MK Martin meteor Pull Type PERFORMANCE Snowblower Highlights
The MK Martin Meteor Performance Snowblower is a serious snow-removing beast. We’ve used the standard design the last few Michigan winters with complete satisfaction. Now they’ve improved the design so you can back up to a garage wall or retaining wall and pull snow away without the need to add an additional backdrag.
Benefit of a Pull-Type Snow Blower
We absolutely prefer a 3-Pt pull-type snowblower over a standard 3-Pt Hitch reverse facing blower. The forward-facing design allows you to operate the blower while driving forward, pulling the attachment instead of backing it into the snow. This means you no longer have twist and crane your neck to look over your shoulder when blowing snow or drive into a cloud of blown snow.
If you have enormous snowfalls where you can’t drive the tractor ahead of the snowblower, this isn’t the blower for you. For the rest of us with only 18–24″ of snowfall max at a time, go with this pull-type.
FEATURES
- Cleans tight to the garage door (without needing an optional back drag)
- 5 blade impeller
- High tensile steel flighting auger
- Standard manual chute deflector (all)
- Multi-hinged deflector (Standard on 68″ up to 97″ Models), otherwise standard deflector.
- Standard manual chute rotator (SB54PT & SB60PT)

OPTIONS

- Tivar (plastic) contact surfaces: skids shoe and cutting edge
*Tivar is a wear resistant plastic that replaces steel cutting edges and bolts onto the skid shoes, and is gentler when clearing, ideal for interlocking brick and decorative stone, or concrete.
