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.
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.
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.
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".
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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…..
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
Ich staune, dass der grader nicht rutscht ...vier Antriebsräder auf schneefahrbahn, in dem Fall würde ich mit dem durchdrehen der Räder rechnen... Lg.ff.
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.
Вывод - автогрейдер не очень хорошо справляется с работой по очистке снежных перемётов. А вот вертикальный погрузчик со снежным плугом отвалом, вместо ковша может срезать снег пластами по полметра и продвигается вперёд через трудные места более эффективно
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!
Alan Walker74 you clearly don't know what a grader is meant to do. That drive setup was designed and redesigned many many times. It ain't gonna fail unless it's not used right
RcBruderToys it's just a simple question man. I'd like to here from the guy who uses the motor grader and not a jackass like yourself! And if you need to to know why I asked the question is because we use motor graders also for snow removal and I have seen some motor graders with chains on the tires for traction on ice and I was curious to see how the 6wd works on ice
Six wheel drive works great on ice and snow with the proper tires. The problem is when you lose traction on a hill, have to get off the road for trucks, turn around on an incline it can be very sketchy. I use a set of chains on front rear drives for the added traction and security. I you lose traction on a hill and start down backwards the trick is to get it in reverse and keep those wheels turning. Some people just slam on the brakes and that is where the excitement starts. Plus the chains help you keep your speed up when highblading down the logging roads we work on. More efficient, less worry, and there if you need them.
mstessier good info. Definitely don't want to jam on the brakes for sure! Where we work the hills aren't too bad to take off on but we don't have any 6wd graders to work with either
over here i think many use screw in studds for the graders and loaders used wintertime. and winter tyres also of course. not much chains to se on road used equipment.
B*ck Hunter . And when you pick it up with your front end loader where are you going to put it ? ok if you know the road and when you push of into the field you don't get stuck in a ditch
Matthew LaPlant doesn’t look like its having an issue, I was very surprised it didn’t have them on though. I don’t know how much they help on the radial tires, I know on the chevron tires we run the chains normally just sit in the gaps. Still though, better than nothing
Yes the statement 8th gear ? The Champion I drove in Canada had 3 + 2spd ox , it was a small Detroit if I recall correctly,did not have the steam of this one.
Funny to see everyone taking about a snowblower, too slow. And I'm here and wonder why he need a v plow at all. Not that much snow. And yes chain would help but it hard on tire.
I know. These snow blower guys on every plow video drive me nuts. They take forever to do anything. How can somebody drive around 2 or 3 MPH waiting for that thing to throw snow ill never understand.
.? NOT that much snow? Where you see him breaking snow in the beginning there is about 16-18" ! Where he is trying to get throw the drift , at least 4ft of wind packed
Good video to watch on a hot August day ! I would have liked to hear those diesel engines working.
No music needed. Thank u for sharing the video.
Agreed the music is too loud, where's the sound of the snowplough?
Stop complaining about it
That was awesome to watch but would have liked to hear it too... Thanks for sharing
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.
Iowa, land of inbreeders

Cannot tolerate the music. I agree w/ others who commented here. Lose the music, let us hear the vehicle.

It was close to double the size of the county trucks near us.
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
I'll put my vote in with you Manas, I totally absolutely agreed it just ruins the video.
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
Man I miss doing this!! Brings back.great memories!!
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.
They have radial tires and traction control.
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
@@GOODOLD4YZz no u
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
Great video. Dats how you plow snow. Fantastic . Love the editing, music and angles.
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".
I miss running grader. Sweet vid
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.
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
Wow, both grader and operator got a workout ! Perhaps reupload with the sounds of the machine growling... Nice video
That Last One; as Jack Sparrow woulda said, "Was A Real Bugger' to ram thru, yes snow can be packed quite Densely at Times
Sound down on music so one can hear the engine. Other great video.
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
Yup, that was satisfying to watch lol. Nice and clean!
Ouffff la musique est au boute grrr
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
spent many long days & night's doing this back home, actually Lind of miss it
I have seen this type of vehicle in action on Rte. 16 in Carroll County. Awesome sauce!

Perseverance pays off. Great effort!

Watched this in hope I would hear the machine...not techno pop music.
I remember back in 1979 the snow was so deep by my house had toget a caterpillar to dig out the road
It’s always satisfying to watch the snow just roll off the blade
Snowcats would struggle in high snow berms , need the power of the Cat 💪🏼
That’s moving serious snow...great video!!
Cool video, where was this video taken? I’m guessing near Grande Prairie, Ab......
Very enjoyable watching. Amazing what a machine can do
Keep up the good work kevin don't let these trolls bother you.
Damn that’s some work! Awesome scenery though! Ty for the upload
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.
That looked a lot like my driveway!! Seriously, that is a snow moving machine!
nice video except for " music " lets hear the engine and the grader working
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.
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!
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.👍
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.
Grew up in Chicago and hate snow. But I would plow for free with that bad boy. Minus the music.
Snow blower or loader woulda been better but you got it done with what you had
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
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
Does anyone ever make snow ice cream anymore? I thought of that seeing all that untouched snow. Brings back childhood memories.

Do they make snow blowers to mount on graders like that. Never saw anything like this before.

You have a great Job I'm jealouse!!
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!!!
What if you left one side live for mantle s?
How long do they hold up to that duty?
The the 4:00 start to push that amount of snow off of the bank to the left, your only moving it once.
Why hasn't anyone been on that road with a sled before they opened it up ? What a shame 😣
What a BEAST. and it looks like no chains. Is that just logging roads. Does anyone know. Thank you for Plowing.

Only thing missing is Aerial Drone Footage in 4K
Nice job! What about chains?
How does he know where the road is? 😊
wonder how many gallons per hour to feed that. Would hope the truck behind has fuel to refill. Bad place to run out
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...
Once that snow got a chance to settle in the sun. Its hard going...

V Plow très belle vdo
Go to 2.45 and that is where NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE comes from. Gust keep RUNNING
Push the snowbank on your left side over as much as you can then take a little at a time at a 45 degree angle!
Take just as long either way!
You don’t see them being used much here in Ontario Canada, is very cool.
I wish I was that kid when I was a kid
I haven't seen a grader doing anything in a very long time. Good to see this one.
Lose the music please.
Thats a shit load of snow. Were is this at?
Excellent video but the music made me stop watching
Stop complaining. If you don't like
It stay off you tube
Я на таком работаю- аппарат зверь!😁💪👍👍👍👍👍.
This grader v plow setup with flanges and its scraper bar is far superior to the standard 6x6 truck road plows.
wow you need an Oshkosh H Series!
Snow blower needed for the deep stuff.
JAMES Rivis or an end loader. Grab it and get rid of it instead if hit it and let it all fall back
B*ck Hunter . And when you pick it up with your front end loader where are you going to put it ? ok if you know the road and when you push of into the field you don't get stuck in a ditch
In my city, only the pressed snow is cleaned by a grader. Easy snow is cleaned by hand or by Bobcat. Bratsk, Siberia, Russia.
Dude the music.
Chains would make that work a lot better
Matthew LaPlant doesn’t look like its having an issue, I was very surprised it didn’t have them on though. I don’t know how much they help on the radial tires, I know on the chevron tires we run the chains normally just sit in the gaps. Still though, better than nothing
8th gear and go!!! Jk they need a damn blower lmao
Yes the statement 8th gear ? The Champion I drove in Canada had 3 + 2spd ox , it was a small Detroit if I recall correctly,did not have the steam of this one.
Listened again , think he said 5th even so lots of power
Neat vid...what part of Canada?

Chains shake the living shit out of the grader ,also slows you down when in lighter snow
At 2:12 you can see a little kid is the operator!
