Did this BACK in 1976 then again 1977 sure do miss that time in my life

[@yankeydoodoodoo]

What a place to snowmobile. Heaven!

[@martinbelzile]

Tout simplement merveilleux. Good Caterpillar et many snow

[@jambocoo]

Awesome view, I'd love doing that job for free, thanks for sharing would love to see more !.

[@dav1099]

some snow fence would help here, great to hear the grader working. thanks for posting

[@lorinkramer1524]

This video is titled, "Snow plowing view from a road grader." It's an excellent video!! All you hear is the machine and snow plowing in action. None of the acid rock some submitters feel they must attach to their videos that ruin the entire production. So to the 12 thumbs-downers that think it's funny to do that, what were you expecting that was not delivered? If you were expecting unicorns, you're at the wrong place. Some people's kids!!!!

Nice to see such a big sky, even if it's only on KZbin

[@donweber2895]

Another 40 or 50 hp would make so much difference on road graders in this Application with a wing on.When in high gear it sure is nice to have that extra horsepower to keep the momentum going but when the engine is lugged down or up a hill is where extra hp makes a difference.6 Wheel Dr. graders and with chains on the back the grader is hard to beat.

[@seanerik7339]

Me too, they're my fav for all kinds of work, esp w the V plow

[@robsteves573]

Great vid. Love the deep snow. If you got time love to see more

[@thomasjsanford6296]

I've never seen anybody do that before... running down the road with the V-plow raised up a foot, just taking the top off the drifts, then coming back through to clean up the remainder... I can see where taking a heavy snow off in layers might have some advantages...

[@catop3676]

First may I say excellent video far better than mine it looks like where you're at has a lot of snow If I may make a recommendation and I'm not sure witch side is up wind most often or the land ownership situation. But you might consider putting in snow bars on the up wind side. I know it makes a big difference when I have to do my roads and it's a big help. I can't always make it 56 miles to where they are and they have saved my but more than once. Just a thought to consider I hope that helps CAT.OP

Wishing you lots of happy pushes. Slow and easy does it.

[@kutzbill]

For some reason I just love road graders. I'd run one for free if I could find a place that'd let me.

[@GreaterAntilles-wn2ts]

Really 15 hr. day's Monday-Sat? Cause I can arrange that?

[@MrWoodshoes]

Either its got high hours and needs a major or the pump needs to be turned up ! Planting some trees might be a good investment.

[@bradhoffman77]

when plowing snow...speed is your friend...throw that shit as far as possible ...

[@guyh.4121]

Not when it’s that deep. If it’s light stuff sure but this stuff is easily 3-4’.

[@bradhoffman77]

@@guyh.4121 ya make a hole and use half of the vplow at high speed...then clean up with mowboard and wing it back with wing

[@hinglemccringleberry7786]

That’s gotta be Idaho

[@cb7815]

Give this operator a raise

[@Christopher-hx6xm]

I am cold just watching this,I lived in Indiana we had V plow trucks if the truck couldn't make it they would call out the grader or the pay loader

[@Jack-ne8vm]

Seems the snow drifts fill up to the snow berms on the roadsides

[@jimmylizabethwolfenden2503]

Uhhh, yeah, they do.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Same principle as a snow fence. That’s why they try and wing plow it as far off the road as possible.

[@burnuts007]

Awesome video! That’s a lot of snow! How often is this job called for?

[@bobbyc9960]

Need a good truck plow...!

[@gregadams5972]

There guy know what he doing I done that before it helps when you have experience after you been stuck and have to wait all day for somebody to come get you

[@Sara-L]

Honestly this looks like a job for a Cat D6 :)

[@lfeco]

The first good wind the road will be blocked again.

[@WatchWesWork]

Wow. Not a tree in sight.

[@mariotrudel6203]

Can't see any road sign any where must be in the praries

[@andersonlima8330]

Quero trabalhar com você pode me ajudar ja sou operador de motoniveladora ...

[@josephalberta1145]

I was surprised to learn how little Hp some of the graders have. I guess its about torque but it seems many get bogged down in drifts. Would be nice to see another 100 hp and another 500 foot pounds of torque.

[@user-ti1ch3kk8e]

По строй дороге не надо бить а рядом по полю, снега меньше

[@genelund1705]

If they wouldn't have been lazy the first time and winged it out the whole thing wouldn't be plugged again

[@371francis]

You spent 50% of your time in reverse...can't be efficient.

[@williamsparks1521]

I'm not being a wise guy, but that must be a small grader, right?
