Only works on slush and probably leave a thin enough slush to freeze into black ice. Need to follow that up with some salt or brine mixture or something to prevent icing
Let's slow down and use some thought. What if, there is a plow on the front removing the snow, and then he added this to remove the slush which will refreeze into a thin sheet, more dangerous than the initial condition.

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.

Please don't ever use this on a dirt road. It's going to ruin it by making the center of the road dip so all the water ends up in the road always. It's far better to keep the center of the road high so water runs off to the side of the road. Speaking from 40 + years of living on dirt roads and over 10 on one maintained by complete amateurs.
@@midgesmagic7030we use a tractor with plow, but are careful to til it so we keep the tilt that is highest on the middle and tilt down to the ditch. And ofcourse do one side of the top at the time
@@midgesmagic7030 a tractor with a blower is really nice too. My neighbor uses like a suped up golf cart with a caddy cover and blower to keep our road clear since it's not county maintained. I prefer blowers to plows here because it can seriously drift 10 ft in a few hours sometimes and several plow trucks have been broken trying to plow it out before.
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.
Unless you suddenly stopped near the same time as the plow got airborne, that wouldn't happen. There is nothing in the system to cause the plow to go faster than the truck.

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 😉
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.
It is good, until: - manholes - potholes - road bumps (rock might fly high up) - other cars behind you - other cars pass you - you slow down or brake - you turn left or right - you realize you still didn't get rid of the ice - you realize you are destroying the road unintentionally - you are making way for water to get into the road which leads to structural damage and erosion. - you only get rid of the slush - you can't get rid of more than 5 inch (12,5cm) deep snow - you can't get rid of more than a day old snow; you might get rid of fresh snow, but that day old chunky snow and the base layer of ice is still there - 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 - you get rid of the salt/stone mix that plowing trucks usually drop when they go down the road - you actually convince people that the road is safe and people may trust said "clean road", but the coming cars are exposed to the same level of danger as you
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.
Humanity: Why haven't I thought of that yet?? Oh yeah.. it's been tried hundreds and hundreds of times over and it's flaws always get exposed sooner or later.. thus.. why we don't have a "Western Drag-Behind".. or a "Meyer Sno-puller"

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
Works great as long as you don’t get more than an inch of snow and the snow isn’t packed at all. Also won’t work on a two lane rd, and you can’t back up more than 6 feet.

Imagine this if you can, hold on, stay with me, there is a PLOW, on the front of the vehicle. This is the rear view, after the plow pass, to clean up what is always left behind. aka removing potential black ice.
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
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.
I have barely seen the show, but I have seen plenty of physics in my life. Why so many ppl is so bad at predicting possible events will never cease to amaze me. "Trust mee, I'm an engineer!"
@@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
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
When we go camping and sailing Valley at the turnoff there are large tires with chains attached to them. You simply attach it to the back bumper and drag it with you all the way into camp and drop it off there and then the next person leaving that wants to can hook it to their car and drop it off at the corner in the start over again. This really helps keep the road clear and nobody has to do all the hard work
I'm picturing a few different things in my head while reading your content. Can you elaborate a little please? Like is it car tires with snow chains on? Or is it a tractor tire with chainmail all over? Does it come with a tow-rope already on it? I'm wondering because it sounds like a cool, inexpensive trick that could be utilized more. Also what type of road? You mentioned a "turn off". Thanks for your time reading all that lol
@kenananaquitchichich4772 it's usually a larger tire like the ones on semi trucks or even tractor tires or something from a larger piece of machinery with rubber tires... dirt roads and by chain its only secured to the tire in one location and the other end is stretched out to the bumper/hitch
@jamesMwebber thank you, so it's rubber pulled over the dirt road, I was under the impression that the tire itself was covered in chain. Awesome! Thank you!
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...

@@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

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.
@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
Goes smooth until it finds an obstacle or hole on the road, grips into it and, if the rope doesn’t break, have it come straight to the back of the vehicle with some pretty awesome speed.
I have flattened dirt roads with a heavy ring or a medium tractor tyre pulled behind the farm/ work ute that would definitely happen if you are going too fast but there is a range of speeds where you are pulling it fast enough that it doesn’t dig in at every lump or corner in the road and where it can build up enough elastic force in the tow rope to throw itself through your rear window, with a ring it is about a slow jogging speed and with a well weighted tire it is maybe 20Km/h (13mph). I have seen one guy get impatient with a large off road truck tire on an exploration track and have it land in the tray of the light truck he was driving (through the rear gate). He got yelled at and put on water testing duties so I didn’t have to risk feeding the crocodiles for over a month till he got another job.
@@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.
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.
My father made one over 60 years ago. We didn’t use it for snow. We used it for landscaping and road maintenance. It was more box shaped and used angle iron cross pieces. We used it for more than 50 years before I had to scrap it out, it was just plain worn out. PS. We used to maintain the local baseball diamond with that same drag. My lawns were as smooth as a putting green.
@@gilleslabonte8140 sorry no pictures, use two bed rails for runners, make sure to curl the front of the two runners so they don’t dig in, then weld in bed rails at angle between. You can use two full length at angles then a couple cut to length for front and back
We did very similar, but also for snow. Angle iron front frame connected to a huge rectangle piece of very heavy duty steel conveyor "belt" material..the kind that forms squares via opposing zig-zags with a rod running thru 'em for the flex. We finished off and maintained our 1 mile driveway up the mountain (and several neighbors' driveways), cleared fields, the local schools' ball park, local general store and post office parking lots..even the last 13 miles of road before it became paved (now it's only about 6 miles) .. neighbors loved us ;-)
It works great, just as long as the road has been plowed.

@@midgesmagic7030we use a tractor with plow, but are careful to til it so we keep the tilt that is highest on the middle and tilt down to the ditch. And ofcourse do one side of the top at the time
YES! This one!
@@midgesmagic7030 a tractor with a blower is really nice too. My neighbor uses like a suped up golf cart with a caddy cover and blower to keep our road clear since it's not county maintained. I prefer blowers to plows here because it can seriously drift 10 ft in a few hours sometimes and several plow trucks have been broken trying to plow it out before.

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.

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.
And then there was a bump in the road that sent the device flying towards the back window haha
Unless you suddenly stopped near the same time as the plow got airborne, that wouldn't happen. There is nothing in the system to cause the plow to go faster than the truck.

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.
Good screw them for putting down corrosive BS on the roads to destroy everyone’s car
@@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.
@bigballcomedyfacts. Canton Ohio here. Always still shitty after the plow trucks go by lol
It is good, until:
- manholes
- potholes
- road bumps (rock might fly high up)
- other cars behind you
- other cars pass you
- you slow down or brake
- you turn left or right
- you realize you still didn't get rid of the ice
- you realize you are destroying the road unintentionally
- you are making way for water to get into the road which leads to structural damage and erosion.
- you only get rid of the slush
- you can't get rid of more than 5 inch (12,5cm) deep snow
- you can't get rid of more than a day old snow; you might get rid of fresh snow, but that day old chunky snow and the base layer of ice is still there
- 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
- you get rid of the salt/stone mix that plowing trucks usually drop when they go down the road
- you actually convince people that the road is safe and people may trust said "clean road", but the coming cars are exposed to the same level of danger as you

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...
Works great as long as you don’t get more than an inch of snow and the snow isn’t packed at all. Also won’t work on a two lane rd, and you can’t back up more than 6 feet.
I use one similar except it has a taller v in front with metal roofing attached to angle iron, 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.
Imagine this if you can, hold on, stay with me, there is a PLOW, on the front of the vehicle. This is the rear view, after the plow pass, to clean up what is always left behind. aka removing potential black ice.

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

@colet7645 hopefully bc if not that thing is gonna fly at the vehicle

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

When we go camping and sailing Valley at the turnoff there are large tires with chains attached to them. You simply attach it to the back bumper and drag it with you all the way into camp and drop it off there and then the next person leaving that wants to can hook it to their car and drop it off at the corner in the start over again. This really helps keep the road clear and nobody has to do all the hard work
I'm picturing a few different things in my head while reading your content. Can you elaborate a little please? Like is it car tires with snow chains on? Or is it a tractor tire with chainmail all over? Does it come with a tow-rope already on it?
I'm wondering because it sounds like a cool, inexpensive trick that could be utilized more.
Also what type of road? You mentioned a "turn off".
Thanks for your time reading all that lol
@kenananaquitchichich4772 it's usually a larger tire like the ones on semi trucks or even tractor tires or something from a larger piece of machinery with rubber tires... dirt roads and by chain its only secured to the tire in one location and the other end is stretched out to the bumper/hitch

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...

Goes smooth until it finds an obstacle or hole on the road, grips into it and, if the rope doesn’t break, have it come straight to the back of the vehicle with some pretty awesome speed.
I have flattened dirt roads with a heavy ring or a medium tractor tyre pulled behind the farm/ work ute that would definitely happen if you are going too fast but there is a range of speeds where you are pulling it fast enough that it doesn’t dig in at every lump or corner in the road and where it can build up enough elastic force in the tow rope to throw itself through your rear window, with a ring it is about a slow jogging speed and with a well weighted tire it is maybe 20Km/h (13mph). I have seen one guy get impatient with a large off road truck tire on an exploration track and have it land in the tray of the light truck he was driving (through the rear gate). He got yelled at and put on water testing duties so I didn’t have to risk feeding the crocodiles for over a month till he got another job.

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.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
Yep. 3inches per hour here in buffalo ny
PERFECT. You just removed the salt the real plow truck put down.
That would be a good thing as I truly hate that they salt the roads so much here in Ohio. Just makes vehicles rust out quicker.
That should definitely be a good thing. Never salt the roads.

My father made one over 60 years ago. We didn’t use it for snow. We used it for landscaping and road maintenance. It was more box shaped and used angle iron cross pieces.
