used to plow the logging roads in northern Maine with a Cat 12 motor grader with a wing, its a cold lonely job all night, have to be careful as you are all alone and only contact is by radio if you have trouble, have plowed for 25 hours straight ahead at times, only stopping for coffee and fuel
Used to plow Malls in Northern New York with John Deere 444 or 544 with snow bucket or blade. Long shifts between my regular job. Now live in Florida and don't miss it. Your video brought back memories though. Thank you for that. Also liked the deer stand half way down the road! I do miss that!!!
Funny you should mention that. When I was a kid in February 1973, we drove from Winnipeg down to La Feria, TX to visit our grandparents who were wintering in that town. On the Friday morning on which we planned to head back to Manitoba it snowed in the lower Rio Grande valley and up past San Antonio. We couldn’t believe how a few inches of snow forced the closure of all the Interstate overpasses.
That’s beautiful snow. I live in the Great Plains, everything is so open, and pretty much after every snowfall it gets very windy. We end up with massive drifts and hard packed snow everywhere
That’s a nice setup / machine. I spent a lot of time doing that in graders, I like how you can push up over the bank without getting your front tires over / through the banks. Nice job. Enjoyed the video. So peaceful out there by yourself.
My sister's husband runs plow for SK highways. Heading out at 3:00 in the am, dealing with dark crazy weather. Please slow down and be respectful around the plow...we want everyone to get home safely.
So satisfying and relaxing to watch. And the sun is slowly setting down, too. I wonder what kind of place this is. A small community in the woods? Some kind of town? Would love to learn the answer. Thank you for the video!
I grew up in the Northern suburbs of Detroit, Michigan. Not really known for huge snow events, but we had several between 1965 and 1975. I know because that's when I sort of took over the chores with our 8N Ford Tractor. And that included snow plowing. All I had to work with was a rear grader blade. Not a snow blade, rather it was a very heavy cast iron grader blade adjustable to move dirt around and smooth it out. In other words it was a drag behind blade with no sharp edge. But it worked. Early on I had no tire chains. That was a learning process. The 8N didn't even have both wheel drive, but it did have individual brakes. When worse came to worse I would push the snow backwards. One time I even put the tires on backwards to see if it would help. It did, but minimally. And the pain in the neck looking backward all the time was a real hassle. It would not do anything in forward with the tires on backward. When I got a pair of hand me down worn and broken tire chains I thought I was in heaven. I bought those repair links that look like a spiral and you pinch them or hammer them shut. What a huge difference. It was amazing to have chains after all those years of slipping and sliding. I used to plow most of my neighbors driveways and the road out to the main highway. Some people would flash their front porch light on and off to call me (you gotta remember this was back when only Perry Mason had ship to shore in his car) Some people paid me a couple bucks for doing their driveway. I was just being neighborly. Later I bought a very well used 1977 Dodge Power Wagon with the Sno-Commander package. That truck has a 400 V8 automatic with 4.56 Dana 60's front and rear and a 5 or 6 inch lift from the factory. The front mounted moldboard is hydraulic lift and angle. The lift runs from a belt driven hydraulic pump under the hood. The 77 has the full time 4 wheel drive NP 203 transfer case. My options are regular 4 wheel drive and 4 lock. I never put chains on it but I have plowed with a 12 foot slide in camper on it. That makes it brutally strong. It feels like a 5yd dump truck with that camper on it plowing snow. I still have it but it's getting a rust rebuild to the floor pan. In about 2001 we got a snowfall of about 12", so I plowed the 3/4 of a mile down to the major highway and back so I could go to work in my car. Befor I left, I showed my son how to pull up to the beginning of the driveway and back blade the length of the truck and blade, then turn around and push the snow out the end of the driveway across the street. Then turn around and push the snow on the two corners of the driveway into the ditch on both sides of the driveway. Nothing fancy, just get the major portion out of the way. When I came home that afternoon from work, I saw that the first couple houses in my sub had their driveways plowed out. I was surprised because they usually did it by hand, but there it was all done and obviously by a plow. Then, as I got closer to my own road, I began to realize every driveway was plowed and all had the same signature: LIKE I SHOWED MY SON. When I got home I asked him and he said yes he did them. Probably 30 driveways. For the next week we got little notes in our mailbox thanking us for helping out. Some left candy and some left a few dollars. HOWEVER: One neighbor, my supervisor where I worked, complained about it to me. I worked at GM and he was a jerk at work so it figured. My son was having fun, didn't destroy anything and he felt neighborly. Until I told him what my GM boss said. True Story. ben/ michigan
Hyvin onnistuu lumityöt pyöräkuormaajalla. Jos nyt jotain vois neuvoa niin risteysalueelle ei pitäis kasata lunta. Tyypillinen traktorikuskien tyyli pakertaa lumet molemmin puolin risteystä. Tuskin tuo jossain metsätiellä haittaa, mutta… Tuossa aurassa ei ole kyllä minkäänlaista heitto-ominaisuutta, mutta ei ehkä noilla teillä kaipaakaan. Eipä muutako työniloa 👍
Only one complaint and it’s a matter of opinion, is at end of road, I always pull down the banks so snowmobiles can exit enter the trail safely. I also can tell that this is no5 this person’s first rodeo. I got a angle plow on my tractor fir 5 miles of road I plow to my house in northern Ontario and using it like that helps so much.
im very happy when i see u in wintertime. Very nice to see 30 cm of snow is removed from where i parking my car. U r abit noicy, but i can surely handle it. Good job guys
Hey! What tires are those? I have been researching snow tires for our loaders but cant seem to find anyone who has them in stock. Your Volvo appears to be comparable to our JD624J. Are the cost of new tires worth it?
I live up off an unmaintained forestry service road, the county plow stops 1.5 miles from my house and the foresty wont touch the road in the winter so its up to me and my dad to plow that 1.5 miles. we use an old austin western grader that dose a hell of a job but for the "privilege" of being able to clear the road to drive home safely the forestry wants us to pay them $1000 every year. We told to kick rocks and f off. They should be paying us to keep that mountain road open winter long
As a kid, I enjoyed watching the snowplows. Now I'm 75 and I still enjoy it. Something very satisfactory about it.
This guy is more conscientious plowing a forest road in the middle of nowhere than our city or state road crews. Well done!
Хоть у меня нету машины, больше спасибо тем кто чистит дороги, и ещё большее спасибо тем кто чистит эти повороты на перекрёстках!!💪💪💪

I'd gladly plow small roads but parking lots... Nah
Im from south TX, and although I find this so satisfying to watch, Im also very thankful I dont have to do it every winter.

Gotta love when its all still nice and puffy and it didn't rain on it yet.
Nice to see someone who know what they’re doing!
Thank you!
I agree, he's very smooth. Cleans everything up nice, no windrows
ya there ok. I've done better in my plow truck. there backup alarm sucks tho. one of the worst type you can have.
Not that hard of a job
This person operating this machine is clueless.
I really like the backup alarm; it's not annoying at all.
So satisfying! Could watch it all day.
I cringed watching this amateur.
you cringe looking in the mirror
Who doesn’t just love watching a loader or a nice truck plow!
This is the most satisfying video I've watched all week. Earn a subscriber here! Beautiful snow.
Thank you very much! Hope I can deliver similar videos soon when the snow starts to fall again!
A great video with lots of detail - thanks for posting. All the best and God Bless. 🙏❤🇺🇸
Thank you very much, glad that you enjoyed it! 😊
Damn, I love plowing. Not much snow this year for us unfortunately. Hopefully I get to plow next season! Great vid 👍
Thank you! Yeah it is very fun to plow, hope you get some snow next season!
nobody drive a ordinarily car here without your great job
Lol I could sit ,drink coffee and watch this for a while .
My sister's husband runs plow for SK highways. Heading out at 3:00 in the am, dealing with dark crazy weather. Please slow down and be respectful around the plow...we want everyone to get home safely.
I wouldn’t mind plowing through that with scenery like that 😊
Nice video, always fun to watch for a retired snow cleaner. :) Nice equipment you have, back in the 90s we had simpler stuff... LOL
So satisfying and relaxing to watch. And the sun is slowly setting down, too. I wonder what kind of place this is. A small community in the woods? Some kind of town? Would love to learn the answer.
Thank you for the video!
Dang, I know that’s as fun as it looks. Very nice😁
Cool seeing the front diff working to push the uneven load
What a great plough that is.
Like a dream! Thanks for the upload and can you pls learn Trafikverket how to fix there issues when it suddenly starts to snow? 😂

I use a 55hp tractor with a 72" rear-mount snowblower. Love it, kicks butt in the winter.
i shovel
What a sight a powerful machine that drift all this load without even snowchain

Perfect clean up nice job
😊Hurraa ✌️ good work ✌️ 🙋♂️
3 часа ночи, сижу смотрю, как дороги чистят ))))
In Ireland, that amount of snow it's end of the world! :D
I hope that it won't come as much snow there then 😄
so relaxing... I'd really like to try your job for a few days
😊Hurraa ✌️ good work ✌️ 🙋♂️ 🇪🇪 😊✌️
That road really needs a grader with a wing blade to come and clean the edges of the road off soon.
i do my own snow contracts in the winter and love doing snow, liquid Money!
Watching this brings back memories. I wonder how many tons of that "stuff" I've plowed over the years. 🤔🙄🤪
Volvo nice Machine. Doing good work. How many miles are you doing?
Thank you. This road was only about 1 mile in one direction, so it was a shorter road.
For as many parking lots and residential drives I disliked clearing,, this route looks most satisfying and peaceful
You have no idea how much you are going to miss doing this in the future!!!
Why will you no longer do this in the future?

Finland
@@Yeahnoty some great snow !
Northen Sweden
Here in northern Canada this is second nature, you want to really plow snow, a cat 14 grader or a challenger, fast, powerful.
im very happy when i see u in wintertime. Very nice to see 30 cm of snow is removed from where i parking my car. U r abit noicy, but i can surely handle it. Good job guys
12:28 Уборная типа "выгребная яма"?

As a fellow plow driver , I find this very satisfying
Like the video, but a wing would make your plowing alot easier
awesome video👌
Hyvin menee! Heittäiskö aura paremmin, jos vähän oikaisis kulmaa?
This is peak🗣🔥
Wait was this in the middle of spring!? if it was then it was a spring storm and the snow likely was wet and melted quickly
20 cm thick snow.
In reference 1 foot = 30.48 cm.

This Finland?
Yes
Is that a motor grader or a front-end loader?
It is a front end loader from Volvo.
Great Vid.
It may be but on here it doesn’t look like that blade is throwing the snow very far at all .🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
20 cm? What is that in inches?
We're is this. .man I'd love to live in such a beautiful place

What is on this road other than the logs?
On this road it is only forest. So the road is to reach lumber and for hunting.
Do you float your Volvo or drive to your plowing jobs
I usually plow roads close to home so I only drive there
Интересная работа 👍
