If you are still up in the air on whether or not you need more Sno Pushers this season, you are not alone.  It seems contracts are closing later every year and we have made adjustments in our business to accommodate requests for new pushers later into the season without waiting on heavy lead times.  Our manufacturing department pumps out pushers 12 months a year so we still have strong inventories on most Sno Pusher models.  Our shipping department has really stepped up this year... not only are we still offering free freight on pushers but we are lining up trucks and shipping out orders in record time this year.  We have also spend all year setting up a record amount of new dealers across North America and they still have a lot of inventory.  All of this means that you don't have to worry about long lead times when ordering our Sno Pushers and you are still getting the benefit of paying at our sale price with free freight.

I am sitting here with our director of marketing working on next years business plans.  The detail is grueling so I am looking for any excuse to brainstorm something more exciting.  So we start talking about videos and pictures and that leads to;  What if we did a documentary on snow contractors, like a day in the life.  Wouldn't this be cool, the war room dispatching during a storm, the challenges, watching Sno Pushers kick butt in the middle of the night?
