    No, that was the light of the headlamps reflecting inside the camera lens.

    I know about the V plough, but it should be build in such a way the the snow doesn't blow up into the air (as with that previous clip) , but is pushed to the sides.

    By the way, I found the perfect tractor for you. With this one you don't need a snow plough. It's Arctic proof, and it has decent tyres, it will master any kind of terrain:

    You have a day cab, it's better than nothing. And it's warm, look how well that cab is insulated, and the blower opening next to the bunk. Did you dee the ventilation openings under the windows in the doors?

    I'm over 6' tall 230 lbs. I prefer my knees to not be in the dashboard. My hosts have a nice Mercedes SUV but they must sell smaller sized vehicles here or something. I'm all cramped up my head is in the roof. No thank you. I prefer big fuel guzzling American made it's the best there is.

    The road must be perfectly clean, one inch of snow is too much.

    Haven't really had a chance to take many pics of trucks but honestly,I am surprised at how new most of the combination trucks look. They are all Euro style cabovers. I saw a car hauler one night with, I think, about 14 cars on it.

    We can do it with 1 less axle. Getting down in the Alberta mud! Oil patch life!

    I'm 6'2", and I never have a problem in a European car. Those small cars are surprisingly roomy for the driver. The Dutch are the tallest people in the world on average, I frequently look at a pair of shoulder blades. Ikea doesn't sell beds longer than 2 metre, a normal bed over here is 2,20 metre (7'4"). And even those beds are to short for many boys, they should be 2,40 metres (8') .
