According to the youtube comments, the owner spent $7500 to fabricate that front mount pto snowblower!

In another video Bill talks about the cost of the gearbox, it was $2200. !!!!!!!

I'd go for any good quality 72"-78" rear mount snow blower.
Although I'm partial to Woods equipment (sold a 72" snow blower a couple months back because I wanted hydraulic chute rotation...and QH compatibility), I'm probably going to go for a Woodmaxx this year.
Considering what a mild winter we've had this year, I expect you'll see a lot of PTO snowblowers on Craigslist.

If your 110 is not a full cab, manual chute rotation will work fine (other than those occasional blasts of snow in your face)...if fully cabbed, hydraulics would be preferable.

I have a open station with a snowblower and I love having hydraulic rotation. Not sure I would be interested in something with manual rotation (having had hydraulic rotation)

True, if you already have rear hydraulic port and a 3rd SCV.
Not sure it would be worthwhile if you don't...also, from what I've seen on Craigslist and new product, manual chute rotation is several hundred dollars cheaper.

That's about what it would take to hang a model 59 on the front of an otherwise naked tractor in a similar size to the 110tlb, so maybe not that far out of line.

Makes me feel good about putting a 7' blower on our L3830 for under $2200 (not counting about a week and a half of my time spread out over a few months).

Get a Lucknow, whatever matches your width. They are simple, minimalistic and work well. I had one (6.5 single auger) and miss it.

Green paint is expensive!
I'm thinking that if someone went to the dealer, bought the mid PTO box, front PTO kit, loader scv valves and kit, front hitch kit, and blower it would probably be over that even. Makes shoveling look more attractive.

Mine was a used blower off of a 65HP New Holland. It uses the rear PTO and runs a driveshaft all the way to the front.
I had to shorten the driveshaft and adapt the mounting brackets on the subframe to fit the smaller L3830.
For a 4" snowfall, it shortened my plowing time (for us and the inlaws) from 2-3 hours and an hour and a half (amazing what going from a 48" loader bucket to a 84" blower will do).
