Years ago in Nova Scotia, in the Truro area, there was an old FWD that would show up most winters once or twice. As kids we waited up most of one night to see her break open our big drift, but at the same time hoping she wouldn’t come, so that neither would the school bus. A few years later (mid 70s) there was a new FWD, but then most winters the old Cat #12 grader could handle the work. And then I was told that the new FWD was the old one. The gas engine and 5-speed transmission had been changed out for a Cummins 290 and 9-speed, and a Louisville cab had replaced the old Dodge cab. 45 years later, is she still at work? I really enjoyed this video, thank you.

Certainly fun watching a big V plow smash through some snow banks. Would have been more effective to have a wheel loader mounted self powered dual auger snowblower to launch the snow to the sides.
@rugerscout3085 жыл бұрын
The biggest problem with snow blowers is there are too many moving parts. Augers, fans, chutes to plug, chains that break, bearing that fail. Drive shafts and clutches. Hydraulic motors, pumps and cylinders all connected by hoses that fail. They are a disaster that can only happen when you're using them. The best operator. no matter how long he's been in his section will loose the road and eat a buried post and the thing is down for hours. Give me a hydraulic V plow on a loader or a V plow and a cable mounted wing on a truck and you have a good chance of having a piece of equipment that will work all day and come back to the garage in a condition that it can go out again the next morning. Most of these heavy snow removal videos are happening a day or more after the storm. These are the problem places in their area that they get to last. If you live in one of these places all I can say is, have a generator that you know will start and lots of fuel for it so your water pump will work. Have a wood stove and a couple weeks of wood under cover in the wood shed or basement. Have lots of canned goods and pasta sauce and stuff to read! I'm retiring in 18 months, after well over 50 years of dealing with the white stuff. I can't tell you how much fun it's going to be looking out the window at it.

When we have a really big storm the town brings out the Walters! Definitely does the job! One brand of V plow, the Viking was made in Clayton NY only about 25 miles from where I was born and raised and they sold thousands of them! We still live in a rural area 20 miles south of where I was born and many towns and villages here in "The Real Upstate NY", not anything about the city as some say they are, still use the V plow!
