Jackson County Grader V-Plow

Feb. 2nd day after midwest blizzard. The plow is dated 1956, and until last year it hadn't been mounted on a grader in 25 years. Cobbled together a mounting system in a couple days and was out plowing, still needs work but it gets the job done for now. Works alot better now that they painted it, it was rusty last year and the snow didn't flow off the wings very well. Sorry about the rattles, the tire chains cause alot of vibration.

Wings extended?

@247Countryboy1 Na it doesn't have a wing, none of our trucks do either. We do all back county roads and they are pretty narrow. Also no shoulders so our trucks go into the ditch a lot and a wing would just get screwed up. I just run with the mold board down and extended all the way to the right.

@djwalt8 just about to say that what are the odds you beat me to this video by 1 day lol

@rthom86 A wing will prevent you from getting too close to the edge of the road therefore keeping you out of the ditch !

Better than nothing I suppose. I use a John Deere 9730 with a 15" Degelman silage blade to open up the road for the milk truck. Pulled the country grader out of the ditch 3 times this year. New operator, the old guy retired. We never lost a mail box with him either. This guys taken out ours once and the neighbors twice this year.
