Isn't MAN-made gloBULL warming a wondrous thing? I remember growing up in Monona County, Iowa, and seeing snowdrifts 8-10 deep in the cuts of the unpaved county roads, and the township's road grader (a #12 Caterpillar) operator battering his way through these drifts, as he went about getting the road past our house open.

LMFAO 😆 a plow on a little backhoe

That's one old beast 😊

If you can't find it gtind it

Boys being boys 😊

Sigh all this drama is 100% preventable.

A grader that is all chained up is a real force to be reckoned with. Now days there are six wheel drive graders that must be even more awesome if that is possible :)

In our Township we have a few roads with no fences, no poles, no ditches, no driveways or houses through land that is dead flat. I overheard the supervisor on the radio with the grader operator asking him to look out the back window......if you see gravel, great......if you see green grass....you are not on the road anymore. I laughed out loud !

Wish had snow like that every winter. Been basically nothing 2 winters in a row so far.

What part of ND?

Imagine before GPS/GeoLocation...it was by guess and by God. In Alaska we had roads in winter that didn't exist the rest of the year...sort of "where would you like a road?"

There’s this neat technology called landscape mode that you can access simply by rotating your phone 90 degrees.

I did snow removal for 38 years for NYC, using heavy equipment. I used Backhoes, Road Graders, Front End Loaders, and Bulldozers. For heavy drifted snow IMHO the best tool is the D6LGP with 6 way blade. It would just walk through that snow, drifts be darned. I had a situation where the boss said "Take a D6 and meet a Supervisor at such and such streets." After plowing my way there (1.5 hour trip) I didn't see anything. 10 minutes later the Super shows up. he says "What do you see?" Me, "Nothing." Then he says "Get out, I want to show you something." So, I got out of the machine, and we walked through 4 foot snow for about 50 feet. Then he pointed in front of us. "See those houses way over there?" (pointing) Me, "Okay." Super, "See those houses way over there?" (pointing in the opposite direction) "Well, there is a street between them. There are cars on that street, but we can't see them, because they are completely covered in snow." He said, "Start in the middle of this area, till you locate the street and get your bearings. Then work your way out on both sides until you reach the cars, careful not to hurt the cars. We will take it from there. " The street was wide (maybe 80 feet) but only about a quarter of a mile long. It still took me about 9 hours to plow the whole street. Then another 1.5 hours schlep back to Fresh Kills Landfill. Typical 12 hour snow removal day. Next day, it's out with a Loader or Grader. Every day was different. But, deep drifts, can't beat a dozer, slow and steady. But, unstoppable.

Take that snow

CATERPILLAR 6 wheel drive 16 M it solves all your problems. Your welcome

That's my job too, everyday here in Idaho

Snow blower at that point, as you are just beating up equipment. Oshkosh. Mack, or Walter Snow Fighters are good trucks with a V-plow, but plows have their limits. ......Retired 44 year diesel truck, and heavy equipment mechanic.

What ever happened to the snow fences the states and counties would put up to stop snow drifts like this from happening like this

Passenger gets in. Driver says "Sit down, buckle in, hold on, and shut up."

Old classic is tough to beat. Where and when in ND. My sled needs snow

Я в восхищение

North Dakota. State tree is the telephone pole. State flower is the beer can. Enough said.

Probably should invest in a snow blower so it doesn't build up and make it worse.

I’m from Oklahoma, the last time we had snow like this was in 1972 that’s OK with me. I don’t like snow, lots of hard work.

We gonna need a bigger plow guys !

A little winter in Québec loll :) they need snowblower :)

Thats when guys could move snow! We even used a dozer once in Canada

Don’t they use snow fences there??? I own a small plowing business here in WI. Snow fences act like the road in that the snow builds barriers around the fence or just beyond.

Merry Christmas from Ohio. No snow here...yet...hopeful for some. This is addicting to watch. I love it. 😎🤘

У нас в Белоруссии , нет снега .

Ahhh, a snow blower is clearly indicated for this work, just a thought😅

It’s funny i was watching the snow fighters of the Tug Hill plateau from 1939,amazing footage saved from being destroyed.Its much like what they are doing here in almost the same vintage era trucks. ruclips.net/video/TZR2WbD3Hz0/видео.htmlsi=elOupk3AlyXk26yY

Always loved running grader plowing snow 18yrs oregon dot. Much funner than a blower😊

IN THE 60s & 70 s we would have been in the fields ridging long before it got that deep

One silly question, Why is there no sand in the trunk box for weight to the trunk?

they are fighting their own initial bad plow job!!

This reminds me of the show "Ice Road Truckers". I would not choose that as an occupation. No way! Good Grief. How deep were these drifts? How long did it take to clear this whole area? It will happen for this will be repeated throughout the whole season.

Some drifts, for sure.

Love the smarty pants who have never plowed snow and don’t understand the reasoning behind this. Blowers are great and if they’re around (usually private contractors) they will be working somewhere. They can’t clear every road though so the guys go out with the V plows too, many of which the municipalities have owned for 50 years or more. To clear the roads they can and call the blowers for the rest.

Wow, reading comments from people who don't live in the plains states or prairie proivinces telling those who do , how to remove snow on flat land with wind every day.. FFS

Great video. As an observation vs criticism-complete drone footage would make this 10x better than it already is.

Better then the inch of snow we got here in eastern canada. I am kinda jealous

Looks like the winter of 96-97 in North Dakota. I had a buy tractor that year. My 79 ramcharger with 35s was no match for the 128 inches of snow we had in wishek nd. Couldn't get into the farm yard from Halloween until January 8th when I got the tractor. Fun fun.

Folks that snowplow roads like this are local farmers picking up winter work… they know exactly where the roads are.

Need "traction for action" ruclips.net/video/Y-KGQhHLuVI/видео.html

I seen an oshkosh plow through snow between 4 and 5 ft once. He went much slower, had all four corners chained up and as he went through he would lift slightly on plow for more wt on front wheels. He muscled right on through.

Oh ok...you reposted last years videos just edited together

I'm in North Dakota. I feel your pain lol

This is now a area where a blower is required

Is that a Walter truck?
