Rod, live PTO is certainly the best way to go, but it CAN be done without. You just need to plan ahead a little.
I have a 5' Pronovost on the back of my JD 750 which does not have live PTO. I get by just fine with it. I blow in low reverse which 90% of the time is fine. If I get into a real pile and start luggin' the ol' gal down, I either raise the blower to lessen the load, or clutch it and slip it in neutral for a bit.
