I think everybody in here has got, what, 50 plus on it this year hours wise close to if if not 50 so yeah everybody's got over 50 hours on them so you know if uh we've used them enough to definitely figure out what's uh what's good what's not so good if there is anything so that's what we're going to talk about so we're going get right into it
00:02:40
Arctic Steve
Yeah, for sure.

Yeah. You bet. you be
00:02:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
And we'll start with, ah guys, what was your initial impression, you know, of the plow? And did you did you have to put it together yourself? where Was it created and you guys had to assemble it and
Initial Impressions of the Razorback Plow
00:03:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
install? Or did you get it installed somewhere or or by Arctic themselves? So, Andy, what about you?
00:03:15
Silverbullet
Mine showed up with a red bow on it just ready to fuck. So.....................
00:03:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah we're up And we're off. That didn't take long. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:03:35
Arctic Boys
That is an option we offer.
00:03:38
RICK JAMES
Well, that's the option for Steve next year if I recall that one.
00:03:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah ah oh man what about you steve smythe
00:03:48
Arctic Steve
I was fortunate enough to have Big Daddy assemble mine and put it on the truck in the Arctic shop.
00:03:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh nice all right cool and what was your first impression seeing it in the uh in the wild there on your truck
00:03:55
Arctic Steve
So it was a pretty sweet.
00:04:03
Arctic Steve
Seeing it in the wild or first time dropping it on the parking lot?
00:04:03
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:04:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, seeing it like on your truck for the first time.
00:04:07
Arctic Boys
Yes.
00:04:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
What was your like initial impression as far as how it was constructed? um you know was it What did you think? like You know plows. You've been doing it a long time.
00:04:18
Arctic Steve
and Been running Artix for many years and it was, it was just kind of, wow. I had it on a snowplow mafia last night. I kind of did a little summary of what I thought it was and it's super impressive. I had it, I had it last year too, but at the plow, iss super impressive.
00:04:35
Arctic Steve
Rides unbelievable on a truck um going down the road. i don't run the weight kit on mine. But, Coming from ah basically Douglas Dynamics ah Western since 91, we ran a ton of wide outs over the years. And yeah, it's very impressive.
00:04:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool. Andy, can you get serious? What was your first impression of the plow?
00:04:56
Silverbullet
a Honestly, I loved it. um There was there's a couple that first November storm we had. we There was a couple spots of like really thick hard pack that I had sent you,
Razorback's Design and Snow Performance
00:05:13
Silverbullet
Lucas. And actually putting the down pressure down and being able to scrape it up was actually kind of mind-blowing.
00:05:21
Silverbullet
The ability of it...
00:05:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it's pretty cool.
00:05:26
Silverbullet
Yeah, it's it's like nothing nothing else. i I mean, to be able to scrape two, three inches of ice, hard-packed snow off the pavement clean is... It's almost unreal.
00:05:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Did anything stand out to you guys? Anything like when you looked over the plow before you even used it, the construction wise, did anything jump out at you? Like at first glance that you're like, well, that's not dumb. Like that's pretty that's pretty awesome.
00:05:56
Arctic Steve
Just, I mean, ah attachment, to how it attaches to the truck, it's super simple.
00:05:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Anything catch your eye?
00:06:01
Arctic Steve
um Just everything on it's clean.
00:06:03
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:06:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know what got me? The box beam. The giant box beam that all the moldboard sections are angered to. like That looks pretty damn indestructible. that was That is a beefy, beefy thing.
00:06:15
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:06:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
And I just noticed right off the bat, because we got ours shipped in a crate, so we did all the put the assembly and put together.
00:06:24
Arctic Boys
Thank you.
00:06:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
um My guy Mark and his cousin, they they hammered that out. They got on it, and they were like... this is this is insane like this thing is so cool they were having a ball trying to put it together and uh but yeah that box beam is what you see because none when when you get it in the crate none of the mold board sections are are attached or anything you know we put the whole thing together but you got that box beam in the head gear and it was like holy crap like that is a serious that's a serious piece of metal right there
00:06:58
Arctic Steve
Yep, for sure. it was like, we used to run a lot of, uh, where I used to, before we sold the bright view, but we used to run a lot of 13 foot LDs. And it's when that, when that came out of the crate, it's like, I love the 13 LD and ah on a 908 or a 321 and now it's on your pickup.
00:07:13
Arctic Steve
It was it's super cool.
00:07:14
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:07:15

User Feedback and Support from Arctic
00:07:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
good look
00:07:34
Arctic Boys
know?
00:07:34
Arctic Boys
I mean, you were talking about, you know, opening up the crate. What what do you guys think of the crate, the whole process assembly? Like, how do you, what what's your opinion on how we put that together?
00:07:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
The crating was really...
00:07:46
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:07:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
um not complicated but everything was secure in its place it was uh it took i think they said it took an hour and a half to uncrate like like it was so secure for transport like they they took it apart very carefully and got all the parts laid out and once they got once they got moving on it jeff bays was nice enough to send a couple videos uh on assembly and wiring and stuff like that and and the boys just got after it and
00:08:02
Arctic Steve
Okay.
00:08:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think it was three, three and a half hours, maybe, maybe four hours and it was done from soup to nuts. So on the truck side and the plow.
00:08:24
Arctic Boys
From the truck and the plow?
00:08:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:08:28
Arctic Boys
That sounds about right, honestly.
00:08:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I think four hours was, it was about the time.
00:08:34
Arctic Steve
Yeah, it's about how long it took us with with Big Daddy.
00:08:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Um,
00:08:34
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
00:08:37
Arctic Boys
yeah
00:08:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah, i was I was lucky enough to down to Frankfurt there and get ours. We got two of them that day, and we helped Johnny put the one one of them together. and It didn't didn't take long at all. I didn't think i thought it was went really quick. Obviously, he had done a couple before that, but which helped. but like The crating was...
00:08:56
RICK JAMES
I thought the grading was great. i mean, we pulled the shit, we pulled everything out and put it together quickly. Once you got the beam on, it was, just you know, good to go. It what didn't take long at all. i I thought it was really quick.
00:09:06
RICK JAMES
Even the wiring went, mean, wiring's simple compared to what we've seen in the past where you're pulling the whole front of the vehicle apart, the wire.
00:09:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Super simple. The wiring was super simple.
00:09:15
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:09:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's that's one thing they said. It was very much easier than ah than anything else out there that they've both messed with before. But, yeah, Mark is ah he's extremely good at what he does, and he's very detail-oriented.
00:09:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
So he was going over that thing and just looking at like he goes, well, yeah, this is not done.
00:09:34
Arctic Steve
Yeah, it's
00:09:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
I i remember he saw the the reservoir in the headgear, and he's like, yeah. That, like, wow. It only took 30 years of truck plows for somebody to figure out, maybe make a reservoir clear so you can see the level.
00:09:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
so i that It i
00:09:51
Arctic Boys
We really try over here.
00:09:51
RICK JAMES
you know yeah yeah
00:09:53
Arctic Steve
yeah it's
00:09:54
Arctic Boys
Yeah, scratch our headphones. well you you made a good mention of something too You said Jetbase was my step to send over some videos.
00:09:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
was like.
00:10:02
Arctic Boys
And for anyone in the future installing these or just needs product support, we put all that stuff on our website too. So the videos that we sent over to Mark and a few other people, know, there's stuff, controller functions, proper fitting maintenance, the installation of the plow itself, gap shield installation, stuff like that.
00:10:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:10:14
Arctic Steve
Bye.
00:10:21
Arctic Boys
It's all on our website. So people do have questions about that.
00:10:22
Silverbullet
feels
00:10:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:10:24
Arctic Boys
They are able to go on there and they're pretty informative.
Comparisons with Other Plows
00:10:27
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
00:10:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
The videos are are are really like they're great.
00:10:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
I mean, you see some videos like sometimes, they' oh, there's a video out there to show you how to do this.
00:10:34
Arctic Boys
I wonder who edited it. I wonder
00:10:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
And you'll watch the video and be like, I got no fucking clue what that guy just did. Like I saw the video, but I can't like these videos are very actually you can see.
00:10:40
Arctic Boys
who edited it.
00:10:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, OK. So that's what he's doing there. That's what he's doing there. Like they're actually oh, we can actually work from these videos.
00:10:50
Arctic Boys
Yeah, we want make to make it as easy as possible because one of the the interesting things about us too is not only are we branching it out into the market for other people to watch, but when we have mechanics, when we have guys internally trying to install this stuff, me and Blake took a look when making the video and editing it, like what is the easiest step A to step Z process video where anyone with some sort of knowledge doing an installation like that can watch that video and properly install it.
00:10:51
Arctic Steve
The cool thing
00:11:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:11:18
Arctic Boys
So I appreciate it.
00:11:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, they definitely can. They're great videos. Well done.
00:11:21
Arctic Steve
The big thing with you guys, too, is it's like I got Baze on speed dial. We talk all the time. But for the for the guys that don't necessarily talk with him much, they post something on one of the snowplow sites on Facebook or whatever.
00:11:32

00:13:10
Arctic Steve
You know, I came from, like I said, from Western. We ran Western straight blades. Blizzard came out in the mid 2000s, early 2000s. We ran Blizzards. Douglas bought Blizzard out and started started making the wide out. So we've been wide out guys since then. We ran a lot of them.
00:13:26
Arctic Steve
uh, hydraulic wing plows for a pickup. We're always kind of the, you know, if we don't like to plow with pickups, but if we were going to, that's what we, that's what we'd choose.
00:13:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:13:34
Arctic Steve
Putting that sectional on, like I said, we ran Western truck plows. We ran Arctic, Arctic plows on the loaders or boxes on the loaders. And man, the scrape was this like, it was like, Holy crap.
00:13:45
Arctic Steve
This is a, this is an LD on a, on a compact on a pickup now, you know, and and the scrape was unbelievable.
00:13:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
ye
00:13:49
Silverbullet
so
00:13:50
Arctic Steve
And that, that was before I even hit the down pressure or did any of that. We'll get into that later. But the, the scrape on it's it's an arctic.
00:13:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
We did the side-by-side. We had the 13LD and the Razorback side-by-side, and we did a team push with it.
00:14:04
RICK JAMES
Yes.
00:14:05
Arctic Steve
with i did it i did another i did another I did another side by side here a few weeks back a month ago or so with with another plow.
00:14:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
And you couldn't tell which one was which, scrape-wise.
00:14:12
Arctic Steve
It's got down pressure on it too. And it was a pretty good comparison.
00:14:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
All right. Andy, what about you? First time plowing. Thoughts?
00:14:22
Silverbullet
Oh, man. She just fucks.
00:14:25
Arctic Boys
Man of many words.
00:14:29
Silverbullet
ah mean I don't know.
00:14:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, that is.
00:14:32
Arctic Steve
All right, Andy.
00:14:33
Silverbullet
It's one thing to have, like, mean, an article on the water is perfect, too, but then you put it on the pickup and you can do, you know, essentially the same quality of work on a pickup. It's just, it's, don't know.
00:14:51
Silverbullet
To me, it's it's awesome. I love it. I use it on pavement, use it on, I do a couple small town like gravel roads and it it works great.
Razorback's Features and Effectiveness
00:15:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. yep
00:15:04
Silverbullet
I it. I really can't find anything that I would change about it.
00:15:14
Silverbullet
It works phenomenal. So.
00:15:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think ah the first time out for me, I actually had one of my guys in the in the truck with me. We had an extra guy, actually. It never happens. But I'm like, you know, I think we were down a machine, honestly, and ah I didn't have a seat for him. So i'm like, hey, jump in. You can take videos of this thing because we're going document this. Whatever it does, whatever it doesn't do, you know we want to get it. They want feedback. They want honest shit. So let's you know let's document it.
00:15:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
And I think the first push in, if I remember correctly, I was looking in the rear view the whole time to see the scrape like that I was leaving behind.
00:15:52
Silverbullet
Mm-hmm.
00:15:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
And I was watching the wings and I got to the end of the push. And I i think I said, holy fuck, like this is this is so different.
00:15:58
Arctic Boys
I just have a resume.
00:16:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like this is a I expected it. Obviously, I love the sectionals. I live and die by them. I expected this to be good coming from Arctic. I just expected it to be good.
00:16:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
I had no idea. Like, I just wasn't prepared for how good it was and how much I was going to love it.
00:16:22
Silverbullet
Yeah, definitely. Yeah. it's a
00:16:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like there's a t-shirt coming, you know, with the famous line, you know, there's a t-shirt coming with a famous line that I uttered, you know, cause I, I spoke to Lucas at some point during the first storm.
00:16:26
Arctic Boys
That's
00:16:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was, I think we got four or five inches the first time I plowed with it. And he's like, ah, what do you think? i'm like, dude, if this plow was any better, I said, I i think I would fuck this plow if I could.
00:16:47
Arctic Boys
like has that's a t-shirt.
00:16:47
RICK JAMES
and
00:16:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's so awesome.
00:16:50
RICK JAMES

The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I said, dude, it's so awesome.
00:16:51
RICK JAMES

00:16:53
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:16:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
um the
00:16:59
Arctic Boys
We're going to have to steal that quote.
00:17:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Go ahead.
00:17:01
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:17:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Have at it.
00:17:02
RICK JAMES
We said that when you said that.
00:17:02
Arctic Boys
Marketing has a lot of leeway.
00:17:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
whats That's it.
00:17:04
RICK JAMES
We're like, that's a t-shirt.
00:17:06
Arctic Boys
We're very interested in doing stuff like that. But other shirt could be it fucks, quotation, silver block, if that's not it.
00:17:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go. but it's just it's It's honestly mind-blowing, though.
00:17:13
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:17:14
Silverbullet
Agreed.
00:17:15
RICK JAMES
It fucks.
00:17:15
Arctic Steve
jimmy we
00:17:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's definitely.
00:17:17
Arctic Steve
Jeremy, do you remember when we were talking about Steve saying that and I was plowing a certain road at our shop?
00:17:22
RICK JAMES
Yup, I do, I do.
00:17:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
What road?
00:17:25
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:17:27
Arctic Steve
I was plowing Big Daddy Way at our shop.
00:17:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Can't say.
00:17:31
Arctic Steve
Jordan's private estate road.
00:17:31
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:17:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay, nice.
00:17:35
Arctic Steve
And it's got a steep hill on it.
00:17:35
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:17:36
Arctic Steve
And it was ice. It was icy underneath the snow. And I was just just cutting through it while I get up the top of the hill and my tires are getting a little shitty on my truck. And I was on the phone with Jeremy, got to the top of the hill and the truck starts sliding backwards and it's all big trees.
00:17:47
Silverbullet
so
00:17:49
RICK JAMES
Oh shit, oh shit, all hear is oh shit.
00:17:51
Arctic Steve
And the truck's sliding faster, faster, faster. And there's this big fucking ash that I'm going hit with my brand new pickup. just I didn't think about it i don't even know why i did it. I just hit the down button on the plow and held it down, and the down pressure went on. The fucker was like a boat anchor. It stopped and it spun the truck back on the road and stopped it dead, man. It was crazy.
00:18:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
You you did you did the whole panic kung fu grip with both hands Man
00:18:17
Arctic Steve
I did something, man, but it' saved I was taken out of oxide for sure on that event.
00:18:18
RICK JAMES
yeah Yeah. The phone goes quiet. The phone goes quiet. He's like, I missed a tree by like inch.
00:18:27
Arctic Boys
you from spilling your beer, right, Steve?
00:18:29
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:18:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
man
00:18:30
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:18:31
Arctic Steve
And I got big daddy way plowed. So Jordan jordan so so could successfully go back and forth to his house to work.
00:18:34
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:18:38
Arctic Boys
Oh, there go.
00:18:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
the ah The most impressive thing right off the bat that I noticed right away on the big storm was with the wings.
00:18:39
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:18:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was curious about the wings um with with wind rowing. And the amazing thing, I took videos of it. I posted videos of it. I could put the leading edge right on the snow line with six inches of snow and angle it and not lose a single drop of snow off the leading edge.
00:19:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like it rolls like an Arctic, like everybody expects an Arctic to roll. And it just, everything goes to the opposite side. You don't lose anything off the leading edge. And and I can't say that. I don't care. And you're using the full 12 feet.
00:19:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like if you're in straight blade, you're using the full 12 feet and you're getting it.
00:19:23
Arctic Boys
Okay.
00:19:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Whereas on the Western MVP threes, listen, love them. They're, they're great truck plows. They've been great for us, but you, everybody that's used a regular plow knows if you're wind rowing, you're getting maybe half of that blade with, if that, without losing it off, if you're wind rowing,
00:19:39
Arctic Steve
Yeah, I agree with that. one are they One of the other things too, it's just like with our other plows in the past, you know, you get into deep snow and the plows would, you know, when you got a big brule in front of it, the pickup plow had a tendency to want to float up and rise up.
00:19:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:19:54
Arctic Steve
This is without doing the down pressure.
00:19:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Not this thing. No, this is a little beefier.
00:19:56
Arctic Steve
These things fall hold to the ground. Yep.
00:19:59
RICK JAMES
Yeah. I
00:20:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's got enough weight to stay down. That's for sure.
00:20:02
Arctic Boys
Yeah, you can move a lot of snow with the V plows or the wings. The only downside is that those wings are fixed at that forward angle. So when you go to windrow, it's going to contain the snow. So you kind of push the snow to the middle of that plow and then it wants to start diverting it ah to the, you know, the the other direction leading yeah and the the leading edge and then it's going to push over.
00:20:14
Arctic Steve
Mm-hmm.
00:20:24
Arctic Boys
So they're great for moving a lot of snow, but when you want to start windrowing, you almost have to take one of the wings off. You want to keep that efficiency.
00:20:31
RICK JAMES
Folder back.
00:20:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Yeah.
00:20:32
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:20:32
Arctic Boys
Yeah, you're right, though. i remember taking video this year, going out there and filming some content at night. I was so shocked to see, I mean, Lucas and Blake taking film while they were plowing.
00:20:43
Arctic Boys
I mean, like you said, Steve, they're right on the edge of that line right there.
00:20:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:20:46
Arctic Boys
I mean, go left to row.
00:20:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
within Within three to four inches, I was i was trying to lose snow to see where I, you know, you're learning a new plow.
00:20:48
Arctic Boys
and
00:20:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
You're learning what it can and can't do. And I'm treating it just like any other plow. And yeah, like within four inches of the of the snow line, that's where my leading edge was. And I didn't lose anything.
00:21:05
Arctic Boys
Yeah, Blake came up with a good turn.
00:21:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was shocked.
00:21:07
Arctic Boys
Might have to steal it from Red Bull. Hopefully you don't get
Productivity Boost with Razorback
00:21:10
Arctic Boys
sued. But maybe Razorback gives you wings. Who knows?
00:21:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go.
00:21:13
Arctic Boys
Yeah, that that sounds like a loss, dude.
00:21:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Yep. That's, uh, get the lawyers ready.
00:21:15
Arctic Boys
I'm not leaving!
00:21:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh,
00:21:16
RICK JAMES
Yeah, that's a lossy lane.
00:21:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeahp yeah
00:21:18
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:21:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
and's ah get the get the lawyers ready
00:21:19
RICK JAMES
No, I –
00:21:24
RICK JAMES
I still remember last year when we got the retrofit, Andy was using it.
00:21:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh
00:21:24
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:21:28
RICK JAMES
and And I was in a loader, so i ah I got out and took some video. i just meant He was, you know, hauling ass. And the way that thing was just rolling that snow was it's just like like a fucking tornado going in front of it.
00:21:39
RICK JAMES
Just rolling, rolling, rolling. It just kept it moving in front of it. And that's that's just your typical Arctic.
00:21:42
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:21:44
RICK JAMES
You know, it was pretty, it was like five inches of heavy wet shit, if I remember right, last spring when we were using it. But... It was just cool watching that thing and what it looked like behind just, you know this bare pavement behind it. And I remember I was on the headset with Andy and he was just like, it fucks pretty much they know what Andy said.
00:22:00
RICK JAMES
The thing is badass.
00:22:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:22:00
Arctic Boys
No. no
00:22:01
RICK JAMES
Yeah. He was like, this this thing is incredible.
00:22:03
Arctic Boys
look
00:22:04
RICK JAMES
I still, I mean, it's like a kid in a candy store and is just happy as shit. And just like, this thing is awesome. I'm like, yeah, it's fucking awesome.
00:22:10
Silverbullet
Yeah, it is. It is the same thing as this year, too. there's so there's a highway that goes through the one town that I do, and it's not technically mine, but the county does it, and it's dog shit.
00:22:23
Silverbullet
And I've done it for years with my boss plow. Usually by the time I get to it, it's drove over so many times, the boss just kind of floats over top. The Razorback just, instead when you hit something, the boss floats up,
00:22:40
Silverbullet
You hit it with the arctic or the razorback and it just pulls it down and you shit's just flying everywhere. it's a Well, that video I sent you, Lucas, it actually came in the sunroof of my pickup because it was nice coming over.
00:22:56
Arctic Boys
Yeah, they pretty hard.
00:22:59
Silverbullet
Yeah, and it's awesome.
00:23:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:23:00
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:23:01
Silverbullet
I don't know.
00:23:04
Arctic Steve
think we got, Jeremy, we got we got some video up plowing with you guys up in Fargo last year where I was in the middle and we were touching tips with, what, two 926s on either side.
00:23:04
Silverbullet
They fucked.
00:23:12
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:23:13
Arctic Steve
And I was in the middle and that was without down pressure again.
00:23:13
RICK JAMES
Oh
00:23:16
Arctic Steve
And they were they were all scraping pretty equal, you know.
00:23:20
RICK JAMES
yeah. Yeah.
00:23:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
What was the, after plowing with it for the first time, what was something that absolutely blew you away?
00:23:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
one aspect of it wasn't.
00:23:31
Arctic Steve
I would say coming up to a loading dock when you're back dragging.
00:23:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
huh.
00:23:36
Arctic Steve
Again, i'm I like equipment more so than trucks. And this is one of the reasons. It's like when you go to back drag at a commercial site or even like if you're doing HOAs or residential driveways, you're back dragging in that plow goes, you know, the first four feet or whatever.
00:23:50
Arctic Steve
It scrapes decent, but then it starts riding up on you and you start packing snow down.
00:23:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:23:55
Arctic Steve
These things cut so nice when you're back dragging with that down pressure on. I'll do my my example, like at my house, my my driveway, like all snow guys is the last one ever to get touched and it's packed down and crap and ice. And it just looks, my wife's like, man, are you doing something different with the driveway this year? Cause it's actually clean.
00:24:13
Arctic Steve
So, and it's, it's from that.
00:24:14
RICK JAMES
Great.
00:24:15
Silverbullet
Thank
00:24:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
For me, we had we had the one big 10-inch storm, and it was it was on a Saturday. Was it a Friday night or Saturday night It was on a weekend. We knew two of the big lots we do were going to be closed, so I let it accumulate.
00:24:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was an overnight storm. I wanted to see, like, all right, let's bulk out and see what this thing can do. The sheer volume of snow, that like, I wasn't trying to be clean.
00:24:37
Arctic Boys
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:24:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was trying to take as much snow possible and bulk that shit, and I was – it it might have actually been able to do more than a 13ld honestly with what just with the wings right out slightly angled it was amazing how much snow was at the end of that push going up and and i was also kind of shocked by how high you could actually stack it that that kind of cool i didn't expect it to ride up that high because when you're looking at the plow and the construction
00:24:53
Arctic Steve
Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:04
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Is
00:25:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
for whatever reason, i thought it was going you know, not have as much travel up when you went into a pile, but it stacks plenty high. It's, uh, it's pretty awesome.
00:25:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
It really caught me by surprise.
00:25:20
Arctic Boys
Yeah, they can take
00:25:20
RICK JAMES
his i
00:25:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
I knew it was going to be good. I didn't know how good though.
00:25:26
RICK JAMES
I still remember last year, Big Daddy, you guys one of your snowfalls you got. or you I think it's when you went up to Indianapolis or something. But he sent me a video of you guys stacking. I'm like, is there a loader there or what?
00:25:38
RICK JAMES
Because he was like, that pile was tall.
00:25:39
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
00:25:41
RICK JAMES
And he's like, no this is just me pushing with the razorback.
00:25:43
Arctic Boys
So,
00:25:44
RICK JAMES
And I was like, holy shit. couldn I couldn't hardly believe this how high he was going with that.
00:25:46
Arctic Boys
yeah.
00:25:49
Arctic Boys
Yeah, we asked the guy in loader to get out of our way because he had a non-arctic sectional pusher on the front of his loader and he was having issues getting traction because he's plowing six, eight inches of snow because it fell so fast.
00:25:50
RICK JAMES
was crazy.
00:26:02
Arctic Boys
And he basically just sat there and watched us start balking out this distribution center between four trucks.
00:26:05
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:26:08
Arctic Boys
And I remember, was it Nick that almost got his truck stuck in the pile because of how much snow he pushed up? The Razorback was missing. yeah it like take the front of the truck in the pile and the plow is completely in the pile you see the the snow deflux yeah people need to understand like the way we plow for content in video for people to see the plow being used and the way that we plow when we're actually stress testing the product is very different the reason we do that is we don't want people thinking like oh hey this is how we can treat this plow 24 7 and it'll be a-okay
00:26:17
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:26:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure. Amen.
00:26:40
Arctic Boys
That's why we film differently.
00:26:41
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:26:42
Arctic Boys
But when we're not filming for content, we're we're literally beating the shit out of the plow. That's our job. We want to see where the failure points can be because we don't want that to happen to the client.
00:26:48
RICK JAMES
Yep. yep
00:26:52
Arctic Boys
Oh, 100%.
00:26:52
Arctic Boys
So Nick, I think, almost got the truck stuck in the pile because he was pushing on it so hard.
00:26:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
<unk>
00:26:55
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:26:58
Arctic Boys
And then the plow pretty much just disappeared at that point. We did an Indiana V into it. Yeah. And he just, the pile, the wi guys the way that we hit the pile, all the snow that I had just pushed into him and then it just
00:27:12
Arctic Boys
how hard we hit that stuff, especially on the Razorback, like the R&B program, us being a part of it. But even in Orland, when you guys came up for storm chasing, that first area mall that we did, the plows there, we still do sometimes.
00:27:24
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:27:26
Arctic Boys
I mean, they'd be spray painted like demo on the back moldboard. And that just gave me assurance when was doing it. I was like, okay, I could beat the shit out of this thing and not be troubled by my dad or my brother. But it's like stuff like that.
00:27:36
RICK JAMES
I want me some R&D.
00:27:38
Arctic Boys
It's pretty fun to just go out there and be like, all right, try your absolute best to break this thing. I know we're the manufacturer.
00:27:46
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:27:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:27:47
Arctic Boys
like We're the manufacturer. I get it. And what people look at, like our opinion on products, but I don't want to go out and use a product I'm not happy with. And we're certainly not going to take that product and sell it.
00:27:58
Silverbullet
you.
00:27:59
Arctic Boys
So if I'm gonna go out and use a plow and I'm not happy with it, Blake knows that he's going to get the cliff notes in the storm on the radio.
00:28:08
Arctic Steve
Thank
00:28:08
Arctic Boys
We're going to have like a post storm meeting regarding that. We're going to have pretty idea of like the things people don't like within 10 or 15 minutes. We're snow guys. Yeah. And then we're going to just see how it develops through the night and then maybe see some, you know, longer term issues. But we get pretty quick idea of pretty quick, like pretty soon. And then we just, I mean, what I've learned over the years is just try to get a good design and just put as many hours on it as humanly possible.
00:28:35
Arctic Boys
Like you don't want to never release it because you're testing it for like, 10 years, but you want to put just a ton of dollars on it. You want to give it the next point to that is put it in the hands of people you don't normally work with and they don't work like you because you're going find out so many things that you'd ever thought about and they do differently or they're going to they're going to use it differently or they're going to have a different idea of its expectations.
00:28:41
Silverbullet
Just
00:28:41
Arctic Steve
Bye.
00:28:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%. Yep.
00:28:56
Arctic Boys
And you learn so much from that process. Yeah, I was going to just add on.
00:28:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
hundred percent
00:29:01
Arctic Boys
to your point that's the biggest thing most of the feedback we get is because of situations where people are plowing in different circumstances drive it in smaller properties different different things that we don't have a scope on And that's mostly the feedback that we're getting. I mean, I definitely agree with that.
00:29:15
Arctic Boys
Different markets get different types of snow, you know, and that's it. Some guys get all heavy wet lake effects. Some guys don't. Columbia gets cocaine.
00:29:23
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:29:26
Arctic Boys
All right. it's
00:29:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. So speaking of finding problems and stuff and issues, did anybody anybody have any in the hours you've used it so far? Anybody find anything they either didn't like or that was what you'd call a negative?
00:29:45
Arctic Boys
You're asking us or you're asking the panel?
00:29:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm asking the panel. Crickets. Crickets.
00:29:51
RICK JAMES
Be honest.
00:29:53
Arctic Steve
We had, you know, guys are posting on social media. We had a couple, couple hose fitting leaks. Um, like I posted on the snow site last night on snow plow mafia guy was asking what, what the feedback was on them. And we had a couple, couple little leaks, but no, no different than I have had on a blizzard plow or a Western plow or a hydraulic wing plow on a loader.
00:30:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
like ah Is it like a Loctite issue? or
00:30:16
Arctic Steve
I took mine off. I had a couple of hoses that were leaking. I think want to say two, but I was bored one day. So took them all off, cleaned them up, put a drop on each, will drop a blue on each one. i have not had a problem with that.
00:30:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh done.
00:30:28
Arctic Steve
There's been been some guys in the Minneapolis market that have reached out to me like, Hey, what do you do?
00:30:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:30:33
Arctic Steve
Told them do the same thing. They've been golden, you know?
00:30:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
We haven't had a single drop yet.
00:30:38
Arctic Steve
Sure. Sure.
00:30:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Um...
00:30:40
Silverbullet
Yeah, I've had, the last storm I had, I had one wing leaked, tightened it up.
00:30:51
Silverbullet
Then a couple hours later, the other side leaked. Same thing, and then went back and forth. But that's the only thing that I've ever had, I mean, that I've had go wrong with it, essentially. i mean,
00:31:08
Silverbullet
Last year there was no fucking issues at all. So, um...
00:31:12
Arctic Steve
Yeah, last year in the R&D one I had, I didn't have any issues. Like I said, this was just a couple of couple fittings and no
00:31:17
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
00:31:19
Arctic Steve
no different than, yeah.
00:31:19
RICK JAMES
One reason.
00:31:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
So tighten them up, lock tight, and problem solved?
00:31:23
Arctic Boys
Yeah, we have a...
00:31:24
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:31:24
RICK JAMES
one reason
00:31:25
Arctic Boys
We have an instructional video. Go ahead, Andy.
00:31:29
Silverbullet
The only thing I don't like about this year's plow is the control option to get it hooked up, because I thought that I did something wrong. So here I am, like, standing in front of it, trying to push power up to get it up.
00:31:38
Arctic Boys
Mm-hmm.
00:31:42
Arctic Steve
Yeah, where they put the... I'm sure you had Yes.
00:31:43
Silverbullet
And I'm like, there's got to be something wrong with this.
00:31:44
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:31:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
OK.
00:31:46
Silverbullet
And I called Jeremy.
00:31:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
ha
00:31:47
Silverbullet
He's like, oh, yeah, they did change that. Oh, last year.
00:31:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay. So from from last year's model to this year's model, there was a change and and i got it.
00:31:51
Arctic Steve
and i'm sure you
00:31:52
Silverbullet
Up and down.
00:31:52
Arctic Steve
i'm sure you guys had a
00:31:53
Silverbullet
we go.
00:31:56
Arctic Boys
Last year there was no hitching mode, which is kind of dangerous.
00:31:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:32:00
Arctic Boys
Yeah, no safety features last year. all So this goes are and ah you ki you could could come out to your paw and take it off like while it's on the truck.
00:32:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Ah.
00:32:02
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:32:02
Silverbullet
Yeah, that's more of my style. I can totally understand that.
00:32:05
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:32:11
Arctic Steve
yeah
00:32:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
god
00:32:11
Arctic Boys
Or someone could operate the plow while you're trying to hook it up.
00:32:11
Silverbullet
You take it off?
00:32:14
Arctic Boys
So there's no safety.
00:32:14
Silverbullet
oh
00:32:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:32:16
Arctic Boys
The big one for us is we had to make a hitching feature. We had to make a, not too complicated, but some sort of sequence that we didn't already use for other features of the plow.
00:32:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:32:25
Arctic Boys
That was pretty straightforward. And the main one is you go out to use the plow and you don't have like, know, my kid goes out with me, he doesn't grab the controller and hit left angle and crush you, right?
00:32:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah.
00:32:35
Arctic Boys
So I think it's going to be one of those things.
00:32:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah.
00:32:38
Arctic Boys
It's the first year out and it's just going to become, well, okay, well, this is just how you hitch a heartache.
00:32:43
Arctic Steve
yeah literally you you literally you take it on and off twice and you you got it, you know.
00:32:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:32:44
Arctic Boys
Yep.
00:32:47
Arctic Steve
You remember how to do it.
00:32:48
Silverbullet
Yeah, yeah.
00:32:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:32:49
Arctic Steve
and It was just the same thing.
00:32:49
Arctic Boys
Yep.
00:32:50
Arctic Steve
i was used I was used to the Andy, the bullet style, the first one, and then i got this and I'm like, I take this off?
00:32:55
Arctic Boys
yeah
00:32:55
Silverbullet
Well, yeah, yeah, me too.
00:32:55
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:32:57
Silverbullet
I was, I was like, God, what, what, what, what I do wrong here?
00:33:00
RICK JAMES
Yeah. He calls me. He's like, oh, I had to push it on. i'm like, well, there's a sequence you got to do. Oh, shit.
00:33:04
Silverbullet
Right.
00:33:05
RICK JAMES
I didn't know that.
00:33:06
Arctic Boys
yeah
00:33:06
RICK JAMES
i was like, oh.
00:33:06
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:33:06
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:33:07
Arctic Boys
Well, we got video for that.
00:33:07
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:33:07
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:33:08
Arctic Boys
Yeah, that's on the side of the website.
00:33:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
They got a video now.
00:33:12
Arctic Boys
We got a video for hoses, for guys that have constant leads. The thing that we don't want people to do is put two wrenches on it and wrench on it as hard as possible because that's going to lead to material issues.
00:33:24
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:33:26
Arctic Steve
Yep. yep
00:33:26
Arctic Boys
but We have a video out of what guys need to do with that. Shows you how to loosen the nut on the hose. Keep you could keep pressure on it. So no flu comes out.
00:33:36
Arctic Boys
Hit it with some brake cleaner, dry it off real quick, put on some Loctite, throw it back on, tighten it. And after we got that video out and that information to people, we haven't heard many issues. yeah If anything is going to come, I mean, we get some stuff in a, some like from us to come from the factory.
00:33:52
Arctic Boys
Um, we, ah all the plows get tested. Uh, we do a functional test on test bench. So it's angling the plows, lifting up, it's down pressuring. And then we're testing the wing functions and the pressure relief on the wings.
00:34:03
Arctic Boys
And then once they're okay and there's no leaks or anything, everything works. Then it gets checked off, um, for it gets signed off for crating.
00:34:07
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
00:34:11
Arctic Boys
But stuff happens between that plow being crated and it making its way halfway across country, and then it can put on someone's plow, and then you start plowing with it, things start moving around. You can get some stuff loosening there or maybe some stuff that maybe it was just good enough in our test, and then once it moves, it loosens up.
00:34:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure. Mm-hmm.
00:34:28
Arctic Boys
The main one I'd say is wing fittings. The wing does a lot of moving that you actually don't realize that a lot of other plows, they don't have that because they're not really – they don't have a floating wing function like we do. Yeah,
00:34:41
Arctic Boys
um And so so you just got to keep an eye on them. But yeah, once i I did the Loctite on mine, Lucas had a loose fitting earlier this year and I had one last year when we were filming the episode for Storm Chasing.
00:34:52
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
00:34:54
RICK JAMES
Start chasing me up.
00:34:55
Arctic Boys
And that's as much as we've ran into, they're both right fittings on our plows. And then I just Loctited the one that's on my plow um for the sake of doing the instructional video and I haven't ran into any issues, right?
00:35:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha. Sure. Yep.
00:35:08
Arctic Boys
But i would say, you know, just like anything, you're going to want like a car, you check the oil, you check the brakes, just look it over. We have some people that look over this stuff after every storm, they catch stuff, they they maintain it. And then there's some people that maybe let it grow into an issue where there's maybe a gastroenterologist or something. Right. So you want to just look over your shit. Right.
00:35:30
Arctic Boys
Yeah. I did see one comment a guy made about the reservoir being a pain in the ass to get fluid into. But on the reservoir, you can just take a flathead screwdriver, loosen the clamp, tilt it forward, yeah make your dump the oil in, and then just put it back and tighten it.
00:35:37
RICK JAMES
Yes. Yep.
00:35:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Tilt it. Yeah.
00:35:43
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:35:43
RICK JAMES
yep
00:35:46
Arctic Boys
Or just get a bendy funnel. we we should probably It's simple stuff like that that you don't know. you know Everyone in my company, we've taught them how to do it. And then you give to other people like, well, how do I put food in it?
00:35:57
Arctic Boys
Okay, well, that's what you learn by distributing it, right? So we we'll make we're making videos as we go.
00:36:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. 100%. percent
00:36:04
Arctic Boys
what What is it that people need help with? Like we have a video on making sure that your gap shield on your mold boards on the right side. Like of to us, that that would be obvious.
00:36:15
Arctic Boys
That keeps snow from coming behind the mold board from the wing. But some people are having issues. They plow and they put their mold boards on the wrong sides and it's just pouring snow in between the wing and the cutting edge of the moldboard.
00:36:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, interesting.
00:36:27
Arctic Steve
Sure.
00:36:28
Arctic Boys
Just because those parts are swapped and they didn't know what to look for.
00:36:30
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:36:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:36:31
Arctic Boys
Right. It's a lot of things that just don't assume that they know it. Right. So we're figuring out things as we go, where we can help and how we can just inform people. This is the kind of same stuff that people ran into when we first came out with this sectional back in 08.
00:36:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Amen.
00:36:44
Arctic Boys
It's just it's a new product. There's a new you know, there's a whole new way to go about with ownership.
00:36:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure. Learning curve.
00:36:50
Arctic Boys
So I will say though, just from the feedback we've got so far from end users and just the industry within Snow as a whole, we're pretty thankful for not only level of patience, but first impressions,
00:37:03
Arctic Boys
feedback that people have been giving us, obviously with new products coming out, what these guys all just said is true, but we're, we're thankful we have a fan base and end user base that is understanding of these things and rather talk badly about the product. They're either reaching out to us personally or they're making it informative to the point where like, okay, now we understand little bit more.
00:37:25
Arctic Boys
Yeah. There's a a good culture around that product.
00:37:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:37:27
Arctic Boys
Yeah. There's a good,
00:37:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
And you guys don't mind. That's one thing I've always said to people like, let um let Arctic know, let them know if you don't like something, they want to hear that kind of stuff. They're not going to say, oh, fuck off. They actually want that kind of feedback. It helps them, you know, determine what needs to be done next or if they can make any improvements.
00:37:46
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:37:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
So I love that.
00:37:46
Arctic Boys
the fight The funny part, too, of it is like someone will have an issue. They get they get in contact with us. And then the the one thing they always say was like, yeah, I know we've had an issue with this, but honestly, the plow works so damn well and it performs so well that we don't care.
00:38:01
Arctic Boys
Like, let's just get past this issue. Let's get it fixed because they're very happy with the experience. Again, i know I'm the manufacturer saying that,
00:38:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, I would echo that.
00:38:08
Arctic Boys
like
00:38:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
I would definitely echo that.
00:38:10
Arctic Steve
No, I'd agree with that.
00:38:10
Arctic Boys
and that just
00:38:11
Arctic Boys
but that's what people are telling us.
00:38:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
i i
00:38:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
I haven't lost a drop of hydraulic fluid in 53 hours, so I'll give Mark a gold star on that, that he's got the hoses on right. and ah But I will say, i don't give a shit if I have to tighten every hose every eight hours.
00:38:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
the I'm still using that freaking thing.
00:38:26
Arctic Boys
Oh, boy. oh boy
00:38:29
RICK JAMES
That's because you you got the glory hole.
00:38:30
Arctic Steve
Hey, hey, Jeremy, Jeremy, you you tape that, right?
00:38:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
works.
00:38:35
Arctic Steve
We'll get that voice.
00:38:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
it worked
00:38:36
RICK JAMES
Yeah, we'll get that.
00:38:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
that good it worked save it i've said dumber shit
00:38:37
RICK JAMES
We'll get that.
00:38:37
Arctic Boys
<unk>
00:38:37
RICK JAMES
ah Record that.
00:38:38
Arctic Steve
saving I'm saving that in my phone right now, Velarde.
00:38:39
RICK JAMES
but
00:38:42
RICK JAMES
But so you guys got all these videos out.
00:38:44
Silverbullet
Yes.
00:38:45
RICK JAMES
We're going to guys reach out and find these videos since we're talking about them.
00:38:48
Arctic Boys
Yeah, so all these videos are on our Arctic Products website. So arcticstoneiseproducts.com. Just scroll through the top dashboard dropdown in products and go to product support.
00:39:02
Arctic Boys
And then it's pretty simple from there. You just scroll over to the Razorback logo and you're going to see you know Razorback wing retrofit kit, line items, manual, stuff like that. then if you go to the far right, the Razorback full kit shows all these different how to installation videos, stuff like that, uh, informative videos. And then on the very bottom, which I think might be super informative for end users is a plow controller tip sheet.
00:39:26
Arctic Boys
Um, so if they are interested in learning all the different features that you can do within the controller, like Andy said, he he forgot a certain part of it. It was different.
00:39:34
Silverbullet
I just, yeah.
00:39:35
Arctic Boys
Um, Blake and the engineering team came up with that and we made sure to put that on the site as well.
00:39:35
Silverbullet
Yeah.
00:39:39
Arctic Boys
Yeah. We also have a, we're constantly working on a behind the scenes, um, Proofing, editing, and improving material, and we add it as we go. But we have a quick user guide coming pretty soon, which is going to be pretty much, here's the plow.
00:39:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
nice
00:39:57
Arctic Boys
Here's how you use it start to finish. Here's how you should use it in the field. Here's how you should maintain it. Here's what you should look for. ah Stuff like that.
00:40:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
very cool love it
00:40:03
Arctic Boys
That's going to be on there pretty soon. know we're late to the game with it. But we're getting it out there and and we're also taking a lot of feedback from the field now that we have so many of these and we get people asking us questions.
00:40:13
Silverbullet
So,
00:40:18
Arctic Boys
Well, those questions are things that we get to put into this. Yeah, it changes the whole input of the...
00:40:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sure.
00:40:22
Arctic Boys
We we get we've also, now that we've seen so many, we've been we've built so many.
00:40:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:40:27
Arctic Boys
You know, not every one of them makes it from assembly to the crate perfectly. It gets, sometimes it gets red tag, it gets put aside and engineering has to come look at it.
00:40:34
Arctic Steve
Okay.
00:40:36
Arctic Boys
We've recorded every issue we've ever had that engineering has to get involved. So I could look at a list and say, what's the issue?
00:40:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:40:40
RICK JAMES
Thank you.
00:40:44
Arctic Boys
oh the plot won't float. Look at this valve. Right. Or what's the issue? The plow goes up to put it on, but it floats back down. Look at this foul or at the plow only angles left.
00:40:52
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:40:55
Arctic Boys
every Like it we have a we're accumulating issues that we're catching before they get to the field in the manufacturing process. And we get to take that information and we now get to put it into a guide that people can use to help diagnose.
00:41:09
Arctic Boys
Right.
00:41:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:41:11
RICK JAMES
That's
00:41:11
Arctic Boys
So that will be a resource coming pretty soon, and that's going be actively updated.
00:41:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Love it.
00:41:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sweet.
00:41:16
RICK JAMES
great.
00:41:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
That'll definitely help.
00:41:17
RICK JAMES
Steve-O.
00:41:18
Arctic Boys
Because like usual, we realize that shit goes wrong, right?
00:41:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
User Satisfaction and Customer Service
00:41:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:41:21
Arctic Boys
So me ignoring it does nothing but me gathering all the times we've had issues, ah whether or not it's our fault. Like it can help people looking for an issue down the road.
00:41:32
Arctic Boys
There's a constructive group effort within... our side of the business, our end users, people within the industry to make the product successful beyond just getting them shipped out and quality control.
00:41:44
Arctic Boys
Oh, trust me. it airs bad way If there is issue with the plow, my phone hears about it.
00:41:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%. I'm sure.
00:41:48
Arctic Steve
Awesome.
00:41:50
Arctic Boys
I hear about Trust me.
00:41:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
hol surere
00:41:52
Arctic Boys
Yeah. And there is a very quick effort to help resolve it.
00:41:53
Silverbullet
You guys fix it right away. mean
00:41:56
Arctic Boys
On top of that too, that helps. the social media response we get, if there is an issue with someone and it pops up on social media, it slowly makes its way through the company until someone can help resolve.
00:42:08
Arctic Boys
And it will make its way to Johnny, to Lucas, to me. lot of hands touching. Yeah, it will escalate, right? We're very responsive. Yeah, we enjoy it too. I enjoy getting my phone calls from Steve when he's out plowing and stuff.
00:42:22
Arctic Boys
I know you've been, Vlardi, I know you've been dying to use it. So I remember when you said, hey, looks like me, Micah, by my phone all night just waiting for it.
00:42:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, I was, I think I called all three and it just to say, congratulations, you guys hit a home run.
00:42:34
Arctic Boys
I really appreciate
00:42:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:42:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
was fucking awesome.
00:42:38
RICK JAMES
So no negatives, Steve, no negatives, no negatives besides that hole you want in there.
00:42:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
What?
00:42:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that I don't, yeah, that I don't, ah there is a negative that I don't have fucking three of them.
00:42:44
Silverbullet
Hello.
00:42:44
Arctic Boys
that.
00:42:45
Arctic Boys
Hey, that's an
00:42:49
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:42:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's the negative.
00:42:50
Arctic Boys
option.
00:42:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:42:51
Arctic Boys
That's also an option. That is an option.
00:42:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
but
00:42:54
Arctic Boys
Yeah, it's buy one.
00:42:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:42:55
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:42:57
Arctic Boys
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:42:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
er
00:42:58
Arctic Boys
It's a buy three, get three.
00:43:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Dude, I'll tell you, it's no shit.
00:43:01
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
00:43:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, I've been trying to quantify it, like, put a legit number on it for you guys. Like, because I know you guys know, but for me, I was trying to figure out how much more efficient. i don't I don't like truck plowing. We try not to do that. We're trying to do all machines. I haven't gotten out of my truck yet this winter.
00:43:20
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
00:43:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
with this thing on it it's like plowing that plow makes my truck like a faster more maneuverable much more comfortable with a command center 321 with a 13 ld that's what i i'd equate it to it it's it's really i mean it's it's unbelievable and i i'm gonna basically say i don't i don't have the number but it's at least 30 percent more productive that it makes your truck than with any other plow out there
00:43:31
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:43:31
Arctic Boys
Great way to put it yeah
00:43:33
RICK JAMES
Yeah. Yeah.
00:43:45
Arctic Boys
it. Okay.
00:43:49
Arctic Steve
Than at any other conventional plow.
00:43:49
RICK JAMES
I believe that.
00:43:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
100%, 100%.
00:43:51
RICK JAMES
I believe that.
00:43:51
Arctic Steve
I agree with that.
00:43:52
Arctic Boys
Is that...
00:43:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just comparing it to our Western at least
00:43:58
Arctic Boys
that for
00:43:58
RICK JAMES
You're not giving...
00:43:59
Arctic Boys
that efficiency, like, is that a time deficiency?
00:44:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's time, absolutely, 100% time, and it's also the scrape. So that one lot that I was talking about, the test lot that we were we were using it, normally that's a two-truck lot, and they they're there about an hour and 15 minutes.
00:44:08
Arctic Boys
Yep.
00:44:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
um The second truck was not there. I said, hey, give me time. I'm going to mess with this lot.
00:44:23
Arctic Boys
Thank you.
00:44:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
I'm going to do a lot of this lot. I said, give me like 20 minutes, and you can come in for the second half, and we'll we'll just you know we'll tag team the second half of it.
00:44:28
Silverbullet
Okay.
00:44:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
I was like on my last three passes when Matt showed up and he's like, holy shit, how did you do this so fast? And Eric's like, this thing moves some serious freaking snow.
00:44:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
He was my, he was in riding shotgun.
00:44:44
RICK JAMES
know
00:44:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
And he's like, I can't believe how much snow we're moving with this when compared with the nine, six V's on the, on the It's not terrible.
00:44:53
Arctic Steve
And just like you like you said, Steve, just the scrape, the clean the cleanliness once you you make your pass, you know.
00:44:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
it's arable
00:45:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Even when you're pushing nine inches, it's still scraping down to black.
00:45:01
RICK JAMES
That's a concern.
00:45:05
Arctic Steve
That's the big thing with me.
00:45:05
RICK JAMES
ah seven
00:45:06
Arctic Steve
Like I said, like when you're going into a loading dock or back dragging or whatever, it's like you're you're doing it one and done. You're not having to keep going back over that same thing.
00:45:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, there's no going back.
00:45:14
Arctic Steve
you do your one and you're done and you're on to the next. that's what's That's what's the big impressive thing.
00:45:17
RICK JAMES
Wow.
00:45:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
You know what I've noticed that?
00:45:19
RICK JAMES
That's a conservative number, Steve. That's not like another company's three to one bullshit. They always like to say that's a conservative number you gave there.
00:45:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
30%? 30% is huge.
00:45:28
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:45:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
that's i mean that's And I'm being conservative.
00:45:31
RICK JAMES
i know um um I know what you're saying. I'm just i'm just saying.
00:45:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's probably it's probably closer to 40% time savings and efficiency, but 30% is massive. The only downside, actually, I did did just think of a negative.
00:45:44
RICK JAMES
boy.
00:45:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
So, no, no, that this is legit.
00:45:46
RICK JAMES
Hold on boys. Hold on.
00:45:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
it's It's a legit problem, but it's kind of funny. I got a call that there's blue and yellow ah speckles from the lines.
00:45:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
It scrapes so clean, it's taking the handicap, the handicap striping.
00:46:04
Arctic Steve
The painted lines off.
00:46:05
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, painted lines. It's taking paint.
00:46:08
Arctic Boys
we've We've come full circle then because i remember when my dad first started prototyping the sectional stoke pusher, the degree of attack on the moldboard angle was a lot higher on those original plows.
00:46:20
Arctic Boys
And that was like one of the first things he noticed is it scraped so good that the parking lines and the stripes were coming off the parking lot. So I'm glad that 20 year anniversary this year, we've come back full circle.
00:46:27
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:46:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, there's little blue.
00:46:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
And when the piles would freeze and stuff, you would if you went back, you would see like blue speckles and yellow speckles in some of the piles.
00:46:39
Arctic Boys
So what you're saying is plow snow in the winter and get into the striping business in the spring.
00:46:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it does.
00:46:44
Arctic Boys
There you go
00:46:44
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:46:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely.
00:46:44
Silverbullet
right.
00:46:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Sealing and striping is the way to go.
00:46:46
Arctic Boys
that'
00:46:46
Arctic Steve
Spencer, did you say 20 years this year the 20-year anniversary?
00:46:51
Arctic Boys
go. 20 years of the product site. So the removal sites, almost half a century now, 49 years.
00:46:57
Arctic Steve
Okay. i just I just remember being down in Louisville, Kentucky for Syma when you guys were debuting it. and john and Johnny and then we're down there. This is obviously way back, 2000, whatever it was.
00:47:08
Arctic Boys
2006, I think. was Well, 2006 was our first year after we separated created separate company. Yeah.
00:47:14
Arctic Steve
Yeah. So whenever you guys were in Louisville, debut in it at Simon, when the product kind of went to market, it's like I was with my boss back then. I'm like, we got, we got to have one of these things. And obviously it was more, you know, they were more expensive than a a rubber edge, you know, what we were using then, but we got one and it was like, that was a game changer.
00:47:31
Arctic Steve
And we start switching over very, very quickly after that.
00:47:32
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:47:34
Arctic Steve
but
00:47:34
The SnowJobs Podcast
And it's pronounced Louisville.
00:47:36
Arctic Steve
Louisville.
00:47:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got schooled Louisville Louisville.
00:47:37
Arctic Boys
never bill
00:47:38
RICK JAMES
Louisville. It's called Louisville. We learned that at White Castle.
00:47:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. We learned that at White Castle drive through.
00:47:43
RICK JAMES
yeah Yes, we did.
00:47:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
She's like, what are you saying?
00:47:43
Arctic Steve
Thank
00:47:44
RICK JAMES
yes
00:47:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
I don't understand what you're saying. I don't understand that. What Louisville? That's how you say it.
00:47:49
RICK JAMES
Louisville. Louisville.
00:47:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Louisville.
00:47:50
RICK JAMES
Louisville.
00:47:53
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:47:54
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
00:47:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
We got schooled.
00:47:55
RICK JAMES
That stuff was gross.
00:47:56
Arctic Boys
It's weird. It's gone by fast, Steve,
Arctic's Innovation Journey
00:47:59
Arctic Boys
and Smythe, I should say. Arctic Steve. I'll say Arctic Steve.
00:48:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
There we go.
00:48:02
Arctic Boys
But you brought up a good point.
00:48:02
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:48:03
Arctic Boys
is you know You said your first impression was the the pricing of the sectional when you first saw it being more than your typical box pusher, rubber edge. That is what we're trying to accomplish in certain aspect is we want to create an own class of innovation.
00:48:19
Arctic Boys
We tried doing it with the pusher.
00:48:19
Arctic Steve
here Yeah, you you look at like social media, it's one of the, get you know, the posts, it's a lot of the guys that have never ran one or they've saw it maybe in the magazine or whatever, but they they'll bring up, hey, this thing's expensive.
00:48:20
Arctic Boys
It worked out great. We're trying to accomplish the same thing for the truck market. Obviously, these guys are doing it over the past five years and introducing it the way that we have. We feel like we've accomplished a good amount of that.
00:48:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nope.
00:48:42
Arctic Steve
And it's it's not, you know, it's not really for for what it does.
00:48:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
no
00:48:47
Arctic Boys
it's hard to compare it to something else.
00:48:47
Arctic Steve
It's like you can go buy an F-150 pickup or you can buy ah ah a F-350. You know, what's going to be a better plow vehicle, right? You're going to pay a lot less for that F-150. It's going to do half of what that F-350 can do as well, right? So it's just that's the way I've always looked at it. you're not pay it's not It's not expensive. It's the price.
00:49:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
If you're buying...
00:49:07
Arctic Steve
you're paying for you're paying You're buying quality. You're but you're buying something that's going to be efficient. You're going to do one pass.
00:49:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well...
00:49:13
Arctic Steve
You're on to the next, right?
00:49:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
If you're buying a 9'6 MVP3, you're paying $10,000 for it.
00:49:22
Arctic Steve
Yeah, at least, right?
00:49:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
So if these are what's...
00:49:25
Silverbullet
Thank you.
00:49:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
do I can't quote the price. What what what are what are they selling for? $16,000?
00:49:31
Arctic Boys
16. Mid to high 16.
00:49:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Somewhere in there?
00:49:32
Arctic Boys
That's all inclusive. Lewisville.
00:49:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
um Okay. So... I will tell you, if you have an average 30-inch market or better, you will make up in efficiency that extra money in half a season.
00:49:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
with what you're I'm flying through lots in no time.
00:49:48
Arctic Steve
And we'll... Well, We'll go back to back in 2008 or whenever, when we were in louis Louisville or however you say it.
00:49:52
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:49:56
Arctic Steve
um
00:49:56
RICK JAMES
Yep. Yep.
00:49:57
Arctic Boys
over
00:49:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Louisville, Louisville.
00:49:58
Arctic Steve
one One of the, one of the big, big, hu big push on the, art on the sectional, on the, on the loader plow was the salt savings.
00:49:59
Arctic Boys
um but
00:50:00
Silverbullet
you
00:50:04
Arctic Steve
Right. And you kind of look at it and you if you never ran one, you're kind of like, Oh, is, is it that, you know, but once you actually start using these things, it's the same thing with the truck. You know, if the, if a guy doesn't have a loader,
00:50:15
Arctic Boys
Thank you.
00:50:15
Arctic Steve
And maybe he's a, you know, he's a one man operation and he's got a pickup and he puts this on there and he's he's got ah maybe a tailgate salt or something. The the savings he's going to do alone just on material. Obviously now we're talking everywhere across the country, there's salt shortages too, right?
00:50:29
Arctic Steve
So it's like these things scrape so clean and, and guys, guys hear that.
00:50:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's insane.
00:50:35
Arctic Steve
They're always, you know, bullshit, bullshit. I, Hey, look, man, I've ran it for 20 years now, right?
00:50:37
RICK JAMES
Yeah. yeah
00:50:40
Arctic Steve
If it's gonna be 20 years this year and they do scrape that clean, right? And I got nothing to gain by by saying that. Right. I'm just saying it because I use them. They're they're unbelievable.
00:50:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
They're insane. 100%.
00:50:50
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:50:50
Arctic Boys
Yeah, we appreciate that. I think the biggest thing to touch down is the product speaks for itself. I mean, we've tried to market it so people can understand it differently.
00:50:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
hundred percent
00:50:56
Arctic Steve
percent. Yep.
00:51:00
Arctic Boys
But anyway, you pitch it. It's just until people get into it at demos that like trade shows, equip expo, we've been doing demos and people can get in the truck until they actually get to get their hands on the product and use it in that manner.
00:51:14
Arctic Boys
Until then, they don't truly understand the benefit that you guys have seen so far.
00:51:19
RICK JAMES
you You have to use it.
00:51:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
I've had a couple of guys pull into the parking lot as I'm plowing.
00:51:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cause they're like, what the hell is that?
00:51:25
Arctic Steve
And that's that's a big thing, like you said, Spencer.
00:51:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Like, Holy crap.
00:51:27
Arctic Steve
It's like you can look at all this equipment at Syma on the trade show floor and stuff and see some demos of hitting some curbs or, you know, different different products out there.
00:51:32
Arctic Boys
Thank you.
00:51:35
Arctic Steve
But until you actually see this thing, and I've had guys this year jump in my pickup, you know, and we'll be out on a site and, hey, jump in and try it out or whatever, and they're just like blown away with it.
00:51:45
Arctic Boys
you remember that about
00:51:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:51:46
RICK JAMES
You have to.
00:51:47
Arctic Boys
remember that guy equipped when we had the full kit R&D there, that was last year, not this one, two clips ago. 24. Yeah. He was the mechanic for that company and you went over the block and his face, like you thought this guy broke his neck. He looked at Blake. He's like, you actually just hit those parking blocks.
00:52:05
Arctic Boys
Cause we bolted him into the ground at the demo and he was so taken back.
00:52:07
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:52:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. yep
00:52:09
Arctic Boys
He thought that we like put him in a hypnosis or something.
00:52:11
Arctic Steve
and You guys had that back in like, Oh wait, you you were doing a live demonstration down at Simon.
00:52:12
Arctic Boys
It was. Yeah.
00:52:16
Arctic Steve
It was a, it was some, I i don't even remember where it was like the day before the show started and they were hitting concrete, you know, curbs or whatever.
00:52:22
Arctic Boys
Mm-hmm.
00:52:24
Arctic Steve
And that's, we were looking at that going, man, how many concrete curbs or or sections like that we've had to replace or put back in. And now this thing goes over it.
00:52:30
RICK JAMES
Yup.
00:52:31
Arctic Steve
And that was kind of my selling point to my boss back then. It's just like, let's try one just for that reason. And then, We start figuring out, hey, this thing scrapes so much better than our market up here in Minnesota. It's cold.
00:52:43
Arctic Steve
So we deal with so much hard pack up here um compared to a rubber edge, right?
00:52:46
RICK JAMES
Yup.
00:52:49
Arctic Steve
Rubber edge squeegees it. You know, it's like spreading frosting on a cake. And these things were cutting so clean. And, you know, throw it 20 years later on a pickup truck, you know?
00:52:56
RICK JAMES
There's no better, there's no better.
00:52:59
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:52:59
RICK JAMES
you got You get that good feeling when you're breaking up hardback. You're just getting the big chunks in front of you.
00:53:03
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:53:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, you can feel it.
00:53:04
RICK JAMES
You just get a good...
00:53:05
Arctic Steve
we were we were we were just down We were just down in the yard yesterday just doing some – playing around with some of the guys from Storm, you know, in the parking lot.
00:53:05
RICK JAMES
you you just
00:53:09
RICK JAMES
Satisfaction.
00:53:12
Arctic Steve
We had some so ice that's been on there for ages, and we threw ah threw a sectional on one of the loaders there.
00:53:13
Silverbullet
Yeah, I used
00:53:18
Arctic Steve
and Yeah.
00:53:20
Arctic Boys
Yeah, the durability of the sectional, we try to transfer it over to the Razorback.
00:53:21
RICK JAMES
compare it?
00:53:21
Arctic Steve
It's crazy.
00:53:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
We want to...
00:53:26
Arctic Boys
So I'm trying to make it tech technology technologically speaking as durable as other the other products that we're pushing in the market.
00:53:31
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:53:32
Arctic Boys
currently makingcon It is funny though, the certain comments that we get on social media, people that are rage baiting or just can't stand the videos that we're posting, it gets to the point where We'll literally have people comment like, oh, yeah, wait till you hit a building.
00:53:47
Arctic Boys
like Wait till you run over a fire hydrant. We got one. No shit, yeah. Let's go hit a building with our truck.
00:53:54
RICK JAMES
Jesus Christ.
00:53:55
Arctic Boys
It is like the best thing ever. We have a group chat. Instantly when someone comments like that, it is getting sent to a distance. That's going to be a thing now. Everyone's going to go to social media and be like, we'll just hit a building.
00:54:06
Arctic Boys

The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh
00:54:17
RICK JAMES
Yeah, that's stupid.
00:54:17
Arctic Boys
few of us, I think we put the plow, like the one wheel of the truck on the curb, and then we kind of cleaned the curb and the parking lot at the same time.
00:54:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep, love that Yeah, yeah, you got me there i Guess you got me there
00:54:25
RICK JAMES

00:56:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Down pressure?
00:56:06
Arctic Steve
Yeah, the the down pressure Stevo has been it's been awesome.
00:56:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go.
00:56:10
Arctic Steve
We did a little little comparison. um The guy was plowing and with a competitor's plow that had down pressure next to me. And we were kind of just side by side playing around.
00:56:21
Arctic Steve
But then I looked over and like, hey, man, you got your plow shoes still on. I don't know why he had his plow shoes on.
00:56:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah jesus
00:56:26
Arctic Steve
So we we got those off and tried it and we still blew them away. So that's a
00:56:30

00:57:12
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:57:12
Arctic Steve
That's a brand new pickup. Yeah.
00:57:14
Arctic Boys
That's what Steric was telling me, or Big Daddy. That's what he was saying. It was like brand new.
00:57:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
The real big daddy.
00:57:19
Silverbullet
Okay.
00:57:19
Arctic Boys
There's many Big Daddies right now. I'm starting to get confused.
00:57:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
There's too many big daddies.
00:57:22
Arctic Boys
That's why it's called Big Daddy Daddy.
00:57:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:57:23
RICK JAMES
There's only one big daddy. There's only one big daddy.
00:57:27
Arctic Steve
But the back the the down pressure with the back dragging, you get into loading docks or whatever if you're running these things out on commercial. i mean, the other thing is is had a I had a guy looking at it. he's He's got some residentials that they do. Not a lot, but he does them in – There's a lot of guys that do residentials and pickups, you know, still in the back dragging with these things is nominal.
00:57:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
yep
00:57:46
Arctic Steve
It's like it's like we said, Steve, it's one one pass. You're done versus multiple back and forth.
00:57:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
yeah
00:57:51
Arctic Steve
You know, you don't need an extra back drag bar on the plow that just makes the plow rise anyway. This the sticks to the ground and scrapes. It's a no brainer.
00:57:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
the down the down pressure definitely i mean it definitely is awesome in both directions but where it really shines for me i expect an arctic to scrape clean going going forwards and but i've never had a truck plow that's back dragged like that
00:58:14
Arctic Steve
Yeah.
00:58:14
RICK JAMES
Right.
00:58:14
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:58:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
without having to do the old push forward, you know, cut going forward, lift up, and then drag it out.
00:58:17
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:58:17
Arctic Boys

00:58:47
Arctic Steve
are pretty much commercial plowing guys.
00:58:47
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:58:49
Arctic Steve
But for residential guys, these things for doing HOAs, if they're doing pickups and HOAs or condominiums or apartments or whatever, they're they're unbelievable.
00:58:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
The coolest thing about the down pressure um is with the thresholds. The entry, with you know, ah the parking lots are usually designed, you know, that they have a dip there to channel the water.
00:59:09
Arctic Steve
Yep.
00:59:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
When you go in and that plow is down with down pressure or you're coming out, it doesn't matter the dip, the attack angle, that plow stays contoured the entire time.

Arctic Boys
dead enough
00:59:22
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:59:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's a conventional plow, but it comes up and it does not scrape that whole apron area clean.

00:59:41
Arctic Steve
one One of the big things too is like guys that are doing apartment buildings and stuff where they have to come back maybe several days later for their scheduled cleanups. And in those several days, these people are driving over packing this stuff down in many Minneapolis for, you know, it's where I plow.

RICK JAMES
breaking.
01:00:09
Arctic Steve
It's,
01:00:10
Arctic Boys
Well, the nice thing, too, is you're not going to have the plow beating the hell out of you when it trips on that curb that curb line, that break where you're going from the pavement of the parking lot to the next surface.
01:00:11
Arctic Steve
It's on Google. Yep.

01:02:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
I believe it. No, I believe it.

01:02:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go.
01:02:42
Arctic Boys

01:02:45
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:02:46
RICK JAMES
That's awesome.
01:02:50
Arctic Boys

Doing different initiatives internally, stuff like a dealer portal. We're spending a lot of time rolling out a dealer portal within next year. Our dealers will start to get involved in that in a rollout phase.

The SnowJobs Podcast
There you got you got ballast.
01:05:12
Arctic Boys

01:05:16
Silverbullet
I mean, yeah, it's not like the Arctic panelist kid, but like, yeah.
01:05:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think that's what they're asking about.
01:05:20
RICK JAMES

01:05:23
Silverbullet

01:05:29

Truck Compatibility for Razorbacks
01:05:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
kit.
01:05:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
um
01:05:32
Arctic Boys
All at once?
01:05:32
The SnowJobs Podcast
That is What's that?
01:05:34
Arctic Boys
It's like really heavy. Oh my god, dude.
01:05:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it's...
01:05:39
Arctic Boys
Wow, Blake.
01:05:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Let me tell you, the hardest part is getting it off the damn palate because it it comes with all the weight on it.
01:05:45
Arctic Boys
right now. yeah
01:05:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
but It's very simple, very simple. um Awesome. And it actually makes a ah very handy step up into the bed, onto the bumper. um It's ah it's very easy to slide the plates on and off the the pins hold it.
01:06:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
And yeah, I mean, the truck rides really nice with it. So I think, ah again, I think you guys nailed the nailed the counterweight kit on that for guys that don't put a spreader in the back.
01:06:12
Arctic Boys
Did you get a chance to to plow with the Razorback with and without the ballast?
01:06:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
No, just with it.
01:06:19
Arctic Boys
So you you've just, okay.
01:06:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I didn't get the chance. I was told i was told not to. big daddy Big Daddy told me, get ballast in the truck.
01:06:26
Arctic Boys
Well, just,
01:06:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Don't plow without it.
01:06:30
Arctic Boys
yeah. Once you plow with proper ballast, whether it's just an 8-6 straight or R plow, you just can't go back. Everything just feels normal.
01:06:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.
01:06:41
Arctic Boys
it's just it's the big i'll take uh i'll take proper balance on my truck over good snow tires and i'll almost never say that about fire and just yeah
01:06:44
RICK JAMES
I've never plowed with it.
01:06:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. I agree.
01:06:51
Arctic Steve
Okay.
01:06:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
01:06:53
RICK JAMES
I've,
01:06:54
Arctic Boys
i mean we were just taken back by the amount of interest into it, right? Just year over year. no i mean we never We never made it to sell it. We made it for ourselves for filming because it made it easy not to have anything in the bed of the truck. It was convenient.
01:07:07
Arctic Boys
And then then people started last yeah people started asking about it. It was in that one video that was that's from Stan. Yeah. Oh, for...
01:07:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
It was painted red. Yeah, it was painted red.
01:07:14
Arctic Boys
for
01:07:15
Silverbullet
Thank you.
01:07:16
Arctic Boys
We didn't want to do anything wrong. So for the video, we for the test weight kits, we painted them red to comply with like Illinois code. If it sticks out more than like six inches from the back of the hitch, it has to be a high vis. So he's made it red.
01:07:33
Arctic Boys
And that really made people see it in all the videos. And it was just there for us, like, That truck is, that was my old engineering truck when I'm out. Jeff Bays has it. Lucky bastard. Sorry, Jeff.
01:07:44
RICK JAMES
fair
01:07:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
01:07:45
Arctic Boys
But it's, it really, i had a deck just like you, Arctic Steve, and it was full stuff, so I couldn't put like sandbags in the back like usual.
01:07:46
Arctic Steve
Thank
01:07:56
Arctic Boys
Cause I had all my tools on my spare parts. Um, so we just created, I'm like, well, someone for sure has like a balance kit. Like how could you not? It's so easy.
01:08:03
Silverbullet
Thank you.
01:08:04
Arctic Boys
and we couldn't find anything. And then, well, we just made it and now we sell
01:08:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it's great. And you can adjust it very easily. If you're finding like, you know, you we didn't put all the plates on.
01:08:12
Arctic Boys
Yeah.
01:08:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
we i think we still had six or seven ah that we left off.
01:08:22
Arctic Boys
Mm-hmm.
01:08:24
The SnowJobs Podcast
And we said, you know, we were just messing around like, okay, let's adjust it.
01:08:25
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
01:08:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
So we'd put them on, we'd take them off. And we found that, you know, it's it's really like, you're right. It totally changes the attitude of the truck with the plow on it.
01:08:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
And, you
01:08:38
Arctic Boys
Yeah. And I would recommend that for any club.
01:08:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. 100%.
01:08:43
Silverbullet
Yeah, it definitely makes a difference.
01:08:45
RICK JAMES
if it Even for the princess?
01:08:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
It does. Huge difference.
01:08:49
Silverbullet
it the Even with my... i got ah got a Kodiak, and get a I got a, it, 11.6 V-Plo on the front, but I also put a 500-gallon fuel tank and spreader on the back of it, and you never have to put it four-wheel drive.
01:09:00
RICK JAMES
Yep.
01:09:05
Silverbullet
There's plenty of weight there.
01:09:06
Arctic Boys
Thank
01:09:07
The SnowJobs Podcast
No. No, definitely not. but Uh, is there a, uh, is there a specific year, um, for these trucks to be able to, to, for the Razorback to go on these trucks?
01:09:16
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
01:09:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Is there a year model year that, uh, they have to be after?
01:09:24
Arctic Boys
Yeah. So it's going to be anything 2011 moving forward. All the big manufacturers started putting plow prep kits on their trucks that increased the GVW on the trucks to take on a plow.
01:09:38
Arctic Boys
So it would be
Razorbacks on Tractors and Custom Mounts
01:09:39
Arctic Boys
2011 up plow prep kit.
01:09:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Got it. Mm-hmm.
01:09:42
Arctic Boys
Um, a couple of easy ways to if you want to see if a truck has it or not if you're not buying it new and you can't get the original window sticker you can actually look up the gbw on the front axle the amounts to see what the different numbers are because like on a diesel truck it's going to take you from 5200 pounds to 6 000 pounds they give you that 800 extra pounds to take the weight of the plow so that's an easy identifier um i don't have all the figures in my head on
01:09:43
Silverbullet
Thank you.
01:09:52
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
01:10:11
Arctic Boys
on the differences on those, but you can look them up online and and figure that out.
01:10:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
All good.

The SnowJobs Podcast
And have you guys ever considered building a kit to allow for truck mounting and usage of an eight or 10 foot LD on a truck?
01:10:44
Arctic Boys
um I think it would just be too heavy.
01:10:45
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
01:10:48
Arctic Boys
Like way too fucking heavy.
01:10:51
Silverbullet

The SnowJobs Podcast
There
01:10:51
Arctic Boys
where i Yeah, you're like 1,800, 2,000 pounds for like just an ugly plow and that's before you put headgear on it. Maybe if we... You'd have to do a lot of things.
01:11:03
Arctic Boys
Just buy a razorback. I'll take a razorback.
01:11:05

01:11:33
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah.
01:11:33
Arctic Steve
i so I saw that, that John Deere.
01:11:34
RICK JAMES
Hold on.
01:11:34
Arctic Boys
Yeah. Yeah. yeah
01:11:36
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah, I saw that. Yep.
01:11:37
Arctic Steve
yeah That was pretty slick.
01:11:38
Arctic Boys
and
01:11:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
that would ah That would solve Brandon Riley's problems with the Agramax metal plesas leaking all over the place. He could put Razorbacks on them on all the tractors.
01:11:46
Arctic Boys
Brandon's
01:11:49
RICK JAMES
Yep.
01:11:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
There you go.
01:11:50
Arctic Boys
and' good people
01:11:50
RICK JAMES
Yep.
Market Strategy and Dealer Networks
01:11:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Brandon's good people, and he's having problems. So there you go. There you go, Brandon, if you're listening. Get some Razorbacks.
01:11:58
Arctic Steve
I keep...
01:11:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Do you guys make a you guys make a mount for the tractors or no?
01:11:58
RICK JAMES
He's listening.
01:11:59
Arctic Steve
I keep... I keep...
01:12:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Not yet.
01:12:03
Arctic Boys
I know other manufacturers do make them. Someone bought like a Western mount or something. I know other manufacturers make mounts for a lot of the Kubota John Deere tractors up to a certain horsepower. So, you know, they can look in to see if one of those manufacturers make that mount for their tractor. I think someone piece it together.
01:12:23
RICK JAMES
Thank
01:12:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
01:12:23
Arctic Boys
In my mind, it makes sense because you get a joystick to control the whole plow. Like right there, right?
01:12:27
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
01:12:28
Arctic Boys
It seems like it's pretty fun.
01:12:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that's cool.
01:12:31
Arctic Boys
That's what's going on. Yeah, but you don't have to mess with like the toggle switches in the machine, like the native controls.
01:12:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
01:12:37
Arctic Boys
like you literally It's literally all your thumb because it's all on the controller. Yeah, whoever did it, they posted within that thread like how they pieced it together. So if can finally send it over to you guys, if you can't remember, ask me.
01:12:45
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:12:48

01:12:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, so he's already thinking it.
01:13:00
Arctic Steve
He's thinking...
01:13:00

01:17:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
So if I sent it from Snow Jobs.
01:17:37
Arctic Boys
We pinned it to primary, so she won't listen to the report.
01:17:40
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great. That's funny.
01:17:41
Arctic Boys
But yeah, people are always welcome to reach out through that platform. That way, our communication, and we always try and check her as much as possible.
01:17:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:17:49
Arctic Boys

01:18:00
Arctic Boys
yeah yeah one last thing i'd like to to say just give a shout out to the guys that have been and using the product and following the product for last couple years that are on you know on the arctic owners pages and snowplow mafia that when people ask you know what's your input what's your feedback that
01:18:01
The SnowJobs Podcast

01:18:31
Arctic Boys
um To be honest with people and and spread the word. So I do appreciate that because it helps us too. um We're very busy. We try to be as responsive as possible. But again, it it just goes back to a constructive effort of a larger group of people within this industry. And we're very thankful for that. Well, it's cool too how many people we've met from it.
01:18:51
Arctic Boys
I mean, I remember when we were talking about these episodes, Steve, and trying to come up with some sort of name, just like call them rather than something generic.
01:18:57

Arctic Boys
with Arctic Army, but it's weird.
01:19:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
01:19:01
Arctic Boys
It's so special and niche within an industry like Snowmobile, where we actually have a fan base to a product.
01:19:04
Arctic Steve
Thank you.
01:19:07
Arctic Boys
It's something when social media was getting more involved and we got more involved in it, we didn't realize there's an actual fan base out there has committed those products.
01:19:08
RICK JAMES
It's
01:19:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yes.
01:19:16

The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, yeah. No shortage of guys coming Arctic's defense if somebody's firing bullshit shots.
