…. Snowblower only has 2 wheels..... Yes but in the photo he has rigidly bolted the blower to the front wheel of the aircraft... Hence three wheels.

From what I read, Operator lifts the 2 rear wheels/snowblower to turn the nosewheel of aircraft, then uses snow blower powered wheels to pull in that direction.
snowblower weight 78kg before removal of front blower, so maybe 60% of weight left.
I have never used or seen unit in the flesh. Just saw the article/thread in at the linked site. Maybe more info in that linked site?
