Brocky Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 There are a lot of those double wing plows working in the Tug Hill Plateau area of NYS between Syracuse and Watertown.Week be fore last they got 6 foot of snow in about 3 days, Plus some wind to keep it fluffed up!! They need that big equipment to open the back roads.Vinny probably has them coming right by his front door. Maybe he can get us some pictures??

iaff5045 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 i remember as a kid the Mack fire apparatus dealer would always deliver calenders to our firehouse and my dad would bring the extra calender home for me to hang on my wall. I loved those old calenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen them a few years back. They can do 3 or 4 lanes with them. But they need alot of support trucks. Mainly to slow traffic down and keep lanes clear and then salt right behind them. Verdict is still out on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 still cant get my head wrapped around the front wing idea, mid mount side wings I get but fronts have got to suck if your the driver. 3 lanes of loose snow plus falling snow! those drivers must have eye stress from hell! guess I wont bitch about plowing with a grader, or dozer then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 that orange RD is/was a pretty common sight around upstate Ny in the 70's and 80's. we even had a bunch of Rm's with dual wings like that, mostly Frink equipt. NYS Dot ran mostly IH's up til the last few years and now have Granites but they are mostly straight tandems. most every Township around back then had RD's and RM's and most had V plows.

j hancock Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Garlits was trying all sorts of aero stuff with that car. It had the Lexan canopy, the nose cover over the front wheels and the little front tires. My memory says the Top Fuel class was "stuck" in the 250-260 mph range and with some of the aero changes, Garlits punched through the air to 272 mph. That was few days ago and now T/F is 300+. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
