No snow, no plow, no skis

The lack of snow this season has been a boon for towns but a bust for outdoor enthusiasts.

James E. Dicey knows a thing or two about snow. As Troy’s director of public works for the past 22 years, he’s seen it all.

“Within the last 10 years, I remember we had a winter with hardly any snow until mid-January,” Dicey said, although he was unable to recall exactly which year it was.

But this season, save for a hefty dose at the end of October, many towns have spent a lot less time and money clearing out snow than they did last year.

“I gave back approximately $12,000 (to the town) at the end of December,” Dicey said. “That went back into the general fund.”

That’s out of a total budget of $235,000, Dicey said, meaning more than 5 percent went unused.

In Swanzey, the story has been much the same.

“At this point in January, compared to last year, we’ve used less than half the amount of salt we put on the roads,” said Lee D. Dunham, the town’s director of public works since 1996. “We ended (2011) with 12 percent of our budget set aside. We had $107,500, but only spent $94,000.”

Amber caution lights are used for Snow Plowing, Application Work, and of coarse service Cars . If you are on the lookout for a tiny strobe light beacon or bright led caution light to put on the roof of your truck when plowing snow, or for construction and use applications, they're many various kinds for you to make a choice from in strobe and led light application. Between their extended life capacities and low amp draw, they offer fleets a good ROI as well as not being forced to stress about them stop working when in need. The Led advantage is not just the low amperage draw but also the design of many small led in one light. The idea is if one of the tiny leds goes out that any lots more that may keep working in that one Led light system. In the Strobe light application. The LED strobe lamps are acceptable for construction, municipal, rural, snowplow, and plenty of other needed applications. There high-intensity lighting,is much stronger than the typical strobe heads, the LED ones save on cost and energy. They also are designed with a sturdy rubber housing to fight the results of corrosion. Another factor is the variable low and high profile design. Strobe beacons or alert lights can revolve 360 degrees. They designs can be found in different profiles from medium-profile to mini-strobe, and cool feature's for multiple user-selectable flash patterns. Some of the makers have even come out with swapping X pattern, alert strobe / turn signal lamp kit that is excellent for refuse cars and road upkeep clobber. The lamp flashes in a wavering X patterns. This product can be wired so that the lamps operate as turn signal lamps when the turn signal is turned on, then return to strobe function when the turn signal is canceled. Another function of the Led lights is the Mounting flexibility permits for installation in horizontal, vertical or in any 360-degree position. Some thing also to think about.

Todays Snow Plow News by Edgeolite: How make an ATV snowplow

by Tommy DEE

Use an empty 55 gallon drum, you need to take marker and layout on the drum the size you are going to make you atv snow plow the cut it out it using the cutting torch,plasma cutter. Usually, you’ll have to cut it on half, lengthwise. But some cut only a small portion of the drum enough for it to plow the snow. After cutting, you should grind to smooth out the drum’s edges. Look to see how the universal snow plow mounts will be attached to the ATV. The snow plow blade needs to have a bracket so that the mount can be attached to it. You need to fabricate a bracket for the atv snow plow blade. The bracket should be perfectly attached to the mount. Normally, the bracket will be attached to the blade’s center. Do some measurements to determine where the bracket should be located and what size this should be. You can make brackets, by Using the left over steel for brackets. Bend it to the desired shape using the cutting torch. Most of the time brackets are usually triangular in shape. Check if the bracket is already enough for the mount. If it’s not, do some adjustments until you achieve the perfect-shaped bracket. Spot weld the bracket at first to see the location before a final weld. Attach the bracket to the perfect spot on the blade using welding equipment. Don’t forget to wear protective Lay out and drill the proper holes on the ATV and the universal mount so it will perfectly fit to the vehicle. Attach the snow plow blade bracket to the universal mount and attach the atv plow . Now you are almost done, smooth out the finishes and apply primer and then exterior metal paint for a professional look. Like I said to make it easier on your self buy just the blade or just the mounts, if it makes it easier on you to complete the task of building your atv snowplow we also offer just the atv parts you need here at edgeolite.com.
