You probably don't want a front mount blower on a 2wd tractor. It puts a lot of weight up front in the steering wheels, and takes a lot of weight off the rear wheels - opposite of what you need for blowing snow.
They cost more, as you need the driveline from the rear pto to the front of the machine - unless you have a front pto on the tractor. As wellas the front mounting brackets & hydralics to lift.
Seems like a lot more work to attach & remove....
You lose the use of the bucket, which can be handy for scraping ice & so forth.
Now, if you have a compact little tractor with a front pto & 4wd, then never mind - those are built for a front mount blower.
Placing the blower on the loader arms sounds good, but how do you power it? About the only practical way is to use hydraulic motor. But very few tractors have enough hyd power to spin a fair sized snow blower. It works with a skid steer, where the whole unit is basically a huge hydraulic unit with lots of flow & cooling. But a tractor typically doesn't have the 20-60 hyd hp needed to run a blower.
Just my thoughts on the matter, and some things to ponder. Don't let me talk you out of it, but just some thoughts.
