I've plowed with a Cat Blade in Iowa in heavy snow when I was younger. There hard to get stuck and once stuck, there hell to get back out often. Powerful machines.
I know they used to have Dozers with V plows and wings on both sides in my area years ago but they were pretty much Phased out in the 50”s and replaced by Oshkosh trucks.
Here in Missouri, where we rarely get a snow of more than 5 or 6 inches, they use road graders on the roads and run them with chains. They don't have the v-plow, just the regular blade, but it shocks me how many places with more snow don't have chains on the graders.
Maybe graders have not the balls they had when I was a kid on the farm (Cortland County NYS) but when graders with plows came over our rural road pushing 3 or 4 feet of snow, the just pushed through it. Maybe I was not in the right places but I never saw one ram through a drift and we always had a huge on in front of our house. Of course memories from the 40s and 50s may be a bit fuzzy.
It could have been that the ones you saw as a kid had tire chains and all-wheel drive. There was a brand of grader with all-wheel drive in those days and they were used more for snow-plowing than anything else, but I haven't seen one since those days.
Big drifts we dug with big front end loader. A lot of fun on a straight road and 18"-24" of powder snow and a good v plow! Makes a beautiful rooster tail when hauling ass!
Heavy deep snow like that you need a weighted down Oshkosh then hit it with the V plow about 3 to 4 inches off the ground so the snow pushes the blade down and gives the front all the traction it needs. I can remember driving with my Dad and the pipe on his went through the hood. There were times it would be glowing from the motor working so hard. Cement block on back of truck no dump box. It was close to double the size of the county trucks near us.
In the 1970s when we had real snow in Western Canada, R.Angus Caterpiller would mount a V-plow on the 627 Twin Engine Motor-Scrapers for the Countys. You could plow any snow at 40mph due to the massive mass and traction and horsepower of these machines. They were unstoppable! Once cut an empty buried VW Beatle in half. Also buried a cameraman filming the ad video for the units. Very cool.
That's the type of rig rolling by the farm back in the day in Eastern Wa. Welcome sound hearing it try to get through the drifts up on the road after being stuck out there for several days.
Dusty Fortier they do have a decent amount of snowfall however where is the grader is sitting looks like a drift to me, drifts pack really really hard and can be a bitch to get through!
Need an old school Oshkosh with a cement block on the back to get it done! We have a lot of pics of my Dad plowing in Wisconsin in the 60's and early 70's.
Steve Lutzke. Exactly! I grew up in Syracuse and vividly recall in the late 70s and early 80s, the city had a fleet of these short wheelbase diesel powered military-type plow rigs, that had a huge concrete block that was chained down in the rear deck
@@Padoinky : I was stationed at Ft. Devons , Mass. in the winter of 82'-83 ' ... We got a Whopper of a storm late that winter , that lasted roughly 2 1/2 days . Our regular semi's didn't leave the motorpool but , on our back fence -line , we had 5 ea. Vietnam era M52A2's and M818 5 ton semi's outfitted with snow-blades , huge concrete blocks on 4X4 wooden crosspieces chained over the 5th - wheel , and tire chains fore and aft ..... Canvas cab -roofs and no heaters ..... We went on 12 hour shifts for the duration of that storm ..... Powder -snow up to my hips , digging my car out of the parking lot ... I was Drenched .... Had to take a shower and change uniform before I even Left to head out to the motorpool .... The on-post roads were only partially plowed by then .... It's a wonder I got to work on time ...... ha ha
@@deernutOO Sheboygan county still maintains a fleet of maybe 6 heavy Oshkosh trucks with the concrete blocks on the back. All have side plows an v plows available for them. The sad thing I don’t think they have any drivers that really know how to drive them. Getting two wheels on the shoulder to push the heavy drifts back…. When it’s to heavy they just send the blower out to clear it out. Miss those days…..
The images are just great, nice sun covering the snow in the forest, it looks just awesome! And by the way i even loved the music! Thanks for sharing those moments of winter that i love
100% agree why do people thing that stupid music or music at all makes videos better. I'd definitely rather hear the grader working and the plow scraping.....
@@paulthesoundguy1 The music A) too loud and B) prevents hearing the sound of the plow equipment and the environment, which is what most people want to hear.
I enjoyed watching this video, but could not mute it fast enough. Very disappointed that the actual sound of the plow was replaced by that annoying "music".
Corked up D6 would open that up. Doesnt look like much more than 3' of snow. Opened up lots of roads in the mountains for drill rigs with em. Cool rig for the prairies though
ya this is the shit we deal with on our logging roads, take off for a week to do a diffrent cut when we get back to haul the wood, its work for 24 hours to get the road open with a D7 and a grader.
When it's really cold out in the morning when the machine is warming up I'd take a couple five gallon buckets of water and throw it on the plow to create a thin layer of ice and the snow plows off beautifully. Do the wing too. Hot water works best.
What a great video, who is that lucky boy who gets to ride in the road grader? Tell the operator he shouldn't scratch hi nuts on video! Lol thanks for posting!
No music needed. Thank u for sharing the video.
I'll put my vote in with you Manas, I totally absolutely agreed it just ruins the video.
Good video to watch on a hot August day ! I would have liked to hear those diesel engines working.
Having a piece of equipment like this is great,but having a driver like this is priceless.well done.very impressive.
yes very good needs chains too

Iowa, land of inbreeders

That was awesome to watch but would have liked to hear it too... Thanks for sharing
With the right tools,any job can be done.No single axle truck or even tandem truck would got through that drift like this grader did.👍
I miss running grader. Sweet vid
Agreed the music is too loud, where's the sound of the snowplough?
Wow, both grader and operator got a workout ! Perhaps reupload with the sounds of the machine growling... Nice video

They have radial tires and traction control.
Man I miss doing this!! Brings back.great memories!!
Keep up the good work kevin don't let these trolls bother you.
I agree with the others. Would be nice to hear the grader. Beautiful day though huh? Love those kind of days way up north where I live

This is the coolest setup I've ever seen on a grader!
Pretty much a standard setup on the Canadian prairies for clearing all the gravel roads
Great video. Dats how you plow snow. Fantastic . Love the editing, music and angles.
Cannot tolerate the music. I agree w/ others who commented here. Lose the music, let us hear the vehicle.

Hank Henry bet the cameraman didn't think it was so cool lol
What a great idea! Fill the bowl with salt sand and let it trickle out and get rid of more VW 's.
Good stuff man. I've moved snow but not like that. Holy crap, that is some serious snow!
Жондир лучший автогрейдер на нашей планете.

Damn that’s some work! Awesome scenery though! Ty for the upload
Yup, that was satisfying to watch lol. Nice and clean!
It amazes me how far the tire technology has come. 25 years ago that would have been a job for tire chains and weights.
Absolutely amazing ,chains would shake the bejeepers out of the machine plus the extra work of constantly repairing cross links
It’s always satisfying to watch the snow just roll off the blade
OMG.. such heavy plowing of snow. Awesome video.
That’s moving serious snow...great video!!
Cool video. Nice to see you still get real snow accumulation somewhere on this planet. Lol
Dusty Fortier they do have a decent amount of snowfall however where is the grader is sitting looks like a drift to me, drifts pack really really hard and can be a bitch to get through!
It's like this every year where I live. And not so nice to see. Thank you Jesus, for making our D5.
Love the snow! Here in Portland, Oregon we don't get much but last year was awesome. Hoping for another good snow year coming up.
are you kidding, get a run at it and through that snow. 37 years of MN snow
Portland is a sht hole

Agree, in the 60's I was the wing man in our Township Oshkosh with the big V plow.. had some good snows back then.. but not anymore.

Sound down on music so one can hear the engine. Other great video.
The images are just great, nice sun covering the snow in the forest, it looks just awesome! And by the way i even loved the music! Thanks for sharing those moments of winter that i love
I have seen this type of vehicle in action on Rte. 16 in Carroll County. Awesome sauce!
Робота просто клас .
Perseverance pays off. Great effort!
spent many long days & night's doing this back home, actually Lind of miss it
Grew up in Chicago and hate snow. But I would plow for free with that bad boy. Minus the music.
Grandissimo!!Questo sì che si può chiamare spartineve.💪💪👏👏
Please dont put musics ... the video would have been great with natural sounds
I wholeheartedly agree. Because of this annoying music, I stopped watching it
100% agree why do people thing that stupid music or music at all makes videos better. I'd definitely rather hear the grader working and the plow scraping.....
I agree , is there some mind control machine out there , that morons use this , tekno euro trash music
Why don't all of you stfu it's his video if you don't like it feel free to mute or turn the volume down damn so many trolls these days just stfu
@@GoodOleDayZz no u
Road patrol out doing work. We buried ours so bad one year in a drift that it took 2 hours to dig it out of the snow drift with the 510D backhoe!!!
Very enjoyable watching. Amazing what a machine can do
Snowcats would struggle in high snow berms , need the power of the Cat 💪🏼
Gd video but why the music ruined this video
The music is cool and I enjoyed it.....stop complaining
@@paulthesoundguy1 The music A) too loud and B) prevents hearing the sound of the plow equipment and the environment, which is what most people want to hear.
Yes yes yes your so right....I should just buy knee pads and be like all the other sheep in the world....OR
That looked a lot like my driveway!! Seriously, that is a snow moving machine!
That Last One; as Jack Sparrow woulda said, "Was A Real Bugger' to ram thru, yes snow can be packed quite Densely at Times
You have a great Job I'm jealouse!!
Time to bring in the loader for that drift!
No, the operator needs a little coaching. Drive into drift then lift plow as high as it will go... breaks up drift , lets you move farther.
@@kennethhamabata2338 No, he's doing it right.
And then you are stuck Kenneth
Ouffff la musique est au boute grrr
I enjoyed watching this video, but could not mute it fast enough. Very disappointed that the actual sound of the plow was replaced by that annoying "music".
Сзади на рыхлителе лежат ножи перфорированные, для снежного наката👍🙂
Does anyone ever make snow ice cream anymore? I thought of that seeing all that untouched snow. Brings back childhood memories.
Only thing missing is Aerial Drone Footage in 4K
Dude the music.
Snow blower or loader woulda been better but you got it done with what you had
Beautiful!
Приезжай к нам в Сибирь! Другое кино будет тут будет. Посмотрим на твоё мастерство.
nice video except for " music " lets hear the engine and the grader working
V Plow très belle vdo

Музон класс техника тоже супер
Я на таком работаю- аппарат зверь!😁💪👍👍👍👍👍.
Nice video. Thanks.
You don’t see them being used much here in Ontario Canada, is very cool.
I remember back in 1979 the snow was so deep by my house had toget a caterpillar to dig out the road
that f'ing music good god.
wow you need an Oshkosh H Series!
Wow that's awesome 😎
This is so satisfying
Good operator.
I wish I was that kid when I was a kid
looks about like the snow plows on trains. They make the snow explode!
that was awesome
When it's really cold out in the morning when the machine is warming up I'd take a couple five gallon buckets of water and throw it on the plow to create a thin layer of ice and the snow plows off beautifully. Do the wing too. Hot water works best.
Syner klass sila 👍👍💪💪💪
Watched this in hope I would hear the machine...not techno pop music.
Эт не наши ДЗ-98. Класс!!!
Go to 2.45 and that is where NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE comes from. Gust keep RUNNING
What a BEAST. and it looks like no chains. Is that just logging roads. Does anyone know. Thank you for Plowing.
Dream job
Beautiful
More videos like this please.
What a great video, who is that lucky boy who gets to ride in the road grader? Tell the operator he shouldn't scratch hi nuts on video! Lol thanks for posting!
that looks like Taylor...good kid...
GET THAT SNOW!
Cool video, where was this video taken? I’m guessing near Grande Prairie, Ab......
great video and last name
They need a powerful giant monster tractor or truck to plow ahead like butter cut.
don't mess with DEERE brony!
In my city, only the pressed snow is cleaned by a grader. Easy snow is cleaned by hand or by Bobcat. Bratsk, Siberia, Russia.
Perfekt video 👍
AWESOME COOL MUSIC THANKS
Once that snow got a chance to settle in the sun. Its hard going...
They're going to need a sno-go out there to knock back those deep drift banks
Red Baron after the road was opened I used the 14ft wing hanging of the side , moved it back about 12ft
This grader v plow setup with flanges and its scraper bar is far superior to the standard 6x6 truck road plows.
Inch by inch, foot by foot life is a cinch
Awesome
Do they make snow blowers to mount on graders like that. Never saw anything like this before.
