Agree on that. A v plow is good the first trip through but it forms a perfect snow trap for the next time the wind blows. And that could be tomorrow. After a few storms the snow gets too deep for even the tractor and v plow to push through. In the old days they would just open the fence and start a new trail in the field. Once we got the snowblower we quite making "snow traps" and the snow drifts never got that deep. I've never found a drift so deep that my old Cockshutt 40 and rear mount blower couldn't chew it's way through. Yet I have seen drifts so big that my 2090 CAse with 8 foot dozer blade up front could not hammer it's way through.
Snowblower maintenance? After nearly 35 winters the old McKee has not needed anything major replaced.
This photo is from back in the days when municipal graders used the v plow and wing to open the country roads. Believe it or not there are ditches beside that road. 1971
