A NEW Salt Spreader

What happens here

This step demonstrates the practical application of the Arctic Double Down in a real-world setting. A CASE TR340B skid steer first uses its regular bucket to break up a large pile of salt, a necessary step to prevent jamming, especially in freezing conditions. The skid steer then quickly swaps its bucket for the Double Down spreader, connecting the two hydraulic hoses without any electronic hookup. The operator then uses the Double Down to scoop up salt and spread it across a paved area. Adjustments to the spread pattern and volume are made using the manual valves on the back of the unit. The hinged grates are shown in action, effectively separating large salt chunks. Finally, the bucket is emptied back into the main salt pile, showcasing the efficiency of the hinged grates in discharging remaining material.

Goal: Observe the practical operation and ease of use of the Double Down in a real-world scenario.

think he's doing it but that's up the ability to cast salt below parked cars is pretty Monumental because it saves a contractor return turn trips so now we're off to go film The Double Down outside you guys got salt and everything right here ready to go huh you get a little dicey on Rock careful out about the plan do they let you actually use these at trade shows yeah we just go it until they say stop we used to have two of them here I can't remember the name of segue yeah seg this is actually where we do all it's like where we do all the stress test for the Double Downs all the all the salt that we spread this is where we go County just lets us dig in it so it's the County's pile yep the town ship pile what are we bringing over we bringing over a uh you should be bringing over a skid with a one yard on it buckets clear what's the plan Lucas all right so what we're going to do is we're going to break up the pile like you should in the winter time you don't want to dump Frozen salt onto your spreader ruin your crates you don't want to do the same with a double down and then we're going to show how quickly we can take the plow bucket off the machine and swap over to the double down and hook it up all right let's do it so before we hooked up to the double down here we did use the bucket of the skid loader just to loosen up that salt but now let's watch how fast and easy you can hook up to this thing w [Music] the upper great does what it's supposed to do it takes all of the big chunkers and keeps them up top and not jamming up your auger system down below dud that thing just goes crazy that was thrown wait what mode is that Lucas a lot that's the a lot mode oh we're running late mode we need to salt a massive block with this little bucket immediately yeah that's how just one little adjustment that thing can really throw down and that's just normal third valve so let me let me just let's just see that valve okay okay so you just adjusted the valve where Lucas to to change that FL so you move it either way higher the number higher the flow lower the number lower the flow that's your augur and then this is for your Spinners so I just made a adjustment down the other way and this is the Double Down yep by Arctic one yard Double Down by Arctic available in Hover coat galvanized and stainless steel thank you sir yep and when you're done salting if you have any extra material still left in the bucket they made it pretty easy to dump it back out into the pile
