Joe Horswell –
I purchased the 60-in pull type MK Martin Meteor snowblower from Good Works tractors in 2021 and it has not disappointed. It was a pleasure doing business with good works tractors. The transaction was easy, and the shipping was prompt. My snowblower arrived on a pallet in pristine condition, requiring only a little bit of wrenching to remove it from the pallet, install the chute, back drag, and lift points so I could pick it up with my 3-point quick hitch. I have to say the snow blower works amazingly well! I only have a couple of very minor gripes. 2) The manual hand crank chute rotator is a pain to operate. The optional electric bolt-on rotator is almost $1,000, so that wasn’t an option I was willing to buy. In the end I fabricated a bracket to mount an electric car seat motor to the hand crank worm drive shaft, then installed a switch & relay in the armrest. It works fantastic, and cost a total of about $150! I also installed an electric linear actuator on the manual chute deflector, and wired it to a relay/switch on the armrest. This cost about $100, all in. Anyone interested in how I fabricated either setup is welcome to contact me via email, I will reply with details & photos. 2) The manual backdrag design operates in either the up or down position only. You have to get off of the tractor to raise it up or to lower it. I found this arrangement to not work very well. So I fabricated a fixed bracket and use the back drag In the down position, mostly as a reverse gear snow pusher, which works great for that purpose. I recommend procuring a handful of drive shaft shear bolts and auger sheer bolts to have on hand. If you go off-road slightly and pick up a few rocks, you will quickly jam the auger and shear one of the shear bolts. My final tiny peeve is one that is probably common to all snow blowers, and that is the chute can get clogged with snow and ice if you’re operating in damp snow or conditions that are just at or barely below freezing. In weather from the mid-20s or colder, this is not an issue. I would also recommend getting some ballast weight for your front end loader, as this beast of a snowblower weighs in the 400 lb range and mounts fairly far behind your tractor. Your front end will become light if you don’t add ballast to the loader. I remedied this problem by stacking cinder blocks in my loader bucket, which added appx. 400 lb. This works perfectly for keeping the front wheels down and for maintaining 4wd traction & steering at all times. Ultimately I have nothing but good to say about this wonderful snowblower! I have a 435 ft x 16 ft driveway that would be next to impossible to clear with even a large walk-behind snowblower. If you are not quite sure about purchasing this snowblower, don’t delay any longer. It will be well worth the money. Just make sure to service it at the end of each winter season to keep it in optimal condition for the next year! Thank you Courtney Scott, owner of Goodworks tractors.com!!!
