I wish I had invented this...
It's basically a 16" snow rake made out of "nerf ball" material. (NOTE: This model lacks the 'ice scraper' handle attachment, a model I also have reviewed. I own a few of both designs, and they are identical in performing the main job: clearing snow off your vehicle. The model with ice scraper... -
Weak Plastic
It's a good thought, but needs redesigned. Broke the first time I used it. The plastic tip that hold the metal shaft to the snow plow snapped in half.

Lewis plows through Rays - Toronto Sun: Globe and MailLewis plows through RaysToronto SunRangers starter Colby L... I have 20 acres of land behind my house I can use for gardening and small livestock, such as chickens and rabbits. I am a welder by trade and I want to build a 3 point hitch for a 12 HP lawn mower to plow a large garden.
There should be some old farms around. They should have some of those old 2 and 3 bottom plows you can pick up cheap. I know we have 4 of the old ones on the farm here. Some PTO and some not.
I just received several old plows and seeders, and an old fertilizer. Can anyone recommend a web site where I can identify them and learn more about them? ( these are the sort that were used by hand, or horse drawn).
Thank you.
depends on the color of them, green go to deerly departed, that's john deere, red is case, orange is alice chalmers, silver/grey is ford / fergerson
red and white is international harvester. every one of them has a historic part on the web...

Crews Prep For Major Storm
OMAHA, Neb. -- Workers are prepping for their first major test of the season.
City and county snow plow crews have one goal: to stay ahead of the storm. They haven't had to deal with virtually any snow in nearly four months, so they're looking forward to getting out onto the streets. On Friday, crews were hooking up snow plows and getting ready for some serious driving. "We got all the crews lined up to work 24 hours," said Dave Hackworth, the city's street maintenance superintendent. Hackworth frames it as a fluid situation. Amid ever-changing predictions about how much snow and when it might fall, he doesn't anticipate his crews hitting the streets much before early Saturday. "The streets tell us what to do, actually. If it starts to get slick, we'll start de-icing," Hackworth said. As soon as the snow starts accumulating, city trucks will put plows to pavement on major streets, while contractors will start working on the residentialTrucks, plows, and salt ready for snow | West Seattle Herald ...
SDOT has 30 work trucks equipped with attachable plows. When the trucks are not filling pot holes, they will be salting roads and plowing the snow." href="http://www.westseattleherald.com/sites/robinsonpapers.com/files/imagecache/popup_image/images/West Seattle Herald / White Center News/[yyyy]/[mm]/Snow preparedness photo-1.jpg">
In harsh contrast to the December, 2008 Seattle snow storm that not only blanketed West Seattle but seemed to place a pillow over the head of Alki residents, "snow preparedness" is the mantra this winter at METRO, SDOT, and the Office of Emergency Management. The complaints that stormed in by stranded citizens got so much traction that the low-salt diet of roads in winters past has been eliminated. Salt brine, granulated salt, and other salt products are now on the table.
"Salt is not as crucial as an environmental concern as we had thought," said Marybeth Turner of the Seattle Department of Transportation. "We've found the sand we used was more of an environmental concern. The city has 30 trucks to be used as snow plows, but they are not dedicated plows. These trucks are used for other things. When snow is forecast we mount plows on trucks.
"During snow events we encourage people to take the bus rather than try to drive. Check the Internet first to learn the availability of the buses on your route. We won't be plowing residential streets. If you don't have a car to negotiate this amount of snow or ice you might not be able to drive out. Plan to have supplies at home and help neighbors.
"Residents and businesses are responsible for clearing sidewalks of snow and ice to allow people to walk to buses and to get around. We keep the snow routes driveable for emergency vehicles and buses and will push snow to the side of the road, so you might need to dig your car out if you park on the street of a snow route and to clear the end of your driveway."

...City of Portland breaks out the plows and sanders for an inclement ...
City of Portland emergency managers are following forecasts from the National Weather Service that are predicting a more active winter storm season than normal this year, Mayor Sam Adams said during a news conference today.
After the plows, chains and sand boxes were inspected on 50 big trucks, maintenance drivers ran the vehicles through service routes, without the plows and sanders attached.
Adams said the city is gradually replacing the aging plows and sanders the city has relied on for 30 years, most recently purchasing 17 new plows and sanders.
“We’ll remove the equipment for the dry runs,” said the city's transportation spokeswoman, Cheryl Kuck. “We want to make sure the drivers know the routes on the streets. The landscape and environment changes when there’s snow on it.”
The city's director of emergency management, Carmen Merlo, advised everyone to check out publicalerts.org , an interagency web site that provides emergency notifications for power outages, road and school closures and public transit alerts during inclement weather.
For example: If snow storm is forecasted overnight then have the plows and drivers stay at a hotel near the I-5, I-84 inter-change.
As it stands now the drivers are called in when it starts to snow, and then they have to fight traffic to get to the plows. This may take 5 to 6 hours if roads are already a mess. For the cost of a night in the hotel plus on call pay the drivers could be on the road and plowing immediately.
I think "you voted for it" could have phrased his statement a lot better but the point is that Portland, IIRC, has just one depot for its snowplows, at the Albina yard underneath I-5 near the Fremont Bridge. However Portland is not a small town, and should have equipment stationed at multiple locations.
ODOT does have multiple depots in the Portland area, including one right at Sylvan, another at I-5 at the Capitol Highway exit, another just off of 99E at the Portland/Milwaukie border...and I believe they have depots on the eastside as well.
