Larry, fighting terrorism/helping out an attack on American soil is one thing. Getting goonberg's A out of a wringer of his own making is another. Hell no, I won't go!

I never could figure out why they haven't made a snow digger to load up the snow after the plow puts it in a windrow.Something like a potato digger with belts instead of chains.The trucks could just drive beside and be filled in less than 5 min. and the next could be under.Sure would make clean up alot faster and alot safer,no tractor backing up all the time to load the trucks.

There are blowers made to mount on construction loaders, like Cat 966, etc. Separate engine on the blower. Set the mounting pins and go. Snow is windrowed to the middle of the street, blower goes down the windrow, and with a rotating spout, fills trucks on both sides, non-stop. Even small cities around here have them, but they also get used every year, so they are justified.
My friend some how got called to Maryland last season for snow removal, that big storm they had. I think he sent down 2 tri axel dump trucks, 2 low boys with 2 back hoes and a couple of big CAT front end loaders. The city ran out of money he told me last spring. I made a joke to him a few weeks ago about them going down there agian if they got snow, just kidding, and he said never again. He dident seem to happy. I personally hate NYC, let them figure it out. I heard this quote, Mayor Bloomburg said "whatever the expense the roads will be clear" Good let that jerk pay for it, cause Im not. If they can clean up after the canyon of heros Yankee parade, then they can dig themselfs out, or starve, I really dont care. I wont starve.
If we showed up in the NYC area with an old tractor, we'd probably get arrested. Maybe for not having a license, and maybe for owning old "junk" and littering their landscape.
I grew up 7 miles from NYC. I've seen two-foot snow storms several times. Not real common, but still to be expected. What has changed is/are the people living there, not the weather.
When I was a kid, people didn't whine about late air-flights. They stuck tire chains on their cars - and dealt with the snow. Even the milk and bread man still came during snow-storms. They had tire-chains too.
NYC is has way too many pansys that can't stand to be inconvenienced, and that sort of mentality is spreading all over the USA.

during the blizzard of 93 they had big hot tanks they parked them over a manhole and dumped the snow in with big loaders it melted the snow and droped it in the sewer
Keep working, I just read in the paper its a 20 million bill for the city. "The city is going on like its anyother day Bloomburg said" "Suggesting people go out and shop or take in a Broadway show" "theres no reason for everybody to panic" I think hes shaking in his boots? to bloat out that nonsense. Meanwhile FDNY had a 1400 call backlog,

JD Today most people don't even know what tire chains are let along how to put them on. Worked for a company about ten years ago and had eight service vans. Had to give a class on how to install tire chains. Wish we could turn the clock back to common sense days. DH

A division of Krause Plow used to make a snow removal device.
Snow was dumped into hoppers that had augers or paddles in it and then water was pumped in with the snow to form slush. The slush was then flushed down the storm drains.
During the American Tractorcade movements some tractors and blades were used in Washington D.C. and the residents greatly appreciated the help.
Unfortunately they also tore up some of the grass on the Mall and the government claimed huge dollars worth of damage and told of the thousands upon thousands of dollars it would cost to repair the area. The farmers simply said----we have the equipment and experience to grow things let us repair it for very little. Never did hear how that came out however.

Watched a news clip of a NYC articulated loader operator and a towtruck operator destroy a PU truck while trying to clear a city street. Loader operator got too close to PU beside him and had no clue how to manuver away from it. Towtruck operator hooked to his rear and rather than winching the loader away from the parked PU he tried towing the loader backwards. Loader operator turned away from PU casting middle into it, then turned other way hooking bucket on rear bumper of PU draging it into another car parked in front of it. Stupid-Stupid. Best part,,,, the PU belonged to the NYC Housing Authority. What a bunch of DFIs. Most of us in upstate NY would rather form the New State Of Jefferson and have nothing to do with them and not support their stupidity with our hard earned tax dollars.

Blame the trial lawyers. Liability has gotten WAY out of hand in this country. It's not getting any better as we are graduating far more lawyers than doctors and other professionals in this country anymore. There needs to be some kind of restriction on the number of practicing lawyers per capita.

I was in the Rochester,NY area 2 weeks ago - -met a lot of folks that feel that New York City could be its own state or fall into the ocean - -either would be just fine.
We got along just fine, as most of us "downstaters" in Illinois feel the same about Chicago -would love to give everything north of I80 and east of I39 to Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana - -but there are simply too many good folks in those states to pass the "Daleys-external_link-Emanuels" onto...

Saw the same clip suspect the driver was pulled from garbage work dumping cans into trucks and put on the end loader. No clue to using the bucket to get out.
The Mayor Blooombird is working on gun control and missed the snow storm.
BUTTT Chicago is the same as new york strangling down state Illinois funds.

The State of Jefferson has already been spoken for. There's a long-running movement in northern California to split off and form a new state of Jefferson. They even have a freeway rest area dedicated to it. Beautiful place to stop, by the way, if you're ever driving I-5 from Oregon into California. I think it's the first rest area you come to after crossing the border.

Company called ATHEY makes/made a windrow loader.
Used to pick up spoil along roads after grader pass. Had conveyor belt elevator and "barrel stave" rotary loader at bottom, not sure how well it would work in snow without substantial mods.

That is beyond stupid! Did these idiots just finish off a 40 ouncer half an hour before they went to work? They should both be fired. Dave

I would love to take the A down there and just cruise the center of the streets in 3rd gear at a low rpm with the blade down. Maybe put a chrome stack on before I head down... I bet that would sound good barking off all the buildings! LOL
