Battling snow for days.

What happens here

Inspect the cutting edge of the snow pushers and plows. Using a visual check, verify that there is at least a quarter-inch of blade material remaining before the base metal is exposed. This is crucial for effective snow removal and to prevent damage to the equipment or paved surfaces. Discuss different blade types, such as winter equipment cutting edges used by the DOT, which have a longer, straight edge that might help with back-dragging but could affect other operations.

Goal: Ensure snowplow blades are in good condition for operation.

Tools and materials

  • Snow Pusher — Clearing large volumes of snow
  • Winter Equipment Cutting Edge — A heavy-duty blade for specific applications like DOT work

like crap but it is what it is so you can see right here see where the edge is there's about a quarter of an inch of Blade left right there oh so that's what you're checking right there okay if at any point you see that getting down to this metal here yeah we're stopping okay for some reason we wore through a whole set of edges this year yeah yeah and I've put them on I don't know when right before we fly yeah right before yeah this is our I think it was a combination of the low Cutting Edge and I think that we're kind of riding on the bucket back heavy a little bit and I was kind of looking at that Cutting Edge over there that winter equipment one oh it's got that long straight edge that might help this this plow from riding back but the thing is that affects its back dragging quality yeah right so it's like that might be a good alternative but at the same time do we want it for back dragon or is it just a matter of making sure that the Boom is leveled out before we go and make sure and keeping an eye on your back so yeah just lift it up make sure that your back Cutting Edge right here is good but this thing is garbage stop bumping hook it on and I was halfway through bumper and then that I gone to about the same as this yeah I wonder how the Kubota is but you've had three different pushers on it so just uh make sure you're conscious of that so how long it's supposed to snow tonight it's supposed to be done already oh really that's why it's still snowing yeah [Music] so this I think it's this one has the winter equipment Cutting Edge on it exactly insane that cutting that so that's how it's supposed to go sideboards that's the winter equipment one though yeah oh yeah that's a different one that is a different one yep these guys at winter equipment these things they make the cutting edges for the D.O.T so really yeah oh yeah yeah I think I need to get a couple more all right teams of two right uh so we got
