Redtail Reviews: MK Martin Meteor 78 Pull-Type Snowblower

I've been using an MK Martin Meteor 78 Pull-Type Snowblower on my property in the mountains of Idaho, and wanted to give you all my first impressions. Overall, I gave it 4/5 stars. It has a few flaws, but has handled some challenging conditions very well.
I've been using it with my New Holland WorkMaster 60 tractor, and have about three miles of poorly maintained dirt road to keep accessible.
The price of the snowblower was $8388 from a local dealer.

Option 3 is a front mount snowblower that is powered by a driveshaft that runs to the rear PTO.

Main thing with any road or driveway... You need to keep it frozen down... So with that being said you would have to remove every time it Snow's no matter the amount.. the snow always works as insulation you know.. once it's frozen tight skid shoes will work good

Thanks for this video. I've been considering one of these for a while but every video I seen has shows the blower being used in a couple of inches of snow. In your opinion, how much snow do you think is too much for this setup? Thanks again!

The main issue with your shear pins as I can see your snow looks awful wet and heavy... My brother went with a slip clutch on the PTO shaft never had to bother with shear pins after that... He ran a 8 ft rear mount blower... Only downfall a slip clutch is probably about $300... But sheer pens add up after a while and the time down adds up

Moore i think about it a slip clutch would be a good investment for you👍
