Nope, your stuck with OEM stuff for the front (barring options listed above) but $1900 for a front snowblower is NOT a bad price...

No, the subframe/mount is $1900, the total is $5800, blower, mount and all accessories. I prefer using the mid-pto for front mount applications, but for that price, I think I will stick with the rear blower for now.

An Erskine was even MORE expensive. I may do what others have suggested, but the subframe assembly now, and keep my eyes peeled for a blower later on.

Woods used to make a pto angle linkage set that sent the rear pto forward for a mid mount mower.. could modify that for full front..

What about a hydraulically driven Skidsteer blower and tapping into your tractor hydraulics?

I have no idea if your 3510 has enough flow rate but thought I would toss that idea out there. Maybe a PTO pump and some long hoses?

This is just one other option you might consider, but that is if you ;have the hydraulic GPM's. A hydraulic motor up front to drive the snow blower.

Bervac also made a similar underslung reverser. Was 'chain & sprocked' drive affair and the setup was kinda like hanging a ladder under the tractor with a supported driveshaft.
Both front and rear used standard PTO type shafts.

Still have the one that came with my blower that I reverted to std rear as I prefered to retain my loader capabilities and not do the 'seasonal switchover' twice a year.

The bervac unit was 'adaptable' to many standard rear blowers with advantage being the std 550 RPM.
