Kuboto and crick'ed neck

When to look at a used Kubota B series tractor the other day. Guy advertises it with a front bucket, 60" mower, and snow-blower attachments. Snow blower is what turned me on. Turns out it has no front pto and the blower is mounted on the rear! He says "Everyone does it that way". It's a good deal, but am I on crack thinking he's on crack? I'm not picturing clearing my 300' driveway in reverse as fun.

A buddy bought a new rear mount blower for his B a few years back, dumped it after the first season. Besides the pain in the neck he said a walk behind was faster.
My B has a front pto, might not be much of an addition dollarwise, seems simple, but there also needs to be a front three point.
I just plow my snow.

Around here all the farmers use rear 3 point mounted snow blowers on there feild tractors. I grew up driving around in revers blowing snow on my dads acerage. He has a 8 foot wide and 4 foot tall blower that we cleaned the yard with. On ocasion if the maintainer had not been around yet or the wind was blowing the roads back shut real fast him and the neighbor would blow the road open down to the blacktop 1 mile away and that would only take maby a half hour. I would think if the kabota has a desent size blower it would not take very long and you probobly wont mind it on the back.
