is why havent't they been adapted to allow installing a plow on the front for winter use, when the snow on the 100 foot driveway forces us to hire a contractor for snow removal?

My grandfather had a Craftsman 16hp riding mower that he had a plow on, and he bought that in 1978. A better choice, IMO, are the front-attached snow blowers. The pulley that runs the belt for the deck in used to turn the blower.
I thought these things were commonplace?
I'm torn- I have a little postage stamp of a yard (very common here in FL- essentially all you will ever get with a newer home), and I'd like more. BUT, you can be assured that when I arrive on my acre+ of turf, it will be with one of those contractor grade mowers that goes 12mph when cutting.
I don't mind yard work, but I like to do other things more.
Here's something- since I moved to FL in 1993, I've had serious pollen/grass allergies. I've been getting shots for the last year, and these have allowed me to smell again.
Now that I can, I am reminded of how badly manufacturers need to clean up emissions on mowers. These things stink- badly. I'm looking at a cordless model to cut my tiny yard, as I can't stand the smell behind my push mower any more. And, it's well-tuned.
