[Farmall] Help with snow plow adjustment

[Mike Sloane]

Actually, around here "millings" are what is taken off the road by an 
asphalt milling machine when the repave McAdam roads around here - 
essentially ground up "bituminous concrete" as the engineer calls it. 
When we can get it in warm weather, it spreads easily and packs down 
nicely. But the last batch we got, about 120 tons, came late in October 
and never got hot enough to melt down.

I put some images of the millings in front of my place on my Fotki album 
<http://public.fotki.com/mikesloane/allamuchy_roads/kasperroadmillings1.html> 
and the three following. This isn't a town road, but I didn't have any 
better place to put the images.

The stuff you described below is called QP or "quarry process" around 
here. It is OK for putting over stone under a slab, but we find that it 
doesn't hold up as a road surface - the fine stuff turns to dust and 
blows away in the wind or runs off in the rain, leaving only the stone 
that the vehicles push away from the travel path.
