How do you plow snow?

[Shawn T. W.]

This is from last year, first and only time I cleared the snow ... Usually it's melted by the time I get home, as I'm a long distance over the road truck driver, and gone for weeks at a time ... If I had my pickup, I would have just driven through it like my neighbors do ... But I had me semi-truck, and a light load, backed off the road and got stuck on flat ground!

We had gotten about 6" the previous day and cold, and it had started to warm up as I was getting home and it was getting soft, packed to ice under my tires ...

No pictures of the '55 Dodge?

Oh, OK:

How do y'all remove snow? Plow truck, snowblower, 3-point back blade, etc.
Our primary snow mover is the 1989 Jeep Cherokee XJ with a 6'6" Western snowplow. It does a real good job with a front diff lock, 5 speed with the 4.0L. It's nice to have a heated cab. Traction becomes an issue in wet, sloppy spring snows though. View attachment 4419913

Nice! I can see why that one is not your plow truck!

I have a ‘51 Dodge M37 (Korean War pickup truck). It’s very mechanically sound (engine & transmission rebuilt, brakes upgraded, etc), but it’s more of a “work in the woods” truck (or occasionally haul a pile of kids for some parade or other event. I’ve been debating adding a plow, but Vermont winters are not nice to vehicles: I just have not been able to bring myself to subject it to all of the road salt. I did get tempted when a local friend advertised a nice Fisher plow for sale.

That's the glossiest Rat Rod patina I've ever seen. Nice

Nice truck. Who did the louvers?

Here's my rig that I usually use. More serious snow gets the chained up green tractor, but there's no cab on that...

Here is a UTV and plow I operated years ago.

Nice truck. Who did the louvers?

The truck is the way we bought it (including the louvers), primer, partially sanded back over the earlier red paint. I did a wipe-on clear to keep the primer from rusting. After two years we're still unsure if we're going to paint it. Probably not.

The rat rod look is in, I think it looks good just the way it is.
