New Rotary video

Videos
#1

Here is a new rotary plow video I shot the other day when we got about 5" of snow. It is a 2 part video the first has the rotary at work. The second has a fast “bobsled” ride on the rails.
Enjoy.

Todd,

Thanks guys.

I had lots of bloopers making this video like stalling, wheel spinning, hitting ice chunks that I missed when I cleared the tracks day before, the work car at the end took a tumble onto a pile of cement blocks when a stack caught a low hanging tree limb and plenty of derailments. Luckily the damage was minimal. I think I might need to add some weight to my engines but not too much, I don’t want to blow out gears. Any thoughts?

Joe you didn’t like the video from last year where the rotary was wrecked when it picked up a rock and the plowing had to be finished with the wedge and then that hit a downed tree branch and fell off the trestle?? I thought that was a pretty funny video. LOL

Nice video Todd. I’m glad you admitted to the problems because the video made it look too easy! I’ve had very poor luck with the wedge plows this year. What snow we have had has been super fine and dense. The wedge can’t get up my grade withe 4 inches of snow. There is always next year.

That was fun Todd. Making a video while plowing is a always challenge. You only get one chance at it.

I don’t like to see your equipment wrecked is all.

Don’t worry Joe No real damage done, nothing a tube of super glue can’t fix.
