Is that in ND?

[rmrcbharris]

@keverstud No, It's in Iowa.

He'd have much better results if he cleaned off his v-plow. The build-up of snow and ice makes that plow push and pack the snow rather than lift and throw it. I keep my v-plow waxed and it would cut through that drift like butter. And an experienced operator would NEVER hit a drift that fast. That's a great way to discover a stranded and snow covered car (hopefully abandoned and not occupied) you moron! Polish your plow, put tire chains on and you'll be able to move twice the snow you do now.

Hope he had his seatbeld on!

That must have been a hell of a jolt. Hope he was wearing his seatbelt! He went from high speed to no speed in 2 seconds.

If you are able to get yourself out within a reasonable amount of time, without any outside help, most plow operators don't consider themselves "stuck". If help is close, or if it is a team effort, you can get pretty daring. Plowing heavy snow gets easier with experience, knowing what you can and can't do. Use it, but don't abuse it, take care of it, and it will take care of you. Always wear your seatbelt. Experienced operators with good judgement can use their equipment to it's full potential.

I guess that was not a real smart move hu, you would think with him being a plow driver he would have known he would not make it, i am from Florida so i have no idea about snow plowing, but, if i see sand i can pretty well guess if i can make it or not, haha, keep up the good work snow plow driver, or maybe after that he is just spreading salt or something.
