The old film shows great plumes of fluffy Colorado snow and a rotary that did not choke down as it moved through deep snow at Cumbres.

The later video shows an abused machine plowing ice - repeatedly being choked down to a stall while shaking violently from being driven into the compacted spring snowpack. Not a hint of fluffy snow.

Thanks for finding this video, the question of spring operation of a rotary is answered - thanks to you.
