Special plows that were towed usualy with tractor in rural areas were in use decades ago in my country, I don' t know if they are stil in use nowdays. But they didn't look nothing like this, weren't nearly as small and light neither. Plow was a kind of triangular shape, made from thick wooden boards fixed inside an iron frame.
My thoughts were. Plow hits a bump, bounces up, loses tension in the rope, the plow hits on the road again, and within a split second the car pulls and tension builds on rope, plow is flung into the back window
I have made the same exact thing, except it's bigger, heavy, a triangle made out of wood, sheet metal, works really well on country roads, triangle cuts deep because of it's weight and it works just like a snow plow, we use it every winter to clear the roads after heavy snowfalls. Been sharing it ever since lol, cheap and good tool to clear roads of snow.
Product disclaimer: Must be attached to an actual plow-truck to perform it's function. Does not 'plow' snow, only mildly displaces small amounts of slush. IF used as an actual 'plow', user agrees to absolve 'the company' of all legal liability of resulting consequences.
It looks as if it would not work on a two way road. Imagine it would be a bit wider - and he would drive on the other side (maybe on the way back). It would divert to the clean part of the road - or it would just throw that slush back over to the already clean side of the road. You would not have two lanes free of slush. Well, when you are there, drive slower, you know the conditions of the road, you know, it would not be perfect. Just adapt to the situation ;-)
I use one similar except it has a taller v in front with metal roofing attached to steel, chains from the ends of the draw bar to the back corners and very short cable at the front to a hitch in the middle of the bar There's angle iron between the back corners. I've been using it for 12 years in N Id. 60 horse tractor with chains, 4WD I've used it with 2 ft of snow.It doesn't dig in as deep as blades but does pack it down.
Growing up village style in alaska...there was one ol jeep...drawing behind was a V shaped made of wood...boards nailed it together ... as kids we would jump on top...which added weight...n was a fun sled ride...fun 4 everone...Im 70 n this shout brought back 60 plus ago memoriez...!!!

@@neorock6135 it was a joke. Alluding to how stupid a plow thats behind the vehicle is. So was trying to make a joke that he'd still need a plow at the front...i know its a crap joke 👍. Hope this has helped x
And his shoved up his ass we ve got space age tec in this world and sadly we find ourself entertaining ourselves with this crap noww thats a fucking mind twisting plot twist
It would make sense considering how clear the road is. It’s a two-pronged attack. The first one clear most of the snow with a decent but not the best plow and make it safer to drive at 40 mph. Then the make shift comes in and clear out the remaining snow on the road.
That should be in the front of the vehicle and the back of it, and with triangle 📐 2,5 meters left and 2,5 meters right I think more better in my opinion
@@akaroth7542 ...Slush refreezes at night...The whole idea behind plowing-salt (and this neat little angle plow) is to get the roads dry and let the sun do it's job.
Plow trucks typically plow in the front and drop a salt/stone mix behind them. If a plow truck already went down this road, you are now removing all the salt they laid down.
@@jtfoog5220Their aim is not to ruin your car. The salt is to keep a layer of ice from forming so that cars don't slide all over the place. Even after shoveling very well I need to put salt on my steps or they'll get icy. Anyone using them, including the postal employee will be at risk of slipping. The salt is very useful.
That works for that kind of ice and slush but you are pulling instead of pushing what happens when you have five feet of snow and ice infront of your vehicle 😉
Я работал на заготовке леса,и у нас так же разгребали снег в лесу,но только по лесным дорогам,цепляли гусеницу от трактора,внутрь гусеницы крепили бревно,если такой гусеницей прогребсти по асфальту,то снег уберется вместе с асфальтом.
@toxikexotic right! This little bit they cleaning up is the kind that sucks you one way or the other so I'm sure they have been driving on it and got tired of that
It's the cheapest snowplow until it snaps off and a car behind it hits it causing serious damage, injury or death. Then it becomes the world's most expensive snowplow.
@@LXIXTurner the force of the slushy snow will help keep it right where it's supposed to be kinda like being pulled behind a boat if there's no weight shifting it to a direction it will pull right behind but people behind the boat have the opportunity to avoid this by weight transfer so they go where they want to go where this will just track right behind
It definitely looks like it's being towed from behind a vehicle what happens when it hits a pothole bounces into the other Lane into on coming traffic and decapitates somebody
I've come to learn, and appreciate, that the genius in the design is not really about it's ability to remove snow from the road. The real genius is in its ability to generate this comment thread. Well done!
That's just it, too. It's about the conversation piece. Like a Picasso does nothing on its own ... It's the conversations that it creates where things get interesting.
@@Gerald0613 Yeah. A plow "design" that not only doesn't clear the way for the plow vehicle itself but can ONLY safely be used on single lane roads. Genius.
Until it hits a rock or bump in the road, bounces up, spins around and crashes into the back of the vehicle pulling it. How do I know this happens? Top Gear.

Sir (pardon me if I didn't use your correct pronoun), since it's likely that where this "genius plow" is used, it would had been more proper when you reported the thickness of the snow renoved to use this format: "0.01 inches (0.254 mm)" Thank you for your attention.
Less traction huh? My son was pulled off the road trying drive through that slush. That thin layer of ice you're worried about will melt off in the morning and clear the road. You should probably just stay home till spring bud
We used to live in MN, our driveway was on a steep incline directly on a busy street. Going up the driveway, we'd spin our tires 2/3 the way up and then start sliding back into traffic. One day I dumped 2 bags of salt in just the right place so the tires would suddenly catch pavement and jolt up the driveway
Snow plows don't just remove the snow, they also put sand down to prevent slipping, in this case your better off leaving the snow for some kind of traction instead if a sheet of ice...
@@sytritewarum5720 Here in Buffalo, if you're using sand, you're not getting much snow and ice at all. I lived in Connecticut for awhile where they use sand and the drivers are a bigger hazard than the weather.
@@TD_JR Yep. I'm up here in Michigan, and nothing short of salt would do the job. I mean really? Sand...? That would just add grit to the slippery slush if we did that here...
Here's a dose of reality. Ottawa, the city I used to live in, plows and salts so much that they run out of salt every year and need to buy more. This is my first winter in Edmonton... go figure, they just decide not to plow and fine you if you don't shovel the sidewalk (how does that make sense?)
To be fair if you get multiple feet of snow you have found a solution, you had to. If you get 1-2 inches a month over winter the more major solutions like a full on plow are not worth the investment for the 1-2 times a year it sticks around for more then a day.

- the vehicle you drive already plows through said snow; it may be clean after you, but you can still slip because the road your car is on, might not be clean

My thoughts were. Plow hits a bump, bounces up, loses tension in the rope, the plow hits on the road again, and within a split second the car pulls and tension builds on rope, plow is flung into the back window

I have made the same exact thing, except it's bigger, heavy, a triangle made out of wood, sheet metal, works really well on country roads, triangle cuts deep because of it's weight and it works just like a snow plow, we use it every winter to clear the roads after heavy snowfalls. Been sharing it ever since lol, cheap and good tool to clear roads of snow.
Product disclaimer: Must be attached to an actual plow-truck to perform it's function. Does not 'plow' snow, only mildly displaces small amounts of slush. IF used as an actual 'plow', user agrees to absolve 'the company' of all legal liability of resulting consequences.
yep, jack arse, bum fights, they all did well with a disclaimer too :D
go cry
Living where it snows isn't for the weak.
And the road surface will degrade much more quickly than from a conventional plow...😂
Isn’t plowing a manual way to displace snow 🤷🏽♀️ so they both have the same function.
I have exactly zero experience with snow plowing, but I imagine this will only work for fresh, shallow snow.
Not even... it only works on slush.
It wont work with snow as this is slush . Also this method would not work on a curve .
It looks as if it would not work on a two way road.
Imagine it would be a bit wider - and he would drive on the other side (maybe on the way back). It would divert to the clean part of the road - or it would just throw that slush back over to the already clean side of the road.
You would not have two lanes free of slush. Well, when you are there, drive slower, you know the conditions of the road, you know, it would not be perfect. Just adapt to the situation ;-)
I have zero experience with snow plowing and i imagine in 30 minutes the freshly plowed road would freeze over and be nothing but ice.
I use one similar except it has a taller v in front with metal roofing attached to steel, chains from the ends of the draw bar to the back corners and very short cable at the front to a hitch in the middle of the bar There's angle iron between the back corners. I've been using it for 12 years in N Id. 60 horse tractor with chains, 4WD
I've used it with 2 ft of snow.It doesn't dig in as deep as blades but does pack it down.

It would make sense considering how clear the road is. It’s a two-pronged attack. The first one clear most of the snow with a decent but not the best plow and make it safer to drive at 40 mph. Then the make shift comes in and clear out the remaining snow on the road.
That should be in the front of the vehicle and the back of it, and with triangle 📐 2,5 meters left and 2,5 meters right I think more better in my opinion
Being from Australia I know nothing about a snow plow except that it goes on the front of the vehicle.
Adding to this: they usually have (at least small) ice removing capabilities, this doesn't really
Also from Australia and I see snow plows every winter in the Snowies. Can confirm, the plow goes on front.
Australian who lives in Canada. Plow goes on front, salt comes out the back.
But where does the steering wheel go?
That's because this isn't a snowplow, it's a snowdrag...

Plow trucks typically plow in the front and drop a salt/stone mix behind them. If a plow truck already went down this road, you are now removing all the salt they laid down.
If a plow truck went through there this wouldn't have been left behind.

@@jtfoog5220 look, do you want to total your car by sliiippping instead? salt isn’t ideal, but it does let the ice melt at a lower temp.
@@jtfoog5220Their aim is not to ruin your car. The salt is to keep a layer of ice from forming so that cars don't slide all over the place. Even after shoveling very well I need to put salt on my steps or they'll get icy. Anyone using them, including the postal employee will be at risk of slipping. The salt is very useful.

Exactly. I live in the UP of Michigan and this would never work.
To be fair if you get multiple feet of snow you have found a solution, you had to. If you get 1-2 inches a month over winter the more major solutions like a full on plow are not worth the investment for the 1-2 times a year it sticks around for more then a day.
