I have a 2009 60" Meteor snowblower and i am not impress by it's eficiency. In your thierd picture it look like dozing the snow more than throwing it exactly like mine. The snow is roling in the back even at half wide pass and the chute not throwing much too.
I should have picture but since i bought it i am playing enginer by modifing that blower. Do it realy help? I am not sure.
I think i have looked at all that is on You Tube to understand how a good one is working.

I noticed the bulldozing too. The ground speed is too fast for what the blower will handle.

Guys,
What you have to understand is that this was not a regular snow fall. The bottom layer toward the driveway was wet snow (about a foot), the middle was layer was semi wet (6 to 7 inches) and the top layer was powder (5 to 6 inches). With that kind of snow condition, the blower did pretty well with that wet snow. If the snow was all powder, it would have blown it with no issue and would have not had that bulldozer issue you see in the picture. Is it the best blower out there, no; however, for the money it is not a bad blower.

The Blower Specs also seem a bit light duty compared to other brands on the market.
