- Winter of 2014-2015 snowfall of 85 CM in 24 HRS winds over 120 KM/HR...The V Plow and its operator defiantly made their way through massive banks. Part 2: • 2005 Road Star 1700 Id...
Did that in 60’s. Pound again and again in Michigan. Bad ass diesel, bad ass transmission, bad ass 20 yr old driver. 16 to 20 hr days back then and you ate when you found food. No cry babies back then. You did what you were needed to do. 🤗🇺🇸🇨🇦
back when men were manly men. :) definitely, a different breed of people 1 or 2 generations ago. it would be nice to combine the best of the past with the best of today (culturally speaking). to clarify what i mean. it would be nice to have the toughness of back in the day, with the open mindness of today.
Amen to that brother.they don’t make them like us anymore
Years ago in Nova Scotia, in the Truro area, there was an old FWD that would show up most winters once or twice. As kids we waited up most of one night to see her break open our big drift, but at the same time hoping she wouldn’t come, so that neither would the school bus. A few years later (mid 70s) there was a new FWD, but then most winters the old Cat #12 grader could handle the work. And then I was told that the new FWD was the old one. The gas engine and 5-speed transmission had been changed out for a Cummins 290 and 9-speed, and a Louisville cab had replaced the old Dodge cab. 45 years later, is she still at work? I really enjoyed this video, thank you.
Great video! Thanks for sharing it. We have a cottage on this road. We lost half our trees under the wait of all the snow that year. Makes sense after seeing this.
Great work moving all that snow. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
I'm really confused I think the video is broken I didn't hear any euro techno music that drowned out all the bad ass diesel motor sounds
Worked up on PEI 2 summers ago over on mount Albion for a guy putting up a hops trellis for him. I miss that place lots of great memories
When we have a really big storm the town brings out the Walters! Definitely does the job! One brand of V plow, the Viking was made in Clayton NY only about 25 miles from where I was born and raised and they sold thousands of them! We still live in a rural area 20 miles south of where I was born and many towns and villages here in "The Real Upstate NY", not anything about the city as some say they are, still use the V plow!
My mom always used to drive us through Clayton and always mention the plows. I thought it was Frink though?
@@Peter-iw1ql The company in Clayton NY was Frink Sno Plow but went out of business years ago. Viking-Cives is in Harrisville NY and I believe still in business.
Ah good old Walters! Especially handy when your under the lake effect snow belt for a day or more. Anyone who's lived in proximity to the east of late Ontario knows that stuff means business.
That' big osh kosh is an absolutely beautiful sight to see and hear when your snowed in like that.
Thats not an Oshkosh thats a FWD but still a big snowfighter and hes hammering that old girl
That's FWD. Its not a truck. Its a piece of equipment. The public loves seeing this
i dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know of a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Harrison Victor instablaster ;)
@Elon Patrick thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I live just up the road in margate, cant wait to see this happen again
Certainly fun watching a big V plow smash through some snow banks. Would have been more effective to have a wheel loader mounted self powered dual auger snowblower to launch the snow to the sides.
The biggest problem with snow blowers is there are too many moving parts. Augers, fans, chutes to plug, chains that break, bearing that fail. Drive shafts and clutches. Hydraulic motors, pumps and cylinders all connected by hoses that fail. They are a disaster that can only happen when you're using them. The best operator. no matter how long he's been in his section will loose the road and eat a buried post and the thing is down for hours.
Give me a hydraulic V plow on a loader or a V plow and a cable mounted wing on a truck and you have a good chance of having a piece of equipment that will work all day and come back to the garage in a condition that it can go out again the next morning. Most of these heavy snow removal videos are happening a day or more after the storm. These are the problem places in their area that they get to last. If you live in one of these places all I can say is, have a generator that you know will start and lots of fuel for it so your water pump will work. Have a wood stove and a couple weeks of wood under cover in the wood shed or basement. Have lots of canned goods and pasta sauce and stuff to read!
I'm retiring in 18 months, after well over 50 years of dealing with the white stuff. I can't tell you how much fun it's going to be looking out the window at it.
@@rugerscout308drove 35 years at FedEx.5: footers,everything.retired at 55..you are gonna love watching inside where it’s warm..I go play with my Dodge Ram 3500 single cab 6.4ltr hemi with blizzak tires and my Vplow.would love to take a whack at that snow.enjoy
53 footers.
Oh ya! ... Oshkosh .. I live just down the road in Wisconsin .. from where that plow is made ... Cheers , thanks for sharing this .........
you know thats a tightly packed drift when a 300+ horsepower 65k lb.truck comes to a stop at full throttle within 50 feet.
Big naturally aspirated six banger, best sound ever :D
Great video man 👍🏽
I live in Cavendish
That was a great storm!
Made me feel 6 again
" where is my crazy carpet"?
I was there in the summer my cousin lives in sourie she tells us all the time about all the snow there lol
That was very satisfying to watch.
Wiiiicked! I believe that was the year they had to use a frontend loader with a massive blower on it to open up the shore road up in cape wolf the drifts were so bad, maybe if they had a few more of these guys they would have made it through haha
School was delayed one hour.
A piece of stick or snow shovel makes a great stabiliser for keeping your camera steady. Cheers.
Give this man beer!
6 pack at least
PEI? Shine for sure.
Amazing plow driver skills.
The sound of being rescued!
thats the sound of shit plowing gear rofl
We need a bigger plow!
Ohhhhhhhhh going to go watch part 2.
Back in the day before they needed backup beepers to tell people they were backing up
"Be an awful place to've left a Honda Fit, wouldn't it?" 😆🤣
Woke up may times to the noise of that screaming Jimmy on the Toronto road.
Ian Ball Only this one is barking, not screaming. I would guess a naturally aspirated Cummins- 250? 280? It may be an older truck repowered to diesel; just a guess.
Ian Ball . Definitely not a screaming jimmy but rather a cummins but it needs a turbo
Why don’t he leave it in lower gear and power through?
Hell just spin out
Momentum, doesnt want to spin and break that old girl. True operator.
Momentum
I love it, I always try to tell the young fellas to use the momentum and weight of the machine to your advantage, not just spin the tires. Help the old girl along!
I guess you don't understand how a v plow works
That was the last year we had any snow! 2014-5. Last year not enough to take out cross X skies.
None so far this year, although we’ve supposed to get about 5c overnight tonight. Dec 12, 2020.
Merry Christmas 🇨🇦🎄 from PEI, Canada.
Hey MaryAnn, Louise Mac is married to my cousin. Glad to meetcha!
you asked for it didnt you, lmao now this year we get 4 storms in three weeks. soooooooo much shoveling.
Old FWD built in Clintonville Wisconsin USA. Similar to the Oshkosh. It’s not a truck. It’s a piece of equipment.
Funny part is that car that “has to get through” sitting back there waiting.
studio.czcams.com/users/videoZ1U-16xxbiU/edit
Remember doing that the seventies with a Adam grader
Isn't it funny how a person sends it just a little more once they realize there is a camera pointed at them :).
Sounds like a Cummins in that old girl. K19?
That ol' truck sounds like shes got a Detroit engine in her. Gotta keep the momentum up. Those are a truck for the stubborn type folks. Lol
FWD - something special from Wisconsin.
I guess it comes right off the the lake. Have to visit your way one day. ON🇨🇦
Lake?
@@brucecreamer Yes that’s a large body of water!! Wherever there is a “lake” or a large clearing the snow is freely able to drift or blow the snow across, hence the large amount of snow to get through. Do you see the large white area... well... that’s a lake!! No charge for the info. 👍🏻
I only live on pei...and that's no lake. You're welcome.
Oh I see nice country! Well we once lived were there was a huge field... and again the snow would always block the road. Have a good evening!
its going to take a week to plow one road
Your right. It is fun for a few minutes. Then it starts to suck. Curbing and other cars.
I lived on county road 1100 in Indiana you would lose your mail box it's a part of life
It is a huge mass of snow and the truck can fight properly.
The old winters are coming back
Is that young Mack powered ? I thought old Cummins at first but right off idle it has that Mack sound......
My place was just down the next hill...we had a ball.
The old Osh Kosh I ran was awesome.
Mainly because it had a Cat engine and not a stinking Detroit
Tis why plows should run all day and night during storms.
Might as well till it’s done storming so you can see what you are doing and it’s not blowing in as fast as you plow it out
take that manual shift trans. out install a allison automatic it will downshift and keep rpm at peak HP on that detroit diesel
Auto? So we can have women drivers?
thats not a detroit
That is a Cummings..
One of the reasons I left the northland 30 years ago.
A snow blower is much better than a plow. 😂😂😂
3:37 was me today getting into the Timmies with my hatchback
Listen to that Detroit power! Why does he keep stopping when he has the momentum to keep going
Yes 2 stroker I recognize
That's a Cummins not a driptroit
No way it's 2 stroker.
You can hear the sound its a two stroke and only two stroke is a Detroit.
@@Boot_185 not a Detroit
They dont have plows with snowblower attachments?
A foot deeper and I don't think he would make it!
D7 with a v plow there done
Those drifts are tall.
Reminds me of the angry ram channel. Lol
What happens when there are two cars trying to pass one another?
one backs up until it can pull off to the side if they meet in a really bad spot, but if they see each other from far away one will pull over and allow the other to go through.
Looks like an old Walter or oshkosh
Island winters have become a joke
It's an old Scot
ya need a walter which would never bog down
It's not the truck it's the driver that's failing
Should of taken a video of this in 2015 2 story snow drifts
What's the rig?,looks like a deuce but that sounds like a detroit screaming away
This must be from the storm in 2015
Take a look at Plowing the Tug Hill 1939
Why does this driver get off the gas as soon as he touches the snow? That truck has 7500 pounds of ballast on the bed and he is using none of it! I have a little new OshKosh than this one and I am not sure I would have stopped once going through this snow!
I work with this guy super driver
Why does he keep letting off of it?
He's running out of traction.
Thank you.
Do these guys just pile it up, even the end of your driveway?.
Bit a snow wha? *Inhale* yeah
Ok! So that was an FWD. Tractioneer. TO GET THE JOB DONE. THEY NEED SOMETHING WITH A LITTLE MORE MIGHT. ITS CALLED. ( A SNOWFIGHTER. THAT'S AS IN; A WALTERS SNOWFIGHTER. 100% traction 100% of the time. Walters is the 1st all-wheel-drive vehicle. In 1964 the state of Pennsylvania ordered them powered by a " GMC gas 702ci v12 engine. 275 hp at 2400 rpm. Thanks. James Francis Wagner. Jr
Why wouldn't they get more HP" 275 is not much or unless iam missing something,out tractor trailers are somewhere around 300 after they finish turning them back and close to 400 on the high side , when they are new.
Great video..could look at this over and over...a guy thing
Looks to me like a bucket machine would be more efficient.
It would but everyone wants out first so u use what u hav. End loaders r very costly
That's badass
Two horrible winters bsck to bsck , the second shattered all records for snowfall here. Hope i never see another like these 2.
Wow you guys can keep all that snow. CRAP!!!
Best part it keeps other’s out like you.
awesome
That a old army truck
That's ALOT of snow
Wasn't the first snow machine ' ski Doo invented by a Canadian fellow so you could all travel over the snow?? Bombardier????
Yes, but then Mr Bombardier’s neighbour Mr Sicard invented the 2-stage snow blower, complete with a giant 4-wheel drive truck to push it. After that Bombardier built small snow machines, the Ski-doo. Ice fishers still use the big old ones.
One a those old time Walter Snow Fighters woulda just hunkered down and walked through that little drifted snowpile. This must be a by gosh Oshkosh (-:\=
Need a Walter snow fighter it would have gone right thru that not stopping once 🙂
Take erh back another 200 yds and absolutely bury the tac!
It’s a old FWD
The good ol detroit sure screams with joy.
Justin Bechtel I don’t know for certain but I’m pretty sure that is not a Detroit.
It's a Cummins
it sounded like a 6v71 but i could be wrong.
@@The_JEB I have a Chevrolet Bison with an 8v71 Detroit, we still use to haul grain, I know the sound of a Detroit from 4 miles on a clear day, it's unmistakable! Lol
People that say plowing snow is fun.....Have NEVER plowed snow...........
Why do they bother with these old V plows....Get a blower and move the snow.
snow day ….go sledding
Bad ass
Good sound...lol
What a place to put a road🤪😂😂🤔
😮🔥👌👍🌲
Мощная техника 👍👍👍
Getting no place fast.
They need a bulldozer with a V-plow
Bulldozer would spin out on the ice and snow. Rubber winter tire on a heavily loaded truck + big torque is the answer.
watch my vid of the snow plow goes out of sight pei
