PTO Relocation

[johnoski]

Seems I read about a manufacturer which produces a "kit" to relocate or re-position the PTO from rear to front. This design connects off the rear PTO under the tractor to bring power to the front. This would provide a forward facing snowblower in lieu of backing up. Can anyone help to identify this manufacturer?

Some tractors have a mid mount PTO option. You may want to check to see if yours was one. That would be a better solution.

Also remember that a front mount snowblower operates at a PTO higher than 540.

maybe, but If johnoski already has a rear facing snowblower, then its probably rated for 540. Moving it to the front and mount a 3 pt hitch in QA like other TBN have down and find a way to transfer power formrear to the front and connect to the blower, then he solved his back problems. There are some tractors with simply no mid pto so what other options does he have ?

What "it" couldn't you find?

The "it" i couldn't find was the device that redirects the PTO to the front of the tractor.

OK, maybe I was a little misleading...it actually part of the front mount snowblower, I do not think it's available separately. I referred the OP to that because he was asking for a front mount blower powered from the rear PTO.

I see what kenny meant now. Just go to the website he referred to and then click on front blower, then click product details, you will see a picture of rear pto connected to a long shaft going under the tractor to the front. Interesting concept.
