BX snow clearing and airport snow clearing at the same time.

Our local airport is in the line of sight from home so this video shows me using the BX and also shows equipment clearing snow at the airport at the same time.

Interesting!
Being a snow removal connoisseur, I believe I have seen your BX snowblower several times on YouTube.
You do great videos!

They work much faster than they do in my neck of the woods.

Must be some good drifting at times.

Hey that sounds like local lingo... you know it?

Yup, like everybody else the runways are 150 feet wide and 6,000+ feet long to allow for the 737's and to have more length for braking with the thrust reversers. They have to do all this extra work on the taxi aprons and approaches to the opposing runway entrances, runway exits, terminal aprons and cross runway access lanes.

The loader plows are 15 feet wide and they push everything into a single windrow on the runways and then the blower takes over UNLESS the snow is so deep it requires them to make passes with the snow blower truck..

It still amazes me that snowgo, larue and oshkosh are not using Beilhack snow clearing heads so they can clear off 22,000+ tons per hour being 367 tons per minute in one pass BUT I guess they have no interest in making three engine machines.

Just some additional info on the video. The video camera is about 1.9 miles from the airport snow clearing equipment. Here's runway details... our longest runway is 8502 ft.

Your BX25 does a nice job in that snow! Your getting good throwing distance compared to our wetter heavier snows down here.
Sometimes we get dry powdery snow and it's a pleasure compared to the stuff that's 50 lb. per shovel full.
Thanks for the vid.
