Dad Drove a 1950’s Cat Grader..Brother and I went along with him at times…Loved watching Dad “Camber” the front wheels depending on the Push….Big Snows Dad would put the “V Plow” on…
I know exactly what you mean. My Dad ran a 64 Galion for NYSDOT with the V and 1 way blades. I didn't ride along in winter as they were 12 hour shifts but all summer every chance I got. 30 odd years ago I seen it for sale but couldn't afford it nor a place to put it.
We may be getting less snow now, but I also think we've gotten MUCH MUCH MUCH better at clearing snow as well. It looks here like they used to wait for a storm to pass before they went out to clear the roads. Now days, we clean the roads continuously during a storm, so that it never builds up so much like this video.
Decades ago when growing up in the snowbelt region, our city had a fleet of 4x4 Austin-Western graders w/ both "V" plows and wing plows. For the most part they were adequate in keeping the city's avenues, streets and alleyways clear. Front end loaders occasionally came out to clear the interactions where large pileups of snow had accumulated. Thanks for sharing this video: it reminds me of why I headed south.
I am watching this, on a tropical Pacific island in the Philippines, where people have never seen snow in their lives! Seeing is believing! Being from the Boston area, along with a buddy from Buffalo, NY, snow is one of the main reasons we live here now. Telling people about snow doesn't go very far. This video works!!!
Thanks Caterpillar, for advocating roadsalt. I hate the stuff. What I like is random days off, sand when you've got to go, and cars that don't get rusted. Mention salt again, and I'll say a few nice things about Pettibone and New Holland.
Caterpillar does a snow job! Bad pun,but appropriate! Doing the photography in those conditions,really separates the men from the boys! Great show in difficult conditions,thank you 👏! Thank you 😇 😊!
A place where I used to work had both a 922B and a 944 Cat wheel loader, and I got to run them both. The 944 had both a grapple bucket and timber forks, while the 922B just had the standard bucket.
My son in law pushes snow when we have it at an airport. Parking areas, not the runways. He uses a Cat rubber track loader and 2 pickups with blades and salt boxes. Good $ for him.
If you don't know the difference between a loader and an excavator you shouldn't have made this clip, and I don't think 992 loader s were made in the 60s
Don't even see snow around the country like this anymore. I always loved these videos
One of the best musical soundtracks I've heard to date on these old industrial films. Such a classic sound...
I've been trying to find out what this genre is called because its very nice
Yes! Same here!
@@ryancrummy4114 Light orchestral production music I would say

A refreshing video during this hot, hot summer.
Yes! That was our intention in publishing it now !! Glad you "get it"!
I really enjoy the snow plowing music. We play the exact same music in Kentucky coal mining.
saw a wide variety of snow removal Buffalo '78...it was a wild time..bars never closed..lol..thx for stirring long lost memories..
I remember graders like that coming up Hwy 108 in the spring when my family lived up there for the winter.

The Austin Western our township had was front wheel drive in addition to rear drive.

I remember doing the snow removal with a 922 w/bucket for the Village I lived in in the early 70's. Got old fast with very little heat.
I’m sure everybody will remember as a kid wishing for days like this when snow would be enough to cause school to be closed.

Thank you ❤

Lisa, I was born in 1958, (I am 66), and growing up, I prayed for "school bus stoppers"!

Just imagine being in 1 of those old semis, crappy heater,cold seeping in thru every crack,tuff fellas
12:05 "A Farm to Market Road" Somewhere in Texas, maybe my patch up in the Panhandle. I delivered the newspaper in the 70's in that snow.
This sounds like an add for Caterpillar.
It was!! Cat paid to produce it.
Northeast Kansas has had very little snow or freezing temps for the last 20 yrs. At 71 yrs old, I find this snow problem a little unnerving.
8:10 couldn't find a union operator to do that.😅
We don't have to do that, we're in Florida. 😅🌴🏝
No, you just have hurricanes, brutal heat and humidity, and deadly reptiles of all kinds. I'll take snow and cold any day.
It's snow problem at all
LOL!
Ice see what you did there...!
Perhaps 70 with identical humidity humidity at Thanksgiving is somewhat alright.
Was this early 60s or was this a 1950s video?
1960's video.
We just do not get snows like that any more here in the Ohio valley
Nor up here in Ontario, Canuckistan.
thumb 👍
Climate change solved the snow problem.
dont jinx it, we will probably get big blizzards this winter
Is Peter Graves the narrator?
Peter Allen ?
I dont think id seen a cat loader thats not articulated 🤔
1960s? That’s a decade. Tell us the year.
There is no significance to the year.
Judging by the 1950's-esque music and predominance of late 50's automobiles, I'd say this video is from the early 60's.
If you don't know the difference between a loader and an excavator you shouldn't have made this clip, and I don't think 992 loader s were made in the 60s
Global warming snow
