Frontier verses Meteor snow blower

[firefighterjrm]

I am looking at some advise looking at purchasing a snow blower for my 3032e John Deere my local dealer sells the frontier sb1164 and MK Martin Meteor the price is about only about a 20 dollar difference the Meteor is 60 inch cut verses the frontier is 64 the frontier is about 100 pounds heavier I am looking for pros and cons on both to try to make an educated decision thanks for all the help

I myself would go for the weight.

It's a good possibility the Frontier is actually Woods Equipment built. Frontier is a marketer, not a manufacturer.
I agree with murphy...go for the heavier, wider unit, the Frontier.
BTW, if it is a Woods, it's quite likely "Woods" will be embossed on the gear box housing.

I have a Frontier sb1174. No problems in five winters, number six coming up. That's the only tractor blower I've had, so I can't help with comparisons.
