heavier than the one Smyth Welding offers. I built it strong to act like a box blade on my gravel driveway and also for spreading topsoil.
Having down pressure on the blade means you can put most of the blower’s weight on the rear blade edge for scrapping hard snow.
People like CDN Farm Boy, who will have experience with both styles, will have interesting things to comment. If you are running a business removing snow time is very important. If you are doing your own lane and a couple of friend's and family's drives cost is important as time is free.

it would be nice to have a tractor with a steering wheel and controls in the rear too. Lots less sore necks/backs.
What is the tractor?

The yellow one? Its a "Versatile". Well actually is a TV Bi-Directional. Its a new holland Agricultural-Tractors New Holland TV6070-Bidirectional-Tractor - Models, technical data and characteristics
Other companies make tractors with bidirectional options, Fendt and Valtra (Agcos) come to mind

The NH or Versatile bi-directional aren't by any stretch new to me but those Fendt and Valtra are NIICCEEEE! I've never seen the rotating platform on a conventional frame tractor.
Dave, What's with the chains on your old Oliver? One set wasn't enough?
