Digging a basement in some hard ground with the 140 and 850 get the rock bucket 😬

[@Wood.Water.Camping]

You don’t find an operator like Jerry very often. He’s one heck of a guy just like DP

[@iceman7541]

nice to see jerry warm up to the camera

[@DirtPerfect]

I agree

[@Losttoanyreason]

Yeah, I have noticed he is getting a little less camera shy. He has moved from only distance shots to some midrange and the rare close shot. DP is getting him properly trained, LOL. I hate being in front of a camera myself. Very camera shy, so I understand not wanting to be videoed. It makes video chatting with family a little hard. I can do it I just don't like it.

[@Kryten428]

DP - Thank you for applying for the equipment operators job. How are you in front of a camera? Applicant - Aaaaahhhhhhhh ????????????????

[@greghurrell9694]

you should make temporary cover for the dozer to keep jerry out of the cold wind

[@jonathanharrington9648]

That wouldn't be hard to do iether a few hundred bucksin steel and some lexan done deal...I did mine last year best money spent

[@blackdogexcavator21]

When Jerry tells you to get out of the way, you get out of the way. He's just that good. Yall stay safe.

[@mitchelsallseason9359]

SO TRUE! haha, I got an employee like that... " I got this " he tells me.... I'm like heck, ok! every good business man has gotta trust their badass worker. if they aint badass, you probably hired the wrong one! jerry is amazing hahah love it!

[@frank4532]

DP Help Matt out. If nothing else it will make some great content and you know you want too Jerry they ultimate operator. Proving once again somethings just get better with age Thanks for sharing 👍

[@georgehuff7919]

Agree not good advertisement for DP to have an employee with a pond that leaks....

[@gordiehattrick]

Jerry is the MAN!! Mr. Dozer extraordinaire!!!

[@bobfromtheband1]

Perfect job from Dirt Perfect and Gerry the Blade Runner. Not forgetting Mat and C K. Still loving the Intro Mike!!!

[@HalfCutGarage]

Nothin beats an ol boy on a dozer! Gonna be a beauty spot !

[@localcrew]

Hope those basement guys know how lucky they are. Don’t be surprised if they’re all like “”Hey Mike - we got this basement job coming up and we sure would like it if you’d dig it out for us. You’re bringing Jerry, aren’t you?” Cause Jerry rocks.

[@jaquigreenlees]

You could have just let Jerry use the 850 and dig the basement, he would have gotten it done. And yes, fix Matt's pond, but Matt pays for the diesel. :p

[@jwg19444]

👍I wonder if Jerry knows where the low or slow gear is on the 855. He's better at smoothing dirt than the cake decorators on baking competitions do with icing on cakes.

[@stoker7211]

Heck no! Matt has nothing to lose. That's not a wager, it's a dare.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...good job in difficult soil, stay safe..

[@budlvr]

I think Jerry LIKES the COLD ! Now to air condition the bulldozers for the heat of summer and Jerry will make you sell the skidsteer ! WAY TO GO JERRY !

[@w056007568]

Outstanding work from the team especially Jerry.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@franz357]

Hey DP, do ole' Jerry a favor : spend a few hundred $ in plexiglass, a few bolts and a door handle and spend a morning in the shop making a cab for the 850. That'll make for an awesome video and it'll keep ole Jerry from getting a cold ! ;-)

[@donbavol9672]

Cleanup after Jerry isn't using a skidsteer, garden rake or shovel. Just need a dustpan and small broom.

[@bobjacobs9521]

Jerry is the MAN, BUT MATT is a valuable employee that deserves a favor. Also would be a great video. I would like a video of you fixing Matts leaking pond. No doubt he will repay you DP, with some quality work. This was a good video, several machines, different jobs, good sense of humor among all and comraderie. That is what Midwest personalities are all about. From your neighbor in Illinois.

[@casycasy5199]

Jerry on a dozer doing finish work is pretty impressive and hitting grade off just skill. Better keep that man around and have him teach some knowledge to the other guys lol

I will say it again Jerry is the beat dozer operator I've ever seen. DP fix Matt's pond.

Dang can’t Jerry do any better than that ? LOL. Heck of an operator. He’s a master of the 850

[@rickster9993]

Don't any of you have and extra large wind breaker suit. I guarantee you if it's cold with the wind blowing and you're on top of a large commercial building, a wind breaker suit makes all the difference.

[@recon532002]

Always dirt perfect

[@mbhales]

Don't need a rock bucket when you have Jerry and a dozer. I remember back in the 60's and 70's (before excavators were a widespread thing), dozers where commonly used for basements and swimming pools and such. Much faster than a backhoe, which in those days would have been the other main choice. I was lucky to have been around when old-school operators were there to learn from.

[@eddieforce3550]

Jerry is awesome with that Dozer.

[@vincepond2413]

You guys have some awesome teamwork, you can tell by the quality at the job at the end.

[@jamesfranks545]

Cutting grade to within a 1/4" with a dozer that's intended for clearing huge tracts of land and digging lakes...boys that's a dozer operator right there. You can't do that by eye it's done by the feel of the machine and years of seat time.

[@Losttoanyreason]

You are monster DP forcing your minions to work in the Antarctic cold and winds while you are ensconced safely in the warm cab, LOLOL. Jerry is "over 9000" for sure. All those years of hard work show in the skill and quality of the work he does. Imagine current master dozer operator Jerry, supervising noob dozer operator Jerry all those years ago, LOLOL .

[@user990077]

I paused the video and went to do some stuff in the kitchen. When I got back to watching Matt still wasn't back. What's up with that. What's taking him so long?

[@greggb1416]

Re:@20:00’ish mark Matt on your grade check, 1/2in off...? Better have a talk with Jerry, he might be loosing his touch... LOL...! On second thought, that might not be a good thing to do... You guys made short work of that “dig out”, looks great. Thank you sir.

30:35 Matt makes it sound like the DP crew has never "I tell you what",... hit grade before. And it all happened because Jerry back drug Mike's cut with an 850 no less? That's amazing! Congratulations on hitting grade everyone,.... great job. Here's to hitting grade again from here on out. 🍻🍻🍻🍻

I’m sure when the work season closes they will fix Matt’s mud hole. Worksalot will need helpers for his house build so we could see on Matt’s channel the Coochie and Bobkitten moving dirt for friendship dues.

I have a question.. 120 vs 140 what are some things one does better than the other. Or what limitations does the 120 have vs the 140

[@DirtPerfect]

Good ? And both it good machines and have their place cover that in some upcoming videos thanks

[@evergreen7889]

@@DirtPerfect when we had our company we had a 160 hauled on a tag trailer. machine as decent. Theres sometimes we d rather have a 135 or 120 size machine other times we needed a 220 plus size. I think if your doing houseline construction, some clearing, and maybe some small site work a 120 to 160 size machine is good but if you get into bigger site development or clearing the bigger machines are worth it. but then again the hauling cost and permits make it a hassle in todays market a lot of guys are getting to 12 to 16 18 ton machines. and there holding value iron in that size range seems to hold value vs the 200 plus sizes. dozers we found a d5 to be perfect size our d3 was little small for some stuff and always had a backhoe loader. never bought a mini.. been thinking of getting back into it. but idk its tough market in the northeast. love the videos though.

I used to run a dozer for years, but keeping grade on a slope is really hard, especially when you don't have a tree or post for reference. Jerry is definitely the best I've ever seen. DP you also rock on getting those basement grades from way above on a slope. Also not an easy task. I'm already subscribed, so how about that pond?

[@CrimeVid]

What’s going on with people building houses in the eye of the wind ? houses were always built sheltered from the prevailing wind.

[@cathiwim]

They can put in a windbreak later. I guess they want the view.

[@NoPlanProjects]

So, Jerry can can do finer work with a 40K LB & 30 year old dozer than I can with a rake and shovel.

[@dirtfarmer7472]

Excuse me, but this wasn’t Jerry’s 1st rodeo

Maybe you should start off jobs by saying “I sure hope there isn’t a big buried pile of money in the way” you’re really good at jinxing yourself. May as well make it profitable.
