Mr. Plow finished duty as a runway snowblower and came to reside in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan to clear a private road. Here he is in action to take care of a nice overnight snow.
Mr. Plow is a Norland Idaho snowblower toting a 500 horsepower CAT diesel moving all the snow the U.P. can throw it's way.

Love this beast. Makes my JD 1025r with a 56” blower on the front look like a tonka toy. I could clear my 600’ driveway in 5 minutes with that beast!!

Do residents with roadside mailboxes have a marker stick attached that can be seen when the snow piles up? Has the blower ever eaten a mailbox?

@irontrails906 Жыл бұрын

The post office stopped delivering this year, so most of the mailboxes came out. I hit a 4x4 post, I heard it but didn't see where it went and it didn't sheer a pin.

@@irontrails906 I worked for PennDot in the 80's and early 90's, they used to have me ride shotgun in an OskKosh Blower with an Old Man to keep him awake, one night he sucked up a dead dog that hadn't frozen yet, he was pretty rattled until I came back and told him it was a dog. They eventually took him off blowers when he drove by a house and took all the front windows out of it not adjusting his chute, the couple were at home too, blew the wife right out her chair, glass and snow everywhere, the old boy has probably been gone for years now.

If you get enough snow, you eventually reach a point during the winter that you no longer have room to plow the snow. May not happen where you are, but there are plenty of places where it does.

Diesel must be cheap to run a 500hp instead of a plow with 1/4that power,but then you end up with snow banks that will cause snowdrifts.Can’t win.

@irontrails906 Жыл бұрын

A neighbor shares in the plowing. But we have to keep the banks cut back and two lanes open for UPS to visit. And the U.P. isn't known for cheap fuel - at least I can run off road in it...
