A hydraulic system used in conjunction with a standard pickup truck and the like for powering a snowblower and other implements. The hydraulic system provides power for controlling up and down movement of a snowblower and for driving the snowblower's auger and fan. The hydraulic system, which only minimally impacts the pickup truck's horsepower output, is designed so that all of its mechanical components may be placed within the truck's engine compartment. The hydraulic system can be easily connected to and removed from a truck's existing engine mount, and the snowblower unit itself is designed so that it may be easily attached to the vehicle.
