Implement/Attachment Wish list...

[ZLineFabrication]

Boggen, thats quite the list you got there... ive actually built alot of this stuff for my own property. but, most of it is still in the first stages of development.

Thank you for the responses.

instead of trying to guess what you want, we figure that we might as well just ask...

when ya looking at DIY forums, you begin to see a lot of repeated DIY builds. while it is fun to build stuff. it takes time to figure out math and info. and then the old trial and error thing and then the cash to keep going till ya find it works good. i would like to think small size fab shops. and startups, would pickup on these things. and make kits. then fine tune them as need be. to a point were a bigger order for cheaper costs can be had that can be passed on to there customer base.

I think a heavy duty off road trailer with dump would be nice.May-be 5'x6' with high sides,dual wheels.

This is true, and while we certainly dont mind doing custom builds, we are looking at ways to reduce costs in order to offer the best possible product to the end user at a reasonable price.

We are more than tossing this idea around...

KUHN North America.com - Mounted Roll-Over Plows - Master 102 T - 2 bodies

Or one of these

Overum Reversible Plows

That doesn't cost $10,000.

its your average lawn cart size. If you look at the pic carefully, you will see there are NO bent parts, nor damage. Only thing I would change is thicker metal and/or adding gussets for pin tongue. It been used, abused, left outside for nearly 40 years. It been used to haul firewood, huge wood chunks, concrete peices, gravel, dirt, clay, pulled in dirt/mud/snow and it still looks like the pic today. The only thing is the tires has been replaced/fixed many times due to tire rot and holes which I believe its normal. I think the overall design and metal thickness is what made it last.

I would say for designing a new trailer to tow behind a subcut it should be no wider then 4 ft and be available from 4 ft to 8 ft in 2 ft increments for owners preference and have either single or tandem axle option.

Lets expand the discussion a bit. What implements would TBN like to see brought to market? What specs? and most important, Price range you would like to see it come in at?

Lets be realistic and remember that product distribution/shipping/dealer markup will need to be considered.

what if we were able to bring a possible suggestion to market, figure out distribution/dealer placement in different areas of the country.

Would TBN members help to make this possible?


Please answer Honestly, i wont take offense.

What do you manufacture now? A quick google shows that your company is relatively new, or at least recently incorporated. I would need to see what you are good at before I could make suggestions as to what I would be interested in buying from you.

Finding out what customers are willing to shell out for a given product is a good idea. However, as far as dist/shipping/dealer markup are concerned, those really aren't your customers' concerns. You have to figure out how to get all that covered and still make an acceptable profit at a given price point.

Would we help make you successful beside potentially purchasing a product? What do you pay?

we are relatively new. we have entered into the snow market in 2009. we are maily looking to establish ourselves in this market. however, the purpose behind our company is to provide an economical option to existing markets. our goal is to do so without a compromise in strength and durability.

I'll be completely honest here. I started this company because of a lack of products available that i would pay for. sure, if money was no object, then there are great choices that would fit the bill for my needs. but from a practical standpoint i cant see myself laying down the cash.

Now, that being said. there are alot of great companies out there manufacturing a ton of great products. anyone can make something cheaper than the next guy, but at what cost? we are not interested in getting into the logistics of bringing a product to market unless we can figure out some way to make it better or more cost effective for US to build. we want to save our customers money, because we've worked hard at what we do to bring it to market.

we have contacted the mods about advertising and are curently working on a number of things to bring our products public.
