44 inch Snowblower stalls trackor when engaged?

[Chas520H 17]

just hooked up my 44 inch snow blower and when I engage the PTO it stalls the tractor? any suggestions

Does it actually stall it or does the engine cut out?  If it is indeed a stall, there is something rubbing in the blower-doubtful as usually the PTO belt will slip.  If the engine cuts out, there is something wrong with the safety switch (usually seat).  Take the blower belt off and try it.  That should eliminate one of the two potential causes

Yes that was it, seat safety switch, as always thanks doc
