We visit towns across upstate and take a look at their heaviest trucks. Walter, Oshkosh, Western Star. V-Plows by Frink! The old iron lives. www.dailydieseldose.com for more!

During the cold war, the Air Force had "high-speed" snow plows for runways. Capable of plowing at 50 plus MPH. The plows were able to "reverse " the blade at the end of the runway for the return trip. The whole plow would lift hydraulically and turn to change the direction of the windrow. I believe they were FWD special builds.

They don't seem to be as popular as they once were. Most towns just spec out a tandem truck nowadays and hope it doesn't get stuck.

@@Dailydieseldose315 you are correct on that! We just bought a tandem plow truck, I plowed with it once and also got stuck. Definitely no Oshkosh, someone that has never plowed with a Oshkosh it’s hard to explain…….

Stop by Town of Washington, NY and ask about their Paystar sander. Straight plow, not a V-plow; they run a lot of dirt roads, and they're not wide enough for a V-plow. But it's a hell of a truck. Watched the driver tow a loaded tractor-trailer out of a snow bank one night. It was quite a sight. 😁

Unless you have experienced it most people have no idea what it takes to clear the roads in the winter . It takes a lot of big equipment . You need to do your next video on the snow blowers that are used . DOT in Lockport has one that uses a 400 Cummings just to run the blower , man can it throw some snow !!!!
