NH snowplow

[dbelisle]

There are more and more tractors being used in this area for snowplowing. Here is a NH waiting for the next storm.

Looks like a warm way to plow if it's got to be done.

From the looks of the plow blade it opens up to form a box shape. Am I correct in that assumption ?

I haven't seen this unit with the blade open . But the other units in the area open up to a 45 so they scoop the snow.

It doesn't take them long to do the big Kmart or Walmart lots with these units

"...the other units in the area open up to a 45 so they scoop the snow."

So what this one does is, essentially, just push the snow? Where? Into Vermont? Living in Texas, I'm just trying to understand this. Thanks!

Dave: Attached is a picture of my NH8970 I use to do the mountain ridge road for the state. The drifts are to deep usually for the dump trucks and plows so they contract it out to me when it get's deep enough (>6").

Some NH towns use road graders to clear snow. Their moldboard clears the street while the wingplow pushes it out to the stonewalls /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif . I like the turbo diesel graders.....hearing the turbo whine while enjoying the snowfall is a simple pleasure here in NH!

I used to plow snow with a KUbota M-120 with a 14 foot blade on the FEL (like that).

In my opinion a backbone mounted blade is FAR superior. Ag tractor FELs just aren't strong enough for serious plow duty.

We use to plow the county roads with a big Stieger. It had a large blade on front with a side wing. Nothing stopped that thing. You wouldn't believe the snow it would push out to the side. But then that wasn't a true FEL either.
