I can't comment on the zero-turn, as I've never used one. However, I agree that if looking to do multiple things, it is MUCH(!!!!!) easier to clear that snow with a full-size vehicle rather than a small lightweight garden tractor, or even an 8N.
Our driveway isn't paved and is about 1/2-mile long. 1/4 of that is actually ours, the other half is minimum maintenance road. All grass/gravel. Used to have a 4010 with FEL and a JD 2-stage snow thrower, and I thought that was really nice....even though the tractor had no cab.
Now I have a plow on my 1/2-ton Dodge 4x4 and I'll never go back to moving snow with a tractor, OR a snow blower!
Our snows are usually drier, which means easier to move. Many other parts of the country get heavy, wet snow, and you simply cannot beat a plow in "most" instances. The automobile will have heat, protect from snow/wind, and get the job done much faster than a small machine. My truck does ALL of the plowing, but uses only a fraction of the fuel the JD 4010 used with the snow thrower.
