Grader plowing snow Video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWuu9aPrekA
Now that is one he// of a benching wing. Grandpa we had grass sticking out until this week.
I remember as a lad, 1950s, riding with my uncle Hurley as he plowed under state contract with his fairly new then Austin Western road patrol. 4-71 Detroit. We were always chained up and the travel was slow. When they started putting big horsepower and speed into the graders is when they became a really effective snow plowing machine. Today they plow at 30 MPH throwing the same snow we only pushed to the side a 3 to 4 MPH. I still enjoy plowing snow with a grader but my little Cat 212 just does the driveway and yard when I want to play with it. I have a 1937 Model 11, wooden cab, with original factory installed plow and wing that needs replacing a sheared woodruff key or perhaps a busted shaft in the control box and then is hopefull ready to plow again. Maybe by next year.
