Rick Weihl
we were chama ah We were swamped.
00:04:19
Dan Zuber
Okay.
00:04:21
Rick Weihl
we They were lining up.
00:04:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:04:24
Rick Weihl
And the V plow, when you start talking to people, it's like, did you say 11 foot? I'm like, yeah, 11 foot. He said, there is no 11 foot V plows.
00:04:34
Rick Weihl
I said, you're looking at one, but it's just been amazing.
00:04:36
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:04:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:04:39
Rick Weihl
it Since we built it. You're around it all the time. It becomes natural. But when you talk about active cutting edges and people don't even know what it is, and we just take it for granted.
00:04:51
Rick Weihl
There's so many things, the push cylinders, not using the headlights. And we need a cue card that's front and back and sideways for a list.
00:04:58
Dan Zuber
No. No.
00:05:02
Rick Weihl
And the people just, it it was really cool. I take it for granted. And of all the things that it does and people don't even realize, so.
00:05:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, it's great.
00:05:12
RICK JAMES
Yeah, it's definitely a solid piece to the arsenal, that's for sure.
00:05:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's great.
00:05:16
RICK JAMES
you' I mean, even you're just your snow deflector, that thing is, there's a lot of engineering in that thing, I mean.
00:05:19
Rick Weihl
In fact, there's no deflector, right? And that perhaps video hitting the curb, 54,700,000 views.
00:05:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's kind of.
00:05:34
Rick Weihl
o
00:05:34
RICK JAMES
of Oh man, Jesus.
00:05:37
Dan Zuber
right
00:05:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
but ah Wow. Oh, snow guys love to see hitting stuff.
00:05:44
Rick Weihl
Yeah,
00:05:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh man, that's great.
00:05:45
RICK JAMES
um know
00:05:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you guys. Yeah, it does kind of suck though. Now you guys are all popular, you know, your rock stars out there. We got to wait in line and when we go to snow power, just to talk to them.
00:05:56
RICK JAMES
Yeah, for sure.
00:05:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like this is bullshit. We had to wait like 15 minutes just to shake hands with uncle Rick.
00:05:59
Dan Zuber
Yeah,
00:06:00
Rick Weihl
I'm stressed.
00:06:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like what the hell?
00:06:01
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:06:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Crap.
00:06:03
Dan Zuber
right.
00:06:04
RICK JAMES
Remember me?
00:06:04
Rick Weihl
Yeah, and it actually kind of bummed me out.
00:06:04
RICK JAMES
Remember me?
00:06:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it. Remember me?
00:06:09
Rick Weihl
I had a crew of five people, including myself. And they were taking care of all the customers because
Product Evolution and Customer Satisfaction
00:06:15
Rick Weihl
of, I'll call it to hire in people that want to talk and do a little business.
00:06:20
Rick Weihl
And um I didn't get a chance to see as many people and be on the front lines as much as I did. And so I'm asking my guys, you know, how many do we sell or what's the vibe?
00:06:31
Rick Weihl
And oh, man, it's just been so busy when they just couldn't believe it.
00:06:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good.
00:06:38
Rick Weihl
They were over one, our feet were killing us.
00:06:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:06:41
Dan Zuber
No.
00:06:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:06:42
Rick Weihl
And then all day another thing we found out is the rear plow.
00:06:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
I can't imagine because
00:06:44
Dan Zuber
No.
00:06:47
Rick Weihl
People want a rear plow out there big time. Because we put the F-14 on the rear of the truck.
00:06:55
Rick Weihl
I'm like, oh, whoa, what's that back there? We didn't have room for a second truck, so we had the front on the back.
00:06:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm hmm.
00:06:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
I gotcha.
00:07:02
Rick Weihl
And um I think people are looking for a rear plow. I'm going to have to check into that and see what's going to happen.
00:07:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:07:10
RICK JAMES
Weird, I wonder if he knows anything about a rear plow.
00:07:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
There is a niche market.
00:07:14
Rick Weihl
perfect
00:07:15
RICK JAMES
Uncle Rick, he's always turning, it's always turning up there.
00:07:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. Well, that's great.
00:07:20
RICK JAMES
I had to wait in line to get his autograph instead of him getting mine this time, it was ridiculous.
00:07:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm glad.
00:07:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's, it's, it is ridiculous. If Rick James can't get an autograph really quick, that's something's wrong.
00:07:29
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:07:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, you kept giving your name tag away. We were swapping, we were, we were swapping our name tags with Sean and Robert.
00:07:35
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:07:39
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:07:40
Rick Weihl
Ha, ha.
00:07:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man, but yeah, it was a good time. Definitely ah equip was a lot of fun. It was good to see the boys. It was kind of laid back because it's not for us. It's not really a snow show. You know, there are snow products there, but it's predominantly, yeah you know, the lawn and landscape and that kind of thing.
00:07:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
So we can kind of just chill out and walk around easily see the snow product people. and It's not like there's a hundred different vendors for it there.
00:08:01
RICK JAMES
Mm hmm.
00:08:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it was fun for us um with
00:08:06
Rick Weihl
Speaking of lawn and landscape, um I was looking down in our in our office where we have a lot of our merchant stuff, and I found some old hurricane hats, and I'm like, I'm going to take them down there, and I started handing them out, and they're like,
00:08:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got him.
00:08:23
Rick Weihl
Your hurricane, Rick?
00:08:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's it.
00:08:25
Rick Weihl
Well, I was.
00:08:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
i will
00:08:27
Rick Weihl
But a lot of people don't put two and two together that, you know, the hurricane blower was the first, you know, the first quarterback throw to get it over in the line.
00:08:27
RICK JAMES
hu
00:08:38
Rick Weihl
and And now we're in the snow power. But it was kind of cool to hand out the hats and for them to just question it. And it surprised them. And then they go over. I went over to the Briggs booth, ah the Ferris booth.
00:08:51
Rick Weihl
and Man, I couldn't believe it. It was really overwhelming and and nice to hear the people um thanking me for all the time they saved for the leaves on that on that machine.
00:09:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh god, yeah. Oh, I told you that. That was a no-brainer. At first, I'm thinking, I remember the guy calling me and telling me, hey, we got this new thing. It's our stand-on leaf blower. It's ah tremendous.
00:09:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
What was it, like 31 horsepower? Was that what it was, Rick, the engine, the original?
00:09:18
Rick Weihl
35, yeah.
00:09:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
35 it was a monster. I'm like 35 horsepower snow bar leaf blower. I'm like, all right I'll check it out. And I was like, how much is this thing going for? He goes i like 11 grand. I'm like, you got no shot at getting me to buy that.
00:09:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
And then he let me demo it for like four hours. And I'm like, holy crap, I can't live without it. That thing changed the game. It changed the game for a lot of guys.
00:09:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
And it works on snow too. That's the best part.
00:09:47
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:09:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
You get some nice light powdery. You create your own blizzard.
00:09:51
RICK JAMES
There you go.
00:09:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great. Oh man.
00:09:54
RICK JAMES
So Rick, come let's get back into the snow here. S&S show. You had quite the crew over at your plows there too. I mean, you had all day, you were busy there as well.
00:10:05
RICK JAMES
There's some big high rollers there that were, you must be impressed.
00:10:10
Rick Weihl
Now, I have one guy that videoed the whole rendition of what I was saying and what it was. um And I think he runs like over 100 trucks and he wanted to talk to his big, big wig. And they're talking about getting some and um it's just really cool. ah Again, it's It's like just push and play on all the things that it does.
00:10:33
Rick Weihl
But when you get to someone that hasn't been on social media and stuff and they really don't know about it, it just floors them on all the different things that's never been done before with the push zone or cutting edge and all that.
00:10:45
Rick Weihl
Just push play on all the things. But it's just really cool to see people lift their eyebrows up and say, really? What? I use the truck headlights to mean the ones that work all the time.
00:10:55
Dan Zuber
Heh heh.
00:10:56
Rick Weihl
Yeah. Yeah, so it's pretty cool.
00:10:59
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:10:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:11:00
Rick Weihl
But yeah, that turned out really good.
00:11:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:11:02
Rick Weihl
There's such good people there.
00:11:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good. Yes, they are.
00:11:04
Rick Weihl
Oh, he's amazing.
00:11:04
RICK JAMES

00:11:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. They're absolutely the best people. Um, so that's great, man. So you guys had a busy summer of shows, but you guys were mobbed at all the shows, which is a good sign.

00:12:31
Dan Zuber
I mean, I'd call Rick every few days and we talk and it's like, oh, this guy wants to this guy wants three. This guy wants this color. It's ah it's went so in the right direction since Simon.
00:12:43
Dan Zuber
It's been insane, insane.
00:12:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
So since you just said it, we'll go ahead.
00:12:45

Dan Zuber

00:12:53
RICK JAMES
Is there anything else we can get?
00:12:55
Rick Weihl
Now, if you know anything about Zuber, man, he thinks that he's got to have the newest greatest.
00:13:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
You bought another truck?
00:13:01
Rick Weihl
You should see the new truck that he just bought. I mean, it's just so decked out.
00:13:04
RICK JAMES
I've seen it.
00:13:06
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:13:07
Rick Weihl
Yeah, tell them what you're about to do.
00:13:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Man.
00:13:10
Dan Zuber
It's a 24 Lariat F550 with a Martin flatbed on it. It's pretty ridiculous.
00:13:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Did you get rid of one or you bought another one of those?
00:13:21
Dan Zuber
Uh, I actually got rid of the four 50 for the five 50 and I, um, obviously I test for buyers and it's going to buyers at three 30 in the morning tomorrow for a prototype spreader.
00:13:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:13:32
Dan Zuber
So it'll, it'll be one of their trucks to show off.
00:13:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Ooh.
00:13:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
Generational Plow Differences
00:13:38
Dan Zuber
Yep.
00:13:39
RICK JAMES
Sweet.
00:13:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
very So
00:13:39
Rick Weihl
and He stopped out to get a 14, what was that, about 10 days ago, and he saw Bryson's.
00:13:44
Dan Zuber
The day before, yeah.
00:13:48
Rick Weihl
Bryson kind of goes all black on his plows, and we have a special finish. It's a powder coat that's wrinkled, so it goes on, and then when it cures, it kind of shrinks up, and it puts some depth to it.
00:14:01
Rick Weihl
So if you're scratching a little, it doesn't get to the actual metal as easy. And he's like, oh, man, that new truck, it'd be so sick.
00:14:12
Rick Weihl
I got to get black on this thing. So what we did is we're putting one together for Zuberman. We had, uh, for old zoom and, um, we got some pictures and we put it out and we're calling it Zuberman edition.
00:14:26
Rick Weihl
And we put it out, I think it was like Friday or Monday. And we had three people.
00:14:30
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:14:33
Rick Weihl
I got to have one. where Where do I get it? What do I do?
00:14:35
RICK JAMES
Yes.
00:14:35
Rick Weihl
And for everybody to know, we are going to do the zoo addition. It's $1,000 more, and it's only on the V plow. And what that is is all the orange becomes black, and it's a special wrinkle process powder coat.
00:14:50
Rick Weihl
And it gives some depth through the powder coat so that it rolls, and there's less touching the snow, actually, because it kind of comes off the top of it. And then for a little twist, all the cylinders are going to be orange, like the mainboard.
00:15:05
Rick Weihl
And and it's going to look good.
00:15:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
That'll be hot That's nice There's no Rick James a dick
00:15:05
RICK JAMES
Sweet.
00:15:07
Rick Weihl
It's going to be hot.
00:15:08
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:15:09
Rick Weihl
We've got five of them sold already, so.
00:15:12
RICK JAMES
Sweet. So you still have the...
00:15:16
Rick Weihl
Yeah.
00:15:16
RICK JAMES
That's the baby paw.
00:15:17
Rick Weihl
maybe and Yeah, you need to add that.
00:15:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
You don't have like a, yeah, you don't have like a Ford ranger plow or anything.
00:15:21
Rick Weihl
158.
00:15:24
RICK JAMES
so
00:15:25
Rick Weihl
it me
00:15:25
Dan Zuber
but yeah
00:15:27
RICK JAMES
I go for comfort, boys. I go for comfort.
00:15:28
Dan Zuber
who
00:15:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
No,
00:15:32
Dan Zuber
i I seriously think that
00:15:32
RICK JAMES
I don't need them.
00:15:34
Rick Weihl
ah yeah that's what we're doing
00:15:36
Dan Zuber
I think it'll sell when you guys see it. It's hard to explain what.
00:15:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
no I can picture it.
00:15:41
RICK JAMES
No, I can.
00:15:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
It looks sounds hot.
00:15:41
RICK JAMES
I can picture it.
00:15:42
Dan Zuber
Yeah, I mean, just just to like, I mean, it takes away from even oil and or fluid film in your plow because it literally seals everything up when rust is really non existent.
00:15:42
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:15:52
Dan Zuber
It's it's super slick. You guys will be super impressed with it.
00:15:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:15:56
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:15:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
Very cool.
00:15:58
RICK JAMES
Superman black and he still got Uncle Rick Orange on there, so it's the best of both worlds, so.
00:16:00
Rick Weihl
Oh yeah, Now we still got to have a little bit orange because my wife's favorite color is orange and I'm a Dodge fan from back in the time, so we got to have our Dodge orange and your wife has orange.
00:16:02
Dan Zuber
right
00:16:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yup.
00:16:08
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:16:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
I like that orange. Yep.
00:16:15
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:16:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:16:15
Dan Zuber
Very cool.
00:16:15
Rick Weihl
And we're different, you know. If it was red, then people would question it a little bit and not know what it is, but going down the road now, they know what it is.
00:16:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, there's no mistake in it.
00:16:25
Dan Zuber
Absolutely.
00:16:25
Rick Weihl
Yeah, 14 foot, 11 foot, but still.
00:16:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool. That's awesome. Good for you guys, man. That sounds great. Can't wait to see that one. when's the ah when When are we gonna be able to see pictures and stuff?
00:16:39
Rick Weihl
We went to powder coat this week, and we'll have it back middle next week, probably be together by the end of the week the way it looks.
00:16:43
RICK JAMES
Let's see. Yep.
00:16:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:16:48
Rick Weihl
We're doing some cylinders because our cylinder run had been done, and we do cylinders in batches of 30s, 40s, and 50s, and so we got to get some cylinders, a batch to go, and then we'll get them orange, and then it'll be rock and roll.
00:17:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool.
00:17:05
RICK JAMES
Nice.
00:17:05
Rick Weihl
Yeah.
00:17:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sounds great.
00:17:06
Rick Weihl
And then speaking of different editions, we still have some Gen 1 plows and um you can actually, hope you don't mind, you can go on Dirt Monkey's ah YouTube and look up
00:17:19
RICK JAMES
yeahp
00:17:23
Rick Weihl
a video with myself and and Stan in it. And I went through that 20 or half hour video of the differences between. If you're plowing snow, you're going to plow the same amount of snow. But what the difference is is the cylinders, the accumulators alongside the hydraulic cylinder, there's probably five less hoses.
00:17:45
Rick Weihl
um But it still functions good. It doesn't lift as high. We're talking just a couple, three inches. And it doesn't lift as fast, but it's acceptable. um And it's got the full two-year warranty. And it only goes, all we have left is boss attachment.
00:18:04
Rick Weihl
um So, it only goes on boss. And honestly, we're going to just blow them out the door, because some people are having a little bit of tough times with the monies, $18,000 for our 14.
00:18:16
RICK JAMES
Hmm. Mm hmm.
00:18:18
Rick Weihl
And I want to get these out to the people that are questioning it. They're like, I wouldn't pay that, but I would pay like what I would pay for a high-end V-plow. So, we're $11,900 for a 14-footer.
00:18:31
Rick Weihl
and 11.5 for a 12. I think there's only two or three 12s left. um Some of them are slightly used. We demoed some. I guess first time, first serve on that.
00:18:44
Rick Weihl
but And we're going to push them.
00:18:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
But they all still have the warranty, Rick, even the ones you demoed.
00:18:48
Rick Weihl
Two-year warranty from DOP data purchase. And I want to push him through Gary at Northfield Power. He's over in the Cleveland area. He's got Northfield Power and Chardon Power.
00:19:00
Rick Weihl
Chardon, I think, is damn, 45 minutes northwest of Cleveland, I believe. That's what I was told.
00:19:06
Dan Zuber
Yes, yes.
00:19:07
Rick Weihl
But Gary has chose to take some of these and run with them. And he told me, you call them up, get it scheduled. Even if you're driving from two states away, doesn't matter.
00:19:19
Rick Weihl
He will have you in and out in four hours.
00:19:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:19:22
Rick Weihl
And he might even buy you lunch.
00:19:22
RICK JAMES
Nice.
00:19:23
Dan Zuber
Yeah, oh yeah.
00:19:25
Rick Weihl
So he's just a really great dealer and amazing service guy.
00:19:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow, nice.
00:19:33
Rick Weihl
They really got it going on. So I wanted to push it all through him. um We do sell a little bit direct if they want to. I would ask anyone that wants to come to see the the shop, come and get it installed here.
00:19:48
Rick Weihl
and we'll put it on or just come and get it we'll put it on the trailer it comes fully assembled you could actually put it on your truck pretty easy we could go over what it takes to do and then i'll give you a treat you like royalty and i'll take you through the and manufacturing facilities so that you can see what we do i'm pretty proud of it we build our own cylinders we assemble every one of them and pressure test everyone put the nitrogen in every cylinder the whole nine we build it all And anybody that wants to see it, they're welcome to come and and pick up a plow.
00:20:22
RICK JAMES
Will you, will, will you make them a slider when they're there?
00:20:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:20:25
RICK JAMES
Will you make them a slider?
00:20:26
Rick Weihl
Oh, yeah, Smashburgers.
00:20:26
RICK JAMES
I heard you made good sliders. Yeah. Smash burgers.
00:20:30
Rick Weihl
Smashburgers.
00:20:30
RICK JAMES
Sorry.
00:20:31
Dan Zuber
and
00:20:31
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Smash burgers. Yeah.
00:20:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nice.
00:20:33
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:20:33
Rick Weihl
I will, or we'll just go, Zub knows, we'll go to the station.
00:20:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right.
00:20:37
Dan Zuber
Oh yeah.
00:20:38
Rick Weihl
How about that?
00:20:38
Dan Zuber
Yes, the station.
00:20:39
Rick Weihl
How's the station?
00:20:39
RICK JAMES
ah Okay.
00:20:43
Rick Weihl
So, anyways, thanks for letting me plug that, but I just want the people that
00:20:43
RICK JAMES
I'll go.
00:20:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right, cool. No, no problem at all.
00:20:46
RICK JAMES
Noah, so the gen ones, so you're saying gen gen ones, are f two there's some F12s and F14s left with just the boss mount and 11.9, you're going to blow them out to get them out.
00:20:47
Rick Weihl
to get a hold of and the and 11.5 for the 12.
00:20:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Go ahead, Jay.
00:21:03
RICK JAMES
Gotcha. That's a good price.
00:21:04
Dan Zuber
Yes.
00:21:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Rick, for guys listening that may not know, the newest gen of the 14 is what, gen three? Okay, so what are the biggest differences between the gen three and the gen one?
00:21:16
RICK JAMES
and
00:21:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
So if guys are interested in the gen one.
00:21:20
Rick Weihl
I guess it'd be Gen 2, but the biggest difference is the Gen 1 has two push cylinders, one on each side of the push frame, and the Gen 2 has one in the center.
00:21:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:21:32
Rick Weihl
The lift cylinder's a lot like a boss plow on the Gen 1, where it lifts up and down, straight up and down, where the lift cylinder for the Gen 2 is kind of horizontal.
00:21:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:21:43
Rick Weihl
And I got that from our rear plow, because our lift cylinder on the rear plow is horizontal, and I just felt it would work better. And sure enough, it lifts a little faster, and the geometry just works the way we did that.
00:21:57
Rick Weihl
um The trip cylinders on the Gen 1 have hydraulics on one side, so they actually can, in transport mode, it actually pulls back and tips the plow.
00:21:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:22:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:22:14
Rick Weihl
um And then we were able to, with the Gen 2, to figure out how to just have it as a big shock slash cylinder on the Gen 2.
00:22:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got you.
00:22:22
Rick Weihl
It's just less hoses. We don't we don't have hose failures, but there's just a lot of them because we really wrap them and you and take care of that. But we were able to simplify things a lot better on the Gen 2.
00:22:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool.
00:22:37
Dan Zuber
If they were side by side, you would never know one's pushing more or less than the other.
00:22:37
Rick Weihl
It just worked.
00:22:37
RICK JAMES
No.
00:22:42
Dan Zuber
It's the same thing. It literally is with just the cylinders different. I mean, it it's the same thing.
00:22:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha, okay. Yeah, just so guys know if in case they're interested in that, that's a hell of a deal.
00:22:49
RICK JAMES
i i Yeah, we have one of those yet, so.
00:22:50
Dan Zuber
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:52
Rick Weihl
It really is. Yeah, you know, right on.
00:22:54
RICK JAMES
Yep, yep, that works fine, yep.
00:22:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
What do you got it on, Jeremy?
00:22:59
RICK JAMES
No problems here. It was on my old pec in my 2015 and now it's, um I think it's on the, is it on the F550 now? It might be on the F550, so.
00:23:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, cool.
00:23:08
Rick Weihl
I think it is. That's one thing that a lot of people don't know. Our plow will handle the 550s. the F550s and all the big ones, even the Kodiak type stuff.
00:23:21
Rick Weihl
What is that? The International,
Nationwide Demonstrations and Future Innovations
00:23:23
Rick Weihl
which is the Duramax or whatever.
00:23:23
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm, yep.
00:23:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:23:26
Rick Weihl
Because of our push cylinder, you literally cannot hurt the plow until it comes back five or eight inches before. So it's just so soft on the truck.
00:23:38
Rick Weihl
I don't know how to explain it until you really run with it to realize that ah and it they just hold up. just
00:23:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:23:46
Rick Weihl
cushions and it goes right back to work.
00:23:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Great.
00:23:47
Dan Zuber
That's it.
00:23:49
RICK JAMES
Well,
00:23:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, I mean, if anybody saw that video of that V plow hitting that curb, which I think, you know, how many millions of views?
00:23:53
RICK JAMES
maybe 56 million, 56, 56 million.
00:23:57
Rick Weihl
54 million.
00:23:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
so yeah there
00:23:59
Rick Weihl
We did that 10 times and it did bend the mold board up front a little and that was pre-production when we did that so I did add a little extra surface area and then we went back at it and it just takes it.
00:24:00
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:24:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean, it was a win Rick. I didn't see anybody get pitched through the windshield. So I mean, that's a win. That was, that was some impact for, and you look you look at how it transferred to the truck and there was barely any transference at all.
00:24:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
The truck barely moved. So that was pretty impressive.
00:24:29
Rick Weihl
like The truck momentum just kept going. It would have stopped another truck and been roaming into the frame.
00:24:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:24:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh yeah.
00:24:35
Rick Weihl
Yeah.
00:24:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:24:36
RICK JAMES
Well, even on these gen one still, you're trying to get a two year warranty still. I mean, that's, that's, that's impressive. I mean, so you have nothing to worry about.
00:24:42
Rick Weihl
Are we standing behind it?
00:24:44
RICK JAMES
You have nothing to worry about.
00:24:45
Rick Weihl
and it has
00:24:45
RICK JAMES
If you get it, I mean, does a regular Paul even have a warranty? Cause I don't, I don't ever get any warranty in my file.
00:24:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
and don't think i don't think so ah
00:24:55
Rick Weihl
And another thing on Gen 1 at the beginning, we had it like a different cutting edge set up and it had a slot above the cutting edge that was open. And I have an adapter kit that goes in there and closes it off and we made different cutting edges.
00:25:10
Rick Weihl
All of these have been upgraded. I've ran around and actually upgraded a ton of other plows. It's just important for me to have the right stuff for the people.
00:25:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't think, I don't think so.
00:25:21
Rick Weihl
So it's just like the Gen 2 on the slot because we did have some freezing in that area. It wasn't horrible, but I found a way around it to make it better.
00:25:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
We have heard that, Rick. like We always say we do our homework you know when when products come our way. We do our homework. We ask around. And it's got to be at least five to six people that have said, the guy is crazy. like There was nothing wrong with the plow. I called with a question. And next thing I know, he says, I'm going to be there in two days. I'm going to switch all that out for you. And we heard that like four to five times like that you were just Constantly updating and upgrading when nothing's even broken. So I mean hats off good for you That's uh, that's awesome that you stand behind your stuff that much
00:26:05
Rick Weihl
yeah It was an easy upgrade. I just wanted to purge out the old stuff and make sure that they spent a lot of money. And if I can't come back through and square it up, and it just it's important to me because that's what I'm born from the end user blood. That's what I am. Long care snow plowing. There's nothing worse than thinking you're nobody. and And just pay for this upgrade. We want you to pay for it and oh pay for shipping too, or whatever the case. and
00:26:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:26:34
Rick Weihl
It's broke, but oh well, I can't even talk to anybody. When it's down, I bleed because it just saddens me so much. No one's making money. And so um I want everybody to know, even on my back, on our back blades that we built five plus years ago, we literally could build three three to five back blades, just from parts.
00:26:57
Rick Weihl
I mean, every last thing, we have the mobile boards, the wings. I probably should shoot a video and and just show people the inventory that we have.
00:27:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:27:06
Rick Weihl
um It's just important. There's nothing we can't provide for you on anything that we ever built. And that was the way it but was back in hurricane days too.
00:27:15
Rick Weihl
So um I take a lot of pride in that.
00:27:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you.
00:27:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
You still got those triple switches. You still got the triple toggles for the hurricane.
00:27:21
Rick Weihl
I honestly do.
00:27:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
very yeah a Oh man, that's awesome.
00:27:25
Rick Weihl
I do for all, we've got hundreds of them in the local area.
00:27:26
RICK JAMES
I want a Rick rick James edition.
00:27:29
Rick Weihl
Yeah. So.
00:27:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you, Rick. That's great. Oh, what else we got boys? So we got the F ones. If you guys are looking for a good deal, F one for Jen, the Jen one F ones or F four teens rather get them.
00:27:44
RICK JAMES
F-12s, F-14.
00:27:46
Dan Zuber
Yeah.
00:27:46
RICK JAMES
A couple of F-12s left and the rest are for F-14s.
00:27:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:27:49
RICK JAMES
So, yeah.
00:27:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sweet. And a boss mount only, correct?
00:27:50
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:27:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
That was correct on that one.
00:27:53
RICK JAMES
Yep, yep.
00:27:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right, cool.
00:27:54
Rick Weihl
ah Awesome out and then on the gen twos. We officially started ah another adapter and it's been certified Because we went I went back to S and&S.
00:28:05
Rick Weihl
It's part of the 3400 miles on that truck, but so We now have an adapter for snow way.
00:28:09
RICK JAMES
Oh jeez.
00:28:13
Rick Weihl
So we're snowway snow way snow X Western Fisher and boss in Snow dog Is a lot of people
00:28:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, cool.
00:28:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Don't worry about it.
00:28:23
Rick Weihl
They've tried to snow dog, and I don't even know if their iron is strong enough. I'm not trying to dog the snow dog, but I want to do the research to make sure, because 14 foot puts a lot of horsepower down, you know, and I i want to look and see how they hook up.
00:28:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:28:36
Dan Zuber
Okay.
00:28:38
Rick Weihl
Again, I'm not trying to dog the snow dog. I just want to check it before we do it, but I've had a few people requesting that. I probably shouldn't. It came across wrong. I don't mean that, but that's how I'm talking.
00:28:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, I get it. I'll behave.
00:28:52
RICK JAMES
ah
00:28:54
Rick Weihl
ah i feel it
00:28:57
RICK JAMES
hu
00:28:57
Rick Weihl
yeah you shakeking
00:28:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:28:58
RICK JAMES
Yeah, he's shaking snow dog, snow dog, snow dog bobblehead.
00:28:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Jeremy's got a little dog bobblehead.
00:29:03
RICK JAMES
He's scared.
00:29:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man.
00:29:05
RICK JAMES
Can't handle the F-14.
00:29:06
Rick Weihl
ah That's an amazing company, it really is.
00:29:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
and That's a big blade.
00:29:10
RICK JAMES
ah
00:29:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's a big blade, handles a lot of snow.
00:29:10
Rick Weihl
Yeah, it is. We put a lot of torque on things. so But that's what's good about our wing, especially on the 14. There's a lot of leverage when it's out. But if you hit something, the wing comes back 90.
00:29:20
Rick Weihl
So it's impossible to have that leverage transfer all the way back to the truck. When the wing comes back, the hydraulics give way so you cannot put the extra crash onto the truck because of the leverage.
00:29:33
Rick Weihl
You know what I'm trying to say?
00:29:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Genius. I love it.
00:29:35
Rick Weihl
It just lets it go by.
00:29:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yup.
00:29:35
RICK JAMES
Mm hmm.
00:29:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
I love it. Sounds great buddy. What else we got boys? Anything else we got to get to?
00:29:42
Dan Zuber
i I was going to throw one more thing in there.
00:29:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
A new one. Go ahead, throw it in there doggy.
00:29:45
Dan Zuber
oh So so many people here that ah comment or text me or message me online, they want. they they all wanna demo or they wanna see it in person. Rick and I will vouch. If someone contacts even you guys, Jeremy or Steve, and they wanna see one of our plows in action, we are willing to literally travel anywhere in the country and work with them side by side, let them try a plow so they can see it hand in hand. I know Storm's gonna have one up at the academy but if they wanna see one and want us to comply with them, we will do it anytime they want. Vblade F14, if they want us to bring both, it's capable of doing it on one truck and we wanna get it out there and show people that we're committed to the product that we're selling.
00:30:29
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I'll echo that.
00:30:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Awesome.
00:30:30
RICK JAMES
um I have a couple at our place. If anybody's in an area they want to see it, they can come over here and check them out too. So at Gliese Land.
00:30:37
Dan Zuber
Absolutely, and and I mean, they can,
00:30:38
Rick Weihl
And Dave did hit it, but.
00:30:40
Dan Zuber
And they can use, and it's not about them having a hookup on their truck. I mean, they are, we want them to use, we will let them, I will let them use my truck. If you're plowing, I would imagine you could handle going in a parking lot in a straight line, getting a feel for it. And I would love people to be able to use it for themselves and just not watch us do it. Let them actually experience it so they can say, oh wow, this is really what I want. That's how I look at it. Let them test it for themselves and, and let them, let them make their own choice on if they want to buy it or not.
00:31:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:31:11
RICK JAMES
Can the silver bullet, can the silver bullet try your truck?
00:31:14
Rick Weihl
ah not
00:31:14
Dan Zuber
Go ahead. It's afforded ain't gonna break ah I'll bring it up there.
00:31:17
RICK JAMES
Oh boy.
00:31:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
What? It comes broken.
00:31:19
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:31:24
Rick Weihl
and And it is of official.
00:31:24
Dan Zuber
I told you I'm gonna come to Glacier land this winter.
00:31:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:31:26
RICK JAMES
well Yes.
00:31:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
hook
00:31:26
Dan Zuber
I'll bring it but yeah yeah Under 50 mile an hour
00:31:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think, I think there has to be asterisks with warranties, like no Broughton warranty.
00:31:29
RICK JAMES
ah
00:31:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like everybody gets two years except for Andy Broughton is eight days. but
00:31:41
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:31:41
RICK JAMES
Oh boy.
00:31:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh man.
00:31:43
Rick Weihl
Then we're going to need 10 inches of a push cylinder for him.
00:31:44
Dan Zuber
but the
00:31:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Now he's, he will test it.
00:31:46
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:31:47
RICK JAMES
and
00:31:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
He will test it.
00:31:49
Dan Zuber
Anyone Absolutely
00:31:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
He's very good at what he does. He will test it thoroughly.
00:31:54
Rick Weihl
It is official.
00:31:54
RICK JAMES
One of the best.
00:31:55
Rick Weihl
I did get ahold of Jordan and it's absolutely official. It is going to be at Storm Academy academy on trucks. So when he's teaching people how to run the metal plus plows and loaders,
00:32:09
Rick Weihl
Um, it's very kind of him. Uh, they did buy a couple of them for their fleet and they're willing to have them there for people. And Jordan is such a straight up stand up guy.
00:32:19
Rick Weihl
Amazing. Um, I won't say his age, but he's got a lot of years to be in this business.
00:32:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:32:26
Rick Weihl
And, uh, I'm really looking forward to the tail end of when he's out because and things are going to revolve so much. He's got so much horsepower and change and. I thought I had some innovative minds. He's really got the business savvy to to make it happen. And it's cool to have him as a friend now talking to him here and there.
00:32:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, they're crushing it.
00:32:45
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:32:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
They're definitely crushing it.
00:32:46
RICK JAMES
Yep. I was, I got, I got such a, I have a good shot at metal plus, but I'm going to probably hold it. or
00:32:53
Rick Weihl
yeah
00:32:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, you sure?
00:32:55
RICK JAMES
Well, why, you know, I have all in the repair and the hoses.
00:32:56
Dan Zuber
on Say it.
00:33:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
no
00:33:02
RICK JAMES
You can check out the snow power.
00:33:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go. There you go in the downtime.
00:33:05
RICK JAMES
Come on.
00:33:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh yeah Yeah, no problem.
00:33:07
RICK JAMES
I have to, it was Rick set it up. I had to hit it. I mean, I don't know.
00:33:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
No problem.
00:33:13
RICK JAMES
Come on, Jordan. Don't worry about the joke. Everybody mafia. Calm down.
00:33:17
Rick Weihl
I do have one more thing.
00:33:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
Go, Rick.
00:33:20
Rick Weihl
I decided to send it out into the wild. I have a direct replacement cylinder for boss and it will go on the plow and it has my patented down pressure.
00:33:36
Rick Weihl
You literally take one hose off and plug it at the pump and put our cylinder in the place of theirs and then you have to do a little bit of wiring because when the headgear is going up it actually runs the pump so if you shut that part of it off on the headgear and you literally will have down pressure on your boss plow all the time we have made it we've tested it now boss says you shouldn't plow with it on down pressure
00:34:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow. That's interesting.
00:34:06
RICK JAMES
so Sounds was dangerous.
00:34:09
Rick Weihl
So I'm sure it's going to void your warranty. I'm not trying to, I'm just saying if you want it, you can put whatever you want on your file, but it probably will and will void the warranty.
00:34:23
Rick Weihl
But let's scrape in.
00:34:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
I still gotta, I gotta think, do we even have warranties with these plows?
00:34:28
RICK JAMES
I don't know.
00:34:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like seriously, I don't know Douglas dynamics.
00:34:29
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:34:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't know boss. I don't remember signing any warranty card information with these plows.
00:34:35
Dan Zuber
and
00:34:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah, your tail light warranty.
00:34:38
Rick Weihl
right
00:34:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't know. Maybe they do offer them. Maybe I just don't know, but I mean, yeah. Cool.
00:34:45
Rick Weihl
It's not cheap, 450 bucks, but we can send it to you.
00:34:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's interesting, Rick.
00:34:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:34:51
Rick Weihl
Same bolts, same hose.
00:34:52
RICK JAMES
so ah What else are you going to think about Jesus?
00:34:54
Rick Weihl
You need to plug in a little bit of wiring.
00:34:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's cool. Very cool.
00:34:59
Dan Zuber
That's it.
00:35:02
Rick Weihl
Now look at your field.
00:35:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:35:03
Dan Zuber
Oh, if only you knew.
00:35:05
RICK JAMES
I think I know.
00:35:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
need and I need a sidewalk machine and a self-contained salt spreader for a skid steer.
00:35:08
Rick Weihl
Yeah.
00:35:10
RICK JAMES
My lips are sealed.
00:35:10
Dan Zuber
Don't say it. yes
00:35:11
RICK JAMES
My lips are sealed.
00:35:13
Rick Weihl
yeah there
00:35:18
RICK JAMES
I need robots.
00:35:18
Rick Weihl
hey
00:35:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's what I need. i need ah I need something like the boss quick cube, but actually well thought out. Not not that freaking disaster.
00:35:29
Dan Zuber
well
00:35:32
Rick Weihl
It's going to take me a while, but I got a sidewalk machine that is amazing.
00:35:33
Dan Zuber
Rick's the guy.
00:35:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah?
00:35:38
Rick Weihl
And we're actually, I've been talking to the patent attorney and it's pretty cool.
00:35:40
RICK JAMES
I know about this, but see, I kept that.
00:35:41
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:35:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Love it. Love it.
00:35:43
RICK JAMES
I kept that secret.
00:35:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Did you?
00:35:47
RICK JAMES
Yeah, I was told it.
00:35:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. Atta boy, Jeremy.
00:35:52
Dan Zuber
but yeah
00:35:53
RICK JAMES
I get a treat.
00:35:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Oh, that's great.
00:35:53
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:35:54
RICK JAMES
I get a treat now.
00:35:54
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:35:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, wow.
00:35:57
Dan Zuber
no
00:35:57
Rick Weihl
So, yeah, it's going to take me a little bit to build it. And and honestly, I want to slow down a little bit and not bring things out so soon.
00:36:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:36:06
Rick Weihl
I want to put more time on it. It saddens me that I have a Gen 1. It works great, but then I evolved it within two years. If I could just slow down and sell what we have and put two years on something, then I don't have to have a Gen 1 to get to a Gen 2.
00:36:21
Rick Weihl
And I learned that through hurricane. I really didn't have a super strong, strong hurricane until about 2014. And it started in 08. And that 14 is when it blew three different ways. And then I knew I had something. This one's moving a lot faster and better. I really only had two gens.
00:36:41
Rick Weihl
um But I like, for instance, the sidewalk machine. I do want to put some time on this one heavily because it's outside of my normal realm because I built a ton of plows.
00:36:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Mm-hmm.
00:36:52
Rick Weihl
I built it back laid back in the eighties. So I feel comfortable on plows, but it's it's not going to be easy, but I got a cool sidewalk machine that's common.
00:37:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Let me know. I'm ready to help. I'm ready to help. Whatever you need for a sidewalk machine.
00:37:05
Dan Zuber
Absolutely.
00:37:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:37:07
Rick Weihl
So I appreciate it, guys.
00:37:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:37:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't even, Jeremy didn't even tell me about that.
00:37:10
Dan Zuber
yeah
00:37:11
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:37:11
Dan Zuber
Yeah.
00:37:12

00:37:22
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:37:22
RICK JAMES
Just think of much other stuff I got up here. I'm not telling you.
00:37:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
i'm afraid I can't even imagine now. Oh man.
00:37:28
RICK JAMES
You can't.
00:37:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great.
00:37:30
Rick Weihl
That was one of the meetings I had at the show. I was able to talk to Hydro Gear, and i I slipped a few ah questions to them. And, man, it's so nice to have the support of all the vendors.
00:37:43
Rick Weihl
um They told me some of the stuff that they're getting into, and I'm probably going to go with the Hydro Gear, and they're setting up a little bit of stuff for me. So it's probably two years out.
00:37:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sweet.
00:37:54
RICK JAMES

00:38:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
