Has anyone mounted a two stage snow blowers for lawn tractors or their ZTR or WB?

I was thinking if it would be possible to mount a 44 - 48 " two stage snow blower intended for a lawn tractor to a ztr or wb? I figure the zero-turn capabilities would make it very maneuverable and Most of the lawn tractor versions i've seen are belt driven. So you could Just bipass the deck with a longer belt or remove the deck altother.

Thoughts? Pics?

Walker and Grasshopper utilize snowblowers (their brand) as an attachment up front.

I rigged one up to my ASV RC30, it wasn't a big deal, because there was a hydraulic output line up front, anyway. Hydraulic motor power is easier, because you don't have to plumb a drive line. Another thought, if you go ahead and try it, make sure you rig a cab for it, somehow, or you'll be wearing a lot of snow!

RAD Tech made them for walkbehinds and ZTR's(Toro/Exmark and Bobcat were listed). They are a canadian company and seems like those products arent on their website anymore.

Although I think some are still available through toro for their machines.
