Wanted to let you guys know how pleased I am with my zero turn snowplow I purchased from you a couple of months ago.

It was easy to install and I used it for the first time today-
Wow what a product. I have a long driveway and it took me only twenty minutes what used to take me hours. Especially useful was how rapidly and easily you can change the direction of the plow , left right and center. Super easy. Great design and can't tell you how pleased I am with the product.
From start to finish, order delivery installation- a great experience.
Thank you,
Mark A. Meaders

 Here is a nice example of "where there is a will, there is a way." Thought you folks might be interested in this. I've mounted your 5' snow
plow on my John Deere Z355E Zero turn mower.

Fabricated a 2"x3/16"x27" angle for a mounting attachment on the front frame
of the mower.
Just requires drilling 4, 5/16" holes in the mower frame. Very solid. Happy
to provide the specs if anyone desires that."

Yours,

 Here are a couple of photos sent in by Tim Trebian showing how he adapted the snowplow to his Bad Boy Maverick Zero Turn Mower. Tim added a 12 volt ATV winch and a rubber top flap to his unit to better suit his needs. Nice Work Tim!

Many people ask about adapting our snow plows to the stander mowers. Howie Waldman sent in these photos to show how he adapted the plow to his Wright Sentar. Great job of thinking outside of the box!

Hi Dave

I spoke to you on Monday about adapting your zero turn plow to my Wright Sentar. I must say, very fast shipping, it arrived in 2 days.

I attached some pictures to show you how I adapted it for my mower. This same idea could be used for any of the stand on mowers, since Wright, Toro, Exmark and others are producing them now.

Thanks for the great plow, I look forward to quickly clearing snow from my large driveway this winter.

Regards,

 We like to show upgrades made by our customers to make the snowplows fit their individual needs better. Here is a great example:

I have had my Country Zero Turn snow plow for a couple of seasons now and have been pleased with the way it has performed, after some modifications. The lift mechanism was unworkable with my Swisher Zero turn mower so, I had to make changes before it could be used the first time. With repeated use I realized another change had to be made to the blade angle adjustment system.

Before the upgrade I had to:

De-glove for dexterity
Remove the hairpin from the bottom of the draw-pin (unseen).

Withdraw the draw-pin completely.
Angle the blade one-handed while aligning the draw-pin.
Find the small hole in the draw-pin (unseen) and insert the hairpin.
Re-glove.

I constructed this device to replace the draw-pin and eliminate the hairpin.

Since the up grade I only need to:

Lift the draw-pin (while gloved).
Angle the blade slightly and release the draw-pin. Continue angling the blade two-handed until the draw-pin drops.

No need for a hairpin, as the springs hold the draw-pin in place. No frozen fingers and hairpins dropped in the snow while searching for an elusive hole in the draw-pin. No fussy alignment of holes to replace a free draw-pin.

I thought your former customers might be interested in a similar upgrade to their blades, or new customers might like this as an add-on.

My name is Tony Geraghty. Before winter started I bought your snowplow. I have had several people looking in disbelief when they see me using it. This morning I had a Mr. Taylor stop by and ask me about it. He said that all winter long he has driven by my house and seen it. He kept telling himself one of these days I'm going to stop by and ask whoever lives there about the snowplow. He said today is the day.

He asked me if ever had a problem with it and I told him no. As a matter fact it works fantastic. I let him know that it took me about 45 minutes to put the whole thing together. The assembly was straightforward and easy. I went on to tell him not only do I plow my own driveway but I plowed two of my neighbor's driveways.

I told him to feel free to look at how it's assembled on my zero turn mower. He was impressed.

Anyway I gave him your website address: countryzeroturn.com. So don't be surprised if you don't hear from him pretty soon.

Here is a nice photo submitted by Edd Higbee of the 4 ft wide zero turn snowplow mounted to a John Deere Z225. Edd tells us he had to do some custom fabrication on a zero turn mower that small, but with a bit of custom work, it can be done!

Great Job Edd!

Christine Vance sent us this photo showing how she and her husband adapted the clamp-on mount to use on their Craftsman Zero Turn Mower. The caster frame did not have adequate strength for pushing snow, so they took the L shaped clamp bracket, flipped it over and bolted through the foot deck and into the frame.

Now THAT is putting American know-how to work!

 Here is a great example of thinking outside the box by Ron Watson. On Ron's Encore Zero Turn Mower, the control levers set too close to his legs making the step-lift difficult to use. He reversed the step-lift bar and added a Linear Actuator to raise and lower the blade! We like to see American Ingenuity at work making our products fit your individual needs.

Way to go Ron!

Today (1/6/2016) I completed my customer communication with Country ZTR (Chad) regarding my dissatisfaction with the spreader upon its arrival. I have had positive experiences with the snow blade and replacement parts. I try to buy American made products whenever it is reasonable to do so. Here is the list of concerns expressed to the company in writing:

The small bag containing assembly pieces was missing items from the assembly list and contained items not identified in the assembly directions or parts breakdown.

The feed rate door would not slip past the agitator allowing for adjustment.

The plastic sleeve at the end of the support frame was cracked.

Because of the design of the operating rod it cannot be assembled if you following the assembly directions exactly.

The placement of the O-belt guard prevents the fan from spinning.

The tabs for the 5/16 bolts are missing.

The bearing opposite the wheel pulley fell out during assembly.

While this list of flaws is extensive the response from the company—they did offer a full refund—is more troubling. There was no expression of interest in the flaws or interest in providing a replacement typical of a company that stands behind its product. In fact they wrote: “We do not believe a replacement unit would be satisfactory…” Given that the product appears to still be for sale by Country ZTR either they are delivering a product that they believe to be unsatisfactory or they have simply dismissed the facts of my customer feedback.

Here is a nice example of modifying the snow plow mounts and lift bar to suit your individual Zero Turn!

Steve Amuso of Clarence NY sent in this photo and it looks like he has also installed some nice LED lights! Steve's plow setup has the poly strip inplace for use on concrete and asphalt surfaces.

Great job Steve and we are sure you will be getting this plow in action soon!

 "The dethatcher seems like a great product though haven't had a chance to use. Very heavy duty. Not to difficult to put together as long as you lay everything out and follow the instructions. SUPER FAST shipping. GREAT GREAT GREAT customer service and communication. The only reasons I gave it a 4 is because when I received it, the boxes were damaged (most likely due to shipping)and the dethacher had a few scratches on it witch I don't mind. I will be putting many more scratches on it I'm sure. Also, One of the tines was in the way for mounting the tine assembly to the main bar so I had to loosen the tine and put the bolt in backwards to make it work and then put the tine back on, on a slight angle. All and all though, especially for the price, I believe this product is going to hold up and do a great job dethatching for many years to come."

 The plow has exceeded my expectations, and couldn't have come at a better time with almost 20" of snow falling last week. I am impressed and will recommend it to anyone.

 Thank you so much for the help over the phone yesterday. I got the plow mounted tonight.

 Received the blade quickly after I ordered . Thank you. Took us about 2 hrs. To install. Hardest part was the drilling to mount brackets to mower. Once finished , it was like a tinker toy. Nothing to it. Good instructions. I'm impressed with the quality of the parts used. Nothing rinky dink. We will
have to make one modification to the bar that hooks on to foot pedal. My long legs hit the steering control arms when holding the blade in the up position. I think if we shorten that bar, my legs will stretch out just like when I mow. Can't wait to use it. My wife told me to buy it. She said once it gets installed, it will never, ever snow again. I like the fact this is American made and I feel you are good company to deal with. Very impressed you closed for the holidays, giving employees time off to spend with families. Classy. Thank you and all your people for a great American product. Hope you have a terrific year.

 I just wanted to send a picture of my Husky MZ5424S. Sporting a new Country Zero Turn 5' plow!!! Let it snow!!!!

 Over the past 5 months, I've purchased both the zero-turn dethatcher and the zero-turn aerator attachments. Both are great units, paid for themselves within 2 jobs, and seem to be great investments. I appreciate the customer service you receive with each order from these folks. I recommend them to other landscapers when they're thinking of buying attachments for their mowers.

  My 13 year old bought this with his money. With a few minor modifications we got it together in about an hour. Move snow well. Filled in the pot holes in my gravel driveway. He'll make his money back!

 The universal bar was hard to install. You should have the brackets welded on. Only cost me $ 20.00.

Overall this company was great!!!!!!!!!!!

PS Better than paying $ 3000.00

 I am very happy with my recent purchase of the Zero Turn Tractor, snow plow. I have included some photographs. We have pretty good snows in Northern Maryland. I am waiting for the big snow (Murphy's law............... now that I have my blade). I used the blade to clean up from a snow storm from 1 1/2 weeks ago. To give the tractor extra traction I inserted some 5/16" sheet metal screws into the turf lugs. It gives it a good bite on my hill, without the bulk, that snow chains give. The purchase from your company went very smooth. I will buy from your company again. I have shared photographs of my plow with other zero turn owners who are impressed with it.

Thanks for your help,
Jim H. Whiteford, Maryland
