For those people wanting to know why the grader went down the center of that snowbank, you should listen to the two operators on the radio at the 2-minute Mark. The truck driver asked the grader operator if he should try to move the large snowbank. The Grader operator told him no, he would split it up first. Therefore, it sounds as if it probably would have been too much for the truck to easily plow through.
@@pauliewalnuts7088 pretty easy.. truck has fixed flow that pushes the snow in one direction.. it would slow the truck down and start making it drift to the snow bank. the grader has a v plow so the snow will got both ways then the truck can come and hit each win row separately
was walking the road in caddilac michigan and the snow was one foot plus. the driver picked me up and holy shit. what a ride. he must have been throwing snow 60 feet. my brother in law was in the ditch and the guy said. you want to see me bury him till spring?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Must be government snowplow drivers on overtime. Step 1, first driver in the truck clears the snow, the road looks pretty good. Step 2, driver in the grader, redeposits the snow from the area the truck just cleared. Step 3, refer to Step 1. I rest my case!! 😆
Right? Makes perfect sense to me too. If you want the snow to end up off to both sides, push it into the middle. These are the same people who brought us the $500 hammer and the $3200 toilet seat. And space shuttles that cost $5 billion apiece and crash every other time they take off. I suspect Brandon's behind the wheel. Let's go Brandon!
Would never be able to push all the snow if we worked from the inside out. We work from the outside in. Grader with the v plow makes the first pass then the plow truck comes behind to push and throw the snow. Then we take another swipe with the v plow to cut out more snow working our way to the Center every time the plow truck throws it all to the outside. And yes I am the grader operator in this.
Cool video but as the comments show there are more Q then A. I could speculate but it would help if the poster could give us some details of why the snow seems to be moving around VS blowing pushing it well to the side.
To slow to blow the snow. We need to open the road 80ft wide. Plow truck is way faster. Just use the grader to split out the snow or it would pull the plow truck in.
Is this on a big lake? And are they moving the snow around so the sun doesn't hit parts of the ice for to long? Or is the road developing cracks and it's getting moved over?
All gps. Guys in a haglund amphibious vehicle check the ice thickness and mark the road with sticks and black garbage bags about every half a klick so we can see them.
The only diamond mine I know of that need to go thru snow are siberia and canada. Those roads go over lakes, so it isn't Ice melt solution, maybe a gas tank?
the tire on the left is for road building the tire on the right is for road maintenance They must of had a flat and changed one tire just to keep going .
If you don’t understand what it is they’re doing, or why, you’ve not ever worked around large snow amounts or wind packed snow. It may seem silly to the untrained person… nice work guys
Exactly. Some people will never learn. Just look at how fast the grader bogged down from high RPM to a lower, more powerful, rate. The truck wouldn't have made it 10 feet in that.
Grant Christopherson yes, but why did the guy (Grader driver) plow right down the middle of the plowed snow from the big white truck? If anything he should've pushed it all to one side!
Let's see...the plow truck pushes the snow into a windrow, and then the grader goes down the windrow spreading it out into two windrows, instead of off to the side...have I missed something?
pretty obvious most of these comments are from people who don't have a clue as what is going on,maybe should just shut up and maybe learn something cheers
Second most important lesson: if you suck at geometry and have no common sense and can't pour piss out of a boot even if the directions are written on the heel, go work at the post office and leave the snow plowing to folks who don't think it's a new day every time they blink.

that would be correct answer. too much for the truck
Still dont make sense

"Clearing the Ice Road to the Diamond Mines" a better title?

Nice job💪

@@davepenn9181 Typical right-wing nonsense. Let's go morons!
They need to do a show with these guys! Not a soap opera on the drivers that drive on them. These guys have a much more interesting point of view !
Now ya got 2 piles? Must be some magic I don't see. I've been scraping ice rinks all wrong it seems.

Some guys never had to plow deep concrete drift snow out of a really wide roadway before.
Just out of curiosity... what exactly was it you tall weer trying to do ?
Year speeling as goot

i thought he was clearing snow but clearing ICE thats impressive! How does he get to the ice?
I like it great video! I subbed up for you
these are the true ice road truckers
Looks cold but beautiful, where was this snow plow work being done.?
On the ice road to the diamond mines in the NWT.
Why the S curve? Weak spot in the ice? Do you also salt?
Is this on a big lake? And are they moving the snow around so the sun doesn't hit parts of the ice for to long? Or is the road developing cracks and it's getting moved over?
The1979814 there plowing roads for vehicles to drive on
You folks don't need plows, you need snow blowers, send that stuff in to the next county and won't have to deal with those piles of snow.
Where is this ? Brrr cold. Nice Presentation 👍
I think northern Canada
Very cool! Where is this?
Looks like McKay Lake but not 100 % sure.
Looks like up on McKay Lake. Been up and done those roads for 12 years.

How do you know where the road is? Or do you make your own road?

Splendid video
Бочка сзади это топливный бак?))
Just curious, what is in the big tank on the back of the plow truck ?
garthks fuel
Liquid salt tank
The only diamond mine I know of that need to go thru snow are siberia and canada. Those roads go over lakes, so it isn't Ice melt solution, maybe a gas tank?
@SC EM Maybe water to make the road smoother?
@@watchthe1369 I think it's in the Northwest Territories east of Yellowknife
What is this? Creating a third lane?
mixed match front tires???
the tire on the left is for road building the tire on the right is for road maintenance
They must of had a flat and changed one tire just to keep going .
More schools should get their students involved in projects like this.
How not to plow snow?
@@pauliewalnuts7088 yes
No more ice road truckers. What happened to the show?
Why are you ruining the windrow?
Sounded to me like it was to make it more manageable for the plow truck
Good thinking.
got to be a French canadian
А что покрышки то разные спереди?
Что было то и дали , как в России
VERY SCENIC WIDE OPEN SHOT ! ! !
Man this guy comes in and makes a damn mess.
why does the grader have 2 different front tires
One ice and one snow
MasterWitchDoctor lol!
Availability
cuz ya take what they got when ya need it.
This is how they plow snow in Florida

This doesn't make much sense.
Not one bit
must be one of the worst snow plows i've ever seen. the hell was this guy doing with the grader?
The truck would not be able to move the snow.
Grant Christopherson yes, but why did the guy (Grader driver) plow right down the middle of the plowed snow from the big white truck? If anything he should've pushed it all to one side!
BigBoss 429 the grader couldn't move that windrow of snow at the beginning by itself,you can hear the way the engine Boggs down a little.
That was the best way to push snow- no other traffic to interfere!
I did this for 32 years at the State Hwy Dept !

Grader splits what’s too big for the truck.

The guy with the grader was doing no good now somebody has to plow again if not twice

*me*: waiting 2 minutes to see the plow from smaller distance
*plow*: almost there

not a grader, truck
