MTD Snow Blowers

While the name MTD may not be familiar to you, names like Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Bolens, McCulloch, White Outdoor and Yard Machines might be, they are all brands manufactured by MTD.

We recommend spending some time at your local hardware stores and get an idea for what is selling and being used in your area. Look at all the models and study all the features. Ask some questions and try to narrow your selections down to a few machines, then head home and search prices on the internet. You may be amazed at how much the local hardware store is trying to overcharge you, or you may be very pleased with their price, and service, and run right back to buy. Either way, you will be an informed consumer.
