When I was a kid back in the day I saw two grader operators running old 12 E’s put their mold boards together to form a ‘V’ and matched their speed while cleaning out big parking lots. When the snow they were pushing built up and got to heavy they just steered away from each other. I’ve never seen anyone do it since and I never had the nerve to try it with anyone while running expensive modern machines but watching them do that has always stuck with me. Those were the men back then who spent their lives on graders blading gravel roads in summer and snow in winter, guys who ended up with hearing aids later in life from those noisy old beasts.
I run a grader during winter operations. I’m always very careful to bench the snow way up as your drifts the next storm will be worse. I also lift my wing up a little so there is a defined shoulder. I plowed a road once and I left the road looking like a 50’ wide freeway. Cars couldn’t see the ditch vs the road and I had people off the road. I learned to just lift the blade closest to the grader about 6” so traffic has a line to define the edge of the roadway.

How many decades or years old is this video anyway? 50yrs perhaps
This model of cat grader was launched to the market in mid or late 90's i think, so no more than 25 years
