slpwlker Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 A lot of tractors run with the goose neck around here and they never get stuck but were building a fifth wheel spreader hookup pin for oursSince I have no experience with plowing snow with a bobtail I didn't know. Also the few times I've done anything where I drag the neck around it helped with weight but. idk think I just wanted to make sure my trailer didn't drive off where I had it.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 There is a 1 1/2ft of snow just on the road and our road goes straight up so i think the big 285hp R-model is gonna have to work for once Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29849-snow-fighter/page/2/#findComment-163104 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well I went out to measure the snow here this morning but it I guess it wont stick at 60 degrees, I just washed my pickup next is the work truck I think its about 64 now. I don't know what kind of lowboy neck you guys are talking about but my old Fontaine 55tn had a neck that weighed 4,500# with the pony motor it would give you traction.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 One of our local farmers came by with a 530 Dresser push snow up on half of the street. Towns R-model pushed up after it and put salt down. Will get some pictures when they plow up the hill and do the other half tomorrow.

2stacksuperdog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 How am i doing? I walk down to the bottom of the hill the R-model is going about 60mph trying to get up it, there a town pay loader(Volvo) pushing snow behind it with 12ft rooster tails coming up and another loader(dresser) coming down the hill and my camera dies, so i get my phone out and take a bad quality video and can't upload it now!

2stacksuperdog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Looks just like our towns R-models although they have a few newer(1999) ones! They had a article about the town of Derby's plows last year, they said that the trucks were "unsafe" because they are old(1974) even though they have less than 100k on them and that they need to buy nice brand new ones that never breakdown, cough, cough...

2stacksuperdog Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 North Branford Public Works and local farmerTodayFinishing up! North Branford has to be one of the best towns for snow removal. As soon as storm stops anybody with a good size plow or piece of equipment works together to get the roads open. 2 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29849-snow-fighter/page/2/#findComment-163652 Share on other sites More sharing options...
