Quick Answer: For most owners plowing a driveway or shared path, the Nordic Plow Universal Mount ($1,240-$1,350 for 49”-64” widths) is the best zero-turn mower snow plow — its patented curved-edge blade is the company’s most popular design and the universal mount works across ZTR brands. Budget-conscious owners should reach for the Agri-Fab 45-0613 60” instead (roughly $509-$664 across retailers), which costs several hundred dollars less for a full blade-and-mount kit. Whichever you choose, plan on adding tire chains and wheel weights for real traction — a zero-turn’s rear-wheel-drive layout with no 4WD leaves it light on grip in snow and ice compared to a tractor or UTV.
A zero-turn mower already sits in your shed all summer, so turning it into a snow-clearing machine for a few winter months makes more sense than buying a dedicated plow truck or walk-behind blower for a short driveway. Here’s how the main attachment options compare on cost, fit, and traction.
Last updated: August 27, 2026 — reconfirmed both Nordic Plow prices direct from nordicplow.com ($1,240 for the 49”, $1,350 for the 64”, no drift) and the Agri-Fab 45-0613 across Lowe’s ($509) and Walmart ($663.82), also unchanged. No safety recalls found for either brand’s zero-turn plow line.
Zero-turn mower snow plow attachments compared

Best overall: Nordic Plow Universal Mount
Nordic Plow Universal Mount Snow Plow, 49"-64"
- Nordic Plow's curved-edge blade is a patented design the company markets as reducing the force needed to roll snow off to the side rather than pushing it in a straight pile, and the 49" and 64" universal-mount versions are listed as its most popular configurations, per Nordic Plow's own site.
- The universal mount is built to work across ZTR brands rather than one manufacturer's frame, so it's the safer buy if you're not sure you'll own the same mower brand long-term.
- At $1,240 (49") to $1,350 (64"), it costs roughly double the Agri-Fab below — the premium buys the curved-blade design and Nordic Plow's established plow-specific engineering rather than a repurposed lawn attachment.
A cracked shear pin or a bent blade edge mid-storm is the wrong time to wait a week on a dealer order — a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial gets replacement hardware to your door in two days so a driveway doesn’t stay buried longer than it has to.
This is the pick for anyone plowing regularly through a full winter — long private driveways, HOA paths, or a side business clearing a few neighbors’ drives — where the wider 64” blade and curved-edge design cut down on passes.
Best value: Agri-Fab 45-0613
Agri-Fab 45-0613 60" Zero-Turn Snow Blade
- 14-gauge steel blade construction with three angling positions (left, center, right) adjustable from a single handle without leaving the mower seat, per Agri-Fab's product listing.
- 60" working width covers most residential driveways in fewer passes than a narrower blade, and the mount is designed to fit a broad range of ZTR brands rather than one.
- Pricing spreads unusually wide by retailer — Lowe's has listed it around $509 while Walmart runs closer to $664 for the identical model — so it's worth comparison-shopping before buying.
The right call for most homeowners plowing their own driveway — it’s several hundred dollars cheaper than the Nordic Plow above and covers the same 60”-class width, trading the curved-edge blade geometry for a lower price.
Best modular budget: Country Manufacturing Universal Kit
Country Manufacturing 4-5 ft. Snow Blade with Universal Mounting Bar
- Uses Country Mfg's Universal Mounting Bar system, which the company says lets you swap between different attachments by pulling just two mounting pins — useful if you already run other Country Mfg implements on the same mower.
- Available in 4 ft. (about $789 with mount, or $669 blade-only if you already own the bar) and 5 ft. (about $829 with mount, or $709 blade-only) widths.
- Optional poly edges ($49 for a 2-pack) are hard poly-thermoplastic blades designed for use on concrete and asphalt without scarring the surface, and are reversible to double service life, per the manufacturer.
Worth a look if you’re building out a mounting-bar system you’ll reuse for carts, blades, or other tow/mount implements across seasons rather than buying single-purpose hardware each time.
Best for steering-wheel ZTRs: Nordic Plow model-specific mount
Nordic Plow 49" Model-Specific Mount (Cub Cadet RZT / Toro TimeCutter)
- Built specifically around the steering-wheel assembly on Cub Cadet's Synchro-Steer RZT line and Toro's TimeCutter models rather than a universal lap-bar mount — see our zero-turn mower steering wheel guide for which current models use this control layout.
- Priced close to the universal-mount version above ($1,228-$1,245 versus $1,240-$1,350), so the choice mostly comes down to whether your mower's frame actually needs the model-specific bracket.
- Same curved-edge blade geometry as Nordic Plow's universal line, just paired with a mount engineered for the narrower clearance around a steering column instead of a lap-bar console.
Check this option first if you own a steering-wheel ZTR — a universal lap-bar mount may not clear the steering assembly, and buying the wrong bracket means a return shipment during peak snow season.
What to check before buying
- Traction is the real limiting factor, not blade width — zero-turns are rear-wheel drive with no 4WD or differential lock, so plan on tire chains sized to your rear tires plus wheel weights over them for anything beyond light, dry snow; check blade and fender clearance before buying chains, since some decks don’t leave room.
- Universal mounts fit more mowers, but model-specific mounts fit better — if your ZTR brand has a dedicated mount option (Cub Cadet, Toro, Dixie Chopper are common ones), it’s usually worth the same price over a universal bracket.
- A plow adds real front-end weight — see our zero-turn mower jack guide if you’ll be doing your own hardware maintenance on a mower carrying a plow, since jacking points can shift with the added mount.
- This is a different load class than towed attachments — our dethatcher guide covers the towing-vs-mounting distinction; a front-mounted plow, like a front-mounted dethatcher, bolts to the frame rather than hitching behind it.
- Blade sharpness for mowing season doesn’t change — see our blade-sharpening guide for your normal spring tune-up once plow season ends.
The bottom line
Owners who plow regularly through a full winter should buy the Nordic Plow Universal Mount at $1,240-$1,350 — its curved-edge blade and cross-brand mount are worth the premium if you’re clearing more than your own driveway. Budget-conscious homeowners should start with the Agri-Fab 45-0613 at roughly $509-$664, which covers the same 60”-class width for several hundred dollars less. Owners running a steering-wheel ZTR like a Cub Cadet RZT or Toro TimeCutter should check the Nordic Plow model-specific mount before assuming a universal bracket will fit. Whatever you choose, budget separately for tire chains and wheel weights — see our full zero-turn mower guide for deck sizes and specs across every major brand before you buy.
