Moving those rocks really makes you realise how useful the thumb is.

[@pinwizz69]

Mike, I really like you and Matt's community spirit helping make your hometown look good to those who visit. So many communities these days don't like we used to in America. That Vovlo and other manufacturers allow you to demos says a huge amount about your level of professionalism, abilities and personality. You and Matt plus Arron are a ton of pleasure to watch. Can't wait to see a collaboration series with you and Chris. Hopefully one this year. A nice big pond build. With some of the new equipment you've gotten recently I kinda think you got some good jobs in store for us subs.

[@kaisabens4856]

So awesome you get the opportunity to run so much equipment and we get to watch it. Getting your feed back with them. As I said is it something to see you giving so much back to the community too! In the ends it's what's it all about. Goes such a long ways. Wish more had your attitude with community and family!

[@diggingdave3868]

Don't worry Matt...if you get DP wet, we'll pay you...😂😂 On a more serious note, Mike....was good to see you ease that first big rock into Bubba....you can soon do damage with armour stone, but your operator skills ensured that didn't happen...Great job, buddy!😊👍

[@billvandorn5332]

It was a glorious morning having a cup of coffee with the DP team! Most impressive grabbing them boulders without the thumb and turned out better than I thought also. A testament to the man in the machine working as one! It's cool to see everybody working together for the community! Pretty smart with Volvo, advertising with a pro and letting him test the machine to tantalize and tempt his senses with future acquisitions! May you all be abundantly blessed

[@BillW-NJ]

Been wondering when you might put together a blooper reel? It was hard to tell how big those rocks were, you and Matt made it look easy. Nice video.

[@brucehuff5566]

Thats great to see the community coming together for a project like this. The 200 looks nice to operate. Glad you have that opportunity. Stay safe

[@johnroberts8475]

it's surprising how well Bubba climbed that little hill while fully loaded, strong truck. You must be doing something right having multiple company's wanting you to demo their latest equipment, good video Mike.

[@Sjanzo]

At least Kubota doesnt find him nice anymore 😜👌

[@paulprigge1209]

@@Sjanzo some areas they are really really good products. My BX 2230 Has an awesome engine and it has been really good for last 15+ years with over 2000 hours. From cutting grass to plowing to tiling it has been good. Others leave something to be desired. Farming fixing fabricating use those Kabota’s and they are really hard on them. Lots and lots of hours each year

[@Sjanzo]

@@paulprigge1209 Kubota has problems with their newer engines. I am in construction equipment myself, and i know from OEMs that they switch to Yanmar because of it. Off course a 22hp lawn tractor has a different engine than a 90hp CTL and has a totally different duty cycle. When you get to 2000hrs on construction equipment youre still under warranty, its nothing. 1000 hours per year is not unusual at companies that buy them brand new.

[@alexosborne5629]

Enjoyed the walk up to the pile, a good variety of different viewpoints ! Fantastic that the landowner gave the rock pile to the community, makes the time, fuel, and plant your are donating worth the effort !! Bubba is proving its worth on this job, and Matt as a driver is spot on !!! Volvo build good plant, you are lucky to get a chance to demonstrate the 200 (not 210 😬) for a month, be interesting to see how it compares to your long gone 140 since they use the engine. Matt, you should have another go to give Mike a free river water shower too 🤣🤣🤣

[@michaelmullins1290]

Funny ending. This is gonna be nice. That 200 is nice as well. Thumbs for everyone!

[@mslorry3420]

Excited to see part 2 as you try to place these huge rocks without a thumb. I'm thinking it's going be like eating ice cream with chopsticks! Good luck and get a good night's rest 😵

[@Damoinion]

You guys have such a great community there, all getting in and donating time and materials to improve the place. Volvo also gets some really good promo from having you demo their equipment!

[@PhilRable]

Always fascinates me to watch how clean, smooth and easy you run that excavator. I don’t know anything more about this stuff than I see on your channel, but you make something I think is complex look real easy. Same with watching Jerry handle many tons of dozer.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike you’re very fortunate to be able to use different machines to get work done, it also helps out the manufactures on the feedback! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

I don't know if it's just the camera or if it's the radios, but if it's the radios that sound that bad, we use Midland tractor mount and handheld on our farm, and they are amazing!! They sound like you are talking to someone standing right next to you. The tractor/truck mount have a range of 7 miles or more and I have easily been talking 2-3 miles on the handheld. We use GMRS radios, so it's not on CB channels so it's crystal clear.

[@chipmccoy5077]

Another great video Mike, the Volvo excavator and Bubba Dump make a great team. Thanks for taking us with you.

[@legrandebadger]

It was exactly at 29:08 when you, kind sir, earned my upvote. I like you too. 🤣 Awesome video and always great to see new impressionss on machines.

[@Manoffire260]

He did it all for us in the name of a great video performance!

[@kentmckean6795]

Your definitely having too much fun!

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Two workhorses on the same job! Bubba Dump and the 200! Great video! Thanks, Mike & Matt! Lee

[@doug9418]

300 views and only 70 likes. Something is wrong there. Great video guys keep up the great work please. God Bless and have a great day ya'll. 🇺🇸

[@capecodmikemike7482]

With your knowledge and personality you are a natural sales person. They should pay you with the EC200EL AS COMPENSATION . Great vidio as always.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol like the way you think appreciate that

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Thanks Mike and Matt, was wondering what was happening with the dock glad to see it is closer to completion, I like the dock building, hope you bring us along on the whole project from your side.

[@garymessina1609]

Volvo makes some pretty awesome equipment if she had a thumb she be very comparable to the 210 great video thanks Mike and Matt

[@danielashford2430]

Thanks Mike

[@I_must_get_a_van]

I was very impressed with the quality of your camera work. 1 was when moving the excavator to the rock site with the camera in the bucket looking at the machine. There was no vibration that I could notice. 2 When Bubba came from the rock loading point beside the lake and skidded uphill and at last second drove over the camera. How good was that. Well done.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@paulneuman2303]

The most amazing and awesome video working by the river. Great job Mike and Matt.

[@bwlyon]

Yep definitely needs a thumb, but the 200 managed to accomplish the task with a good operator. And Bubba Timex Dump doesn’t care what you throw at it! Bubba just says, “Hold my Pepsi!” Can’t wait to see the finished project.

[@bobbybeeman7280]

Bubba Dump continues to amaze me. I was holding the arms of my chair as Matt backed down the rivers edge. I did not want to go swimming with him.

[@tedc7714]

Bubba says bring it !! I can handle it... Hehe fire , rocks , bring It ON...,,, Backing down to the river made me pucker.

[@joeanonemouse]

9:31 Nice videography Mike! Man - Bubba Dump is a Monster Dumper! 💪💪 Dumping those rocks in the water is going to save you a ton of work. Congrats on the new demo digger. Can't wait to see it in more action. Great video. Thank you DP.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@stevencroon]

Good morning all, good to see everyone here😀😀😀

[@louisroman7134]

Thanks for sharing.

[@barbiewarner530]

love to watch u boys do what u do.. look forward to ur nxt

[@maxobara1496]

Living the dream Mike, gold mine of equipment out there and they’re dropping them off on your doorstep ❤️it!!👍🇺🇸

[@brittcofarms5620]

I got ECR 58 today to try was wanting a 88 but the 58 was all they had to demo now,I used it about an hour today and was impressed. Very strong for the size and the cab had room, I'm 6ft3in and 300 pounds and had plenty of room. Volvo is a 1st class machine. The Volvo people here in NC are great to work with.

[@terryrogers1025]

That is a nice machine, and just from watching the 200 and remembering what I could of the 140, the 200 seems a lot smoother. Now, you could say it’s the operator, but then that says the operator on the 140 was, well you get the idea!😮😊😂 Volvo does have nice machines, no doubt, thanks for the ride along.

[@RickyCervo]

It's almost spring and we're seeing the videos from autumn 😂😂 Nice to see the EC200

[@Bman2020]

1st day with the 200 on the job time will tell great to see the you community getting together donating time fuel etc for the project when you do review you tell it as it is again great watch guys 👍👋🇨🇦

[@michaelhuhn90]

Woowwww Very nice Machine!! I can see how much you will miss the thumb on this job. Keep up the good work guy's

[@bammersmith5993]

Can't wait to see you get the B/E dragline going.

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

Heck of a job by both operators. It is fun to watch you guys. Very enjoyable. Havagudun crew.

[@TheVitorgoncalves]

Good Job Guys...keep het coming....

[@brian7327]

Great vidg Mike can't wait to see boat dock work completed

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Interesting to see how much you miss your thumb ! They are not very common fitment in the UK and I think we miss out without them ! Nice machine ! And those big rocks are sure fun to move about !

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good Job Mat and DP

[@okiemale1589]

😎👍 Big thumbs up for the channel...

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jacobc5757]

It would really not be a fun call to have to call the Volvo dealer and have to tell them that they have a huge bolder setting in the seat of that “Brand New EC200EL Excavator”! You had my rear puckered up just watching you raising them rocks up into the back of “BUBA”😰 DIRTPERFECT 😅🤣😂

[@larrywhitaker4667]

You are one lucky man to be able to demo so many pieces of equipment

[@toddincabo]

👍 Gotta' love the hours saved on your machines.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Good one! Have a great time

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks for watching

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. It’s really nice that you keep getting the opportunity to test various pieces of equipment. Looks like a great excavator. Only problem is you can’t keep them all. Was curious how towards the beginning of the video when Bubba was backing up and stopped moving the forward rear wheels were still turning. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@davehanson6915]

That is a neat view where you were traveling with the camera on the bucket up in the air and down in front. It is quite impressive seeing that giant machine moving down the road

[@dallaslawson3033]

You are good with it

[@daviddavis6855]

Looks good 👍

[@craigculver1933]

That was a lot of work and a lot of fun, All for a great cause. Stay safe and healthy

[@bobbrinkerhoff3592]

When you commented on how smooth the swin is I started to really listen to that swing motor . It's not straining at all under deceleration even with the extra momentum caused by the weight of the big rocks. That is impressive! Volvo really does have the 200 and 220 class of machines dialed in .EDIT ; swin was swing , blasted thing thinks it knows what I'm trying to say ¡!!!! Just typing this edit , I had to correct it three times.

[@lesr5737]

Hey there my friend don't feel like the Long Ranger I just gave up a long time ago trying to edit it anyting I just let it go and hoping people well understand what I'm trying to say

[@DirtPerfect]

They do

[@stashoski2675]

👍👍👍👍👍👍new machine looks nice

[@SLCFarms]

Lol the blooper at the end. All I can say is how cool to get not 1 but 2 new machines to demo on the same job. Bubba dump just keeps continuing to impress me. Really awesome work Mike and dirt perfect crew.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@rodneyjohnson2317]

You are welcome

[@bensymington5550]

Another awesome video dirt perfect love the content

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@donanything6816]

Nailed it!!! 👍

[@ScotReeder]

I've been patiently awaiting these episodes.

[@tracywagoner4907]

Nice demo machine! I am not a good enough operator to load rocks like those without at least a mechanical thumb option.

[@shawnmartisko1966]

I like some of the camera views you did going to the pile of rocks

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@philmccormack3185]

You saying about LED lights on the Volvo, have you ever thought of putting either a 18, 24 or 36 inch light bar on the cab of Bubba and the 210, and both dozers? Will turn night into day with the light they throw out. Ideal for the winter days, I remembwr my 22 years living in the U.K didnt get light till 7.30 ish am and dark by 4.30pm. Be a game changer working in winter. Used to love summer though, still light at 9.45pm. Loving the videos.

[@frankcooper6911]

That's a good job for the Front end Loader .

[@patrickkelleyjr1020]

Can’t wait to see you fix up your new dump truck. Shame it won’t be for 3 months

[@brianherron5400]

Another useful piece of equipment for your fleet

[@tonycole613]

DP I’ll have to see the rock truck, but the dump is really been a good investment. You have definitely put it through its paces. Be safe man hope spring starts out with a bang.

[@jameshutchings2731]

You make it look easy

[@kymw7833]

He'll DP I thought Matt and Bubba Dump were going in the river ,good brakes .And so we finally see the Machine that goes with that nice Jacket Hyundai still owe you a Jacket !! Nice work Mike will be interesting to see which machine is better Cheers Kym Adelaide

[@gussaba9004]

Good job Well done

[@yenerm114]

Gota love the 200 series Volvos 👌🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@leol1682]

Love this video about Bubadump truck and a the 220 Volvo .

[@benm3305]

I love the fact that you guys don’t treat what you do as work in the traditional sense. You have and create fun doing what you do!!! Sounds like Bubba might need some valve work…a little bit of ticking I picked up on the audio.

[@cyndikarp3368]

Rock Perfect with Bubba Dump Hauling. Looking forward to placement.

[@everestyeti]

How nice of Volvo to give you a shiny new toy to play with. Hope you didn't give it back with too many scratches. 😂🤣😂 You should have pulled a fast one and asked them to give you the 550 as well, that way you could have cleared that old quarry with one machine and built the dock with the second machine. 🤗👍

[@nevillekinsley5610]

Held off watching this video as equipment demonstrations aren't my favourite but should have known it would be a great video thanks.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@doritleis2773]

[@stevekissel605]
