Weight Considerations and Suspension Recommendations

>> Okay. Are you concerned that it's a lot of weight on the front of the truck? >> Weight is always a concern. >> Yeah. >> But it is what it is. >> Okay. Okay. >> We we try to do everything we can to reduce the weight, but uh you got a 14 ft plow, you got weight. >> Now, it is what it is doesn't necessarily mean it's good for your truck. There are a number of plows now out there that are pushing that 1,200 plus pound category. And if you are going to be a guy that's is willing to put that much weight on the front of your truck, I'm going to make a recommendation to you that you beef up your front suspension to handle it. I [snorts] put a 1,200 lb plus plow on the front of my F250 and within one season, I knew I needed to do something to that front end and I didn't just put in Timberns and beef it up so that my stops were thicker. I actually ended up putting an entire new suspension system under the front end just so it could handle the weight of that plow. And as these plows exceed that weight rating, this is going to be something I want you guys to put on your radar screen. >> So, show me what we're actually looking at with cutting edges. How did you handle that with and trip edges I should say, I apologize. How did you handle that, Cal? >> Well, we have a segmented trip edge. So, we have four segments for the main blade and each wing trips independently. >> Okay. So, you've got 1 2 3 four segmented and then each one of these trips independently. >> Correct. Yes. >> Okay. And as we look Also, it just folds back. >> It's just a trip fold back trip >> just a fold back trip edge. Now, as I'm looking down here, I'm seeing this which I'm not familiar with seeing on a snow plow. What am I looking at with this? >> That's our control module. >> Okay. >> That's going to in production, that's going to be housed inside the pump housing. But that controls the logic of the plow and and what we have in terms of logic is we have a sensor on each wing. And we have one that is on the main blade. And what that does is it allows the the uh control module knows where the main blade is in relationship to the wing so you don't If you have the wing partly folded back, let's see, you can't damage
