John Deere 624K plowing snow and winging banks back

Winging back banks on a narrow road with John Deere 624K with Craig Manufacturing wing and plow. Wish I had my chains on, it was real icy under the snow.

something about watching the snow curl over is very relaxing and satisfying to me, keep those videos coming, good operator.

[@TB-jj9tu]

Yeah, I would have to agree it’s more fun the more snow you have to push.

[@calebalt1557]

That’s why I plow

[@ironwolfdiver1]

sweet a craig plow system. I worked for them for 14 yrs back when woody owned the shop. what a great man to work for

[@TB-jj9tu]

It’s a great setup. I bought the loader used and the dealer shipped it to the Hartland NB shop and had it installed by Craig.

[@jimmybobby8829]

I like how they actually lift the blade for peoples driveways that’s a great plow driver

[@TB-jj9tu]

I try my best not to push in driveways, you just have to go back and clean them up and put the snow right back where it was. Sometimes you can’t help it if the banks are just to big. The bank at the entrances of driveways are usually frozen harder anyway.

Great video! It helps with the winter time blues....

PLOWING SNOW | WINTER WONDERLAND nice

[@robertmintz63]

That fist driveway I would have swung right turn which would have pushed that high bank back out of the way! One of my duties while working for the township was high banking using Champion grader , front bull blade, 14ft molboard , 14ft wing . The wing was post set up & not hydraulic like yours.

[@TB-jj9tu]

That was just a first pass, most of the road gets two passes second pass cleanup is when everything gets shoved back. First pass is just to get the bulk of the bank out of my way. I wasn’t running my tire chains either so I was probably being cautious about getting stuck.

[@hirofuji]

Good! Snow removal in Japan is also amazing. Please watch it.

[@bogdonkey2858]

Great video!!

[@TB-jj9tu]

Thanks for watching, sorry for the poor quality I set it to load the video in 720p but apparently it didnt

[@bogdonkey2858]

It was HD when i watched it so no harm.

[@robbiegraham9536]

Ok so I know that this is called shelfing and the idea is to cut the banks back so during the next storm you can put more snow there but my question is why not just wing it all the way down and push back farther?. Is it so the banks aren't so high?

[@TB-jj9tu]

There are a couple reasons I leave some bank behind. 1 is that the road is already plowed to the edge so scraping down to the ground means I have to deal with what ever is on the ground like rocks, stumps or just small humps in the ground. 2 it leaves a short bank so who ever plows next knows where the edge of the road is.

[@robertmintz63]

TB And so that any road traveler knows where the edge is ! I worked for the township in Canada 71-74 before the snow we cut & placed 1" poles (ends painted orange )at culvert ends, & rocks, stumps to avoid damages

[@danbo99]

Very clear vid ! Which cam do you use ?

[@TB-jj9tu]

I use. GoPro Hero 6 and edit on my iPhone 7 Plus.

[@bryandinardi2519]

Do you push it back so people can see over the snow banks better or so future snow has a place to go?

[@TB-jj9tu]

We push back banks to make room for the next storm. I will push back banks at intersections so traffic can see oncoming traffic.

[@HondaMechanic1]

HAHAHA ... They don't lift the wing going past my house after a heavy snow or storm I usually have 2-3 foot snowplow ridge at the end of my driveway ..

[@joelventola]

Same... so annoying to push it off with a shovel...

[@markstengel7680]

I enjoyed watching today 12/25/19🎅🎄 Where approximately is this ? Live in LV NV miss the snow somewhat. Be well. 🚜👍

[@TB-jj9tu]

It is in Maine, thanks for watching

[@danbo99]

You do a very good job ! Next vidéo if you can, tale shoots of thé intérior un ordre to vive us an idéa of thé Dashboard.... Alain it si a very Nice vidéo ,

[@TB-jj9tu]

Thanks for the compliment. Next time I’m out with the loader I’ll try to get some shots from in the cab.

[@ML-lg4ky]

What part of the world was this? Nice work👍

[@TB-jj9tu]

Western Maine, US

[@nick-io2ke]

TB is this close to Sanford Maine?

[@TB-jj9tu]

I am actually about 3 hours north of Sanford, literally in the middle of nowhere.

[@nick-io2ke]

TB it's nice to get away

[@maint_guy6977]

benching is what its called

[@buckhunter1378]

Benching is a good name, but never heard of that before. Always by state and county, is winging.

[@danbo99]

Ils it from Canada ?

[@TB-jj9tu]

The plow and wing were built and installed in Canada but I live in the US in the state of Maine.

[@bradsmith7106]

What's the name of the company that makes those blades and wings?

[@TB-jj9tu]

Craig Manufacturing

[@ostengrotell2405]

💪💪👍🇫🇮🇸🇪🇺🇦❤️

[@sboring4441]

why not fold the wing in and just use the front blade.

[@TB-jj9tu]

Because that wing is pushing snow where the machine can’t go like out over ditches. If I was just using the front plow I would be backing up a lot more often and getting stuck in ditches on rocks and stumps and hitting a lot more tree limbs with my cab. The banks are already on the edge of the road.
