Don't enjoy the music and agree,, let us hear the power. Have to turn the sound down. But great to see the Deere with the V-Plow. More continuous video rather than the short shots much more enjoyable. Thanks for posting. The grader driver is having the most fun.
What a nice video, it makes me want to take a grader out and play in the snow! I’ve opened northern roads in the springtime but never had a V plow to do it with.
And 49 more people agree. I've never been a fan of videos like this with music. For one, you can possibly pick something that would satisfy everyone anyway, so just leave the natural sounds.
Honest question, why aren’t more snow blowers used in these applications? The plow or v-plow leaves huge mounds of snow right there. Why not throw it 10-30 yards off to the side?
Camera work is awesome beautiful scenery and an experienced operator would like to know where this was recorded would rather hear machine working than music
Is this somewhere in Canada? The scenery is quite nice. The camera work is EXCELLENT!! All of us who watch this enjoy and challenge of man and machine versus the snow. Not all of us, however, have the same taste in music. Like the previous commentator, I would prefer the "natural" sounds. Still, it is a very good video so keep up the good work with your camera.
I can see the necessity of the V plow but then later a straight plow would have been useful. I am one who would rather hear the engine than that music.
Our small township plow operator's used to let some of us volunteer firefighters ride along when they would go 'up in the hills' in the middle of the night. It always seemed like an adventure in a winter wonderland. Jim or Fred (supervisors) would let us operate the 'wing plow' on our side of the truck. We had duties like spotting for overhead wires when the box was tipped up to move the cinder load back to the spreader. I remember getting to drive the plow truck about a quarter mile down the road when Fred played a prank on a friend of his. He knew his bud left the keys in his pickup truck, so in the middle of the night, we moved it down the road to his neighbor's driveway, lol. Jim and Fred told us that we were 'on the payroll' for those nights. We thought it was a play on words and they'd give us a few bucks out of their own pockets, but sure as heck, I got a check mailed to me from the township office. Pretty cool stuff for a 18 to 20 year old.
Ben Halonen no I haven’t. I tried some heated wiper blades on the sand trucks last year. They were great at first but then the squeegee just started peeling off. I forget what brand they were. I wasn’t impressed after that.
Lol..... Welcome to the boondocks. My son made me laugh when he complained that all the school bus drivers were old farmers/ranchers and didn't care about the snow depth. The buses were gonna run, and school is in session.........ha ha.
Where do graders get all their traction from? I know 4 drive wheels in the back, but they push so much snow and don't seem to spin very much or need chains? And yes, I do realize they get stuck sometimes, but they move so much snow with so little effort!
That's nothing. When I was a kid I shoveled that much snow on my way to school in the morning. I would have to start shovelling in the fall even before it snowed just to keep up. You folks these days have it easy. We didn't even have winter boots, we just wrapped barbed wire around our bare feet so we would have traction in the snow and ice. Plus, we had to carve our own snow shovels out of a big chunk of wood. With a penknife! Music sucked, btw.
Ambient Sounds are dumb. I am glad you Plowed them. Next stop: Library. Put Dewey Decimal to work and have him help you decimate the word Ambien, off ,the Pages of the Earth's Books, please. The Librarian, "Laverne", surely, will assist you.
