Great turbo whistle when camera looking back!

[@spikekent]

I know what you mean, it is a great feeling to be able to help mates out. I've spent the last few days trying to repair a (disabled) friends stair-lift. Never touch one before so it was a hell of a learning curve ... got it fix though. A good result all round.

[@spencermcginty9812]

Didn’t realize how close you actually are to me and recognize some of our company trucks I. The videos. Love the channel, keep the variety coming👌

[@garymucher9590]

I could watch you and the dog play all day long. It is so obvious he/she loves to play with that ball...and you!

[@chrisbarber3658]

I always enjoy your videos, you have so much talent in a lot of things. I seem to always learn something from you. I loved the back looking view. It reminded me of going on trips in the 60's and 70's as a kid. I would always kneel on the back seat and watch out the rear window.

[@deanbarr5740]

Always enjoy your restorations Matt. I'm glad to see people fix things, 4000.0 hours is nothing on machinery today. Makes me happy, we are not a throw away Nation. Myself, i can't afford to get rid of stuff just because of break downs. Thank buddy, another good video.

[@tarbeau8561]

Looking forward to seeing your buddies skid steer in finished stage. And I really like your Bulldog lol. He’s or she is awesome

[@heartland96a]

Music has a feel of "Riders on the storm ", fitting for the look of those clouds

[@SandBoxJohn]

Was wondering the same.

[@chuckman2219]

The enjoyable view out the back reminds me of summer trips to FLA looking out the back rear facing seat of the 74 Pontiac Safari station wagon...

[@Steve-O-78]

As a Former diesel tech for Fords heavy truck line, I've always enjoyed the sweet music a 6.0 presents, especially the turbo spooling down upon shut-off lol

[@DieselCreek]

Couldn't agree more!

[@loganpark7993]

I am with you love picking up stuff that has potential and making it serve a purpose again.

[@MrStan1221]

Matt I love your channel, mainly because of the variety. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

Ac-Ron, Ohio home of Goodyear and the Rubber Bowl. I saw The Rolling Stones and Stevie Wonder there in 1973 for the outrageous price of $10 and Mick Jagger pronounced it that way. Hello Ac-Ron turn on the lights and let’s have a look at you!

[@Roboticus_Prime_RC]

That is a great deal! Around here, the scrap piles all go for over 10k.

This is just a comment to boost your KZbin algorithm! I have nothing else to write. Have a beautiful day ,-)

[@larrycroft470]

You have such an interesting channel and have a great deal of talent. Thank you for sharing these videos.

[@GrandsonofKong]

I saw overspray when you showed the engine and was wondering if it had a quick "dress-up"..usually means to distract you from something else being hidden. Always like to see restores and repairs, so love to go along for the ride too!

[@ricklarouche4105]

Cool looking building in Akron..

[@KODArunner]

Your view looking out the back window is the one I am most looking forward to seeing as I am finally New York State, heading for Oklahoma!

Nice buy! Even in that condition. Nice drive, fall in the air! Enjoyed

[@jerryuptmor2826]

Yeah. I liked that back window view. Just something about it.

[@2H80vids]

Agreed.✔

[@makingithappen5178]

You're good at reversing with the trailer. I have judgment, after almost 30 years behind the steering wheel off a truck.

[@mwilliamshs]

What did you put the steering wheel onto?

[@makingithappen5178]

@@mwilliamshs Guess.

[@mwilliamshs]

Well, not a truck, since it's "off a truck"...so, a car?

[@joseortaliz4473]

I like watching you. instead of buying a new one I spent that much on parts! working on old troybuilt pony. I have small need for a maybe back hoe or something. some day with a troy built budget I will find one to restore and use. thanks for fun video . a dream some day i might do also.

Could always use a new diesel creek video to start my day!

Love watching your pup play with the ball. As always be safe. Peace.🇺🇸🍻

[@paulbradshaw6840]

What i find enjoyable is the sound of your turbo.

[@mikemikemike2884]

How about a video about the dump truck. What kind of upgrades are done to the engine and turbo. That thing is the coolest! Love your stuff, all your video's! Looking forward to the next one.

[@andrewclarkehomeimprovement]

Good vid. For us over on the other side of the pond, it's nice to see bits of America that we'd never otherwise see and your truck has a good turbo noise. Almost as good as the 'whistler' army trucks that are in various movies.

[@cujoedaman]

Two hour drive with a leaf stuck under my wiper blade would drive me nuts :P

[@roderickmacgregor4867]

I could listen to the engine and turbo of ur truck all day that is soundtrack enough....

It does get old sometimes lol

You backed that trailer in there like you know what you're doing! Good job!

[@erichouser6337]

Heck yeah I like when guys like you and Bob build fixer up projects. Be safe brother your friend from Larned kansas Eric Houser.

[@y.a.dproductions6819]

We have an 85xt it is by far the best they made with a 4b Cummins naturally aspirated that can lift 4500 pounds even though it’s rated for less the 75 is a little to small and the 95 is an oddball with the 2 speed gearbox it’s been running since 2005

[@forestlawrencegrading9154]

I like stuff like that and going and pulling stuff around with my truck also I am a one-man business owner down in Florida I understand the everyday struggles of a dirt worker

[@robmosher362]

Nice transition from ramp to highway

[@hardies1]

I would definitely enjoy seeing the progress your friend makes on fixing up that machine.

[@steveforant2952]

Restoration updates are always good. The high speed driving view out the back window was cool. That will make great scenery in the fall, and hey I cant blame you pulling stuff is fun

[@raywilson800]

Happy Hump day Matt! Great drone footage.

[@aaronjohnston9144]

I’m from the uk and I can’t believe how good your work horse sounds, all we have is weedy little 2.0 diesels.........

[@SuperIanjohnson]

I like the rear view from your truck; but then I love looking at your roads and scenery; so much nicer than over here in England; you guys are so lucky to have it all. I really hope that you appreciate it !!

[@Granddad92]

I'd be interested in seeing a followup as, like many others, think I saw paint hiding rust. It would be interesting to see how much sheet metal damage there is.

[@rusty6666]

Ya i got agree the view was great Matt love the long trips on the videos . To bad the skid steer needs so much work like you said a little TLC and she should look good for sure thanks for the great video and hope to see more take care...

[@RonaldMedia]

Yeah an update on that machine would be nice. Or like a quick work video on it or something.

[@richardjones5255]

The paint job was a worry, not what you could confuse with being a quality production. The controls appeared to function, but the switch gear and fuse panel were not exactly stock where they hung about. No doubt there were other gremlins, hopefully they can be de-fanged before they bite anyone. A good long winter nights project I think.

[@kevincampbell7276]

I love to see more videos on this skid steer he did a great job making this one keep up the good work

[@DeTrOiTXX12]

Love your channel Matt! My kind of content right here!

[@nigeldunn5523]

Great sound from that truck

I seriously considered buying this exact skid steer!

Thank you Matt for the interesting videos.

Still, your videos need more Meatball! He's awesome! 😄👍 Keep up the good work! 🙂

For some reason, I liked the footage on your way home, too! LOL So, you're not the only one. Not sure I could watch it for hours, but it was sort of calming/soothing!

[@Piglife101]

The sound of the turbo on your truck is awesome 😎

[@carlosramires3304]

The view is perfect

[@bigsparky8888]

THAT DOG IS PRICELESS!!! & yes it does run well!!!

[@joelkaplan321]

Driving to Akron like you mean it. Pedal to the metal, keep that shiny side up and the dirty side down. 🤣 Great video as always Matt.

[@ChrisHardwickanimaladventures]

I bought a similar machine many years ago, I paid $3,500. It was a full size skid steer and was a work horse. The only problem with mine is that it was a gas powered machine and when it got hot the gas in the gas tank would literally boil, not sure why. It was a bear to work on, you had to do a head stand to do a lot of the work. It finally gave out one day when the hydraulic pump sprung a leak and it wouldn't move and the bucket wouldn't go up and down. I ended up selling it broken and non functional for $3,500, exactly what I paid for it LOL. Now I'm in the market for a better machine, something in the $20K to $25K range, something with tracks.

[@MrLotrecht]

Backward view was cool!

[@FishFind3000]

6.6k doesn’t feel that bad for a machine that works. Use it a couple times and get your money back out of it.

[@Senkino5o]

'Works' can be a very relative thing with equipment, we just replaced the track motors on my mate's 4t T650 Bobcat loader and 2 days later one of his boys tore a track clear in half while clearing a property. Not too bad, on the side of the 'main street' of a 'town of maybe 80, gravel roads, no thieves. Still $5,000 apiece for new tracks. The costs of moving inoperable equipment can exceed the price of purchase. A crane call and replacement rental while waiting for parts could blow weeks or even months out of your budget. What am I saying? Its a pretty poor assumption that you can instantly convert a machine that barely works into profit. Expect to nurse it back to shape first.

[@scottjays360s.johnson2]

@@Senkino5o got a used set of tracks for the Case 3grand here in the Pacific Northwest. Took time to find them. Old set were completely shot. ..

[@garion60]

Great vid! Would LOVE to see forward progress videos on this skid steer. Hope you get the time/chance to show more. THANKS!!!

[@stevebloke5455]

just out of curiosity are we going to see more of the rebuild on the big block v8??? or is it toast? thanks for the vids.

[@joegee2815]

I'd watch this being restored. I just sold my Bobcat skid steer with a 3 cyl diesel. The thing was rough but still worked great. I actually had it for 12 years and sold it back to the guy I bought it from as I didn't need it anymore and he has a bunch of landscaping on a new house he bought. Things can last forever if maintained.

[@paulsilva3346]

SQUATCH has successfully put the cam on the skid-steers roof, facing forward...

[@loloberry5932]

Interested to see what happens to the machine. Fix everything with used parts and then blast and paint and it’ll look like an alright machine. Always a good idea to use a machine for awhile after repainting so it looks broken in and brings more money. Fresh repaint always bring less if immediately sold.

[@briansumner2700]

I have a 95XT Case, same engine, mine has the big hydraulic pump 40GPM I think to run my snow blower. Bigger tires than the 75XT maybe. They are excellent machines. $6600 pretty cheap. I paid $20,000 for mine 10 years ago. Came from a south MN dairy farm and had a lota manure in it. The Cummins 4BT is awesome. They never give up. Good luck with it.

[@paulbevan3001]

Hi when loading or unloading your trailer lock your truck in 4wheel low that way when back end lifts front axel is your brake just a thought

On the way there I got to see where we were going...on the way back I got to see where we had been!

Matt- Using any sheep's foot type roller, you'll get maximum compaction if you can run it fast enough to make it "stand up on it's tippy toes." Roll faster and faster until it does.

I like all the content that you post and find it mostly easy to watch... not a lot of bad camera work which takes me out quick. Hate having a body that dictates what I can do or not. You have come a long way since early days Matt. Your practicality favors my way of wrenching as well. Some beautiful country ohio and surrounding states. I live in Alaska where you can drive nine hours in any direction and still not be close to the border of it. I have a choice of muskeg or rock, ice or permafrost and here in central Ak, it is about twelve to fifteen feet anywhere you go... and the ground there doesn't match what your walking around on. From twenty feet down, a lot of ice from long ago. Yet we punch wells that are well, hard to believe but over a couple thousand feet on some.... rare. Here every acre has its own weather pattern and same as for getting water. Shallow wells are real easy but most going three to five hundred feet for good water. and a hundred feet any direction, your hitting China is more probable than finding water. Oddly we get less rain or snow here in central than most all of you in the continuous 48. I just never got to understand it as for early years were as a truck driver seen most of them but did grow up in washington and it was such a relief to go here and find a third of the rain or cold.
