Okay, so if you shopped around for snow blades for ZTR type mower/tractors you know that you've got a rather limited number of choices. You can go hydraulic mech. or the more simpler foot operated mech. This unit uses the foot type and in the dead of winter I'd rather depend on my feet than hydraulics, hoses, motors, etc. Overall kit is well designed and more than price competitive. The parts are well made and heavy duty. I had already purchased when the question was answered that said it would NOT fit my Hustler Raptor SD however to me it looked like it would with some minor adaption. I think you would need to own one of these ZTRs to realize just how it fits. You can simply remove the two bolts that hold the front lower nameplate/foot rest to allow the two clamps to work. You could just leave it off while the plow was attached for winter or elect to use a die grinder to cut 2 vertical slits in that plate and remount it. I like the idea of just leaving those front clamp/mounts on so I can just drop the two large pins and remove everything quickly. Performance? Well, I've had my own homemade versions on other ZTRs of this type of plow so I have high hopes for this unit. I think it will work fine. Oh, and check your box for all parts and the instruction manual.

Pick up plow from TSC and people there were awesome! As for the plow it was missing parts and it has been a nightmare trying to resolve issues as of now still waiting on parts.
