It looks to me as though the middle wheels, which are small technic wheels,
are meant to ride on the track and rotate. Given this, it seems simple
enough to drive the big dish at the front when any powered train is used to
push the plough unit.

If you look at the right-most wheel, it seems to have metal on the
flanges. That could be a pickup for power to the plow.
(but it could just be reflections)

If this set has a new element that allows power pickup WITHOUT motor
drive that would be awesome indeed. (think lighted coaches...) Closing
the loop and providing a way to get drive power to wheels that did not
themselves pick up electric power would be about the coolest thing
imaginable!
