Back dragging snow, plow edge

[jimbob200521]

See the link below, I either live under a rock (not totally out of the question) or this is a really good idea. The plow in the video has two edges, the standard on the front of the blade for pushing snow forward but also another edge on the back of the plow that floats when you're going forward and when back dragging snow, it hits stoppers that essentially give you a second wear edge for back dragging snow (the one in the video is a rubber type edge, I believe). Good idea, now let's see how puts on on there Cub's first!

You can turn a Cub sideways in a driveway. For the 1' wide pass you can't get, I use a shovel. Not worth it IMHO.

Oh I know that all too well, that's why I use the 1864 on the sidewalks at work. It'll make a 90° sidewalk turn to problem and on our wider sidewalks, I can do a 3 point turn-around on them but we also have several egresses that I either have to back drag snow from (which does an ok job depending on the snow) or have something like this that has better bite in reverse (or shovel th n out by hand but I don't have a cub so I can push snow by hand! ) There's also a 99% chance I'll never make this but I think it's still neat

Other point is, if you put the blower on instead, you just have to shovel a little spot. At some point, you have to use a shovel. On that truck snowplow.... yeah, I can see that being a good thing. But only in that application. I never thought pickups made good snow removal vehicles for anything other than streets and lots.

Makes perfect sense for a commercial truck, he cant afford to scratch someones driveway. I'd be tempted to try it on my plow truck if I had any pavement to clear.

I have a few spots that it would be handy, but I'd probably never make one either. It is a real good idea though! There were more than a few spots at work that it would have been great to have one, such as in between parked machines that were along a fence line. It would have saved starting each one and moving them for the plow crew. Safety wanted all snow removed from personnel walkways.

I am sure it is good but the guy he plowed in will be pissed.

There isn't anyone around here that does commercial plowing still using a strait blade. Waist of time. Everyone has a V plow, WAY faster, more efficient...

They were kind enough to circle the actual problem with that truck
