Snowblower BX2660 Snowblower Hydraulics

[Usta]

I see Kubota offers a 51" two stage rear mount snowblower with an optional hyd chute rotator. I would prefer a front mount blower but I like the idea of having both the FEL and blower. How is the hyd rotator configured and controlled? Is it a useful option over a manual rotator? I currently do not have any rear hydraulic lines installed. Does the chute rotator have its own lever or does it connect somehow to the FEL lever? I could talk to my Kubota dealer but I figured (since they are closed this weekend) I would ask here.

There is a reasonably priced kit from Kubota to install rear outlets. I think I paid around $300 or so after sales tax and shipping about a month ago. Just installed it the day after Christmas. It wasn't too difficult, but you do need a set of crows foot wrenches. Haven't hooked anything to it yet but plan on a hydraulic top link and then be able to use the second set for a hydraulic cylinder on my RB.
