Nice tutorial. Graderman from Alberta Canada, I am dealing with drifts all the time. Shelving is crucial! I learned a little more from your video today. Thanks 👍
You got that right definitely ready for spring and I’m suer it will be heading our way soon here I will be at Con Expo next week hope to see you there.
Wow what a video that's some pretty harsh snow there that one plow sure does make it easy read that Snow's beating you up pretty hard bounce you all around the cab like that keep up the good work and be safe 🚜
Glad you enjoyed the video and yes you definitely get thrown around in the cab plowing snow makes for a long 12 hour days I will keep up the good work and stay safe thanks for watching Jim!
So I taper all my drifts until they get about 5ft high once there 5ft high I leave a flat bench on them seems to work the best for me thanks for the question and thanks for watching!
I have it in the second hole I also have a 14ft wing blade on this machine over the 12ft on all my other machines the 14ft wing is really nice for benching with.
Operator before me stitched wing from joystick to the four yellow rocker switches. Index is front attachment, middle is inside or wing post, ring is the outside of wing, pinky I rear push beam. What are your thoughts on that vs joystick
I don’t see any problems with him moving it to the yellow rocker switches I personally like it on my mini joystick myself but everyone is a little different I’d probably use the little push buttons but I have my front plow and my angle on them and that works good for me thanks for watching.
I live in Anchorage Alaksa - we have had record setting snow - an the fleet isn't meeting the demands. I don't really mind - they get them clear eventually - It's not the operaters fault that the administration was unprepared. But I do have a quesiton - everytime the grader comes by my house it leaves a 3 foot section of frozen concrete snow bricks. The edge of the property? Why?
Definitely hard to keep up with record setting snows and as far as when the grader comes by and leaves the snow on the edge of the property is they have to have some where to go with the snow from the road so it goes to the edge of the road and the reason it gets like concrete is once you move snow it takes the oxygen out of it and freeze into a solid chunk of snow and ice thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
I operate a 2016 and a 2017140M3 also a 2019 140 with the rack controls them are the cat machines I operate and I operate one 2020 Deere 772GP I operate the two m3 machines and the Deere year round I only blade with the cat 140 with the rack controls.
I prefer taper banking drifts as long as you can once there high enough it’s hard to get a good taper on them I start benching everything. I hope this answers your question thanks for the question and thanks for watching.
White stuff. What's that?... we don't have any of that white powdery stuff here in Longreach tonight. It's about 83°f here. Hope you're looking after yourself Mate. Cheerio. Adrian
Lol Adrian I wish it was nice and warm out but we still got at least another month of winter yet and I’m doing good just ready to be done moving snow for the year.
Lol yeah I must have a sensor for the wheel speed not working I called the dealer and he’s like is it working and I said yeah he’s like let’s not worry about it unless it’s not working and that’s good enough for me.
There are truly four seasons in the upper Midwest: Almost Winter; Winter; Still Winter; and Road Construction! 😂
You got that right lol thanks for watching!
Sounds like my former home of Connectishit.

Thanks and I bet you do have to deal with lots of drifting up there happy to hear you learned from the video thanks for watching!
winter just won't die, we just got hit again, I'm sure its coming your way next
You got that right definitely ready for spring and I’m suer it will be heading our way soon here I will be at Con Expo next week hope to see you there.
Thank you for the video! Nice narration!
Your welcome thanks for watching!

Curiosity question I have always had a flat shelf just wondering if you have tried tapering versus flat which is better always looking to improve
So I taper all my drifts until they get about 5ft high once there 5ft high I leave a flat bench on them seems to work the best for me thanks for the question and thanks for watching!
On your wing what hole do you have it at to get the best reach? Keep up the great videos
I have it in the second hole I also have a 14ft wing blade on this machine over the 12ft on all my other machines the 14ft wing is really nice for benching with.

What blades do you run in the different seasons
I operate a 2016 and a 2017140M3 also a 2019 140 with the rack controls them are the cat machines I operate and I operate one 2020 Deere 772GP I operate the two m3 machines and the Deere year round I only blade with the cat 140 with the rack controls.
What’s your opinion on taper bank vs benching.
I prefer taper banking drifts as long as you can once there high enough it’s hard to get a good taper on them I start benching everything. I hope this answers your question thanks for the question and thanks for watching.

Now I dont feel bad.. your AWD sensor red light is on too!!
Lol yeah I must have a sensor for the wheel speed not working I called the dealer and he’s like is it working and I said yeah he’s like let’s not worry about it unless it’s not working and that’s good enough for me.
