Plowing with the Red headed step child

[Music] good morning you guys well it's a bright and cheery start to our day kind of this is supposed to be rain and it's the middle of December in Minnesota and anybody with any common freaking sense would know that it's not going to rain in Minnesota in December except for meteorologists there wasn't one meteorologist that called this storm right they all said rain rain rain thankfully us guys that plow snow for a living and actually have to depend on knowing what the weather is going to do knew that that was a crock of crap and so we're out here ready to get the party started this is a raptor it's not your normal Arctic I know it's a you hit a curb with that you're gonna face hit the windshield I I know okay okay I already found out I was like oh it's one of these plows a little spoiled all right yeah uh let's do this lot right here we'll push it up to that pile over there and then we'll head over to foreign [Music] it's not a lot of snow and it's not deep snow but it pays the bills it keeps all my guys working and keeps all of us going can't complain about it [Music] [Applause] now here's something not everybody realizes but this black snow plow the Raptor is actually an Arctic but it's not their typical Arctic this is the step down unit kind of like the red-headed stepchild of snow pushers basically meaning that there's nothing special or fancy about it it's just like every other snow Pusher out there [Music] [Applause] foreign [Music] don't tell me they don't last don't tell me they don't last well this is also made by Arctic it's called and I don't like it it's missing the sections that really make an Arctic shine it's right here all of these pups back there that's the magic it's magic simple effective design the only problem you're gonna have with those is if you're dumb enough to Ram into a bank of heights foreign box claws they don't get what they're not getting what they're missing oh they have no idea no idea oh man it's good to hear from somebody else and I truly mean Nick foreign this is my drone shot that's how I get these amazing shots I hate running the only time I tell people I run is well back in my 20s besides being chased by a bear or the police now that I'm in my 50s it's just a bear foreign [Music] let's see how Jay likes the Sledge all right how is it compared to the Kubota yeah Jake's over there in the Kubota and he likes the machine but he doesn't like The Pusher and get it cleaner yeah are you gonna work in this lot right here okay cool [Music] [Applause] [Music] thank you foreign and then don't walk behind the backing up plow truck like I just did [Music] foreign [Music] foreign this is an F12 snow power it's a truck mounted snow Pusher one of the unique things about this is it doesn't technically wire directly into the lighting harness of the truck it utilizes the legs of the pickup truck for all of its lights but it does have a front mounted super bright LED bar if you do need the extra light it's like the Cyclops it's no problems let's get that one big bright light right in the middle I guess you could call it rain if once you melt it you can call it that even though it's not a lot of snow if we don't push it off it'll freeze and it'll turn into a lot of ice that'll be really hard to deal with so we push everything off as clean as we possibly can including the sidewalks and then we can worry about it freezing later on that's when the salt will cook [Music] [Applause] [Music] say it hey what did you say I was gonna quit for yui oh man that was I was curious about that too how I would go through that I mean that snow's been there for a while yeah that's hard fact really bad and that went I float on it all yeah so that's that's the nice part I like that good power huh very nice power and good traction so it's got a good power to traction ratio yes yes okay everybody said that because that's yep yep on my Can-Am I'd probably be spinning really doing some of that stuff all right well it is pretty hard packed nasty crunchy stuff there's a fall in my cam is a [ __ ] durable that side wider what you can put the boss a boss uh plow on for a half ton pickup truck you can put it on this oh I'm not joking you can put a six foot six plow on this snow Raider there's any twitches that's they might it'll it'll fit right on Alden it'll fit right on it's kind of twofold it's nice to have it on the long sidewalks a lot of these smaller sidewalks yeah that's the way to go I think you know if I gotta go down and back it's not the end of the world you know it's not wasting that much time because I'm literally making a U-turn and going yeah you're just dink dink dink yeah you know and like the caribou and stuff yeah a bigger plow that would be nice yeah not the end of the world so the big question is is you plowed this for years with that Yamaha ATV in that Moose Country plow and you flew out and I was a little concerned that this goes eight miles an hour and you would be going 28. United with that but still I'm bouncing off the curb I have to bump back on this I can literally swoop off to the side and it's nice that the floss looks a little bit out farther you know so I can push it off at the edge and I don't have to pulch this thing okay four-wheeler I literally have to bulk off the curve and bulk back on most Applause for the can of the four wheeler so not that tough no they're junk they're jump you know after each year I would buy a new plow yeah you were buying a new car and you were going through five cutting edges a year or more yeah so a bad expense raise it up big time all right you guys we are inside the Amazon lot right now so this is Amazon corporate headquarters we've got an interior to the building and then they've got a second uh that wraps all the way around you can see all of the delivery Vans up in there and we're coming in for an emergency cleanup this is not our not our account another one of those emergency phone calls this company whoever does this I guess their loader went in the ditch is what I heard that's the story I heard so [Music] um we're coming in just to make sure that everything gets cleaned up [Music] so this was not even supposed to be a plowable event today this was supposed to be a rainstorm [Music] is the wettest the whitest rain I've seen but whatever of this storm so this storm System supposed to have multiple phases over the next three days so it's supposed to be a four day event we're in day one we still got three days left [Music] what Alex is doing in the pickup truck is he's windrowing everything out Jake right now he's pushing around the light poles so that we can get straight shots so that we can come in and just do a good straight run [Music] foreign for over 20 years I think how you encourage young people to get into this is amazing oh thank you sir I really really appreciate what you do my kid watches you how much you appreciate Sports interests and what you guys did or you couple videos I saw with uh was it G and gnm g m and yeah awesome and those kids are kicking butt man what are you doing are you with Kevin I'm with Kevin we're inside there's actually behind those garage doors or airplane simulators and we're digging Pits on the inside of this building for two more simulator Bays oh wow so a pretty cool little building here that is pretty cool I so this I thought this was Amazon corporate headquarters there so CAE is the training people and they lease pretty much everything from that Overhead Door there all the way around to where our pickups are so I'm looking at all those bands coming out every day and we're jiggle juggling around them all the time yeah and I I think they just rent space to park up there oh really that's what I understand what's your name Nick nice to meet you Nick so keep up the keep doing what you're doing thank you sir much appreciated all right we gotta go do the outside Loop now yeah Zach almost backed up into the other loader I know he does that a lot of the whole front of my plow [Music] foreign for today's video hope you guys enjoyed the ride and uh we got more snow coming in two days so there'll be more snow plowing videos coming out subscribe button and the bell notification wherever that may be and this thing goes a long way God bless go get them you guys catch you on the next one
