what do you think kid is it cool big event coming up let's go all right hey everyone this is aaron griffith national sales manager for cub cadet professional series of products and uh here we're here today to show you all about our new technology uh that we've put on our 900 series which is a sure path technology and it's going to allow me to drive this machine basically hands-free and what it has is it has gps in it and a gps i've already set the line so it knows where we're at so what it's going to do is once you set that line it's going to make a new line every 67 and a half 67 three-quarters inches apart so you're always going to get perfectly efficient straight lines and then right here watch this guys no hands complete and i'm back on that line being as efficient as this that can possibly be it doesn't matter if you're a brand new operator that just started working for a company or you've been a seasoned vet for 25 years around zero turns you will be as efficient as you possibly can on the surepad technology giving you perfect stripes every single time and is it available now it will be available january of 2022. uh this benefit yeah any landscaper that's mowing large properties athletic complexes it is fantastic for those any landscape promoting large properties that's struggling with labor we're all having labor issues right so this is going to make that new hire just as efficient as that 20-year guy you got but you do need to be mowing big large properties and not a lot of tree cover it will work in some tree coverage but a heavily wooded area is not going to work because the antenna has to hit the satellite perfect thanks aaron appreciate it thanks stan thank you this is an interesting story and i've got one of my own but i want to introduce you to tim and we're going to talk about a lot more that makes two to two hundred fifty dollars an hour this is not a lie this is a real world experience what we're looking at is one of these remote controlled slope mowers okay so tell me this story please tim so these products are used to mow steep slopes and hazardous trains so think of it as like extreme landscapes dikes levees retention ponds anything where it's too steep or too hazardous to put a man on a machine or you're doing the work by hand with string trimmers right and the guys i talk to they can't keep string string term or crews employed so a couple of examples uh we have a contractor customer in ohio uh that does a lot of pipeline utility right-of-way work and a lot of the areas that couldn't get a machine in they did the work by hand they bought one of these and within 11 months they had the machine paid for it they bought another one and another contractor in north carolina they got a job with the d.o.t for 250 dollars an hour running 30 35 hours a week had the machine paid for in a few months and this is a 65 000 59 000 machine the next size down is around 54 55 000. and this is an rc mower rc mowers there you go you guys thanks tim appreciate it and i told you i was going to tell you an interesting story of my own what's the name of your company tony rogue financial group and they are actually sponsoring today's video and i want to share a quick story with these he doesn't know nobody knows because it's a story of shame a couple years ago i uh screwed up my financing in my company i totally bought it and this was not that long ago this was probably within the last seven years okay and what happened tony was i had two trucks two identical pickup trucks and i was making payments on both of them but somehow i got busy and i started to pay all of the payments toward one truck and i skipped all of the payments towards the other truck and they kept calling me and i'm like you guys are whatever i just ignored the phone calls i'm like they're wrong what i found out was i paid off all of the one truck and i got this payment slip in the mail going hey you know congratulations you paid this off and the other truck got repossessed this is not this is a true story yeah they and the day the day i found out about it was the day they hooked up to it and hauled it away on i didn't bring one that's how i found out i got it so i so my credit was shot i went to my bank oh yeah and i've got a good relationship with my banker took me out to lunch and he's like stan i gotta tell you the truth i can't finance you anymore he's like i i can't finance you and i'm like what are you talking about he's like your truck got repossessed we can't we can't get you financed we can't get you money and after that point anything that i wanted to buy i had to buy on cash because i couldn't get credit anywhere and that's when i had this aha moment there's probably more than one guy out there working where they they don't have financing as an option absolutely and this is he called me up and he said we'll finance almost anybody so how you guys doing you guys used kinetic log splitters before just watch your fingers when you use them fast and they can handle some pretty mean logs too and that is my dr power oh he's got the big dog isn't he gonna be able to do it what do you guys think bobcat the mcdonald's of heavy equipment what that basically means is at least in my neck of the woods they are a good piece of equipment moderately priced easy to get parts for i found they're not premium they're not garbage they're mcdonald's mcdonald's of heavy equipment it's the way i that's what we call them inside of our company okay uh you know i always like to get a second and a third opinion you were just sitting in it right yeah and this guy's this is eli eli eli nice to meet you eli what did you think of this thing uh i do a lot of parking lot snow removal yeah i need something to sit a little higher so i can see uh over my uh push boxes i want to get something like this so my two cents on this one eli is you know i got that sledge that bigger loader and it's almost a little too big right because i'm up there and i think i got to have a pretty qualified operator to be inside of a piece of equipment like that this is almost the perfect size you're higher up you've got better visibility you've got 360 view right you can look all the way around inside of a piece of equipment like this you're not in a monster loader where you're way up there but you're not down in a skid loader where you're right there and you're snuggled in between your arms this is almost like that for and here's the thing you're going to get as much money per hour for this loader as you are the monster iron the monster and i'm not joking you can buy a 64 thousand seventy five thousand dollar loader and get the same rate per hour as you can in a two hundred and fifty thousand dollar loader and i don't know why guys don't just dial in you can buy loaders for the same price as a skate loader and double your hourly rate for snow removal and i do it all the time you guys see me running loaders that are they're not fancy they're not expensive it's because i'm making twice as much per hour that's not what you said you said i do that nobody will touch with a 10 foot pole yeah i mean it's true we do we want guys if they're going to make money off the machines and it's going to make them a lot more than we cost we're open to it man you got to show me you can use it but you'll find everything from loaders mini loaders to big big monster equipment as well absolutely absolutely all right i'm going to pop in this booth tony and i want to check out what's new inside a cab so it's a next-gen mini excavator yeah um brand new the culprit i've never seen this is any other brand running a tilt-up cab like this uh no no and it's brand new for us too let's just look okay i can't help but talk i've had too much caffeine ah how many times i've been out in the field with broken hoses and i can't get at it and i'm crawling in the grease i'm crawling in the dirt i'm i'm trying to peel apart these pans right here to get something buried under here we're down here i was just doing it with my what do you call that thing a debu or whatever i have a farm that is sick convenient if you run heavy equipment you know exactly what i'm talking about but before we leave this booth i want to talk about tracks and snow plowing very quickly this is a snow plowing trap this it's on an excavator this is a dirt track see the lug pattern they do have tracks like that on skid loaders and they are absolutely worthless in the snow gonna tell you right now a tracked machine with those tracks is perfect in the snow a track machine with dirt tracks is useless it's all about the shoes that you put on the machine hey that's a pretty cool shirt you got on right there can i see the back of it [Music] there you go that was from what three years ago it's been a while good to see you man i can't believe it no social security that's right how is that even possible we've been doing this a while we've actually been in business since 1975 so no that's supposed that helps you get you you kind of learn the system yeah we learned we learned the hard way yeah exactly okay because i'm when he told me this off camera you guys i'm like wait what all right so you will finance anyone but i'm going to guess they're going to pay a little bit more of a premium right other products for better credit customers you know we have stuff as low as no money down low rate stuff or good for good credit type customers but yeah if you're tough credit we are expensive but we're counting on the machine that you're going to get it's going to make you a lot more than our payment costs and it's a benefit to you to have that equipment i like how this guy thinks i get a lot of people want to sponsor my videos and i check them out and i know a lot of you guys are in tight spots and here's a spot here's a solution to help get you guys i needed it at one point so i'm thinking maybe some of you guys need it as well but let's keep looking at cool equipment this is the ramp rack you guys and this has evolved considerably look at that sure thanks we got a volunteer from the audience what's your name ben nice to meet you all right thanks ben all right and you're adam adam nice to meet you adam uh okay so what are we what are we looking this has a quick disconnect feature on it so you could take the turnbuckle here off the top to the bottom connect that you're gonna pop the pin here pop it in there and we actually have a handle over there which will lower the jack and it'll come right up off so you can pull away from it stay up this acts as your stabilizer and then if you need a poor trailer you can get a pool trailer for the day you're going back to melbourne the next day one person easily backs up in how long does it take to drop a minute you can drop this in a minute because that was one of the big things in the early prototype days you guys were like we want to appreciate it to wear it yup one guy can do it all you don't need a team of guys you don't need machinery nothing how much does this go for we're offering 20 right now to end of the month this one out the door is 3038. and now you can pull a mower in you could pull a utv in you could pull a four-wheeler in and we got the sport model now for smaller trucks like your toyotas what just for like their bikes four wheelers golf carts for smaller pickups though right this one also has a lap feature so you don't got to worry about anything pop that down really good thing about this is this has uh three points of contact on your truck it's very easy to install on the truck okay so down here what we have is a this goes into your regular two inch receiver okay it has a tensioner bolt which blocks this all up really nice and tight on your truck and then we've got two more points of contact up here okay here's your rubber bumpers it sits on top of your bumper it's very very easy to install nothing like adam was just showing you these are resettable latches if you catch that no okay so it's real easy to forget to latch your cross your truck you go down you'll be the first one to catch this so come over here and see if you can get a good view on that latch look at one of those latches from the outside okay see those reset oh so as it's going up it hits right here which trips the latch exactly exactly okay you go back oh dude okay you can also put a padlock in here for a little extra security why it's been busy hasn't he yeah yep he's been busy yes he has not stopped developing that's right and this is for a smaller truck should i get one for frankie you guys we gotta scan your back man you might win one i think i need to grab one for for frankie all right you guys the ramp rack where did these guys go to get one if they rambrack.com ramp rack.com thanks guys thank you all the time too so he wanted to take a picture with me but i said there's uh we gotta have a little negotiation right so i get to take a video of him taking a picture with me thanks for holding camera for me hey guys your video's a long time sir how are you good how are you man nice to meet you guys nice to meet you puts on probably one of the best tree cutting presentations in the industry when there's a new rule when you have a company that's been around for a long time and for people staff that have been doing it for 10 15 years that guy's famous new technique he's like one of the number one tree climbing cutting arborist dudes in the world this is a mower and a snow plow it absolutely is remote control you can sit in your nice seated truck and you can sit on the side of a road and cut a very steep embankment or you can push some snow if you'd like do you take the deck off if you're you can but you don't have to be being that it's in the front and if you're pushing you don't have to take it off but if you do need the additional clearance yes you can take it off okay i would think you'd want different tracks for snowball you would yeah first and foremost is designed as a zero turn mower a you know steep hill 45 to 50 degree slope zero turn from you know with the track machine so what am i looking at look at that [Music] we'll go down to 400 credit scores pass repo's okay uh pass bankruptcies okay we understand people run into tough situations your case was uh was a just a mistake it sounds like we we run across other things other guys have situations right 2008 how many guys have major major problems right right in our space and so we will work with guys with tough credit uh definitely we want to hear the story we heard your story absolutely absolutely so that makes a difference what's the story oh absolutely absolutely we definitely care about what what's happening what caused the situation you know and what opportunities you have moving forward to so are you telling me now that they could if they wanted to go out and buy new equipment you would finance them for new equipment are they are they stuck with old rusty crap that they know are so if you guys have flipped up your credit like i did because i legitimately flipped everything out i screwed it up even with an established business i got to the point where before this tony i was buying whatever i wanted on credit and i would buy things on credit and then i couldn't do it and i was just like luckily i was just i was like well i don't need any equipment for a couple years and i'll repair my credit and in the meantime i could pay cash a lot of guys that can't do that yeah and how many jobs did you miss because you needed a certain piece of equipment that you couldn't get well i want these guys to have an option if these guys want to start their business and they're and they're going well i screwed this up i can't buy a skid loader i can't buy a new mower i can't buy anything you're the guy that will help them absolutely especially yellow iron we do really well with yellow iron new vocational trucks things like bucket trucks things like that you need f-250 things like that right we do very well with skid steers excavators we actually do drills right vermeer stuff you know ditch things like that how do guys find you uh www.rogueleasing.com absolutely can i get a video of the back of your shirt dude yes you're actually right north of me oh really don't worry i hugged it first yeah that is cool dude what's your day man andrew andrew nice to meet you thanks for stopping when i'm yelling hey hey i didn't know i didn't know you're yelling at me i'm like i don't

give you some of the insight wisdom and details behind my job sites and if so i just want to add more of it in and that's why i'm doing things like with tony right here because i also want to help the young bucks out there the guys that have the big dreams but they don't know which way to go do you actually have a program that can help a startup business okay we do yeah we have a great program called pathway to approval and it's for companies that you know are getting started and basically what it is is you find an equipment rental place that'll rent you the equipment for three months you

just randomly mode so they hit everything like those roomba yeah things that's not one of those no the stripes that this makes makes is absolutely beautiful it is uh so you draw a perimeter it creates a geo fence and then you hit play it has obstacle detection so there's a tree out there so you can see it on the segmentation over there they'll actually see that tree and plan to go around the tree what happens if a kid runs out in front of it it'll see the kid and it'll stop and wait for the kid to go can you go run out in front of it and show us yep all right let's do it okay so now i was like oh now it just goes again so it'll stop and pause for the humans and uh for trees it'll recognize that it's a tree as a different object you know plan to go around the tree but for live animals or
