Stack snow only with the blade in a straight-on
position. Do not create a vertical wall, but slope the
piles so that later snow may be pushed up the slope.
Clearing large open areas can be done best by
using a combination of snow removal equipment,
such as a snow blade and snow blower or loader of
some type. The snow can be plowed into windrows
or piles and then blown into or loaded onto trucks
and carried away. However, if only a blade is
available, the area can be cleared by using the
proper technique and common sense.
As a guide to help determine how much snow the
plow can handle, remember that with a 6 in
(150 mm) snowfall, the plow can easily move that
amount of snow in two passes. With more snow, it
will handle less; with less snow, more.
A suggested method of plowing is as follows:
Make the first pass one blade width in from the
outside edge.
Make the second pass around the outside edge,
moving the snow to the edge of the area, then keep
moving in. Double the blade width from edge of the
snow covered area and move this amount to the
outside edge.
