moving snow

[mikester]

Think of it as job security. Our township paid to repave a road last summer and they did a beautiful job. Then they went and saw cut and patched the newly made road in multiple spots. Seems like a theme - spend money, then spend more time and money to go fix what ain't broke. Now raise taxes.

"Perfect practice makes perfect". You practice something using wrong information or technique and you get real good at doing it wrong!!

Wow that brings back some memories.

My Drill Instructors said the exact same thing......and they were right.

Where were you in October 1989?

MCRD San Diego?

I plow about 1/2 mile of gravel road and like to keep my gravel roadbed in good shape. Here’s what has worked for me for many years: I keep my loader about 4” above the road. The purpose is pushing deep snow. I follow with my rear blade turned so the cutting edge faces backwards, and angle it to move snow off the road. I float the rear blade. With the cutting edge reversed, the blade will move snow without disturbing gravel. As far as I’m concerned, a front plow is best for paved surfaces or just holding it above the road like I do with the loader.
