My FIL has run a Farm king blower at least that wide on his YM 2310 for years
the 2310 has 22.7 engine HP probably very similar PTO power.
Wish I could remember how wide the blower is , I know it is at least as wide as his tractor width with AG R1's on the rear

Your close enough to Whites Farm Supply that you could pick up a 48-60 inch Pronovost Puma from Art White.
The 48 inch Puma will work well with your tractors PTO horsepower.

My 3 pt. blower is exactly 54” wide, and I bought it from Kubota for my Kubota BX 25. The tractor was 48 inches wide, and I put two, 2 inch spacers, which makes the rear wheels now 52 inches wide. I added wings as drift cutters, which make the blower stick out another three or 4 inches.
This rear blower is a very sturdy and powerful blower, and my BX 25 only has 17.5 PTO horsepower. But I would caution you to pack down the snow at the beginning of the season a little bit wider than you need, so that the wheels don’t fall off of your packed snow into the soft stuff that has not been driven on. What I mean is, for the first few snowfalls of the year, when you just drive over the snow to pack it down and get a good base, make sure that base is wider than the width that you plan on blowing.

I have a Farm King 600 which is 60" wide. I have run this on my old 4110 which is only 17hp at the pto. It would bog it down a bit in wet heavy snow but never really had any trouble with it. I just traded in my 4110 for a 2038R so I'm sure it will run great with the 2038R compared to the 4110.

If you don't have drifts to deal with over 2' tall, a smaller pull type blower would work well. And driving forward you would more than likely not be doused with a roostertail over your neck if you got ROPS?

If your mule has creeper gears for reverse, you will not be disappointed
in either one as they are high quality machines.
Just remember that you should take half cuts in deep heavy snow pack
after the first pass as the machine will be able to run at the PTO engine
speed without bogging down.
If you use fluid film on the impeller paddles and the chute you will double
your casting distance.
