Owner Reviews
Igor, 36 years old:
I bought ME 61, I am satisfied with the machine, I plowed it for 3 years without any problems. The engine is excellent, the car itself is compact, it goes everywhere and is maneuverable. It slides a little, takes large snowdrifts, but very hard. The ejection hole is regularly blocked and everything freezes. There is a risk of the drive belt breaking. The rest – no complaints. Good car.
Advantages: good performance, compact size, price.
Disadvantages: Sometimes the sputum slips, clogs and freezes.
Maxim, 39 years old:
I bought an MTD for my cafe last fall – the snowfalls started early, I considered it more profitable to shell out a mechanical assistant than to hire a separate worker to clear the territory. The snow blower is very easy to use, does not require any special care, rakes snow drifts in just a few minutes – the area around the cafe is always perfectly cleaned.
Advantages: efficient, productive, simple.
Disadvantages: no.
