Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

They make smaller plows that can be v plow or straight.....



Plow is hydraulic in middle and can be v or angle either side . Or like a scoop. But never seen a big plow like this.....

Stainless too......

 

here they can be 12ft wide

 

The V plow that Caesar said was stupid was mounted on the front of a grader like say a Cat 143, and is specifically designed for rural roads that are not wide, but can drift in overnight and be literally 6' deep.

 

i know, made to create lowest possible drag while moving to go further.
used here in rural parts too not too often on trucks, more on unimog and wheel loaders
i am born in such place and lived there till war in 1992. they use snowblowers mainly swiss made(dont know brand), big wheel loaders of 20-30t , unimog with blower, V plow and normal, etc.

 

It’s not their biggest one.....I’m sure that countries that get 1” of snow every other year have better ones......

 

photo from 1976, of road maintanance company from my birthcity, in background snow blower from schmidt, other one is unknown to me. fap bk18, 3x man 30.240 6x6 my father think from 1974 which usually carried V plow as they were heaviest trucks in fleet, there were 6 of those in company.

 

I wondered about these. Don't see as many of them.

 

Did a clutch on one of them a few years ago. Pretty neat machines. The biggest one they make is huge though.
