Have you checked your local Craigslist? You'll probably just have to buy a used snowplow and make it fit your Bullnose.

we have a Snow Bear up in WV that came from Northern tools they pretty much fit anything
I think Etrailer carries them too... cheaper than Blowes I don't know if either is any better than the other.

yeah, I understand that too.... Northern has finance program too https://www.northerntool.com/shop/to...-options-index

just don't know IF you have them in your area. Blowes or HD is always good for other stuff besides tools too so may be a better option for a line of credit.
