I run a v plow in Manitoba, and the way I do it is to hit once a bit to the left and then to the right. If you don’t widen what you’ve done the plow can act like a giant arrow head and you’ll get stuck. Oh yeah and let off the gas just before you hit the bank so your wheels don’t spin. I keep my wing up at about a 45 degree angle when widening to get the snow moving as far as possible. I don’t feel the need to criticize anyones technique. Do whatever works for you!

This is the time for an old Oshkosh with the cement block on the back and then keep the plow about 3 inched off the ground so when it hits the snow it pushes the front down and then just let her roll! That’s how they used to get it done in Wisconsin years ago. Graders were great for peeling back ice or lighter snow but lacked the power and momentum of the Oshkosh trucks.

8th gear tapped with diff lock and a seat belt good to go

I guess thats why the snow blower attachment was invented for wheel loaders. Especially in these conditions

And all without chains ... thanks for sharing .. Cheers

30yrs ago they buried a grader on my old road I lived on. Tried to plow up a hill 😂 😂 3 county truck's later they pulled it free. Good 4hrs watching that. Ahh memories of being a kid

I can remember them plowing my grandpas road 3/8 of a mile long it would take 2/12 hours.

Needs the snow thrower attachment, maybe a chain on a tire or two, and removal of the backup alarm.

Looks good fun... but how does the driver know where the road is going

The first thing to do is get the road OPEN , then widen going both directions , (old operator here) & on the initial pass stay to the side where the prevailing wind comes from , so that you can , on subsequent passes roll most of the snow to the other side . Looks here like the winds are from operators right . Where I plowed we staked out culverts, rocks, tree stumps etc with a fresh cut stick with the top painted Florescent orange

With the tandem drive machine and a V90 plow I don't like getting stuck in a narrow pass that caves in on me so i widen a little as I go. The end of road was right where I was standing filming so it really wasent that long of a stretch. I did upgrade to a AWD machine this winter..what a differance that makes!

It's hung on a 14G unfortunately to save abuse on the 2006 163H which does have AWD..........when it decides to work. We do have a 4 way front plow and a 10 or 12 foot wing plow on the 163 though, let's you make a lot of mess real quick haha. Still fun and always somethin to learn pulling levers on a blade, especially with snow you learn to control and move material

I think that a grader is a problem. In America you have example John Deer 6M tractors with front end loader. But you missing a modern accessories. Check out FMG - Farm Machinery Group videos.

Needs a deere behind that v plow

Why not put the wing down a bit

Just seems inefficient. I agree with previous comment. It needs a snow thrower attachment of some sort.

@SupermanJH68

This is inefficient. But, these small municipalities and low population counties cannot afford any more than one or two motor graders to plow heavy snow, and maintain the gravel roads 12 months a year. A separate expenditure for a snow blower would be hundreds of thousands of dollars, not including maintenance or training.

More HP 6 wheel drive and chains

What exactly is this person trying to accomplish? Doesn't really look like its a road.

Get a snow blower. Put it In cruise control. Save your clutch save your transmission save your bearings. Get a life? I have a toilet on mind. In Michigan you can be out by yourself at 28 below. I’m 77 yrs won’t put my cheeks to the wind that cold. Drive by sat. In white outs. Snow belt Lake Michigan😂

why don't areas like this use snowblowers not the front of tractors it would go so much faster

This is ND wind blown snow. It is hard as concrete and you have to back up and take a run at it. You make it as far as you can and you spin out and you back up and do it again. This was my old tandem drive machine so it spun out a lot sooner than my new AWD one would now.

Un bon vieux Sicard ferait mieux!

a big tractor would be better. Listen to the Scandinavians. Or a 6x6 loaded Scania Truck.

The operator is so inexperienced, he can’t drive forward or back straight. A v-plow for this much hard pack snow is the wrong tool.

So what is the right tool for the job? You sound like you should be a brain surgeon instead of just a keyboard know it all. It’s probably a small municipality with a small budget. So in fact a grader with a v-plow with a wing for shelving is indeed the right tool for the job Einstein!

@@renislevasseur855 you know the term but not the meaning. V plow is effective on fresh fallen snow, not snow drifted roads hard compacted like this back road. To much resistance on the plow, which is why the operator keeps having to backup to regain momentum. A straight plow is the better solution to ‘shelf’ the snow in sections which you can’t do with a V. Here’s a good example, mid way through the video you’ll understand what I mean. kzread.info/dash/bejne/l35nyttrnrPYl6Q.html

@@CATMAN42ful I never doubted a grader couldn’t do the job, just the guy in the video can't. That said, I could and have ripped through roads just like this in one pass with my Fendt 1050 and a Degelman blade. I’d do it in two passes to widen it... I angle my blade so the snow is pushed to the side. But it really comes down to operator experience. KZread has many grader videos in snow twice as deep push through in a single pass with running starts. I have no doubt you can do it too.
