@The Real VR Gotta love you snowflake armchair critics that think you know everything and everyone, you guys just crack me up. First off, this plow system was first produced in Missouri, late 2005, which means it could not possibly have been used on the 400 series highways for "at least two decades now" because even in 2021 it's only been out for less than 16 years total. Secondly (because I'm sure you couldn't be bothered to notice before spurting out gibberish), the comment you are commenting on (and of course judging my whole carrier on) is over 9 years old. Which means that at the time of my comment, these things were only on the road ANYWHERE ON THE PLANET for approximately 6-7 years TOPS. At that time most of these units were VERY expensive and sold exclusively in the states until offered for sale globally. Thus there probably wasn't any up here or if there was there were very few at the time of the original comment. So yes, it's quite possible at that time to not have seen any of these on the roads up here yet. Like MTO had the budget for that new set up right away regardless. And of course, third. Now that you know everything about my life, lets now tell other people how buddy could never of been a trucker or never been here or there a day in his life and blah, blah, blah. I've had my big ticket since before you were probably even born. Oh and by the way, what the hell is a winnipecker? Enjoy your self righteousness there snowflake, be sure to spread more gobbly goo where ever and whenever you can, it seems to make the world go round these days.
As a truck driver that has been over a lot of our highways and bi-ways many times, I have never seen a dual set up like that on a snow plow before. That was honestly pretty cool to see in this video. Wonder at the difference between the single and the dual...? Anyone out there know?
If you mean truck, typically 5 tons, while running the same engine as a deuce n a half, the 5 ton general has higher torque. Definitely want that when pulling that trailer. Don't think you mean trailer, but if you do, I don't think you can run a plow like that on a single axle. The balance and dynamics of force would be to much. I'm also realizing this post is 3 years old... but I'm this far so I'm posting anyway.
I'm from Texas and it scares the shit outta me to think about tryin to drive on that. I give kudos to the folks that do it successfully every winter up north👍👍 yall are somethin else.
you should come up to where these plows are built and drive in our snow...lol one place just south of us got like 7 feet in two days..it snows so hard at times we can't see out our house windows..and yes i'am serious..look up tug hill weather or lake effect snow..the record is 8 feet of snow in 24 hours a few years back.
I had a hard time figuring out how that thing worked. Quite an unusual contraption, In deep snow you would think, being off to the side, that it would kind of jack the truck around. Cool video. I bet as a driver, you would have to stay extremely focused. I would think if you let your guard down for a second, that thing could get away from you.
Never knew these tow plows existed...I guess when you live in the Midwest you need all the best snow removal equipment you can get your hands on..awesome video on snow plowing while towing form behind...
+modotvideo I live in NE Ohio . This video is considered flurries. I wonder if this would survive on I-90 east of Cleveland in the snowbelt where 2" of snow an hour can be common.
+M22OHIO If it can survive in Ashtabula then it must be a good plow. Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula are in the middle of the snow belt. Thankfully I don't have to drive in that any frequently.
Excellent looking piece of equipment. Sure saves time and cuts a wide path on two lane highways. I see you haven't encorporated the new LED lights yet. They are amazing and certainly focus driver attentions towards the snow plow operator. They are two to three times brighter than conventonal lights and are visible over a kilometer away. I've seen them mainly on highway police cars ut now our provincial government are going to use them.
Probably. After seeing how close traffic was to the truck in the first clip it wouldn't surprise me. You'd think that they wouldn't want salt/sand sprayed onto their vehicles.
atleast one woman tried and it blew her ass right off the highway.. this plow is built in the home town I live in and from what I hear it's pretty popular.
All they have to do is report an illegal passing to their dispatch...most snow plows are Dot workers and all they have to do is get your plate number and phone it in. If the cops can't pull you over you end up with a traffic violation ticket in your mail box. At least that's how they do it in Iowa, laws are obviously different from State to state.
@@TheRealBmanswan Hey, I asked a little further up in the thread, but you commented a mere 14 hours ago, so I will ask you. I'm a truck driver, been over the road for several years, have seen and even followed MANY a plow truck, but I have never ever seen a dual set up like this one in the video before. Do you know if that is a general "thing", or is it relegated to just one or two different states? Also, other than the obvious benefits of being able to clear two lanes of travel simultaneously, is there any other uses for a dual set up like that? I'm seriously curious and if you know and wouldn't mind answering, I would be appreciative. ☮️
Both truck and trailer plow have full loads of salt on them also, so their traction is pretty good. We see them on Michigan expressways after a anow. 2 people can cover alot of roadway with these. You run two of these combinations along with just a regular dump ttuck plow and you get 4 lanes and the
Right I hate when they're out plowing nothing like yesterday and the day before there was like a eighth inch of snow and they were out plowing the roads here in minnesota
I'm a plow truck driver and one thing that really irritates and scares me at the same time is when certain people just cannot wait and half to pass me around a bend, on a hill, or into oncoming traffic, causing me to slam on my brakes so your impatient self can get infront of me so I don't see a fatal head on collision with a semi coming the other way. People please be patient and let us do our job so you can get to your destination safely, better off being a little late than being dead.
@@seadragon1456 You must live in the south part where you get 6 or less inchs a year... The north gets on average 10 to 16 inchs a year (Kirksville & Trenton got over 15 inchs)
they have a video that is pushing way more snow, and it looks pretty wet too. Im from northern Manitoba, and thought the exact same thing....i literally laughed out loud at this video, but the other one did it justice.
@@MrKabDrivr because the snow left over is already smoothed out by the first plow which will freeze fast and become a sheet of ice. If you notice that compacted snow is in the middle of the road where people have to cross to merge or switch lanes. Would you want to switch lanes on ice going 50-70 mph on a highway? Anything over 30 would get you hurt as is so this keeps the roads clean from packed snow that turns to ice it also pushes any ice that has formed off the road. I figured it was common sense to know this stuff if you have a license.
That is a brilliant design. Both sets of wheels on the towed plow turn at the same time to cause it to angle out while it's plowing. When you're done, simply turn the wheels straight again and it pulls like a regualr trailer only taking up one lane. That thing saves paying one less plower driver.
Yes, He Is. There is a thin layer he is removing. If that layer wasn't removed, it would build-up and get worse. Show some respect, please. He is protecting the safety of his community.
BC has some, 100k ea i heard, in colo you can pass the plows, because the snow is light and fluffy, wet snow states usually make that illegal, as you may get your windows broken out. I drive a small plow, but i have seen 15 plows plow i25 thru the city after blizzards
Sadly, as someone who lives in a area that gets 8 feet of snow per winter, I know this contraption is pure government waste. The same coverage can be accomplished, with greater safety and far less taxpayer cost, with the plow truck having a second wing plow. No trailer plow needed.
In the province of B.C. where I live in Canada, some of the mountain passes can get 4" in a half hour. I've seen your tow plow on plow trucks spun out on hills and not able to move with both drive axles chained up and blocking both lanes of traffic.
California kid here was going to Montana and seen this in front of my truck. Though he lost control cause he went from 1 lane action to 2 lane action after a curve going uphill. It was nuts
has anybody seen these work in deep snow? i havent seen any in michigan yet. just wondering if their more for the states that dont get much snow. either way it would suck to be behind one.
I just saw one of these one of these on the highway on my way to work. It was in front of me a ways and because it was dark I couldn’t make out what it was. I thought I was approaching an accident b/c it looked like a fire truck parked sideways with its lights blinking. Thank Christ it was traveling the same speed as me or else I would’ve shat myself. It was plowing 3 of the four lanes on the interstate, I was amazedI. I had never seen one of these before. That’s one cooler things I’ve seen. Snow plows are somewhat satisfying in a weird way. Like those trains that plow and then big things like this!
@boltcrank42 lol, true. Driving around on slippery roads is fun in a rear wheel drive, but when you get a foot of the white stuff and the plows have left 3 foot walls at the mouth of every side street and the minor roads aren't even plowed at all, it makes it a little tough to get around without the 4x4. Anyway, keeps the soccer moms off the road. Cheers.
@bmwrallysport One driver... joystick for the front plow and another 4 way joy stick controlles the tow plow up and down and steers the trailer wheels in and out.
have you ever been to northern michigan? the plows only plow at 45 to 50mph on a highway were everybodys going 70 to 80mph. a tight formation wouldnt work here. as people coming up on alot slower traffic would cause accidents. mabey were crazy but were going that fast before,during and after the road is plowed.
Yeah, they have truck-mounted wing plows in every state that gets snow, but this thing clears a swath at least three times wider than a standard truck-mounted wing plow. You've gotta admit that's pretty cool.
Ive seen these in Michigan but only in the early morning before dawn. I described it to someone who was born and raised in the state and he had no idea what I was talking about.
@fier23 so you would rather there be no plow drivers on the road so as soon as you leave your driveway, you'd get stuck cause there wouldn't be plows removing snow?
2 and a half? It's a trailer which only works till the driver screws up, or the trailer does then the road is blocked. If you look at the video it does nothing as the road is already cleared, and on the roads which are not cleared I can still see a lot of snow and ice. On top of all that it blocks a lane of traffic while it is in use.
I live in North East Ohio, this area is no joke when it comes to what is called "Lake affect snow". But I have never seen anything like that before in my life, that was the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I am a driver, I am having a good time watching this machine track behind the dump truck when he was getting of on the off ramp, and then how it swings out on the straight away's. Is it possible to back that tow plow up at all, or strictly forward motion?

looks like a pretty cool idea! i wonder how it would handle heavy accumulated snow, seems to me it might have a bit of trouble but who knows!

That's where I live! It's weird I was looking at show chain videos and found this
@sweetskier4lyf
Yes, but it's a union job. I'm surprised the snowplows aren't out in the middle of July!
I salute this skill of the driver to keep us on the road. Salute you Sir wherever you are we are very proud of you. God bless America and our people.
Wally: Hey Stymie, where ya goin'?
Stymie: I don't know, but I'm on my way!
have you ever been to northern michigan? the plows only plow at 45 to 50mph on a highway were everybodys going 70 to 80mph. a tight formation wouldnt work here. as people coming up on alot slower traffic would cause accidents. mabey were crazy but were going that fast before,during and after the road is plowed.
Well as unique as this trailer plow is ... I have seen in OR and WA a secondary side plow that swing up and down on the right side of the truck.
Yeah, they have truck-mounted wing plows in every state that gets snow, but this thing clears a swath at least three times wider than a standard truck-mounted wing plow. You've gotta admit that's pretty cool.
Ive seen these in Michigan but only in the early morning before dawn. I described it to someone who was born and raised in the state and he had no idea what I was talking about.
wow those cutting edges must get wore quick at that speed. but thats pretty cool
This seems like it would be a challenge to drive is there a separate steering wheel for the trailor plow?
Does the tank contain ice melt fluid?
why do they not have these where i live?
@fier23 so you would rather there be no plow drivers on the road so as soon as you leave your driveway, you'd get stuck cause there wouldn't be plows removing snow?
whats the name of that trunk called the Road Hog
@528jkl And sending 2 trucks out to do the same job is less expensive and more efficient???
2 and a half? It's a trailer which only works till the driver screws up, or the trailer does then the road is blocked. If you look at the video it does nothing as the road is already cleared, and on the roads which are not cleared I can still see a lot of snow and ice. On top of all that it blocks a lane of traffic while it is in use.
@MonsterDUBNasty so it's operated with a separate joystick i'm guessing? Sorry i'm just really curious about these trailors
I live in North East Ohio, this area is no joke when it comes to what is called "Lake affect snow". But I have never seen anything like that before in my life, that was the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. I am a driver, I am having a good time watching this machine track behind the dump truck when he was getting of on the off ramp, and then how it swings out on the straight away's. Is it possible to back that tow plow up at all, or strictly forward motion?
Never seen it done like that! I live in the snow belt in Ontario
i saw one of these today shaving back the snow bank of a round-about, it nearly took out a sign in the process
