Engineer's Insight on Design and Testing

technically do for Arctic so I am um one of the owners right one of the brothers um middle middle child and I am just the chief mechanical engineer so I'm over I oversee all product development all product testing and just all of our product Minds in general so that's what I do I'm an engine what how long have you guys been working on it because you and Lucas right both have been working on this thing for a long time how long have you guys been working on it you've been working on this you know snow Wing type plow like a scoop plow design for 10 years this exact design has been five years this is the design that won out five years ago right we saw that this was a better way to do it and we stuck with that and then you took this and if I know you guys you probably put it to test inside of your own Fleet I'm guessing did you or no yes yeah we do we have multiple generations of the plow three generations tested in our Fleet and then two generations on pickup trucks that were tested oh man all right so what do you what do you say to people when they say that you just copying metal plus I mean what what is your response to something like that my response is you know we're both Wing plows and that's for the simulator you stop we have a fully sectional hole board which is you know original to our design and we've always done that that separates us from everyone else but also our wing um you know it isn't just a wing welded to hinge while it's a moldboard um it's a fully floating wing that is designed a trip up and down over obstacles safely but also always kind of towards the ground and effectively scrape not just push snow okay so what you're actually talking about Blake if I'm understanding you correctly is that you get a greater range of movement because your entire mole board will go down versus just that little tiny Cutting Edge on the bottom right exactly we can go into depressions like a pothole or a dip in the ground and we can also go up and over raises in the ground and we could trip up and over obstacles up to nine inches tall nine inches now will the wings the side wings do that too will they how much movement will those take the side wings were designed to hit a six inch curb head on head on with no problems with no problem in any orientation education you could be push remote into it you could be straight blade into it you could hit it out of off angle and you can even go backwards over the Curve all right well we're I'm gonna I'm gonna put that to…
