[AT] snow plowing

[Ralph Goff]

Chuck, I think the guys in this youtube video are well south of me and they 
are pushing some awesome snow drifts with truck mounted plows back in 1939.

I've used that same method with my 2090 and 8 foot dozer blade when the road 
gets really bad. Thankfully not often. Haven't wrecked anything yet but its 
a wild ride going from 15 mph to zero in a second or so.
