So many professors here… It is sunny and after two days the road will be dry. If you leave it without cleaning every day will melt a little bit and every nine will freeze like glass maybe for a week or more.
I see a lot of people complaining and arguing. I think it really depends on where you live. I live in the southwest (USA). It usually warms up in the daytime above freezing. If you get the snow off quickly the rest will melt off and be gone within hours or a day. I understand that would not work in other areas or the U.S., but here it works just fine. 😊
I’m from up north. All roads in the winter are ice roads. Only people who want to waste money salt them or drive cars because they don’t think about seasonal changes.
@@scooterp7009 I live near the 36th parallel and we get snow, it just doesn't hang around long. Our long, steep driveway is mostly gravel and shale, and on a south-facing hill, and is in the sun on cloudless days. When we get a few inches of snow, I can ignore the driveway and it stays snow-covered for several days, depending on the temps. It melts off at the same speed as the lawn. Unless we drive on it, then we pack the snow and it becomes icy. This lasts for sometimes days after the snow on the grass has melted. But, instead of driving on it, I can use a backpack blower if the snow is dry, or a snow shovel to remove most of it when it's wet. Bear in mind the driveway is rocky, and can't be scraped clean. But by removing most of the snow early in the morning, the sun beats down on it during the day, and it is usually clear and dry by mid afternoon. Even when the grass remains snowy for a few more days, our driveway is clear. What we watched in the video reminded me of when I removed the top layer of snow early, allowing the sun to do it's thing, maybe that's what was happening here? It was just a thought.
German here. My Catholic grandfather did the same in About 1920 to 1930. Couple of years ago I constructed and build a 3 m (10 ft.) V-snowplow for the front 3-point-hitch of our 170 HP tractor with 3 rollers, hydraulically extendable (like a tiny landing gear) for additional gravel road use of the snow plow. Works great up to 60 cm (2 ft) of snow. 😎 Amish, you can't stop the progress by living in the past. 😉
Looks to be about 6 in. high so would prob work fine for much more than that considering you’re going to be making another pass to get back to your house.
Depends on the angle of attack of the cutting edge, that'll determine if it will tend to bite in or glide over the snow. That and weight, cant really tell from the vid.
I’m born and raised in the desert. That is funny looking sand. Folks are calling it “snow”. I thought I’d seen all the kinds of sand. But you do learn something new every day.
They had this in our area many years ago. For some reason they don't use it any more and have small narrow trucks with a snow plow at the front for smaller paths and regular big snow plow trucks for the streets. Well, I see some possible reasons in the comments. ... All right, I think, when it works fine and you have it, then use it! Why not. Make your roads so that you can use it (rather flat without obstacles) and you are OK with some powdery snow and this tool.
Years ago I took one of those 8’ folding tables, that folded up in the middle. Unfolded it in a V, attached a 2x6 both top and bottom and one in the middle, chained middle one to my bumper and put two eye bolts and ran cable from my winch so I could raise and lower it. It worked for two seasons until the table broke in half. 😅
I grew up in East Tennessee, in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. Our winters were a crap shoot, but sometimes we'd get a good, legitimate snow. Well, we had someone in the valley who'd get his tractor and grader blade and clear ONE... SINGLE... PATH... down the middle of the road, and nothing more. Twas all great and gravy... until you met someone going the other way! Driveways would get piled up, and you still needed (or at least had an easier time with) 4‐wheel drive vehicles. I always planned, were I to move back there or somewhere similar, to do the same, but make two passes and clear both lanes. Some like to argue that it doesn't help, but when the storm passes and the sun comes out, it leaves the sun less to melt off the street.
I've been doing this for years. I have three of these mobile home bolt on tongues. Cheap and super easier on your rig. No torn up front suspension or expensive hydraulics. I just back to in and grab the chain. Drop it on the hutch ball and return it to it's spot. A real no brainer. Haha Dandahermit ( up in the mountains
Growing up we had a Mile long driveway that had to get graveled, my stepdad and my brother and I didn’t want to rent machinery to spread the gravel out or do it by hand. So we grabbed a 8x10 foot section of regular metal fencing (poles and all) set it down and put some cinder blocks on top, attached it to our lawn mower with chains and had that gravel spread out and done so quickly.
That’s how old plow looks with heavy block on top to keep it down and horses to pull that thing at the time I was 8years old and sitting on the plow or the horse thank u for bringing back memories
Weld 8" road to the top pointing straight up. Maybe 3 or 5 in total on each end and in the middle and maybe two more between those three locations. For weights
we made similar contraptions to groom snowmobile trails. You could never keep up with the snow around here if you were trying to clear anything. they just ride on top of the snow and smooth it out.
There are a lot of " experts" in this comment section crying like this will leave ice. But the blade is doing a fine job for the conditions plus he will probably drag it back Home. The sun will melt off what is left when conditions improve.
@@Unmannedair I disagree. If you take some screen shots and examine them closely you will see brackets for cross members and other shapes that are unlike parking curbs. If it is concrete it would have to be purpose built. But whether I am mistaken or not the device is still working well. It is working just as well a my 8 foot Leon 3 point Blade. Best Wishes! M.H
Seems it would be perfect for a very long driveway but storing, hooking and unhooking, and turning around might be a hassle, and backing up would obviously be impossible. Another issue would be creating a snow burm on both sides of the road instead of only the leeward side so as not to cause excess accumulation on the road. Plus you’ll still need something else to plow around the house, barn, courtyard, etc., so I’d prob stick with my 3 seat Polaris Ranger 1000 with a 6ft. poly blade and just switch the angle on the return trip to push everything leeward and still only be making 1 out and back pass.
Oh my God!!! This guy is a freaking genius. You know how much of a pain in the butt it is to put my snow plow on the front of my truck to plow the road for my neighbors.
Great in traffic or any 3,4,5,6 lanes of traffic??? Don't pass anyone ever, and if something jumped in front of you and went under both sets of tires then what??? Does "Rocky" the raccoon go cart-wheelin right on through someone's screen door, on the front porch??? I give you props, I live in Maine, we have a lot dirt roads and a lot snow!!! You are taking advantage of lost potential energy, you still would have to return trip anyway!!! Turning around and bumpy dirt roads might be a hassle, but under the right application, nice fellas, nice!!!
I made something like this when my tractor was broken down and I couldn’t get my car out of the driveway. I pulled it behind my pickup and it worked great
It seems to be a bit to light and a rod instead of the rope would make it following smoother. At my birthplace we hat a bigger version of it where we as childs acted as moveable weights and helped at smal turns - most of the time it was just fun
W latach 70-80 w ten sposób odśnieżali drogi zwłaszcza na wioskach to była samoróbka trochę większa cięższa zapewne ale skuteczna rolnicy sami się angażowali z własnymi traktorami co lepszymi w zaprzęgu nie kiedy odśnieżali . I śniegu było wtedy sporo. Piękne zimy były.
Looks like it works great for those super intense weather events when up to a half inch of snow falls!
yeah, it looks more like a trail groomer than a plow.
You just gotta keep up on it that's all.
Perfect for my son's 2 track trail to his off grid property. (Little wide)
So many professors here…
It is sunny and after two days the road will be dry. If you leave it without cleaning every day will melt a little bit and every nine will freeze like glass maybe for a week or more.
Looks like it can plow up to 4 inches! Wow! So impressive
@@Jason_and_Ginalyn_Cooking don’t knock 4 inches until you try it!

Better to just leave the snow there
@@cantstanddogs4776If it's going to be a sunny day, removing this top coat of snow may let the sun melt the ice?

The sun partially melts the snow and turns it into ice .

We used a mobil home tongue with railroad track bolted to the top of the beams for weight, did great work
WOW! SO COOL!! GOOD JOB FIRST TIME!!
My Amish farmer has one similar, pulls it with his horses.

Amish, you can't stop the progress by living in the past. 😉
My Amish neighbors do as well-a little bigger and heavier for deeper snow and to allow a place to drive the horses from.
You own an amish farmer?
@@deadbeats4894 No I don't own an Amish farmer. I pick up milk for 70 Amish Farms. One one of my Amish farms I pick up has a plow similar to that.
My Amish parachuting coach has one too.
Mine is heavier and has a chain link fence attached (about 4 feet) to keep is straight. I'm good up to about 5" depending on type of snow also.
Helps if yours house has a circle driveway
Good information 👍
@@missingremote4388 brain 🧠 bleed
1 upper I see
That’s what she said
Works great for 1 to 2 inches of snow
You really don’t know what ur talkin bout
LOL exactly
Which, let's be honest, isn't even enough to need plowed.
Looks to be about 6 in. high so would prob work fine for much more than that considering you’re going to be making another pass to get back to your house.
@@jimshorts5970I feel sorry for your wife if that's what you consider to be 6 inches
Works great on an empty road with no oncoming traffic..
It’s a driveway.
Ya think?
Works fine for what he's doing. Nothing wrong with that.
Works great for powder snow. Epic failure for the wet snow
Yup
Weight it down and it may surprise us but I think you're probably right 👍
Depends on the angle of attack of the cutting edge, that'll determine if it will tend to bite in or glide over the snow. That and weight, cant really tell from the vid.
How do you know? Are you the guy driving this?
Just wanted to use the phrase 'epic fail'.
I’m born and raised in the desert. That is funny looking sand. Folks are calling it “snow”. I thought I’d seen all the kinds of sand. But you do learn something new every day.
This is probably a rural area, we make do with what we have. It’s not like harbor freight is a few blocks away.
No but Amazon can deliver a real plow, not that this area would need it for that small amount of snow

My amish neighbor has been plowing like that for decades.
You mean pollock
He drives a truck?
@jhfl1881 No. He pulls it behind a horse. If it's a deep snow, he used 2.

If you stack the other one on it and bolt the plates together it should work twice as good.
Now that's thinkin'!! Great idea brother! 💡 👍
i agree, because it seems like it would double the total weight and also double the plowing capacity
My grandfather did this in the 1930s in Germany. With a horse. Without RUclips. So his act of heroism was only documented by a photo. 😄
brave man
🤣🤣🤣🤣 a photo is evidence!

Wouldn't be good up here where I live 😆.our last snow on x ma's day was over three foot
Same here. Just wouldn't work 😢.
Needs more weight but a great idea. Nice job

That's adorable!
This seems to work perfectly on minimal amounts of snow that probably didn't need plowed in the first place.

와. 쉽고 좋은 제설작업이네요. 😂
素晴らしいアイデアですね。
Use to do this with horses years ago
Still a really thoughtful way to clear snow
Not.
Work smarter not harder 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Super innovative for sure. I'm stealing this idea lol
That looks wonderful. Really wonderful.
Great use of materials and if it works for you that's a WIN ,Thank you for the video
Wow 👏 quick and easy. Great job .
That's only a couple inches of snow. Just enough to clear with your leaf blower..
Weld 8" road to the top pointing straight up. Maybe 3 or 5 in total on each end and in the middle and maybe two more between those three locations. For weights
Love the idea! Even a truck with a snow plow doesn't get everything. You knock those few inches off so the sun can heat the road and melt the rest.
Sweet little tool!!!
멋지다. 우리도 도입하자.
I used to do this on the farm I grew up on. My dad made one. Pretty simple concept.

That's not a blade. That's two concrete parking guards bolted together. That's why it's heavy enough to do that.

Looks like works good for small amount of snow. Cool.
Build a spot for cinder blocks to sit on
Try putting on the front of the truck, works better.
Lol
That would be way too dangerous… when all the kids ride on it.

Saves on that front end a little bit
For everyone blasting this guy and his plow.... sure beats the hell out of the shovel you're holding!!!
Not really. Road was safer before he plowed it. And an actual plow like the rest of us use would more effectively do that job

Is living in snowfall regions fun?
It doesn’t seem fun to me, but genuinely interested to know if it is enjoyable or just what you have to tolerate
What r u using plz tell me the specs 👓 everyting
I'd honestly do this for my driveway if it was longer haha, I need a plow for my parking lot as I calls it
Is that angle iron or just part of a roof truss? Or a DIY thing?
Sweet and cost-saving when the snowfall is considerably slower. I'm sure with a little more weight it would scrape better.
Прикольно конечно если эта дорога ведущая лично к твоему владению!
That’s pretty cool.
