How about just using it as a snow pole ! County
puts the same style Vee plies on road graders here
in the winter time. When the snow gets drifting, it
can at times get 3-4 feet deep on side roads. When
this happens, a big Vee plow is just the tool to open
the road. Grader will also have a 10? wing plow
mounted halfway down the right side on the
machine to pick the snow off the Vee, and wing it
back widening the road way. Few years ago our
county workers went on strike during winter, so no
snow removal. County contracted local farmers that
would mount snow plows like this on their farm
tractors to clear roads, worked fine.
 
Standard snow plough design here in Scotland, at least for deep snow on narrower roads. Our Councils often supply them to local farmers with
a contract to keep the roads around the local areas open - never seen one on a tractor THAT big, though!

(quoted from post at 23:40:39 12/12/18) Forgot to add:
1976 International 4568 4WD tractor with Hinke V-Plow
Our local shopping mall has IH's just like that w/plow to clear the lots, has had for years.
 
That would be neat if it ever snows again ? I
Remember 30 years ago the county would put v
plows on the front of the graders along with the
snow wings and ghr roads would be closed three or
4 times a winter do to so much snow they couldn?t
open the roads . Then at the first of the winter they
would use the graders with v plows to cut dikes for
wind breaks in all the fields that would work for the
first couple of storms then when the snow really got
deep they had a v plow on a d9 cat to cut dikes with
and most times you could only seen a couple feet of
the cab top on a high track d9 while he was cutting
dikes . That?s all a memory now it?s even hard to
believe it happened . In the last 20 years we
haven?t got enough snow combined to cover the
tracks on snow machine
