I have a 75 inch meteor with hydraulic chute rotations...it replaced a 60 inch meteor with manual chute rotation I had for a number of years. When I upbraded to a 3320 w/cab a few years ago I decided to go wider w hydraulic chute rotation. Never had a problem with any of them.

My Meteor snowblower is 13yrs old and going strong. It is a manual chute though.

I would love to upgrade to a hyd chute control as well as a 75" foot print.
I bought mine to go mate with my 3710 an found that I could easily run it on my Hesston 100 90.
It is built well, had no weak design points that I can determine and works like a rented mule.

I bought my 75" Meteor about 3 years ago for 1900. I ordered it with manual chute control but it came with Hyd. Salesman said they were only charged for Manual so there was no increase in cost.
It's been a work horse. Just keep The zirks greased and put some motorcycle chain lub on the chain a few times each season.
We average about 140" of snow per season, not counting the drifts!

I looked at a 72" meteor snowblower listed on CL about a year ago...and my only issue with it was the thickness of the steel on the body and augar didnt look as thick as other brands 72-75" units. Otherwise it looked well built.
I owned a 60 inch and ran it behind a 28hp tractor, I have a half mile long driveway and found it to be slow death. It took almost 4 hours to do all my driveway. I had to go very slow because the blower could not handle the snow. It didn't bog down the tractor it just couldn't handle the volume. I can do the same driveway in about 30 minutes with a 7 foot plow on the tractor.
No issues with reliabilty or breakdowns.
