Mounted snow blower or how to use a walk-behind tractor for snow removal

Who has a walk-behind tractor on the farm, the question arises: can it be used in winter - for snow removal? How to do this, is there a universal attachment for walk-behind tractors for sale? Yes, but you need to understand it, tk. there is no universal solution for all equipment of this class.
