The actual blower part looks just like mine. The quick connect is unique. I like how the pto shaft automatically engages when you hook it up. Once your quick hitch is installed, what takes you just a few minutes, takes me about 20 minutes (but I have only done it once). I am a little shy on the electronic rotator and deflector, not sure how well that will operate in the cold, and when snow gets packed in every little area. Hope it works well for you, please report back how you like the electronic controls after you have used it for a full season. I still do not think it is available in US. We have had allot of snow this year, and have been very happy with performance. I am operating on black top driveway, and see no need for rear weight ballast or chains. The tractin with 4WD and turfs have been amazing. Enjoy! Philip.
