Clean roads after a simple 30 step process!

That sidewalk jobby is god damn adorable.

So imagine..its 10 pm, you just start falling asleep only to be rustled out of bed by thqt tow truck. As you start to fight the noise and try to get back to a good REM sleep, you know its useless because the final boss 12V71 is only minutes away lolol

That small one cleaning the sidewalks seems like the most fun to drive.

Nothing like a screaming Jimmy at 2am on a Sunday night!

i am thorougly impressed by Montreal's winter street culture. Everyone moves their cars on cue, a big well-orchestrated team of of equipment is deployed and efficiently removes the snow from street and sidewalk and everyone moves their cars back.

That siren sounds like a 1980's video game.

With all of those machines they are just making sure that the snow doesn't come back in the future! Absolutely brilliant

Detroit in to wake up the neighborhood!! No better sound.

As a Montrealer, this is music to my ears. Also you learn to sleep through this all without even realizing. Sometimes.

Wow! A 6.5 diesel engine that still runs! The snow blower is awesome!

I was in Montreal and I could not believe how fast the snow was removed from the streets, if only Boston, NYC etc could do this.

The spin down while he waited for the empty truck to pull up 🤌

In Bob Ross " Now then, we want to cover our street canvas in a nice, thin coat of liquid snow white. Very thin now, that's very important. Now apply a little of the Black Ice Black and just tap that in, then pull it straight across to get a nice slick ice effect.When we come back we'll paint in all the happy little motorists and maybe we'll go crazy, what the heck, let's add in a few slippery pedestrians while we're at it

Having operated the JD 444, 544, 644, and 772, 872 motor graders... You make those look like little toys. What a joy they are!

That's quite an operation. And that looks like just a side street. Nice. We don't get that down in Idaho. Go Habs!!

12v71! the good ol' "Buzzin' Dozen!"

The 644 was pretty impressive with the straight blade. That was some serious snow in front of it and she walked right through it. Volvo grader operator gets high marks for technical skills. It seems strange to see the blade set to lay but that helps protect them without a trip edge. But the glorious two stroke waking up the neighbors is just wonderful!

Use to run a massive front end blower on a dozed with tracks up near Oswego to clear the 6 to 10 feet worth off snow, didn't have trucks available so we would through it 50 to 100 feet into the woods or behind peoples house when possible so much fun

0:45 Detroit diesel in the GMT400. I hear ya.

Love the grader , the workhorse of snow removal scraping-off thick layers of frozen ice away from streets and sidewalks

I worked in Sudbury over a hard winter and I can attest that Canadian snow removal is first class.

I think this is the most effort I’ve scene any city get rid of snow. And I’ve lived in alberta, bc, and Ontario

In France the whole country is on hold after 5 cms of snow. I'm truly amazed of this level of organization.

Detroit power 💪

12V71... the best way to convert diesel into noise.

The end reminds me of a Gary Oldman movie quote from 5th element." Take this empty street. Here it is, peaceful, serene and boring. But if it is snowed upon... Look at all these little things. So busy now. Notice how each one is useful. What a lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color.

Love the sound of that snowblower, reminds me as a kid I used to be obsessed with watching this process from my bedroom window when they did our street. Here they use regular size dump trucks, those semi dump trailers Montreal uses are pretty cool.

Hell yeah, brother!

WOW! I gotta say, I came over here because KZfaq knows I'm a sucker for the old 2-stroke Detroits (I reckon y'all haven't told Trudeau about them...)! But I gotta say, that Volvo grader impressed me! The only time we see graders around here (I live on a county hwy) is when the standard wing plow can't push the snow far enough off of the roadway - and they NEVER get the road that clean!

The sound of screaming eagles coming down your street 😅

Wow. Neat. Thanks

Now that place has more different snow equipment than I knew existed. Amazing!

Detroit Diesel; the sweetest music this side of heaven.

Wow !! Very impressed. When a plow comes down a side street in Buffalo,ny they just push the snow onto the parked cars . And take off mirrors and scrape cars . And that’s if they even come down the street .

i absolutely love the little machines ...

Молодцы,ребята работают.

I have the biggest respect for you guys that live up North. I'm from Texas........ I would die................

Damn!! That’s impressive!!

Awesome Video!

Well One of the best organized operations! Impressed!

That first little sidewalk monster is the shit

Impressive!

Thanks for filming.

so much fun

imagine if that snow thrower was literally 1 inch taller... or the semi trailers were 1 inch shorter..... how much less snow would hit the side and fall back on the street...

Legendary

In Hungary after 5 cm of snow the whole country collapses. It's officially end of the world for trains, trucks, cars. What I saw in this video is like watching aliens doing sci-fi things you know. This kind of operation would be unimaginable even in the capital of my country. You guys doing an amazing job, even if it's loud for some people.

Great teamwork!

That's quite the operation

A well oiled machine.

Why is this relaxing?? 😂

I love these videos. Reminds me of watching Official SWL Channel. He would always tell about these during the winter and how they used 27 MHz radios.

Nice to see a proper snowblower and not the blower attachment on front end loader as they used in my area. I still live in the city and love watching the clean up.

Cool channel ive subbbed youtube put it in my face sometimes they get it right watching trucks at work happy days 👍👍👍

Men at work

Haha no body is sleeping with that Scream’n Detroit running. Lo The coal mine i worked at had a whole fleet of the 12V149’s as well as the 16V149’s in their haul trucks. By the time I started working there, they had been retired to water trucks, so I spent a lot of time running them and the engine Sounds like it’s going to grenade at any time. Ha ha but they were actually quite reliable.

Blower needs a taller chute

What a racket!

Montreal winter silage chopping in action LOL!!! These guys would make one hell of a silage chopping crew!

I drove a truck with a Detroit in it. Love the sound, but they are damned loud (probably why I can't hear squat now 🙂

My last job had a couple of large air compressors. One had a 10v71 in it, and the other one had a 16v71. Also used to drive a wrecker that had a 8v71t in it. Not fast but it would pull about anything.

Красота 😊

Le budget déneigement doit être colossale ! C'est impressionnant !

Owner of towed car next morning- Sweet, streets look great! Where's my car?

It's an amazing amount of work for snow removal that I would not have imagined. It's 65° here in Central Texas Feb 5, but I'm not trying to rub it in..... it was over 110° most of last summer.... and it's beautiful in Canada all year. I feel for your troubles in winter, but I'm envious of the beauty. And water.

What a complicated operation! Count the number of different vehicles required to clear the snow

The buzzin dozen. Sad to see a single exhaust on it though.

👌👌👍

Imagine living in Chicago, they may send a plow down the middle twice a winter.

A perfect example of why I live in warm Southern California!!

💯

Wonder how long that Grader operator has been pleading his case for his terminal manager to add a counter weight to the front of his machine?

Sadly where I live in the states they will never put this kind of money into snow removal. As the late longtime mayor of my native city in Massachusetts said “I’m not spending much on something that will melt eventually. If people can’t deal with the snow there a place called Florida they can move to.” I guess he knew his constituents because they re-elected his ass for 30+ years until cancer got him.

Pretty efficient process. I suspect there’s certain nights that you park on each side of the street so they can clean everything.

Everyone really wanted in on that snow before it was taken away. 😄

They have removed the front blade from the Volvo grader and so it is missing needed weight from front axle and continously struggles to keep straights. Front blade is for removing snow in front of the tractor and that midblade under frame is for high definity removal in height and surface finnish purposes. They should at least bolt on some weights at the nose. All the sound alarm elements seems more like north korean show and punishment to car owners than having working city and flexibility in snow removal. I am sure this looks awesome to foreigners. In Finland it is not this organized, but neither are nobody woke up, they just do their work without fanfares every day and night for 6 months of a year. Think about this happening everytime there is snowfall. :D Using long nose sleeper cab trucks on tight streets seems also like the brightest idea ever.

Montreal car alarm siren goes crazy

Just.. wow. Nowadays here in Finland the snow is just left on the streets for days, then maybe most of it is plowed on the side of the street. Budget cuts due to aiding Ukraine, thanks a lot.

Just wait a few years…….We can’t move the snow because all the batteries are froze up and won’t charge! Sorry see ya next spring!

Thought this was a model train set 😂😂

Did they push that same pile with like 4 different machines

You guys in Canada are so lucky your snow removal is on point! In America's cities it is horrible we don't have roadsized snow blowers and also don't have smaller plow machines so if you live on a side street in the city you are completely screwed.

Imagine how much gas / fuel all the vehicles used just for 1 street.

The amount of potholes must be outrageous

For all the people who wanted to sleep in late, Ha! That screaming Jimmy will not have any part of that!

My community could learn a thing or ten about how to clear streets after a snowfall. We are pretty much packed snow/ice on all our city streets from November through April because they never scrap the roads. Never push the snow back as far as the curb. Come spring the road has upwards of 6 inches of ice on it and the snowbanks are over 2 feet away from the curb resulting in huge snowbanks that clog sewer drains resulting in flooded roadways until someone (non-city employee) goes and finds the storm drain and digs it out.

Well i'll be dammed they still exist!

Wow, so machine-labor intensive, with all those repeated passes. Must be some serious tax revenue in Montreal! In the little town next to us they have a pretty congested, one lane each way, Main Street, with diagonal parking on both sides. So when it snows a lot, they simply create a temporary snow-median between the lanes. Then they use a cool conveyor machine that “eats” that snow-median and exits the snow into dump trucks following it. The machine looks like it is from the 1950’s, but it sure does work!

Here in Calgary, after a huge snowfall, crews come along a few days later, shove it all over to the side of the road. It takes up half a lane usually, they don't do side roads like this though. Then, the best part is, it sits there until we get a chinook and melts! Nothing like massive puddles of slush and filthy water everywhere that freeze at night!

I still think my favourites are the little ones that clear the sidewalks though...

J'habite en montagne, en Suisse et je suis impressionné par le nombre de machines utilisées et le nombre de passages pour juste enlever un peu de neige. C'est vraiment pas efficace comme manière de faire, pourquoi faire simple quand on peut faire très compliqué. Heureusement qu'on ne fait pas comme ça en Suisse, on aurait jamais fini. Dans leur cas ça serait réglé en un seul passage avec la fraiseuse et hop direct sur le camion et c'est terminé.

and itll all be back in the morning

That blower chute could be about a foot talker.

Whoever thought a poor rendition of an AC/DC riff would be come a siren sound? Oh you silly Canadians. You elect trudoof and wreck classic rock. But that 12V71. Pure Ear Porn. Lovely.

Anybody that watches this and doesn't understand why they're doing it this way : Look up videos on how fields of crops like Corn or Triticale are mowed, raked, and eventually chopped and collected for transport to be stored in vertical silos. I would bet money this snow removal process was invented by Agro folks (which would make sense given how much of the Canadian economy was agro-based for the longest time). They are basically running the same processes for chopping and collecting silage, but with snow lol. As an American that lives below the section of the country that gets lake effect snow, I can count on one hand the number of times in my life I've seen this much snow, and it basically grinds life to a halt while our (in comparison) modest dump-based plows just push it around to make one passable lane. If you're dealing with this kind of volume of snow (and I bet this happens multiple times a season), this is probably one of the better ways to do it to *actually get the majority of the snow* (with which how much snow you get in a place like Canada, I feel like it's not going to be like most places in the United States where after a couple weeks you get temps above freezing and it all melts) The only places in the states that probably deal with this volume of snow that are equipped to do anything like this are in the "Snow Belt", and even then I don't think they dedicate this kind of manpower to actually collecting it this thoroughly. Thanks to the content creator for posting this, it was very interesting to watch as someone who thinks 6 inches of snow is "a lot" (lol)

Man those Detroits are obnoxious. I love it.

This is how water is harvested

Парни, открою вам секрет. Прийдет весна и весь снег сам сойдёт и не нужно его никуда убирать. Точно говорю.

Сразу видно - загнивают !
