What Exactly is a Sherp?

my speed manual transmission with reverse flip watch the gas pedal staring these are always forward so it's not like a bobcat it's not I just static and as you pull like show you here on their own as we pull the right lever back it's going to clutch the right side and that's unfortunately the harder you pull that back it breaks the right side and we turn okay staring at the real simple image you can do with one finger pointing direction until oh LED lighting inside and out this I like all the Molly on the wall cool so this is our first time ever checking out a sure so that's a fuel tank right there's four auxiliary fuel tanks so that's so that actually does not transfer directly into the engine that's actually like a fuel can so guys missus Wrangler start we've got Greg Wittstock the pond guy over here we've got Josh the sharp guy and then right behind him is Colin Cole what's the name of your channel bud up North outdoors up north outdoors because you know where we are guys yeah we are up north northern Minnesota [Music] there you guys let's find out hey Josh do you think that you can go right through that grove of trees up onto the rock pile right there ready when you are Josh first off can you tell us a little bit about your history these things because where did they come from so in our Manian named Alex came up with the first prototype unit for a competition in the Ukraine mm-hmm and he won the competition and he caught the eye of a Russian billionaire and a Ukrainian billionaire and they liked the concept so much they each invested a lot of money into shirt and threw a lot of engineers and everything at it and built two manufacturing plants one in the Ukraine and one in Russia and developed what you see now as the shirt pro model unit so they only sell the promo because over in Russia they saw a bunch of different models but here they only bring in the pro unit right the pro model and it's going to have every accessory every option added to it already so when you buy it there is no add-ons or extras you get everything what this is because I know one of the things that I've learned just from my initial conversation with you is these tires are proprietary yep and they run on three three pallets correct max psi and in the tires is only three pounds these are five foot three inch tall by two foot wide tires they have bead locks inside and out and each one has an auxilary fuel cannon in the wheel so the motor in these sit sideways so that's a Kubota mode the four-cylinder caballo turbo diesel motor is that worldwide Kubota I mean if you are the motors come in from Japan so it's the same Kubota that we're in Bobcats light black light banks I mean heavy equipment that has 10,000 plus hours out of I mean it's a bulletproof motor right what's the horsepower on 44 horse 44 44 okay so not a lot of horsepower for such a big piece of equipment no sir I mean because this thing from top to bottom is about what 79 eight foot eight feet tall eight feet wide 11 feet long okay so one thing that you were telling Kody and mrs. Wrangler star and Greg and I earlier was that the hull of this is actually a boat hull correct right it's a sealed haul so the the bottom framework on it is steel the bottom pan on it is like an AR 200 plate it's a puncture resistant plate that is what the motor and the drivetrain is all mounted to that is hot dipped galvanized so it won't rust and then everything up from that that you see everything here and here up to that rivet line is aircraft grade aluminum so that gives you the strength of steel with all the weight how many passengers will this carry typically Josh the unit weighs two thousand eight hundred and sixty pounds yet you can haul 2,000 pounds worth of gear in it in the water so you can't sink this unit you could literally pull the rear tires off from it and still drive this out of the woods is that right okay this is a sealed hall so it'll float even if all floor four tires are flat you've been down this road too far too long he lifts you're a little behind but still you keep on crawling back despite the pain inside cuz all that'll want is for you to be happy give me a chance to show that you can't be open see the way I see [Music] your tears they say a thousand I've heard them for the one Zoo [Music] he broke you down [Music] [Applause] [Music] even if you have a hull breach it'll float with all four tires with air and I'm so you'd have to slash all four tires and have a major hull breach to get this thing to sink and by then I think you'd realize you need to get short something would be wrong but how about in snow how does this deal fantastic we've taken this through eight to ten feet deep of snow snowdrifts it works fantastic install okay you have to remember this was designed at first built for to basically conquer Siberians so I mean there's geologists and scientists that use this as an exploratory vessel to reach places on this planet that no human has ever stepped foot before okay so what did the guys doing back here Josh all right now after every demo we completely dismantle the inside of the ship so you can see the motor and the drivetrain the additional storage that's in it we can pull that winch box out we can still take that top so you have complete access it didn't take you guys the three of you guys pulled this apart in real time I think it was five minutes and 12 seconds okay is what I guess what I seen the concept of that is with the shirt if you're in 30 below weather or even if you're out in the middle of a swamp there's no getting out of the vehicle to fix it there's no fixing this underneath so you have to be inside the vehicle to fix it with the shirt generally this will get you in places where nothing else can besides another shirt to come rescue you so you need access to this just in case so you can fix it and in this case you could turn on the secondary wave a so a diesel turbine heater to heat the cab inside here even with the motor not running 270 degrees and so the drives on this are similar to the drives on a skid loader where it's a skid steer except they don't go in Reverse they only move forward is that right kinda it's a it's a clutch and brake a Emily okay a front where you see the two brake rotors yep that's a clutch assembly and a brake assembly so you could see the caliper on the front left one there that's for your parking brake the other two calipers one for each side is kind of hidden behind that orange box okay so it clutches the one side and then breaks that side to turn sharper if you want to okay so that's how you're doing it now this does not have an oil bath you actually have to hit the switches while we're driving to lubricate the chain right so about every 10 hours you get two buttons up there and then there's a little wiper right here and then there's a wiper right here and then another one over here you hit those buttons it sucks 89 to 8 or 75 90 Way gear oil from here and just brushes it and puts a nice light film on all five chains and then you just keep you two refill these this reserve I have never had to fill that yet and I have pushing 200 hours on this unit and then otherwise it's a standard Kubota engine yeah I mean what parts are from Russia where a guy should be afraid I wouldn't say afraid of anything because everything that they did was three times the size of what it hated to be one of the things that I also want to point out is who typically would buy something like this uh only people normally named Stan I want to actually play out the seats these guys can understand when you would want to buy this we talked about the small business or talk I mean walk me through the actual person that buys this thing so we've had multiple different clients a search-and-rescue we've sold multiple units across the United States right now for search and rescue yeah it makes sense if it it saves lives beyond that individuals that are into off-roading who are into adventure if you if you switch your mindset the the top-selling ski boat recreational ski boat in the United States $140,000 and most areas can only use that maybe two three months out of the year right but for some reason people don't think it's crazy to spend a hundred to one hundred forty thousand dollars on a boat you can only use two months out here but this that you can use twelve months out of the year for a hundred and ten thousand three hundred dollars is you know out of a price range so I was gonna buy one but you wouldn't come down that three hundred dollars or make it a hundred ten even so we sell them for the lowest price that we are allowed to in the United States period so we don't there's no price haggling it's this is the price you either love it and need it or or you don't didn't come and have a day of fun in Minnesota at least they are actually licensed two different ways can you walk me through that so people can understand so weird when they can use this pretty much in in all of the United States you if you want to drive it in open water you got a license it as a boat okay you can you get a license though here's our we have the won't license right on it right now every client usually license it as a boat paddle wheel propulsion inboard motor 11 foot long haul all it checks all the boxes here in Minnesota and some other states you'd have to check your local state laws but any frozen water wave River stream Creek swamp anything frozen your your legal to drive it on so here in like Minnesota and states with rivers and lakes it's it becomes the rivers become your own personal highways that nobody else and you can't drive a boat on land how does that work you can also register it as a no RV and then you can off-road vehicle so here in Minnesota we have a registration for no RV so any RV approved trail system we can drive on it now if you put a sense it's a slow-moving vehicle that goes less than thirty miles an hour you can put one of those slow moving vehicle triangles on the back and if you can claim legitimately any commercial or agricultural use you can drive it pretty much anywhere besides an interstate like you can attract actor or a loader or so you can drive it down the wrong as long as gonna go check your fields no check out you know how your crops are doing or whatever rebound that you need I have a dairy farmer in Wisconsin he's large dairy farmer he bought one for his calving cuz there's cat they'll be calving in areas that aren't accessible in the spring of the year by four-wheeler as you're driving you control the air pressure in the tire depending on the terrain you're on so this little yellow valve right here right up break behind the driver's side leg you turn that sideways and that dumps the pressure out of the tires helps for easier access into the unit and then dependent of terrain the softer the terrain deep snow swamp mud the less tire pressure you want if you're going over crazy obstacles rocks boulders and you want that every offer order knows you want that footprint and that's what gives you it but then when you get back on hard terrain like a road or a nice solid trail you know you can inflate it right back up to the max and it uses the exhaust of the unit to inflate the tires correct it diverts the exhaust from the unit into the tires to inflate and then like right now you just dump a butterfly valve and it drains the exhaust out the normal exhaust of the vehicle to decrease the tire pressure now you can run these all the way flat but it's not built it's not meant to be ran perfectly flat right correct if you if you're on hard terrain running a flat doing hard turns and maneuvers that that could potentially damage the tires okay but if you're in four or five eight feet of snow and you need to run your tires absolutely flat to get out of it so be it with the size of the footprint of the tire and with the weight of the unit only being 2,800 pounds you only produce about one column for a square inch of pressure on the ground that you drive it on so in one squit one pound per just over one pound per square inch per square inch the human foot of a 200-pound man walking produces around nine to ten pounds per square inch I was just gonna say is trying to do the mental map without polish that takes me a little bit but it's amazing that you can I can't officially say this but we have driven on ice that is so thin with this and not broken through to where if you are walking on it you would break through it the same with floating bog and swamp in the end and we're gonna go over some floating box oh yes floating bag is probably one of the most dangerous terrains there is definitely because what it is a floating blog for those guys that don't know if floating bog has this basically a sediment island that floats above the water and you can technically walk on it as long as you don't mind dying or potentially dying because you'll if it's thin and it you'll break through and then the Bob will close in around you all right over the top of you Steve cannot forget flour in your [Music] in forward listen to my heart this intention [Music] all right you guys and so if anybody is interested in finding out more
