My community uses a plow, similar to this on our sidewalks. They alternate use between the plow and a large snowblower device as well. I kinda prefer the snowblower because the blower won't leave big piles of snow across the ends of the driveway. Either way, it's quite an efficient way to keep the sidewalks open.
Totally agree! I haven't had the cahnce to operate one of the new ones, but the town where I used to work still has a 1978 sw48, and it was definitely the most effective (and most fun) sidewalk plow in the fleet! Where do you work? Im guessing it's in Ontario somewhere, from the "407".
The official weather station in my town is located at its eastern end and its lowest elevation. We average 208" of snow per year, a little over 17 feet, at that station. The western edge of town, about 400-500 feet higher in elevation gets much more, about 1 1/2 times that amount. Snow is not removed from our streets or sidewalks, that it, it is not loaded on a truck and hauled away. The town has snow storage easements on every street side and sidewalk side property in town. The snow in my front yard can get to about the 2 1/2 story level on my house, which is 2 stories plus a loft, so it is nearly 3 stories high. It has gotten high enough to have a few feet of snow above the second story deck sliding glass door. Our sidewalks are cleared by a blower, sometimes called rotary, "plow" mounted on something just a little bit bigger than a Bobcat loader. It is then blown onto the lawns and landscaping of properties where the snow from the street also ends up. It is plowed to the side of the road and then removed by very large loaders with big blowers mounted on them. Sometimes the plows and sidewalk blowers have to move pretty fast to keep enough momentum in order to successfully remove the snow, especially that falling in wet storms. The dry stuff isn't a problem and is quite simple. I live in the Sierra Nevada of California.
Hi! Would you send us your contact information so we can find out a little more from you before we contact the city of Sierra Nevada? Please write to marie-elaine.dion@prinoth.com Cheers!
@@marie-elainedion8762 The Sierra Nevada is a mountain range, not a city. There are three major mountain ranges in the continental U.S.: starting in the east there is the Appalachians, then there are the Rocky Mountains, the southern end of which is located in northern NEW Mexico and the northern end in Canada and finally the Sierra Nevada, the southern end located at Tehachapi Pass in southern California and ending near Lake Almanor, south of Lassen Volcanic National Park in northern California. I'm sorry I cannot correspond directly with you due to security concerns. Over the years I've received threats on TH-cam from individuals who have strongly disagreed with some of the comments I've written. I cannot share what town in the Sierra Nevada I live in either. The way in which the snow is removed from the streets and sidewalks in town is correct. The amount of snow that we average is actually higher, but the exact number could enable someone to find out where I live. I regret that I have to remain anonymous, but unfortunately I have learned the hard way that it is necessary.
@@wannabetowasabe Hi, ok I understand. Thanks for all the info. You'd think I'd know that about the mountain range, huh? Ok we'll just see if there are towns we can connect with, no problem. Cheers!
North St. L County, MO, &/or East St. Louis, Illinois could use one of these year-'round----esp. on hot summer weekends---to keep the streets open for 'business-as-usual', lol...!!! A-rather intimidating litttle-foe, it would be, indeed.....
If you drove that sidewalk plough that fast in my city it wouldn't take long to damage it or the properties along the walk. Its just plain stupid to drive that fast. some sidewalks get raised by the frost and you would be hitting those as well.
Not to be rude, but our neighborhood uses a tiny John Deer with a small v-plow and it works through a foot or more of snow. Im also sure what I described is alot cheaper than this beast!
This is extremely heavy duty, designed and built for long periods of continuous use in punishing and unforgiving conditions. The John Deere is not as rugged and would not handle the rigors of this machine.
You could buy 6-8 compact wheel loaders for the price of this, no offense but tracked vehicles may have better ground pressure but they also cost large amounts to repair just like skid steers and other hydraulically driven drive trains.
Don't see the ROI for one of these for at least 8-10 yrs & I doubt too many municipalities would go for something that pricey unless it was running 24/7 and even then.... Way too specialized. You can buy a lot of Kubota's, Deere's or Case-IH's for $185K + maintenance spares.
I've seen the specs on the Ventrac and they're good, as is the price. I just traded in my Bobcat skid-steer on a track steer which impressed me - same attachments mount on the plate. Supposed to be delivered next week in time for the next snow storm...IF you believe the forecasts. The suspension isn't as bouncy as a Prinoth looks to be but I can live with that. Also, the dealer network is a lot better so far than a Prinoth.
Well, hell, they've got a LOT bigger budget that you or I...! And it comes out of the public pocketbook too which means they can overspend and get away with it. I'm very sure it's a good machine but just not what I can afford - I'd have to make a profit whereas govt agencies are under no such constraints.
Most of our videos are made in Canada where sidewalk configurations are different from the ones in the US. We use snow blowers more often here. However, we do have the V-blade accessory available. If you would like more information about the SW4s, please write to sales.na@prinoth.com Thank you for your interest in our products.
I just bought one of these just because i think they are COOL to play around with.
💪
Oh Man, I want one of these. It would be the official Old Iron Dave Mobil for bad weather. A lot of $$$, I'm sure, so forget it.

pretty cool handy little things.

Wouldn't mind having one of these on my farm
you need one badly.
Them are some bad little snow devil's that would be a hoot to run.

Haha, my mistake! Cool, I'm north of Toronto, on Georgian bay. Lots of lake-effect snow to clear, lol. Take care!
Everyone talking about how they want one......$112,000 (est. Used) It's all yours....Enjoy💪
Cute little thing
Like the old Oliver's ind cletracs only different how cool is that
Thats how we get it done here in Montreal.
Interesting,but the intro showed Bombardier ski doo, the inventor of this type of vehicle.
We surely could have used one of these last night and the night before--would have saved us some freezing walking around our buildings with shovels!

A-rather intimidating litttle-foe, it would be, indeed.....
looks like fun to me !
OMG it`s so cuuuuuuuuuuuuute ^^
I would like one of them
The music reminds me of some Railroad Tycoon game lol.
Cool
very nice car, your ad can I do for Turkey🇹🇷
Bombardier and yes they do drive fast and expect you to give way
do they make bigger blades? I'd put a small box blade on that for condo developments
also how big a price tag for this gem?
I'd like to do that while listening to heavy metal.
I play that game sidewalk plows in the road and I plow back on the sidewalk
Snow minion with porn music.

Very good point you beat me to it LOL
never saw a sidewalk raise
The plows do fuck up the sidewalks where I live
canvids1 I ripped up an entire sidewalk with a plow truck once I just said it wasn't me
Ryan Michaud your boss wants you in his office first thing on monday!
Pretty pricey. I figure a Side by Side ATV/UTV with Camoplast tracks and a shovel or snowblower attachment would be a little cheaper.
Chica Chica wow wow

we have those too in Montreal as well as the SW 4S

Mine his 1975 and still push every snow even if the engine a bit weak still does Montreal St Leonard ares

They clear your roads? And sidewalks?
Exactly :)
Where is this!!
Might be a tad bit of overkill for my driveway....:)
+Josh Dukes But seemingly a lot of potential fun...

ShastaPacificRoad you can get a UTV even cheaper and still have plenty of productivity

Yep, neighbor has one but he doesn't know how to run it.... In the shop more often than working.
These things are all over the place in eastern Canada.

Montreal City????🇨🇦💥😜✌️
Where are the "V" blades?

It seems that they are moving snow from the sidewalks and edges of the roads so that it can blown into a truck and hauled away.

lssz@0 Osama pawl
SW 4S Strong but small !
I want one
How much does one of these cost?
One used for demo with 50 hours on meter was sold for $178,890.30 including HST
How about that porn music with that scraper,, yes that goes together like surgilube and sand

Класс :-):-D
Silly music
Does anyone really walk on the sidewalks, especially in winteer ????

+SgtDrDeath It's strictly for sidewalks, so I don't see it needing to be bigger or less toy like.
The rest of the world yes.. (there is more to the world than just Merica)
