First Time Using The Case Minotaur DL550 - Excavation at the Youtube Yacht

[@DirtPerfect]

Did I see a new Volvo 200 in the back ground 🤔

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hmmm

[@bluegrallis]

@ 3:20? I don't see a thumb , what good is it 🤨

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Yes I did. Heard you mention it in a prior DP video. Looking forward to seeing the first video about it. Thanks, Mike! Lee

[@joycefuller9177]

Enjoyed the video.

[@alexosborne5629]

Isn't one new excavator enough for you DP ??? 🤔🤣

[@addiemellody3066]

Well, good morning Captain.....for me, it's a great day when a video comes out,. and then there was a visual of MBTS !!! i will say...kudos to DP for reaching out to CASE, and to Case as well.... for the opportunity to try out the Case Minotaur DL550. i'm a Granny, and don't know much of anything about machinery, however, i do recognize the beauty and function of the machine! You worked with the DL550 like a pro, and Case can rest easy that you are taking care of it! there's excitement in the air.....at the KZbin Yacht. i recall seeing the video where you showed us where the magic was going to happen, and lo and behold..........

[@brendahubert7916]

Wow, Case put lots of thought into the Minotaur. Awesome beast. Cannot wait to what all this can do!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

They definitely did.

[@michaelmactavish4445]

there about $80,000 at my kubota dealer for the case DL550

[@scottmcquarrie7295]

That GMC dump truck sounds like it has a Detroit Diesel in it. 6-71 or 6-92? Awesome

[@robo1210]

[@leol1682]

Love that little case Minotaur DL550 Mike you got talent at your very at anny thing man .

[@CaptainKleeman]

At 18k pounds, she's not all that little

[@LatitudeSky]

You guys are making that machine shine. Under the dirt, I mean. Case did a smart thing letting y'all have at it. Case hasn't been on my radar for years and years. But they are now. I like what I see.

[@CaptainKleeman]

This thing definitely surprised me

[@BlueDually4x4]

I think like Hyundai, Case figured letting someone really use it and really speak their mind about it; is better advertising them someone just spouting numbers in a normal ad.

[@Crewsy]

The Minotaur is so much more of a machine than one would expect from just looks alone. The power to dig, probably because of the steel tracks far outperforms a CTL but it’s not a direct replacement for all jobs. Looking forward to seeing it perform as a dozer now that you know some hoses need to be connected. Thanks to Case for allowing you to use it and let us see it.

[@CaptainKleeman]

It's an absolute beast

[@patrickcolahan7499]

That CASE is a beast, very impressive. Great job there Matt. You never cease to amaze me. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@dfusit]

That Case Minotaur is a beast, that ripper went right through that rocky soil like it was nothing. And the bucket made quick work of the working area for the cement truck. Good job as usual Mike.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Awesome of Case to let you use the Minotaur. That thing seems to be a beast. God bless

[@allensharlow7763]

Nice little rig, that Case, does a good job , with of coarse, your talent too Mike

[@CaptainKleeman]

It's a beast

[@moparornocar7898]

Danke!

[@jimbo5056]

That Case is awesome! Can not wait to see what you have in store for it.👍

[@paulprigge1209]

You are much smarter man than I am. I want to see the concrete mixer on this. I did not see you compacting it very much. Again 100% respect for you sir. Thank you for the video

[@heatherlane9270]

How great you had the opportunity to use the Case Minotaur to do the task for the yacht build - generous of Dirt Perfect and Case. Looks good too Captain.

[@HootakaBJ]

Nice Job Mike! I have been watching this Case D550 since Equipment World first showed pics almost 2 years ago! But watching you and DP work it is Real Real World! Thank You!

[@CaptainKleeman]

It's a beast!

[@mikesorg6746]

That machine is going to be awesome. Can’t wait to see more content.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@greggb1416]

Looks like an awesome piece of equipment…. Holy cow., an elusive MBTS spotting., just a little treat for us all. Look forward to more videos of this unit in action, Thank you sir.

[@billloomis7611]

You continue to amaze and show great confidence in your abilities. Nice work Mike!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks bill

[@bongobill2000]

CASE went over the top with this one…I saw one of these working with the dozer blade and absolutely what a BEAST !!!! Awesome your getting to give it a whirl…. Hats off to CASE for letting you try it !! It will work well for you ….👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

They really did,. It's very noticeable how much attention to detail they put into this machine

[@Grggeorge]

But can you get out with the forks up? That’s been a problem with the skid steer’s that and blind spot for setting things with forks like picking up at some heights or truck height where you don’t want to damage the bed a camera would help

[@martineastburn3679]

What a beautiful mini do all dozer machine !

[@smileywilson9972]

That machine is a beast ❤ that Dp let you put it through the Captain’s stress test lol the boat is coming 😮

[@thebear5454]

Case picked the perfect name for this transformer. I'm impressed by the versatility. Awesome job of "Landscaping" for the concrete pour Mike.

[@mistertoad5286]

Now that little CASE beast is something that would be super handy at the farm here in Utah. Thanks for sharing.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Congrats Mike on using the Case Minotaur DL550 beast.. great job..

[@glynngrauer3962]

That minotaur is a beast of a machine Mike

[@ecclesmilligan8712]

Sure is, surprised how easily it filled the bucket, and I thought no way was it going tp push that tree over.

[@chrisbarr1359]

Stole the words right outa my mouth! Beast for sure!!

[@tsparky236]

Good morning young man, glad to see you back? Was wondering if you and the family were sick again. Missed seeing your smiling face. Another good video and thank you sir.

[@deanadams7491]

Captain, great video as per usual. That Case Minotaur looks like a really fun machine to work with. As versatile as a skid loader is, Case too it to another level. Great to see you getting the yacht ever closer to concrete.

[@pinwizz69]

Real nice double video. First part with Mike in it then the rest with the Captain playing with a new Big Boy Toy on the KZbin yacht and beginning a job helping his brother. The Case is definitely a beast with many awesome features. Will Mike be asking Santa to deliver one he can keep as his own :•) I'm pretty sure that Mrs. Dirt Perfect will have something to say about that. A nice vid to watch on my way home. A Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you guys and your Families.

[@kopenhagenkid]

Nice to see Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron in your video Captain Kleeman

[@timwarriner842]

Great video by you and nice promo footage for Case. Really highlighted the impressive capabilities. The race down the long road at breakneck speed was fun!

[@jimmowers7675]

Good afternoon Mike. Now that’s a awesome machine. Thanks for sharing.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Captain great video! The case machine seemed to work out great for what you need it for! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@mrpopps6322]

I really like the way the minotaur is set up. Don't know anything about heavy equip except for front end loaders and packers but I do like the way that machine is set up.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

I have owned a couple different Case skid loaders. 90xt and a 75xt. They were two of the most powerful machines I have owned. I just hated the traction of a wheel loader. I would love to try one of these compared to what I have now! Glad you got to try it out while getting something done at the yacht!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Awesome looking Case Minotaur Captain Kleeman

[@michaelsuggs9502]

You and dirt perfect have the perfect relationship. Keep up the great work

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@unopine]

The DL550 looks bad to the bone for a smaller machine! Glad to see you got to try it out at the homestead, Mike. Looking forward to seeing the 555 finally make its debut. Cheers!

[@bobbydawson7706]

Powerful machine 💪! Loved the video ❤️👌

[@harrytaylor6854]

Wow what a great little unit well done

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@terryrogers1025]

That Case is a nice machine, I think the fact that it has steel tracks is a game changer. I have never been a fan of skid steers, tired skid steers tend to tear up surfaces and get stuck easier, track skid steers with rubber tracks tend to damage the track easily because it rubber, that being said, would I turn down a skid if was offered or the only thing I could afford, absolutely not, just have to be mindful of what I consider some of the draw backs. Great demo sir, thanks for the ride along.

[@robertzapatka1082]

Awesome piece of equipment! Great video as usual!

[@DavidB-Scotland]

Very impressive machine. Looking forward to the 555 doing its thing though! Thanks for the video 👍

[@JayCollins2013]

Holy cow! That's a awesome machine Dear Santa this year for Christmas I want a Case DL350

[@billcowart589]

Great video Mike. That machine is a beast. Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@jeffnash8375]

As I sit here watching Captain Kleeman wearing my new Captain Kleeman tee-shirt it feels ironic to me. This new Case machine has it going on. What a beast. It would not surprise me to see DP keep this machine in his fleet. Great video Captain, and keep up the good work, we really appreciate it. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

I don't know if he will or not, but I'm hoping so!

[@nevillekinsley5610]

Thanks for your kind words. They meant a lot. Thanks for the videos.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@johnbradbury433]

Wow! What a lovely toy to play with Captain. All we need now is someone to buy it for you. Am broke. Can not look after me self. But you keep me going. The love the help you give Captain.

[@detornodoes]

What fun, that thing looks like a beast.

[@philliptennis3537]

Great video Capt. Yeah, you weren't kidding about the Case. Beast is an understatement

[@CaptainKleeman]

Very powerful!

[@chuckmcatee9000]

That machine is a beast for sure. When you pushed out that stump near the KZbin yacht I remembered how much effort you had put into stump removals with your JD 750 and thought "the rest of this video is going to be Captain going to every stump on his property to push it out". Taking down that tree at your brother's was a piece of cake.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Hahaha the thought crossed my mind!

[@glynngrauer3962]

Merry Christmas to you all hope you all have a great Christmas

[@ryanhoward1013]

Hi Captain that Case is a awesome machine I would love to have one it's going to be a great selling machine. Nice to see the yacht coming along. Nice video thanks for sharing and be safe out there 😀

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching Ryan

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great job driving the Case Minotaur Captain Kleeman

[@gayle4804]

That machine is awesome it's going to be able to help you do a lot of things .MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY !

[@pjs5191]

I’ve been patiently waiting on a Minotaur video from DP and have yet to see one. Crazy that you can work part time and get a video of it up first. That thing is a beast! Can’t wait to see more of it.

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Looking forward to seeing you in the CASE Mike. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to you and your family buddy

[@dougyurecko6500]

I was beginning to wonder if your were under the weather, it's been forever since we saw you!!! Interesting machine. Stay safe brother.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Doug

[@charliedalmasso4672]

The Formula 1 red Mac Ferrari was the kicker ! loved it !

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Mike, WOW can that thing dig! I'm impressed and sold, but I'm scared to death of the sticker price! I do pretty good with my Bobcat 853, but I can't even touch anything you've done today. KUDOS'S to DP and Case. Love it, Great video and can't wait for the next installment. Lee

[@CaptainKleeman]

She's a beast!

[@rp1645]

SORRY for all the comments, the automatic lock in for the Dozer frame under skid steer beast is amazing. Just WOW I thought with my pee brain that you had to somehow get underneath the beast, and hook up/connect the pins, that storage rack for Hydraulic hoses is "A+" that power control hook up for that Dozer frame BOY the Engineering thought on that is just WOW.

[@4051a]

Looks like an awesome machine. I was wondering when a manufacturer would build a combo machine like that.

[@johnrobichaud2776]

Been waiting for seeing minator in action thanks

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@denjhill]

You gotta love a Case. That's a money maker machine. Nice work.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Sure is!

[@claytonl.covell2634]

[@maxobara1496]

That crushed your job site for sure!! This is going to be a new family member for DP I bet👍🇺🇸

Maybe!

That looks to be a useful tool definitely looks to have power and ease of use :)

Holy Crap MBTS is BACK !!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

He's back!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

OMG Cap’n, That’s a real boy toy! Less than 30 minutes to tame the starboard shoreline. I am a betting that the triple nickel would have taken at least twice that long to do the job!! Keep plugging away at it… I can hardly wait to sit on the fore deck and with my morning caffeine choice and watch the rising sun!

[@kopenhagenkid]

Great video Captain Kleeman

[@edwarddherde9536]

Love tha lead foot action that was fun

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Mike when case first launched that machine, I watched the Case you tube on it. It is a beast for sure. I'm thinking the first couple of owners it's going to be fine. But after a few years of abuse the fancy touch screen and other stuff will start to fail.

[@ryanthibeaux]

I havnt seen a good review on them except dp

[@leojunior7589]

Top essa case. Seu truck também é bacana, só precisa de uma limpeza por dentro😁

[@nelsonannett5427]

boy that Case has all the toys great machine. hope all is well. cheers captain.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@rexhargrove5172]

That ain’t no skid steer with dozer capabilities, that’s a small dozer that can masquerade as a skid loader occasionally! What a BEAST! I had to add that as my wife and I study on the acreage we want to buy, a machine like this would be the perfect tool for us to break ground, till soil and re-route water (for an efficient water remediation system) that would not only enhance our property, but add to what nature already gave us.

[@VideosByAl]

Congratulations on being a big enough influencer to be noticed by Case.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Well mainly dirt perfect, im just stealing equipment at this point lol

[@mojo6524]

That slope into your borrow pit will be a great boat launch ramp for anyone that stays there. They can get their boat in the water and dock it right beside the KZbin Yacht while they’re there. 😉
