I am probably biased here, but we have sold the
Econor brand for many years and have had good
luck with them. The Normand brand is much too heavy
for most homeowners needs, so the Econor (normand's
economy line) has been
a good choice for CUTS that want rear blowers. Never
had a compaint.
As a JD dealer, we will probably change and stock
Frontier blowers, as they have come out with a nice
unit for the $$ also.
your tractor should be fine with that choice.
