Mike the municipality here has two huge John Deere graders. One with a v 
plow.
If I could post photos here I could show you that they eventually meet 
their match.
The second one came in handy to pull the one with the V plow out of the 
snow.
These back roads get drifted pretty heavy by this time of year . Not so 
bad this
winter but there have been some bad ones.
