I'm no expert on plows but I was told that is some sort of fail safe on top (springs?) to save it if it's run into something. I also noticed it doesn't look like any plow truck I've seen before on that stretch of highway, looks smaller overall so maybe a case of not the right tool for the job.

That's fucked, a friend lives in McBride and was telling me about it but I hadn't seen the video yet

Yup, they have a shear pin in a bar that holds the blade vertical, when you break that it flops over. We used to do that all the time at the airport I used to work at. Snow plows are one of the worst vehicles I have driven in the snow LOL

I feel like that's their natural state.

Some might say this is a fail because they the school buses got stuck.
But I consider it a win because joy-riding and off-roading school buses sounds like fun

SWEET!
Like others have said, he caught the edge and snapped a shear bolt. I remember standing at the lathe making hundreds of those shear bolts when I worked for the state highway department.

The upside down plate carrier diaper was a nice touch!

I was going to say he got it finished but didn't want to tell us about it for fear of being arrested

Panzer as far as I know is not who made the XJ swing. He does however have a mini jet boat that isn't finished yet. There was a build thread at the old place.

What is that and what happened?
Explosive Hydroforming. Fill with water, calculated charge in the center and boom you got a sphere.

probably not

I'd want working brakes though for any downhill slopes.
And the motor seems pretty noisy. Maybe you'd get use to it after a few minutes but it would probably drive me nuts. An electrically-powered cart like that would be tits. You're out there trying to enjoy the outdoors and the sounds that come with it afterall.
