Uh, If you remember last year before Simon, a couple weeks before Simon, they came on to drop the huge news of their release of the new snow power V plow, which basically I think as soon as it was released became the best V plow on the market overnight. Right, Jeremy?
00:01:05
RICK JAMES
I agree, yeah.
00:01:06
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:02:01
The SnowJobs Podcast

We can't get them anymore because that was during COVID and stuff, and the the trucks, they wanted the miles on them.
00:02:03
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:02:09
Brycen
Now they don't like us, so I'm going to have to buy a truck.
00:02:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:02:13
Brycen
But that's all right.
00:02:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man, that's so great.
00:02:15
RICK JAMES
Yeah, you're not around everywhere. ah the once I think Steve Smythe was our r architect steve was ah down in Kansas.
00:02:22
Brycen
Yep.
00:02:22
RICK JAMES
I think he had to run him apart.
00:02:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Kansas City, yeah.
00:02:25
RICK JAMES
Bryson drove in a storm to bring him all apart. and
00:02:27
Brycen
Yeah, yeah,
Customer Service and Product Control
00:02:28
RICK JAMES
How long was that
00:02:28
Brycen
I was hopping curbs because s semis are stuck.
00:02:31
Brycen
There's like a foot of snow. i was hopping curbs and everyone couldn't believe me. That was just weaving in and out of semis and trucks and stuff. They thought I was going get stuck. I just got to laugh.
00:02:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
you Nobody out there could possibly compete with Snow Power's customer service. You break down anywhere in the country. They're driving parts to you. Oh, my gosh.
00:02:50
RICK JAMES
Doesn't matter because they're rolling.
00:02:50
Brycen
Oh, we're there.
00:02:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
It's insane. It's insane.
00:02:53
RICK JAMES
So yeah.
00:02:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
So what are we doing here today, boys? yeah What news are you dropping on us?
00:02:58
Brycen
Well, we've been working all summer. Bryson, I get worked up quick and easy. I'll give you the shortest I can.
00:03:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah Okay.
00:03:07
Brycen
When we licensed this to Boss, I didn't have it signed for 45 minutes.
00:03:11
RICK JAMES
what
00:03:14
Brycen
And I went back to the shop, and here's Bryson. He wouldn't tell me that he didn't want me to license it because he loved the back blade so much. And I felt so bad because he didn't want me to not license So he kept his mouth shut and then he told me, but that being said, we were able to get it back.
00:03:32
RICK JAMES
Exactly.
00:03:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
oh
00:03:36
Brycen
We had 100% lock stock barrel, all ours for the back blade.
00:03:38
RICK JAMES
like
00:03:41
The SnowJobs Podcast
The snow power backblade is back where it all started. Wow!
00:03:45
Brycen
It's back the house. It took a little bit to get it figured out, but we got it because, you know, that's what made snow power. was the back blade at first and and I wanted to bring the front plow out but now that we've done that we were able to capture the rear plow back um and we made some great changes to it and it's officially coming and we're going to take it to Syma and
00:04:08
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow, that's awesome.
00:04:10
RICK JAMES
That's exciting news.
00:04:11
The SnowJobs Podcast
Congratulations.
00:04:12
RICK JAMES
Backblades come to Syma.
00:04:14
Brycen
yeah it's a big deal
00:04:14
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah the
00:04:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
There's going to be a lot of happy people to hear that because there were a lot of Snow Power Backblade fans out there.
00:04:22
Brycen
Oh, there's tons of them.
00:04:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, that were not that were not fans when it got painted a different color. but
00:04:28
RICK JAMES
no
00:04:28
Brycen
yeah Every year I'd get asked, hey, when is the back plate coming back? And we're like, ah, we can't, you know, it's licensed to boss or whatever. then it turned into, well, I'm selling this particular plow brand and I'm looking on Facebook for you snow powers.
00:04:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:04:43
Brycen
So that's always a good feeling to hear that.
00:04:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
Absolutely. Well, that's awesome news.
00:04:47
RICK JAMES
is
00:04:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Congratulations, boys.
00:04:49
RICK JAMES
Is there anything new and exciting with it, or is it the same?
00:04:49
Brycen
Thank you.
00:04:53
Brycen
Uh, actually when it got licensed to boss, we had a list of things that we wanted to change.
Backblade Innovations and Testing
00:04:59
Brycen
Not that it wasn't good, but I always want to innovate and get it better with, uh, different hydraulics, different arms, um, our pivot bushing. So they don't wear as much, but they, they took it kind of early. I had just sold hurricane and it was only like a year and I didn't have enough time to go through it and they wanted it. And, uh, I'm,
00:05:23
Brycen
It just didn't turn out well. And now that we have it back, we' able we went we went through it this summer, and we were just testing it not an hour ago. And amazing. It can lift, what, four guys and 300, 300.
00:05:38
Brycen
Probably 1,000, 1,200 pounds. Yeah. Yeah. right thousand twelve hundred pounds yeah
00:05:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow. Okay.
00:05:44
Brycen
So we got our hydraulics. It's a new cool design on the hydraulic cylinder. it used to be two cylinders and that people love the two cylinder, but we got it down to one cylinder and it's the way it cams.
00:05:55
Brycen
It actually has more power than two cylinders. We'll have to show it to you at Simon, but, um,
00:06:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:06:00
RICK JAMES
I'm sure there'll be some live demos, right?
00:06:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:06:03
RICK JAMES
Live demos there?
00:06:04
Brycen
Oh, most definitely. Yeah. It'll be in there and same type of hitch, but it's easier to go on and off.
00:06:06
RICK JAMES
Is it the same hitch and everything? Sorry to interrupt.
00:06:12
Brycen
It used to be a one inch rod. to go into the hooks and we're now up to inch and a half. And what else? Tell them about the Reese hitch. Oh yeah, the Reese hitch, we always have to fumble around getting in that 5 8 pin out because we always had that hitch block, but now we have it kind of like set up as a cradle.
00:06:30
Brycen
So it just kind of sits on it and then you put your 5 8 pin in. in So there's no longer um finding that sweet spot. It's put the plow down, pull that 5 8 pin because it's, or put the plow up, pardon me.
00:06:42
Brycen
And it's always going to be loose. It'll always come off. You won't have to find that sweet spot. It just works every time.
00:06:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome. That sounds cool.
00:06:50
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:06:51
Brycen
The disconnect handles are up top right at waist level. Hope they're not down at your knees. so
00:07:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
was just like, this is back full force now, are you doing like, how many you put these are you putting out the for the winter?
00:07:00
RICK JAMES
How's it going to...
00:07:06
Brycen
Well, Bryson has been pushing daddy pretty hard here. Yeah.
00:07:12
Brycen
He really didn't want to do what I'm about to say is where we put active cutting edges on the wings.
00:07:12
RICK JAMES
Ha ha.
00:07:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:07:21
RICK JAMES
Oh, not going to to the front.
00:07:22
Brycen
And so he really wanted us to beat it up and not bring it on until it's absolutely 110%, which I think we're going to be there. So the current model for standard wing is...
00:07:37
Brycen
Very little changes. It's stronger than ever before. There's no stress. There's no big changes. So we trust it. It's better in what we had. And then the active, we want to go into having 25 people that are willing to take the active cutting edge and test it for us.
00:08:01
Brycen
And we'll stand behind 100%. I don't think we're going to have any problems. We're plowing gravel, hitting trees. And we learned a ton with the active cutting edge on the F and the V. But we're going to the exposure to 25 people.
00:08:15
Brycen
We've already got like six of them gone, and we haven't even told anybody but our immediate people that kind of know. um And we decided to do this one-time-only special pricing to let everybody know that we have snow power and that it's an apology that it ever left.
00:08:39
Brycen
and And we want people to to have what we feel is the best. So we've got special pricing, and it's crazy pricing.
00:08:50
RICK JAMES
boy.
00:08:52
Brycen
$10,000 for the plow, the standard plow.
00:08:56
RICK JAMES
Standard.
00:08:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:08:57
Brycen
16-foot standard.
00:08:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Standard 16 foot blade.
00:08:59
RICK JAMES
16 foot standard.
00:09:00
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:09:01
Brycen
$10,000. will never be this price ever again. And you have to pay up front and order it. and we'll deliver it or get it to you by September 1st.
00:09:13
Brycen
And then the 25 people that want the active cutting edge,
00:09:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
okay
00:09:18
Brycen
um
00:09:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
They're already calling.
00:09:21
Brycen
the
00:09:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
12,000 for the Activates.
00:09:21
Brycen
but yeah, it's going be $12,000.
00:09:26
RICK JAMES
$12,000 for active it.
00:09:27
Brycen
So um the active edge.
00:09:27
RICK JAMES
Okay.
00:09:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
twelve thousand for the actid
00:09:30
Brycen
And the reason active edge is so important is it follows the terrain like the the V and the F, and on a back blade,
00:09:31
RICK JAMES
but
00:09:39
Brycen
it's It's hard for it to to do that with the top arms um being turnbuckles, like what our normal plow. So I guess I'll let the cat out of the bag also.
00:09:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Gotcha.
00:09:51
Brycen
The active cutting edge, we officially got the patent. When you plow in reverse, the top arms extend so the plow trips.
00:10:04
The SnowJobs Podcast
Really?
00:10:04
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:10:05
Brycen
It trips.
00:10:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah That's quite interesting.
00:10:08
Brycen
Yes. So.
00:10:10
RICK JAMES
sure I'm sure Uncle Rick figured this out on a napkin somewhere, right?
00:10:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
yes yes
00:10:13
Brycen
up yeah Yeah, about seven years ago. too Yeah, it's been it's been deep in the head, and we but we find it's official.
00:10:16
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:10:20
Brycen
It takes up to two to three years to get a patent, but we have active cutting edge. And I always tell everybody too much, I guess, but we used to have a springboard, which is like a piece of steel that kept the plow kind of level, but it could still flex.
00:10:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:10:37
Brycen
We're officially using a torsion for that. So it's stiffer, but it still flexes and it always cycles back.
00:10:43
The SnowJobs Podcast
Interesting.
00:10:46
Brycen
And that will be on both units. The torsion will be on both units.
00:10:48
The SnowJobs Podcast
Interesting.
00:10:50
RICK JAMES
Nice. Yeah.
00:10:51
Brycen
um
00:10:51
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:10:52
Brycen
Yeah.
00:10:53
The SnowJobs Podcast
so So you got two versions. So you got a 16 footer regular, the, the, the trust tried and true, the trusted snow power with the updates. And you also need 25 guys for your, basically an R and D army that to get the active edge, 16 footer.
00:11:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's what, that's what I'm taking away from this.
00:11:12
Brycen
Yes, whoever wants it, that's what they, if, uh,
00:11:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
What's the timeframe, Rick? What do you need? When do you need to get these 25 guys?
00:11:20
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:11:21
The SnowJobs Podcast
Do you, you need it by a certain date?
00:11:23
Brycen
we feel if we don't put pressure on them that they'll back away and and forget. I probably shouldn't
Trade Show Preparations and Sales Success
00:11:29
Brycen
say that, but that's in human nature.
00:11:29
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, you got if you if you need to deliver them by September, which I would assume most guys want you know them delivered by September, then you need time to build them too.
00:11:30
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:11:38
Brycen
Right.
00:11:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that that doesn't seem crazy.
00:11:38
Brycen
So it would be the first, um, The end of next month. So the end of June, right after Syma, little bit after Syma.
00:11:38
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:11:47
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:11:48
Brycen
We need to know. We wanted to make it through Syma so the people could talk to us after they see it. They're they're going to get excited.
00:11:55
The SnowJobs Podcast
So it'll be at Syma.
00:11:56
Brycen
Yes.
00:11:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, wow.
00:11:58
RICK JAMES
Both of them?
00:11:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
So you'll you'll be, just have a pad.
00:11:59
RICK JAMES
The standard and the activate?
00:12:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Just have a pad at Simon. You'll have 25 signatures, no problem.
00:12:04
Brycen
I think so because it's it's pretty cool. And what we're doing is we're making a hybrid plow just for the show. One side is going to be the standard, and then the other side is going to have the active wings.
00:12:14
RICK JAMES
Oh.
00:12:17
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's cool.
00:12:17
Brycen
We can see what they do.
00:12:18
RICK JAMES
Nice.
00:12:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's really cool. Now, did how many V's did you sell last year at Simon?
00:12:21
RICK JAMES
I'm just going to go. All
00:12:25
The SnowJobs Podcast
do you Do you know the number offhand? Because I know it was a lot.
00:12:28
Brycen
At the show, i don't know, teens or something. It was fair amount. You never really sell at a show, but we do.
00:12:35
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, I know, but you did.
00:12:35
RICK JAMES
right. You guys, you guys did it.
00:12:37
The SnowJobs Podcast
Uh,
00:12:38
Brycen
Yeah.
00:12:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
I think that if I remember correctly, Jeremy, correct me if I'm wrong. I remember the number between the show and the leads from the show that in the following week translated the sales was like in the 20 twenties or thirties.
00:12:51
Brycen
yeah It could be, yeah. Yeah, it was high 20s, yeah.
00:12:52
The SnowJobs Podcast
So that was, that's awesome.
00:12:54
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:12:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Good for you guys. Cause who the hell sells 20 truck plows at Simon?
00:12:56
RICK JAMES
toy
00:12:59
Brycen
Well, it's 11 foot and all the the fancy stuff.
00:12:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Nobody, nobody.
00:13:00
RICK JAMES
um correct
00:13:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:13:03
Brycen
Now, we didn't get unscathed, though. I did a lot of driving. The only problem we had was the active cutting edge and the center cutting edge was breaking, frankly.
00:13:18
Brycen
And i I did a lot of driving, a lot of testing, and now the center section actually pivots also. So the center is active and the two wings, and it's solid. We went to three-quarter inch bolts, and we went to more of them.
00:13:36
Brycen
um And the other thing that we had is it was wearing out too quick. So now we are the, well, no, and one of our competitors get you can get carbide on their plow too but you have to have an option ours has carbide on the v plow on the center and on the wings and that's the only way we sell it
00:13:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's standard.
Major Contracts and Customer Commitment
00:13:59
RICK JAMES
Ooh, Mm-hmm.
00:13:59
Brycen
standard and bryson went down to virginia and so did jeremy another guy out of minnesota and they plowed for
00:14:01
The SnowJobs Podcast
she
00:14:10
Brycen
Davey? Who was that? um It was actually for Virginia DOT. Right, but I think Davey. Someone had the biggest contract. But they plowed 180 miles of roads, highways down in Virginia.
00:14:17
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:14:24
Brycen
And that cutting edge is only like a half an inch worn off of it because of that carbite.
00:14:29
RICK JAMES
Uh.
00:14:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:14:31
Brycen
Yeah.
00:14:31
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's sick. You have video of that?
00:14:33
Brycen
I have a picture of the carbite and
00:14:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:14:36
Brycen
b Rison did it with his fissure that he was running on the front, and it had like seven-eighths of the cutting edge.
00:14:42
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:14:43
Brycen
He had to stop. would you miss, like two hours at the end of it that you couldn't go? Yeah, and it was wearing into the main board or the wing. Or the cutting edge right off it.
00:14:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:14:50
Brycen
Yeah.
00:14:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah. I was going to say you brought that home in the bed of your truck.
00:14:53
Brycen
Yeah.
00:14:55
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:14:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh.
00:14:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, Rick, the one thing I don't ever worry about with you, with anybody that buys a snow power is worrying about if something doesn't work or something breaks. like yeah

00:15:59
RICK JAMES

Brycen
We, we changed, we chased all of them out. And I think there's just three plows we got to find for the cutting edges. and But we didn't change anything else.
00:16:07
RICK JAMES
I don't remember.
00:16:08
Brycen

00:18:14
Brycen
I've got a lot of stuff that is, you know, we just pulled that one out on the rear plow for pushing backwards, and we've got some other stuff coming too. But anybody that wants to see the place, I'd love to show it to them.

RICK JAMES
Good.
00:19:21
Brycen

The SnowJobs Podcast
So are these, uh, we saw a lot of these specialty, uh, plows out there, the snow power V in the black.
00:19:22
RICK JAMES
Oh, yeah.
00:19:28
The SnowJobs Podcast
Um, are we, uh, are we doing the back blades and any other colors other than the ah snow power orange
00:19:28
Brycen
I don't know.
00:19:29
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:19:35
Brycen
um
00:19:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
or not for the limited run?
00:19:38
RICK JAMES
TBD.
00:19:39
Brycen
i o I talk too much. i'm deep I'm trying to see if I should say it.
00:19:43
RICK JAMES
Okay.
00:19:46
RICK JAMES
no
00:19:46
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:19:46
Brycen
It's not 100% official, but theyre the plows are going to be available in black, and I can't tell you how they're going to be out there yet.
00:19:47
RICK JAMES
purple ah
00:19:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Okay.
00:19:59
Brycen
but And it's our wrinkle black, and we're...
00:19:59
RICK JAMES
that
00:20:04
Brycen
Boy, I just open up too much. We are testing the wrinkle on the orange as we speak. It's coming in next week, and it probably will be on the plow that goes to the show at Saima, the wrinkle orange.
Innovative Approaches and Future Plans
00:20:18
RICK JAMES
What do you prefer?
00:20:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
Wow.
00:20:19
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome.
00:20:19
Brycen
it It's a way better product because wrinkles up. Well, tell them what. Well, we We did it gloss back in the day for Hurricane, so it was all gloss red, and then we changed it to a textured red, and we found out that it holds up to scratches a lot better.
00:20:19
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:20:36
The SnowJobs Podcast
Hell yes. I have the textured ones.
00:20:36
Brycen
So, so
00:20:38
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yes, it does.
00:20:38
Brycen
yeah it's more durable, and then i was like, you know what, let's let's put this on some plows, because we're worried about being textured, that the snow would stick to it and everything.
00:20:47
Brycen
Well, at first, we just sprayed it on, and um the snow did stick a little bit, but then we learned that if you sandblast it, snow doesn't stick at all. And it's very, very durable.
00:20:47
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:20:58
Brycen
I have it on all my V blades. I have it in all my back blades. um It's all textured and it just holds up to abuse, if you want to call it that, a lot more.
00:21:08
Brycen
Like it's way better. So I finally convinced him to, hey, let's let's do it on these plows too, because it just holds up so much better.
00:21:08
RICK JAMES
Mm-hmm.
00:21:16
The SnowJobs Podcast
Interesting.
00:21:18
Brycen
Because when it wrinkles, it it gets like a high side.
00:21:18
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's cool.
00:21:21
Brycen
You're just hitting the top of the wrinkle. You're not getting into the depth of the ah the metal.
00:21:23
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah.
00:21:26
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep. Uh, Rick, the boys had the hurricane out today. I drove by and they had the hurricane working still in there, still doing it.
00:21:32
Brycen
yeah
00:21:35
Brycen
yeah I just got literally on April 8th another patent that is affiliated with that in a lawnmower. I'll just say it that way.
00:21:44
The SnowJobs Podcast
it Christmas.
00:21:46
RICK JAMES
We're just going to let everybody know and beg you.
00:21:46
Brycen
Literally. but It's cool. well look you Everybody can't see it. but but maybe Are videos freezing?
00:21:54
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, your video is frozen.
00:21:54
RICK JAMES
Yeah, your league
00:21:56
Brycen
I'll send you pictures.
00:21:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's all right, though. Yeah, we'll put pictures out there for you. Absolutely.
00:22:01
RICK JAMES
is... Yeah.
00:22:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
Well, that's awesome. So the back blade is back for snow power.
00:22:05
RICK JAMES
actually
00:22:06
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's going to make a lot of people happy.
00:22:08
Brycen
It is. and And now I'll give you the the last little tidbit also.
00:22:08
RICK JAMES
yeah
00:22:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
and Okay.
00:22:15
Brycen
Anybody, like when you listen on the radio or anywhere, it's like, join Verizon. We'll give you two phones for free. We want this new customer.
00:22:25
Brycen
Well, what about everybody that's on Verizon already? They already got them, so they don't care about them.
00:22:30
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep, we got nothing.
00:22:32
RICK JAMES
Yep.
00:22:32
Brycen
Right. So if you have purchased a Snow Power product, front or rear, we're going to take another $500 off.
00:22:43
Brycen
So we're going to be at nine five and 11-5 because we want...
00:22:47

00:22:49
Brycen
Yes, we...
00:22:49
RICK JAMES
Loyalty.
00:22:50
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's literally never been done before in the snow industry. I don't think.
00:22:54
RICK JAMES
You okay with that, Bryson?
00:22:54
Brycen
No, I'm good with it. I'm good with it.
00:22:59
Brycen
Well, it sickens me. and And that's our punishment for allowing it to be licensed out. It should have never left.
00:22:59
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's guys.
00:23:05
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:23:06
The SnowJobs Podcast

00:23:06
Brycen

00:23:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
I got you.
00:23:14
Brycen
So.
00:23:14
RICK JAMES
Nice.
00:23:15
The SnowJobs Podcast
Cool. That's awesome. they're Good for you guys. That's ah that's great news. Glad to hear it's coming back.
00:23:19
RICK JAMES
Yeah.
00:23:20
The SnowJobs Podcast
Glad to hear that the V plow did so well. You got it all wrinkled out because I don't want to hear you putting 60, 70, 80 million miles on your truck next winter.
00:23:29
RICK JAMES
No.
00:23:30
Brycen
Oh, man. i dont
00:23:31
RICK JAMES
Yeah, you were pushing hard.
00:23:31
Brycen
That was a rough winter, but I drove a lot. Rick drove a lot. We all drove a lot. Oklahoma, Kansas. Yeah, we were bailing out.
00:23:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yep.
00:23:39
Brycen
We did some stuff for for Josh, and we had a good time.
00:23:41
RICK JAMES
Yeah,
00:23:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good.
00:23:45
RICK JAMES
that was great.
00:23:45
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good.
00:23:46
Brycen
A lot of snow. Seven trucks to Oklahoma.
00:23:49
The SnowJobs Podcast
I heard that. I heard that.
00:23:50
Brycen
And later, we got a foot of snow back home, and I was stressed out to the max.
00:23:50
RICK JAMES
That's cool
00:23:54
Brycen
Yeah, it was great. Yeah.
00:23:56
RICK JAMES
cool. That's snow removal.
00:23:56
The SnowJobs Podcast
ah
00:23:58
The SnowJobs Podcast
Oh, man. That's it. That's snow.
00:24:02
RICK JAMES
That's awesome.
00:24:02
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's awesome. Good for you guys.
00:24:03
Brycen
Yeah, and then the following day, set my second to last truck out.
00:24:04
RICK JAMES
That's a bad weight pack.
00:24:06
Brycen
stressed me out some more. Oh, well, it was good.
00:24:08
RICK JAMES
That's great.
00:24:10
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's good. Well, that's awesome. I think that's, I don't think you're going to have any problem getting 25 and D guys to, to take you up on that offer. That seems like an absolute no brainer. And you're, and you've already said you're standing behind that. I mean, you stand behind everything you guys put out, but you're standing behind the, the R and D stuff a hundred percent. You'll get them back up and running. and So, i mean, why wouldn't you like that? That seems like a total no brainer for me if I'm a backblade guy.
00:24:34
Brycen
And I don't think we're going to have any problem the way we beat it up, but don't be concerned if for some reason it's a problem, we literally can put two wings on the thing, the standard wings, and they can just drive away.
00:24:35
RICK JAMES
Thank you.
00:24:49
Brycen
And then I'll give you a huge discount if that's the case. This is worst case scenario. I shouldn't even be talking negative, but I'm telling you if it does happen, I don't care.
00:24:57
The SnowJobs Podcast
Yeah, it ain't gonna happen.
00:25:00
Brycen
You'll get the standard wings on that thing and I'll darn near give it to you at that point because i don't that's just how I am. We'll make sure it's right.
00:25:09
The SnowJobs Podcast
You are a different cat, brother.
00:25:11
RICK JAMES
Yeah, definitely.
00:25:13
The SnowJobs Podcast
They don't make them like you anymore.
00:25:13
RICK JAMES
That's great.
00:25:15
Brycen
Because we're only going to do 25 and I want the people that really like to innovate and see it to to have it.
00:25:22
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's smart.
00:25:22
RICK JAMES
you know yeah definitely they can
00:25:24
Brycen
And that 500 goes towards that that also.
00:25:25
RICK JAMES
know
00:25:29
Brycen
So that would be 11.5. Any plow that someone buys... um that's had a plow before. I want to and want to help them out.
00:25:39
The SnowJobs Podcast
That's great.
00:25:40
