Does a DK55 have a front pto option?

[sqdqo]

I was reading through the DK55 specifications on Kioti's web site and saw where Kioti states "front pto speed same as engine speed ". Does the DK55 have a front pto option? If so can you run a front mount snow blower with it?

I think you can connect to the front end of the crankshaft but some sort of clutch and gear reduction would be needed. Maybe there are kits for this; I don't know.

Most of your front driven items [snowblower] run at higher [2100 rpm] speeds. So not reducers required. I was going to use mine to run a hydraulic pump but not enough ground clearance to leave the pump on. CJ

maybe they were talking about the middle PTO, never heard of a "front" PTO like all the big tractors

The mid pto faces forward and can run a front mounted blower. Its a $200 option that the dealer can order for you. Install it next time you change your hydraulic fluid. It does hang down about the same as the backhoe bracket.
