The wedge plow or Bucker plow was first developed by railroad companies to clear snow in the American West. The wedge plow forces snow to the sides of the tracks and therefore requires a large amount of force due to the compression of snow. The wedge plow is still in use today in combination with the high-maintenance rotary snowplow.
At 2,500 pounds (1.1 t), the 9N could plow more than 12 acres (4.9 hectares) in a normal day pulling two 14-inch (360 mm) plows, [3] outperforming the tractive performance of the heavier and more expensive Farmall F-30 model. [3]
The snow plow routing problem is an application of the structure of Arc Routing Problems (ARPs) and Vehicle Routing Problems (VRPs) to snow removal that considers roads as edges of a graph. The problem is a simple routing problem when the arrival times are not specified. [ 1 ]
The 4000 used the same engine as the popular 4020, but weighed almost 1,000 lb (450 kg) less. According to Deere & Company, the 4000 could, in the same amount of time, pull a four-bottom plow fast enough to cover the same area as a 4020 pulling a five-bottom plow.
