Yep, you're probably right about the tiller modifications.. my first image
of a HSM version was to use an old walk-behind Gravely, but the availability
of those may be getting thin.. and they used to have small HP motors.
Maybe this is an indication that I need to update my memories' images by
about 40 years.

This machine presents an interesting project possibility.
All Ya Gotta Do Is..
Self-powered snow blower repurposed for summer use,
Disconnect the blower drive components,
Add on a hydraulic pump in it's place,
Add a cylinder, reservoir, pulsing valve and hoses,
Fabricate and add tapered edged plow-type blade,
Feed cable or flex pipe into kerf sliced in the soil/turf.
How hard could it be?
Your neighbors will suddenly find you (interesting and) projects for your
machine.
Easier to do with a rear tine tiller. Use the drive for the tines to
vibrate the plow. Front mounted engine balances out the added rear
components.
