Ride along SNOWPLOWING in the Loader

What happens here

The Arctic sectional pusher, as demonstrated, features multiple independent moldboards and a 'slip hitch' design. During pre-operation checks, it's vital to visually inspect each moldboard section to ensure it can move independently, checking for any debris (like ice or compacted snow) that might hinder movement. The slip hitch mechanism, which allows the plow to 'float' and lift over obstacles, should also be checked for smooth operation and proper engagement. This prevents jarring the machine and potential damage when encountering uneven surfaces or curbs. Inspect the cutting edges of each section for excessive wear or damage, and ensure all hydraulic hoses and cylinders connected to the plow are free from leaks and operate smoothly. Lubrication points for articulation should also be checked.

Goal: This step involves verifying the unique features of the Arctic sectional pusher, such as its independent moldboards and slip hitch, ensuring they can effectively contour to surfaces and prevent damage.

they're all cleaned up now what we're working with is a arctic sectional pusher and this oh there's a cute kid what a little cutie he's got flowers military person god bless them and a blessing um all right so this is a arctic sectional pusher and if you look down at it you'll see that it's got one two three four five six separate mode boards and each mole board floats independently from the ones next to it and the reason that they do this is because it helps the entire unit to contour to the lock giving it a really nice uh controlled scrape and if you watch as we go along every now and then you'll see uh one section just kind of jump up while the others may or may not when they stay right where they're at now what it does is the entire section will lift up and over if you hit an obstacle while the others remain in contact with the ground which definitely helps to improve your productivity because you're not losing a whole big lot of snow all at once if you look in front of us you see a sheen on the ground that's actually ice this lot has not been assaulted yet this year now i've been asked many times why don't i solve it and the answer is simple i don't want to work that much in minnesota you will have approximately twice as many salting events as you will have plowing events it's crazy but true so you go out twice as often and sometimes in the winter we've gone out almost every consecutive day just plowing snow and then on top of that to try to add in resulting in sanding i just don't want to do that much work all right [Music] go back down through this then we're going to snake around the back side of the building this right here happens to be a public road this is one of the only public roads in this complex that we will plow and the reason we plow it is because if we didn't plow it we and we finished up all our lots and then the city came through they would push that snow sideways into our lungs and then we just we don't have to come back and clean it up anyway so by being proactive and plowing it before the city comes in we control exactly where the snow goes and it doesn't go back into our box now on this account we have very selective places where we can stockpile smoke we can't push it just up and over the curb anywhere that's just the way this contract is written this another thing about the arctic sectional it has actually raised it up i shouldn't have raised it up i was trying to show you guys something back up i don't want to it has a slip…
