You will need to purchase the mid mount PTO kit that mounts to the sub frame. When I first spoke to the dealer about purchasing a snow blower, he made it sound like it was a lot of work to set up the mid mount PTO kit, but after seeing and reading the install manual, it shouldn't take longer than 1/2 hour to complete. There is nothing difficult in the set up that I can see. I am assuming that most tractor owners have a minimal amount of mechanical ability to complete basic tasks. If anyone is not mechanically inclined, then leaving this task to the dealer would be best.
