What happens here

A critical point for durability is the trip edge mechanism. Lucas discusses the use of 'rolled springs' instead of 'compression springs' in Arctic's trip edges. He explains that Arctic has extensively tested the durability of their rolled springs, finding that they can withstand 260-282 hits from an obstacle before failing. This rigorous testing ensures reliability and confidence in their design. The video implies that rolled springs offer superior durability for the demands of snow removal.

Goal: Understand the durability benefits of rolled springs in snow pusher trip edges.

Tools and materials

  • Compression Springs N/A — Mentioned as an alternative spring type for comparison
  • Rolled Springs N/A — Part of the trip edge mechanism, designed for durability

Springs it rolled Springs so what I've heard compression springs are better than rolled Springs on trip edges am I wrong or am i right I've never really heard that argument to be honest with you we've always used for old Springs we've never had a problem in it it's funny you mention that because we've tested the durability of these Springs that I know it takes exactly in the neighborhood of 260 to 200 of an obstacle for those Springs that fail and we know that because we put a guy in our yard at the skid-steer he went to town for 10 hours straight and the guy said they're counting how many times he hit it I swear to God and then they finally said it broke and that's how we know how many there hadn't uh planted 8 inch steel parking blocks that we made one of the things that Lucas hasn't mentioned that I do know if they will test a product for up to seven years before releasing it out
