NEED MULCHING VIDEO

DirtyWorks · May 25, 2007

Hey Guys! I have an excellent opurtunity to display my machine and cutter head at local fair/car show on the 9th.

I would like to set up a TV and DVD player on a table beside it to better show what it is capable of but since it it is only 20 hours old and I don't have a video camera I was hoping yall could come to the rescue for me. I would prefer asv machine shots but all would be welcome.if you could e-mail them to me it would be helpful. thanks, ps any other suggestions?

Dirty, Hey there-ASV will mail you a killer DVD showing all their machines but doesnt have any Mulching action shots....

I recieved DVDs from ASV, Gyro Trac, And Fecon I believe all by going to thier web sites and requesting product info..Good DVDs showing some serious mulching except ASV.

Got My timber ax today....Cant run it till Tuesday since CAT is closed for the quick connects I need....BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats on the AXE!

Bout time

Let me know how that 257 runs it! I've already got 42 hours on the new beast! I'm hoping for a lot of leads from this "event". There is no one around here promoting their mulcher. there are a few around but no one marketing. Thanks for the info on the videos, i'll call them tues and see what they can send. BTW I KNOW what a LONG weekend feels like.

Hey Dirt. Quicky. Digital camera, shhots better video than you think. Shoot several clips and down load them to a computer and burn a CD. Video of your tractor would be best. Set the DVD to play a loop of the videos. Absolutely the best idea. It has worked very well for me. That is what usually catches everyones eye.

Congrates on your tractor and be safe. Your saleman should have a DVD of some sort, try that. That's where I got mine. I just set the loop on the timberax section.

We've been good and busy. Praise God. Robbie

Hey Guys

I have ordered an RC 100 with the 74" Fecon and Forestry Pkg. I to am seeking video to get my web site fired up before the machine (and payments) get here. ASV was no help. They have no footage. Fecon has footage with ASV on their DVD overview and the rep has been helpful in trying to get something for me. I will let you know and share once I get my hands on something. I will end up shooting my own once I get the machine and will help any way I can.

Thanks
Mark

Thanks Mark. I found a local video productions company who will shoot @1/2 hour footage edit to 3-4 min, add whatever text, and music for $225. said he would spend 2-3 hours on it and would have chance to make changes. this includes a master dvd and all footage shot digitally. Does this sound fair?

Mark One · May 30, 2007

That seems really fair to me. Every videographer or photographer that I have dealt with in the past had a minimum charge that was more than that just to show up. If the end result gets you the video footage that you need I think that is a bargain.

Let us know how it turns out. IMO, video is the most powerful marketing tool that we have in this business short of an actual demo. You just cannot describe how much work a mulcher can do without seeing it.

Good Luck
Mark

Well I have to say that I owe ASV an apology. Their marketing department called me back this afternoon and they have pulled together a DVD with mulching video of the RC 100 with the Forestry Pkg. I will let you know when I get it and gladly share with any of you guys who may need it.

Hope all is well and prosperous for you all.

Thanks
Mark

Playing video is by far your best tool. It answers a ton of questions and lets you and the customer get to the price and scheduleing more quickly. You can describe these tractors all day long and someone still not get it, or watch two minutes of video and wala. Also from experience have your tractor there with you. Preferably at/in the booth area. Everyone thought I was selling the head at the show I did.

Hopefully I will get my tractor back from the shop tomorrow, alternator and more A/C work. If not I will break in a new one as a loaner. There choice.

Hey Robbie

Is your alternator and AC warranty work? You have an RC 100 right? Would you buy another one today?

You really seem to know your stuff. I am about to take delivery probably next Wed of a fresh off the line RC 100/ Forestry Pkg/ Fecon BH74 package and am interested in your experience with your machine.

Thanks
Mark
