The Weird / Cool & New at Equip Expo 2024

[Music] J what uh this is the TNA Branch for uh oh what lot grapple is it uh a TNA rotating mini grapple what is the price on something like that 45 95 what about the machine itself what is that 56,000 what is it oh c what what machine is that that is a cast loader 30s so this is the cash loader 30s yep what is the price point on a machine like this D $56,000 so that's 56,000 and the grapple in the front what is that go for uh $54.95 $54.95 okay so this is a TNA grapple for $54.95 this is a cast loader for how much 56,000 and that's MSRP so any discounts that type of stuff has got to be deal with the dealer and where would guys find out more information on the TN distributing.com TN distributing.com all right thank you sir thank you all right guys Hil tip this is Frank you you basically designed develop this this system right yes we did where at what country we are based in Finland in Finland okay and you designed a salt spreader to do something no other salt spreader can do yes we really started from scratch we're a distributor back in the days and we really we're looking for something different and first of all a comi unit that has stainless steel that dipin acid and we have all the bearings and stainless steel and on top of that a modular Hopper design that also has the baffles in in the hopper as it scries liquids up to 3 400 gallon of liquid in the hopper so the the the sides itself of this now I own a hill tip the sides itself is the actual brine solution where it carries and then the center of the unit is where this rock salt can be carried so you can do both simultane correctly and now this will actually the unit itself will adjust the rate of application to the speed but it will also GPS track how much material you laid out okay so and you've developed that software even further to be even more accurate yeah we I mean it's all the time listening to the industry what do they want and today what's the challenge there are operators that doesn't have knowledge many times what they should put down so that's why we developed a feature as well that give application recommendation directly on the Fly based on the vther data based on the forecast based on the road temperature Etc so they don't really need to think anymore they just need to drive this is beautiful your machine will now calculate the ground temperature the weather systems as they're coming in and give you recommendations on how much material to put down depending on the temperature corre and weather correct real time correct and this is really a game changer in the industry no one else offers this and this is also what's been blow blowing up the European market for us that everybody loves it and this is the way to go forward because we want to save on salt we want to be efficient and where can you save the money today is about labor material truck fuel Etc the initial investment is not the key where would guys find out more information Frank Hep na.com for North America okay and Hil tipc for European side what is this system called is it h track H track is our tracking system and it's a remote control system as well okay more information at hilltip and.com all right Frank thank you very much thank you sir thank you okay so this is not necessarily a weed burner but it uses Hot Air Technology tell me about it what are we looking at here in fact you have propane tanks and thanks to the ventury effect here we push the hot air really fast and after that you just do like this really quickly okay so this is a propane heater yeah but it doesn't just dry the plant exactly it's just a sharp thermal sharp really fast okay so you can use it like that just the thing like this push or after that use S to the system here you just do that and after that you pull the card okay so you got it set up so there's a number of different ways you can actually operate this thing and you have a harness for as well so here's your harness so you can use each with the small tank or hard to reach areas or you can use it with the tank if you want to work what is this called and where would guys find out it's right by green and uh we have a location here in Illinois and you can find for distribut so look up rip the green thanks Julian thanks so this is a toe behind leaf blower that whisper Arrow has made a prototype and uh it is basically using our Aros space propulsion technology which is highly efficient and quiet and putting it into a big leaf lower So when you say how many CFM will this blow so this is 7,500 CFM and 130 mph exhaust velocity all right so turn it on hey guys stand right there you're going to get cooled off don't move check this out who so tell me about it as this is work yeah so uh we make quiet propulsion systems and last year we made a a Lea lower we G to this show and then now we have a partnership with Stanley Black and Decker that LE blower my God and now we're looking for you the there getting all right so if guys who are interested in this where would they find out more information so our website is whisper arrow.com and yeah we're looking for anyone who wants to build one of these or do something with it all right thank you sir thank you whisper.com we're looking at a reef stand up mower here 5261 or 72 in deck on there but what we're bringing to the industry that's new and Innovative here is that you can take that mower deck off the front uh with a with a lever and uh Locking System pull that thing off I struggled with it a little bit here but we'll I I forgot one of the links to unhook but then it'll just come right off and now we're we're separated from that mower deck I'm going to bring this thing over and drive it into a fourwh drive system okay so you have a four-wheel drive system designed to hook right up to this so you've turned AS stand on mower into a four-wheel drive let's be clear four-wheel drive why what's the benefit of that so especially for snow use but certainly um we want the big tires on the front to support the weight of an Implement that we would put on there and this will take uh we've got about 20 implements attachments that are going to be able to run off of this machine they will be you will be able to use powered implements um so like a a brush cutter a stump grinder all kinds of good stuff in the video we're showing the snow CL at this point uh you have auxiliary Hydraulics of course to move the snow file okay and then here I'm going to show if you get this thing on the lawn with skid wheels on it you're going to tear the lawn all up so I've got rear Caster wheels that are going to raise the back up and allow it to turn on the grass without tearing everything up you can take those off easily if you're just going to do snow or work in the dirt but uh anytime you're in the grass you're going to want those rear wheels down be able to turn real smooth so again like 20 20 attachments it's going to do a whole lot of stuff and the and you also have a bucket yeah there'd be a there'd be a bucket now this doesn't raise as high as a loader of course but it's going to get it off the ground a nice little amount move some malts move some dirt so the main thrust is buy the buy it to be a mower which you're going to use a lot of the time probably and then be able to switch and do the attachments and now we're back to Old prototypes so this is your when you were first that was kind of the first uh four-wheel drive machine therea GA for honest conversation with contra there's the bucket yeah this motivational discussion is that's a prototype too right familiar voices who will give their firstand perspective on everything from marketing hiring sales and purchasing and that's a prototype yeah all right if you're not in distributor you're not Distributing what are you doing are you looking for dealers you looking for somebody to buy you out on the design licensing or what's the I mean we have some patents pending but uh we're we're just going to keep moving forward with it we expect within a year we'll be starting to get this into dealers hands and build the network so uh we're we're real excited about is there a website a guy could look up yes reap mfg.com which is for reap Manu ufacturing so rapm f.com okay us out thank you sir thank [Music] you what are we looking at with 2.0 vacum that we're unveiling here at equip Expo it's got a number of design changes compared to our Legacy model over there LG's been around since 1958 uh we're the only industrial vacuum that offers four different fuel types gasoline propane lithium ion and electric gasoline propane lithium ion and electric lithium ion battery and plug in electric how much how big of debris can that hand um look under here real quick if it can fit through there we can suck it up it'll turn a glass bottle into powder and it'll move leaves just like saw it'll turn a glass bottle into into powder powder into powder this is our impeller right here that is pulverizing your debr oh it's not just sucking it's it's it is a power it is sucking it is destroying it is pulverizing what is this called where do you guys find it this is the LG powervac and you can find it at lg.com eelg we sell direct we're working on some distribution networks but uh sell direct so thank you feel free to reach out thank you thank you all right guys I want to include this in this video because this is very unique it was something I actually thought of uh doing years ago but I didn't have the ability to take to take it on and you have done it so tell me what this is yeah hey guys this is customer Insight now we provide a background we like to call it a cheat sheet a cheat sheet for your customers okay when you go into a project what do you do you guess they got a Mercedes they got money you don't know yeah you always worry if you're going to get paid when the job is all wrapped up yep so what we do if you can break it down we're just looking at a property here the property says out of the income index is low that means they spend money that's awesome okay says that they have $53,000 every year to spend on fund things like this so you actually know how much discretionary spending they have yes the discretionary income index homeowner credit score is right there yes okay how do you gather that data brand yes so it took a lot of work a lot of time a lot of effort we gra gather the data from the credit business bureaus so this is the same kind of system that people use to go and find out if they can get finan for a car or a home that's correct and you have applied this to are they a trustworthy customer are they going to pay their bill for contractors yes so we we again we went in with nothing they review us on Google BBB Angie what do we do we have nothing so now we have something that we can use for them that will validate or secure a job so now we can review our customers is there anywhere where contractors can add their two cents in or don't you take that into account yes so we do we actually have right here a rating system that as this grows we could leave the rating I can choose what this customer is it's a fourstar and as this grows you will have even more ratings on this app so they may be perfect but contractors can also give their rating how much they like working for them have you ever wanted to do that because I that is exactly what I wanted to do a way for contractors to protect contractors from Bad customers leave a review for the customer yes it's awesome I mean you I'd love that you said that you took it a step further by actually using their credit score to validate all of the other things so a contractor can get in go hey this guy's way above his head why am I even bothering doing this or yeah this is right in this contract or right in this customer line of the exactly right that's exactly right I mean what you told me earlier when you said I was going to do that y half of the people we talked to here half of our customers said I was going to do that I I had that idea we needed to do this so it just validates it even more yes all right so what is this called how much does it cost where do you guys find it customer Insight now.com okay customer Insight now.com all our social medias customer Insight now what is our price plan right here brand yeah so this is what our typical price plan is you get 25 houses a month it averages about $99.96 per client that's what most people do all the credits roll over you and me we're seasonal sometimes you're busy sometimes you're doing snow you know so your credits will roll over pause your subscription start it back up again when you're in your busy oh you don't just make them pay when the when the work isn't coming in I'm I'm a contractor my trade I understand it I can't make people do that I thought this would add value to you guys I've seen somebody doing it the legit way I know that you guys have wanted something like this and when I seen it I wanted to stop and drop this in this video right right here and now so Brandt thank you hey thank you I really appreciate it yes thank you so customer Insight now.com correct let's get back into our regularly scheduled program I was told this is like the drag car racer of applicators Dustin what's going on with this we taken our Gateway applicator uh ground metered spread and spray so as the operator speeds up slow down we're going to change the flow rate of the gr L liqu PL 100 times a second but the big difference for this year is we've taken the little engine away put a giant Honda 390 on there so highest powered weight ratio of any applicator on the market this is going to take people on on great slopes give them confidence features the OneTouch controls here so all their buttons are and fingertips you don't have levers knobs check valves it's a really nice stainless steel unit ready to go anywhere but you haven't stopped with Innovation there you now have a new lift unit too yeah so this is our hitch carrier this is the the quick carry one the great features about this is it's designed to hold the Gateway applicator so you got your tow hooks here and cam lock on the back so drop the tailgate it unlocks the unit when you lift the gate back up you lock that unit so you can just throw this on the back of a pickup truck throw your equipment on there and go down the road yes so this will save operator 30 to 45 minutes a day loading and unloading equipment awesome and it's by made by who Dustin equipment thank you sir all right guys egole has a lot of new things coming out this is one of the two things that we're going to show you guys today so take it away Jacob what are we looking at with this so part of our new commercial line going all in on commercial is the Zero Turns and we have a stand up over there we'll show you in a second So when you say commercial you say this is not meant for the residential homeowner this is meant for the guy that makes his living every single day running this machine this is purpose built for commercial we don't share any parts in the residential that we already familiar with to the commercial so this is all out everyday use kind of do so tell me about this this is a 60 in uh we have a 48 we have a 52 down there and we also have that stand up comes in the same deck sizes but suspension seat on it eight gauge reinforced deck captive you know anyy scal Wheels whole n yards but what's nice about this is like anything on our platform is our batteries are kind of our bread and butter there so this you have your high-capacity batteries you can pull this out then you can take the same battery put it in our PGX power bank so now you're adding more versatility to this and this is scalable that's our whole solution or commercial solution it's just a scalable solution though so as we have our PGX that we released last year that um that you know you can start off with just a few batteries you can go higher you can scale this up as many as you want so extra run time you add it now you have the different sizes here but you also have a stand on more coming out so stand up same size as there uh what's nice about this you have the DC to DC charger which I didn't get on there the have DC to DC charger on this one we can't touch this one this a little bit earlier prototype here but um what we also have on it is a e to where it's um you can actually take that that's come off you can actually take that and actually power other add-on attachments that we're going to have in the future so this is going to turn it let's go this way so this is going to turn into a tool carrier yeah exactly and uh even like be able to the capability of of power and like blowers a lot of a lot of guys and girls use this standup they have a blower on them so this is uh going to take that power that we already have from those batteries reduce the weight of our our existing like awesome blowers and um be able to use that so now will this unit that you have over here charge the handheld batteries this unit yeah no this this right here so this is like the fuel tank that you can charge up your handheld batteries and keep going out on the side yeah and if you notice this also has it so you're taking energy from the bigger batteries so high capacity batteries and you can put it into a smaller Power Plus Battery so so you can go out there load up this you even have a spot to add another one kind of like right here as a storage kind of with this open but yeah you can take that power from the high capacity and then put it into your uh small well if I'm I need to understand this if I'm I'm getting this right Jacob is this emergency backup power this ises not power the unit this is the power your small hand so you while you're mowing you're charging your battery up so this is our quickest charger so this will charge like a 5 a hour battery in around 20 minutes or so and you can set this so many on this system where if you want it to charge to 80% where it charges the quickest you can do that with our fleet manager app so what ties all this commercial stuff in is our fleet manager app which Scott Hurley over there is our expert in that so okay so this is 4G capable too so this acts as like a hub so you all your other commercial tools will actually talk to this machine when it's out in your trailer they have to be 100 meters away kind of deal or so I had I had no clue that your more will actually charge the batteries for your hand oh yeah absolutely what we're trying to do is add more value in these high capacity batteries in our ego platform and this is going to have we doing with that DC to DC Char okay all right thanks jaob no worries than it all right Conrad what are we looking at with this one so this is the concept model for our 30-in commercial walk behind lawn M okay tell me about it so you know we we always knew we wanted to do a 30 and we did a lot of investigating a lot of user interviews the way we we typically do and you know in addition to like really achieving that cut quality that the guys like out of some of the 30s that are out there specifically the gas ones um we wanted to solve some unique things and no matter what competitor we talked about and and some of them are really loving their 30in mowers there's sort of a common complaint that was always around weight um so we use our super composite material that we used on our our new Select Cuts and Ed it on our 30s um what it you know super composite gives us a lot of things it gives us the ability to complex shapes to give that best quality it takes the weight away but we lose about 60 lb over the traditional sort of gas 30 in now is this for the homeowner is this this is a commercial so this will use the bigger battery system no this will use power plus okay so so this will use your your your it's dual Power Plus what does that mean so that'll it's our our regular Ego battery that it that's what it'll run off so it'll run off the regular battery yep run off the regular batter you can…
