I Wouldn't Buy This Equipment... Here's Why

What happens here

The Storm Equipment representative further details the snow plow's features, including floating moldboards (wings) and floating edges on the center section, which also trip for obstacle avoidance. The plow is available in 8-foot and 10-foot moldboard widths and features wing calibrations from 2 to 8 feet. The host expresses surprise at the $30,000 price, having expected it to be higher, closer to $48,000 (which is the price for their larger models). He emphasizes the importance of understanding the history and experience behind a company's product design.

Goal: Understand the advanced features and value proposition of the Storm Equipment snow plow.

What they say

And then as we look at back here, look at what they did with this sec center section right here. Look at the thickness of this steel. Look at the thickness here. Every single little thing, this is where you start to notice the nuances of how a company does it. When I look at a piece of equipment, I look at every minutia, Craig. I'm looking at your welds here. I'm looking at the thickness of the steel. I I And I look at the system how you actually have these centered right here so that you could actually pop them springs off and replace those springs if you need to be, right? >> I'll revert back to our contractor roots. Like we're out there at 2:00 a.m. using these plows and uh you know, our our job is to make it easier for all the snow contractors out there. >> Excellent. So, what is the price point on a unit like this, dude? >> Uh so, this will top out right around 30,000. >> Now, this is where I get sticker shock, but for all the right reasons. I was expecting this blade to come into the mid-40s range, for sure. It fits. >> Yep. >> For real? >> Yep. >> What's the uh what's the weight? What's the length that'll go from what's the >> So, so this model here is what we call our C16. So, we have a compact version uh and then we have our E-Series, which has a 4-ft moldboard versus this 36-in moldboard. Uh this is our only 8-ft moldboard width that we make. All the rest of them are 10-ft. And then we have wing calibrations of 2, 4, 6, and then our large largest models have 8-ft wings. >> I'm I'm kind of reeling from the 30,000. But, was legitimately thinking >> Yeah, so that's the base of this all right. >> range. >> plows do push that like yep. >> They're up in the 40 >> Yep. >> Okay, that's what I was thinking you were going to say right out of the gate. >> Yep. >> Okay, okay, okay. >> You got it. >> We're on the same page. Uh so, when we look at this equipment, not only do we look at the manufacturing, but I also like to analyze the history of the equipment. Who exactly is making it? Where did they come from? How long have they been in the industry? What's their experience like? What are they known for in the past? So, as we analyze and break down each piece of equipment, it's not just the visual factors that go into something like this. It's the history behind the piece of equipment that also factors into that. So, as I look at something…
