might be too much for the pto to handle. The few snow blower trucks I've seen all had an auxillary engine where the bed is; the sole function of that engine is to drive the snow blower independent of the truck. I question whether your truck engine has enough power to run the truck and snow blower at the same time. I also question whether the pto is up to that task. Finally, the snow blower will speed up only when the truck does; you may want to keep the speed of the truck and snow blower separate for better operation.
