Six Wheel Drive~Plowing Big Drifts 

Yep, Bring back Memories of when I worked for the state of Iowa Highway Maintenance for 13 years, I moved a lot of snow in those years. You never knew how much snow you were going to get, the weather would call for inches of snow and get missed completely and on the other hand, I seen 8 inches of flurries before. We first had gassers and the big trucks were diesel, Years later we got all diesels. I worked there from 1978 to 1991, the first sand boxes we had were PTO drive, toward later in the 1980s all the trucks had tailgate augers and spinners (Sanders).

Snow plow videos; my new addiction.

That looks like a lot of fun. And a satisfying days work, since you're opening roads for people. Nice video, thank you.

Nothing like the power of moving snow!! Been doing it for 23 years love it

The guy at 4:37 is like "fuck me, I just spent 5 hours digging the driveway out..."

About best high speed deep snow removal video I've seen 👍

Power and momentum are the perfect combo

I know what you mean, Jim, Our season was cut short too, around 17 February, after getting some decent snowstorms a couple times a week. Thanks for another great vid!

When it comes to snow plowing Jim is in the big leagues. Deep snow requiring professional machinery and operator. Thanks for sharing. All the best!

Sometimes it just takes a measure of Momentum, sometimes it takes Brute Force, Most often it takes Tons of Tenacity but it ALWAYS takes the proper Machine for the job and an Operator that knows the Machine Intimately. That would be you, Jim.

That truck is a weapon. Must be nice to get the equipment you need for the job :D

You do with what you have and you did a good job...Safe driving kid...

Good to see someone knows how. Plowed snow with big cats but way slower then this ! Still have had some scary times lol West Coast Canada in the mountains lol

Felt like I was in cab of Truck Love Scenery..!

That trucks sounds pretty damn powerful!

This is awesome. Loved these since I was a little kid. Fun watching you go through the gears. Must be scary as shit when you hit something under the snow.

I guess that's why you don't pass a snowplow on the right.

That elevated roadway in open country looks like a perfect recipe for big drifts.

Fun to watch this video and compare the american system to the one I am used to using were I live

Holy! That drift at 5 minutes in.. Get's like that up here in northern Maine. 96+ inches this year. It's been melting these last few days. :D Stay warm Jim! Great video's as always, I enjoy watching what you do. Safe travels.

Plowed snow since I was a kid in the 60s Truck, Grader, loader Upper Midwest never seen snow plows with turf ties and no chains trying to plow snow.

Same kind of truck plow's the secondary roads here in Pennsylvania

Hey, it’s snowing outside. Catch the drift? Lol

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

Great video especially with real action sounds and not stupid music! Pushing snow is a science and is rewarding! Not always fun unless it is on your own driveway!

Didn't have as much fun this year as last. Checked your site several times hoping for some sideways pushing from that Western Star and none was to be found. Well there's always next year. Have a good summer.

Great job, but you need a higher front plough and by the video can't tell the angle of the carbides to the pavement to whether you could roll the plough back so the snow would not ride up as much. Excellent work though, miss though winters.

I remember the day when plows like this plowed our roads.

Very nice truck and set up; it really throws snow well there JHDD. Merry XMAS

Nice, I liked listening to that turbo!

Love it. That rig is a beast

And the number of projects that I can tackle in the winter dwindles because of the darn cold. At least I got more done in 2019 than in 2018.

Hahaha .... "hood ornament" pops up @ 6:47

Love plowing videos

Sounds like the machinery isn’t even aware of the snow.

Thank you show us this video n without you guy us citizenship can't get out to get grocery 👍

Always better to have your plow ride up rather than your tighty whities.

this is where they still need the V plows

Man, that old girl got some serious power very cool video, thanks for sharing.

that goes fast wow.

Jim it looks like you need a vee plow to break thur.

I just came across this :D Really well done. I'm a ''Mr. Plow'' myself but winters are not as they used to here in Sweden. I would consider using some chains on that baby, given the amount of snow you get ;) Cheers

I'm still looking for my mailbox !

5 ton with a plow. 88M: "I got this" CC: "did you PMCS the truck." (Bump grind pop noises) 88M: "ummm yea?"

That blade needs to be a couple of feet taller and the width of the road. We have an old D9 at our farm we use for clearing the roads, with home made extensions. Never had any drift that put much of a load on it. Like pushing air compared to dirt.

Enjoyed watching. But one thing's for sure, if you had drifts produced in -40 C temperatures, you'd have way more difficulty. Wind blown ice crystals pack like concrete.

very soothing I haul oil for a living.

need guns n roses playing while guzzling half a gallon of hot coffee and plowing

Its a thankless job but much appreciated. No V-Plow?

Looks like the area of the town of Knox meets the Schoharie county line in N.Y.

Western Star...last vestiges of The White Motor Company. Best trucks built on the planet

Just me but I'd put a little more down pressure on the wing brace

Moving some snow, very cool video. How fast do you think you were going? Thank you for sharing. God Bless from Phoenix.

Perfect for hu... i mean zombie killing machine. ;)

NAMELESS HEROES LIKE FIREMEN AND COPS!!!

JHDD, I notice none of your trucks have a back-up alarm.

How do you know where the road is?

Was this truck a 18spd? 550 cat motor? C16?

Great job

the dude at 4:39 lmao

V plow would be handy in this situation

nice movie 10/10

This winters been pretty lame the odd salt run and little bit of scrapping for Halifax no need for the big toys

4:35.... This is why I drink

Oh by the way do you ever do out by Caribou island that would be some pretty awesome footage

Looks like you need a vee plow on your truck.

This plow is a throwing plow, what could be used here is a pushing plow.

Have to get a western star. Would have ran straight through that drift bank. Why is drifting snow always hard as a rock? Snow plow drivers know

this is a job for a walter snow fighter !

I'm wondering why you use that type of low wing plow on the front of your trucks? With the type trucks you run it seems like a high lifting wing plow would be much better. It's what is used here in Michigan and surly we get less snow than you. They lift the snow so high and throw it so far it rarely builds a bank like seen there. Snow is plastered on the trees about 12' up the trunks. These trucks run between 40 and 45 mph and use their grader blade and spread salt all in one pass. I enjoy your plowing videos. It looks like it could be fun, but stressful. I think a novice operator could get in a mess in a hurry with that wing blade on the side. Here the road commission is responsible for replacing all the mail boxes they take out.

Hi from Dartmouth Jim. I just subbed your channel its awsome!! Where are you up in Cape Breton?

That snowplow is used for roads or highway's, and not railroad tracks?

Got the wrong type of plow on there. You need a v shaped plow

Real snow plow

what is your tip plowing speed, and how fast have you plowed?

Need a snow blower for this.

dont think the one way is set right???? shouldnt ride up and over the drifts needs to be tipped more to cut

What make and model and year is this beast

Are you with Nova Scotia D.O.T?

In reality that would be a 10 wheel drive correct?

Wisconsin in April.

JOB FOR A ROAD GRADER

Get it show that drift whose boss

does anyone know were this place is?

10 000 subs is close:)

Where where you all this time

good video that CUMMINS sounds good

That is like a mini snowplow on the front of the truck.

Ha ha ten wheel drive?

Foxbrook Rd, Nova Scotia

What plow are you running?

Don't you feel cool brother

POOR TRUCK ILL BE WORE OUT IN 4 YEARS

@4:37 LOL

Where is this please ?

mpg? $s? Wait 'till July?

I had a friend die because a snow plow driver was plowing to fast and slow came over the plow drivers windshield and killed him sitting in his car at the end of his drive way with the wing of the plow. When I seen that snow come over your windshield that's telling me your driving to fast.

4:37 "fuck my life"

just keep plowing don't make drifts.

Love this job! How much can I earn?
