Snowplowing the Christmas Blizzard 4k

What happens here

Due to the John Deere TLB's breakdown and the slippery conditions, the crew adjusted their strategy. They split into teams and utilized skid steers with tracks, which offered superior traction on the icy surfaces compared to wheeled vehicles. Pickup trucks with plows and sanders were also deployed. The snow pusher attachments proved effective for moving large volumes of snow, despite the challenges posed by ice underneath. The operator comments on the advantage of tracks over dirt tires in such conditions.

Goal: Adjust snow removal strategy and deploy suitable equipment for challenging conditions.
