Hardest working father-daughter duo at the end of the world ! Fun to see the old V-plow in action. It's from the state where I was born and raised.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

thank you, just having fun. Kansas is a well known place but not for having a snow vee plow, lol thansk

[@charlesangell_bulmtl]

@@kingofobsolete4789 Kansan here as well, at times KS gets big drifts, my guess is that plow was probably a candidate for clearing the highways at a much faster speed...edit: Big V would be most useful for quick rural work On the plains it was common enough to see slat/wire fencing at a distance from the road to encourage blowing snow to drop there in known problem areas.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes it was speced for a cat to push it along which it never got much use because it might have been every 10 years when the snow cycle was bad. thansk@@charlesangell_bulmtl

GDAYYY KING Good to see the old iron at work. I’ve always thought couple big tractor or skidder tires packed a tighter trail. Especially with a load of snow on top of em. But that chain is pretty slick CHEERS FROM SOUTHERN MANITOBA

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes we are just having fun. the tires don't work on the north west side of the province because we are rocks and more rocks. the chain drag is the best way to hide the rocks so the road is smooth. thansk

That was a good workout for the Bismarck! It requires quite a bit of power I’d imagine to push that plow through the snow while also pulling that drag!

yes vee plow were common when there was snow and wind plus no one had 4x4 or good radial tires for traction. this being a balderson that made a lot of items for caterpillar before being bought out by them. it was made for a d6 cat to push, we just modified it for snow of the north. thansk

as a boy i lived in a town named crossvile il. the v plow your using looks like the ones that were made and pattened by the Van Horn family. they were made for the oil field back in the fifties and sixties. i think they quit manufacture around the late seventies or early eighties when mr. Van Horn died if it is one of thiers, IT was pattened as the CROSSVILE CUTTER. I was a kid that lived across the street from thier machine shop . they were shipped all over the world. video brought back many memoryies CJB.

[@kingofobsolete4789]

excellent information. with the new powerful all wheel drive graders and such, vee plows are hardly used any more thansk

[@claudenormandeau9211]

Something for you to consider! In the 1980,s contractors started compacting the snow instead of ploughing it off to the sides when building oilfield roads over the muskeg. They quickly realized that the compacted snow was a thick layer that kept the sun off of the muskeg thus extending there road use by weeks in the spring. As long as the ground is white or thick ice covered it would last much longer. Another subject is then you had to protect all little creeks crossing and cutting through the trail. We used portable bridges for that purpose

[@kingofobsolete4789]

the old timers when building the cat train trails back in the 1940s never plowed the snow, they just dragged it to get a snow packed layers. this also keeps the moss and vegation on the ground too. thansk

[@robertheinkel6225]

When I was stationed in Alaska, working on the K -135 aircraft, the base would only clear the runway of snow. The parking area was just leveled off, and the aircraft parked on the snow. My aircraft was parked on about 18 inches of hard packed snow.

Pray tell what is the purpose of all these trails ? Do you go out and Diamond drill prospecting ?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

these are the original cat train trails from the 1940, we are documenting the cat trains. thansk

Plus it’s just kinda fun! 😊

[@larsthe3rd726]

What’s the chain drag for?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

to smooth out the trail and change the texture of the snow. snow is mostly made up of air. thansk

[@murchinpokamon]

Нормально. Прикольно иногда на ретротехнике дорогу поделать :-))) управление как будто люди из будущего нашли тепловоз :-)

[@kingofobsolete4789]

yes this is a forgotten way of life and we are documenting it because when we are gone who will know how to do it. thansk@@murchinpokamon

[@Danilardv]

Наверное надо быть сверхгением, стобы использовать зимой трактор без кабины...

[@kingofobsolete4789]

can't have a cab on because we travel across ice, if the cat falls through we escape out the top. lots of heat from the motor. thansk

[@gr8daddy682]

For a run like you just made (hour or two?) with the V plow, how much fuel would the Cat use?

[@kingofobsolete4789]

surprisingly these d6 cats are cheap on fuel and don't burn that much. the fuel tank is based on an 8 hour work day. thansk

[@bustedford]
