I just saw this....
How long have you been hiding this idea over there?... utterly brilliant, a steerable trailer that can act as a double-your-width plough.....
I presume the (water?) tank is to give it weight so it can dig down to the surface.

I presume the (water?) tank is to give it weight so it can dig down to the surface. I would guess the tanks carry liquid de-icer, rather than water - and the weight is more beneficial to keeping traction than making the blades dig in. |

I though the two would be dependant.....
Too much dig-in, no traction?...

Too much dig-in, no traction?... on all of the plows I have been around, the blades are lifted mechanically, but in operating position, they are allowed to "float" - meaning it is only the weight of the blade, itself, that is holding it down. they also often have a spring hinge on the mount so if they hit something harder than they like, they will flex forward and disengage from it. addendum: this is how other places do it.  addendum to the addendum: this is representative of what my city uses: (the equipment, that is, not the conditions)  |

That makes sense then.
The towed vehicle steers out but need weight and traction to stay at that angle.

All airports want zero snow for landing aircraft.
The smallest excuse for skidding is not tolerated?...

Not the over produced, over recorded, over hyped crap we call music today.

Too bad the girl is so self-conscious about the camera that it made her a little timid with her voice to begin with. She has a beautiful voice and I was glad to hear her step it up a notch when she sang along with her brother. Well done by both of them and thanks for sharing  EDIT: Just listened to some of Nathan Leach's original stuff. This kid is really talented! Reminds me of a young Jason Mraz and that's a compliment in any possible way you can think of. Again, thanks for sharing GTCGreg! |

you know you're old when the music you grew up with is now considered classical.
