STRAIGHT LINE SNOW PLOWING
This method is most efficient for streets and roads. V type
snowplows mounted on heavy utility vehicles or service trucks
are excellent for such an operation.
Set the snow plow moldboard at an angle so that the snow is
rolled to the shoulder or curb.
Single lane roads and aisles can often be cleared with one
pass.
When the road is more than twice the moldboard’s width, plow
a center lane for the first full pass. Then, in follow-up passes,
work the snow to the sides. The diagram illustrates plowing
sequence for a typical 20-foot road.
Corner clearing is almost automatic when clearing intersecting
streets. When snow is heavy, a little “stop over” snow may have
to be removed from intersections by additional short passes.
We recommend a speed of 5 to 15 MPH for this kind of plowing.
Of course, road surface, weather conditions and equipment will
influence your speed.
Plow with the storm.
WIDE DRIVEWAY
1. Make one pass down center with blade in “ ” position.
2.

angled right or left.
