Snow Plowing Tips from the Pros
STRAIGHT LINE SNOW PLOWING
This method is most efficient for drives and walkways.
Moldboard type blade snow plows mounted on utility vehicles
or service trucks are best for such an operation.
Set the snow plow moldboard at an angle so that the snow is
rolled to the shoulder or curb.
Single lane walks and aisles can often be cleared with one
pass.
When the driveway is more than twice the moldboard’s width,
plow a center lane for the first full pass. Then, in follow-up
passes, work the snow to the sides. The diagram illustrates
plowing sequence for a typical 20-foot road.
Plow with the storm.
WIDE DRIVEWAY
1. Make one pass down center
with blade in straight position.
2. Push snow to side with
moldboard angled.
3. Do the same on either side.
