The SnowPlow Edition

we are going to look at the new Defiance rear snowplow system okay and the owner for this snow plow system tell me a little bit about his history because this is something not a lot of people don't know the one of the owners of defiance is the from the family that developed the boss no plow yep and the blizzard snowplow right and they're also related to the ants trailer correct so the and they also do cattle trailers so this is not something that these guys are dipping their toe in the water they've got a history in the snow industry and Manufacturing as well correct so they've been in the snow industry for quite some time and Cal nimala is with us today and so this is this is what we're looking at right here this is this the world's first this would be the first um this is the the first Defiance plow that actually angles so it's a back plow that will actually angle with 180 degree reversible Wings correct okay and that's the guy that's the guy as soon as he's off the phone he's with us okay all the way up and look at that just pulled all the way out just like that and then I wonder if she'll fold all the way again look at they've got it's got to go into full containment let's find out who's the guy right here cow yes sir how you doing nice to meet you Stan yeah yeah good to meet you nice to meet you so will These Wings fold all the way in cow These Wings will they fold all the way in to become a boxer when you're dragging no they go into a straight semi-school semi semi scoop what a semi-school I mean just I'll show you oh crap you're starting this truck up in here foreign [Music] okay so that's as far in as you go that's our scoop right there okay so that's you don't go down the road with the wings folded in you go down the road with the wings folded back then completely folded back compact position can you show us wow [Music] so now all your Hydraulics and vital components are protected when you go up to a door with with it folded in like this you're six and a half or eight and a half feet wide you're all fully enclosed you're compact you can plow push or pull in in all positions Now show us the thing that makes this unique that no other Pope plow will do kale that would be our angle position yep [Applause] so we can uh yeah effectively windrow snow and pop them Wings all the way out for me would you count that is a thing of beauty [Applause] look at that oh my God so tell me about the testing on this has this actually been on the market have people been using it or what's going on we designed it we built one unit and we tested that two years ago we made some adjustments we added some we beefed it up we had a few areas that we were seeing some fatigue and we wanted to be bulletproof so we beefed it up we put four units out in the field last year Buffalo Cedar Rapids couple in Michigan and this is the design we're going and this is not going to be for sale anytime soon kale or is this going to be coming to actual Market it's coming to market for uh early 23. and can we also tell people that you're making this for heavy equipment as well we're going to be having a knockoff of this A variation of it that's going to be for the compact wheel loaders it's going to be a front mounted plow horse and it's going to be uh this one is the 6 16 foot blade it'll be a 14 footer for the compact wheel okay so let's look at some of the unique things that I've never seen before we've got that's a moldy urethane we call it an excluder a hinge excluder it keeps the snow from flowing between the wing and the main blade and it's molded urethane we've got a molded urethane cutting edges that are live we've got about an inch of of up and down they're segmented so that you can conform to the plowing surface how are they how are they live they've got composite Springs inside that are in here in this in this tube frame no up and up well up in this cavity here there's it's a little hard to describe but this profile of this of this Edge comes down it drops down and it it allows uh there's a a spring similar to those right there but orientated differently compression springs what are you going to sell it for 16.9 we run a uh you've got your heavy power coming back from the engine compartment one wire we have our control cable that comes back to uh well from here from the back up to the cab of the truck so that's that's our wiring program [Music] [Applause] [Music] what we have on the control stand is uh some presets on here I can do a single tap and or actually a double tap will bring me uh in sorry [Music] and I can run the wings independently in the same with the same presets where will this be available Kel um Patrick and iron Valley here is going to be our dealer in Minnesota in Minnesota and we're going to be setting up independent dealers throughout the country okay yeah and you help develop originally the Boss snow plows then the blizzard and your family also does trailers so not only snowplows are familiar to you but Manufacturing in general is kind of in your wheelhouse yeah we've been manufacturing since we were kids my brothers and I so it's a it's a lifelong Endeavor okay and that is coming
