RE: (ET) Tiller information needed

Here a couple of quick answers:

I don't have a snowblower and I'd guess its a bit smaller, but it's
HEAVY ... two men have plenty to do loading it.

Yes, my tractor is wired for a rear PTO with a andersen style
connector - its in parallel with the front PTO so you cannot. 
Plus you need a small connector for the lift power (12/18V).

yes you can. It has separate controls - a switch mounted on top
of it "up-off-down".

I like to remove the rear lift. as it sticks out and I keep hitting
things with it when I back up. 

You will also need the tiller bar which must be mounted to the rear
axle. see http://markus.lorch.net/et/more-pics/082004-et-tiller-3.jpg
