Yeah, I would have to agree it’s more fun the more snow you have to push.

That’s why I plow

It’s a great setup. I bought the loader used and the dealer shipped it to the Hartland NB shop and had it installed by Craig.

I try my best not to push in driveways, you just have to go back and clean them up and put the snow right back where it was. Sometimes you can’t help it if the banks are just to big. The bank at the entrances of driveways are usually frozen harder anyway.

That was just a first pass, most of the road gets two passes second pass cleanup is when everything gets shoved back. First pass is just to get the bulk of the bank out of my way. I wasn’t running my tire chains either so I was probably being cautious about getting stuck.

Thanks for watching, sorry for the poor quality I set it to load the video in 720p but apparently it didnt

It was HD when i watched it so no harm.

Ok so I know that this is called shelfing and the idea is to cut the banks back so during the next storm you can put more snow there but my question is why not just wing it all the way down and push back farther?. Is it so the banks aren't so high?

There are a couple reasons I leave some bank behind. 1 is that the road is already plowed to the edge so scraping down to the ground means I have to deal with what ever is on the ground like rocks, stumps or just small humps in the ground. 2 it leaves a short bank so who ever plows next knows where the edge of the road is.

TB And so that any road traveler knows where the edge is ! I worked for the township in Canada 71-74 before the snow we cut & placed 1" poles (ends painted orange )at culvert ends, & rocks, stumps to avoid damages

We push back banks to make room for the next storm. I will push back banks at intersections so traffic can see oncoming traffic.

It is in Maine, thanks for watching

I use. GoPro Hero 6 and edit on my iPhone 7 Plus.

Same... so annoying to push it off with a shovel...

Western Maine, US

TB is this close to Sanford Maine?

I am actually about 3 hours north of Sanford, literally in the middle of nowhere.

TB it's nice to get away

Thanks for the compliment. Next time I’m out with the loader I’ll try to get some shots from in the cab.

The plow and wing were built and installed in Canada but I live in the US in the state of Maine.

What's the name of the company that makes those blades and wings?

Craig Manufacturing

Benching is a good name, but never heard of that before. Always by state and county, is winging.

Because that wing is pushing snow where the machine can’t go like out over ditches. If I was just using the front plow I would be backing up a lot more often and getting stuck in ditches on rocks and stumps and hitting a lot more tree limbs with my cab. The banks are already on the edge of the road.
