You don’t need a quick hitch for front mount snowblowers, it’s just a nicety. If you have an FEL, a snowblower mount can be adapted to use the FEL frame mount. The instructions for my B2650 snowblower shows exactly where to drill a hole on each side of the FEL frame mount in order to install the snowblower mount. It was easy to do and the blower goes on and off pretty easily but not as easy as a quick hitch.Which quick hitch would I need to find?
How does the blower rotate when mounted to the FEL? I’ve never seen this installation beforeYou don’t need a quick hitch for front mount snowblowers, it’s just a nicety.

Not exactly sure what you mean by “rotate” unless you’re talking the PTO shaft. The blower is not mounted to the FEL. The blower rear support arms bolt into the FEL chassis frame under the tractor. You just need to drill two holes. The FEL itself is removed for the winter. There is no way to have an FEL chassis frame and a snowblower chassis frame installed at the same time so using the FEL chassis frame to mount the rear support arms saves a lot of time and hassle. I’m not sure how a Quick Hitch mounts but would be surprised it doesn’t also have some sort of supports that extend under the tractor chassis in order to transfer load and dynamic forces.How does the blower rotate when mounted to the FEL?
