I’ve heard of them since I engineer those trucks that so many state DOTs buy. We probably will never see them in IL since it would cut personnel requirements and the unions wouldn’t let that happen.
I know MI has them, as does MO and maybe OH.

Ain't never heard of them or seen them until now. I can just imagine Michigan drivers around these!

Michigan, the upper part at least, has those too.

Based on the two different year Internationals I used to drive, I am surprised the trucks shown in the video even have enough power to pull the plows.

Have known about tow plow for a long time now having previously spent 39 years in the municipal sales & service market. Tow plows have been out 10-11 years now. Geared correctly the truck typically has no problem towing them. None in PA that I'm aware of.

Saw a few in Minnesota on my way to Montana a couple weeks ago, pretty cool!

NE. Ohio ODOT has them to clear I-90 in Ashtabula County. Has had them approx 10 years. Pretty cool to see in action.

Maryland just stacks 2 or 3 plow trucks together. We call them plow trains.
