For those people wanting to know why the grader went down the center of that snowbank, you should listen to the two operators on the radio at the 2-minute Mark. The truck driver asked the grader operator if he should try to move the large snowbank. The Grader operator told him no, he would split it up first. Therefore, it sounds as if it probably would have been too much for the truck to easily plow through.

that would be correct answer. too much for the truck

@@pauliewalnuts7088 pretty easy.. truck has fixed flow that pushes the snow in one direction.. it would slow the truck down and start making it drift to the snow bank. the grader has a v plow so the snow will got both ways then the truck can come and hit each win row separately

Must be government snowplow drivers on overtime. Step 1, first driver in the truck clears the snow, the road looks pretty good. Step 2, driver in the grader, redeposits the snow from the area the truck just cleared. Step 3, refer to Step 1. I rest my case!! 😆

@davepenn9181 2 жыл бұрын

Right? Makes perfect sense to me too. If you want the snow to end up off to both sides, push it into the middle. These are the same people who brought us the $500 hammer and the $3200 toilet seat. And space shuttles that cost $5 billion apiece and crash every other time they take off. I suspect Brandon's behind the wheel. Let's go Brandon!

Cool video but as the comments show there are more Q then A. I could speculate but it would help if the poster could give us some details of why the snow seems to be moving around VS blowing pushing it well to the side.

@kevinkoz6296 2 жыл бұрын

To slow to blow the snow. We need to open the road 80ft wide. Plow truck is way faster. Just use the grader to split out the snow or it would pull the plow truck in.

@kevinkoz6296 2 жыл бұрын

Would never be able to push all the snow if we worked from the inside out. We work from the outside in. Grader with the v plow makes the first pass then the plow truck comes behind to push and throw the snow. Then we take another swipe with the v plow to cut out more snow working our way to the Center every time the plow truck throws it all to the outside. And yes I am the grader operator in this.
