Wheel Horse and others have had the out front deck mount options. For anyone who has used one do you have trouble turning? I have the front half of a Commercial Snapper SPA 520 52” walk behind and the mounting from a Toro 79365 single stage snowblower attachment for my 522xi.

My only issue with turning was due to the homemade striping roller:

I took some measurements and the idler pullies for the 79365 snowblower attachment are 6” off the ground and the pullies for the Snapper deck are 9” off the ground. It would be easier to adapt a Toro 117, 118 or 120 Groundsmaster 52” deck as a front mount since it has a right angle gearbox. Last fall I saw on Craigslist a non running 120 Groundsmaster with 52” deck for $100 but I didn’t jump for it.

I've had a few. The only ones I liked was on a zero turn mower.
