Close Call: Trucking Disaster Narrowly Averted

[@splatterize]

Logger Wade describing Mikes' tile plow as a "Pipe Knife" was GOLD!

[@andrewruble7706]

When I worked in the field doing installs we used to leaved notes inside the customer panel on the side of the house. When you went to one it always made you laugh. Nice to see the equipment up and running and spring must be upon us.

[@terryrogers1025]

Always enjoy the moving days, nice job of handling the trucking getting it in and out of some tight places. Thanks for the update.

[@laceitup1]

The writing is on the oil filters😂 Nice job Aaron! I love that you can start your equipment up even though it's been sitting for months. Shows that you take care of it.

[@robertwilson93]

Nice to feel the sun on your back,that cat has got a lovely open air cab just the job for those frosty mornings.

[@Chaplain_GM]

It's Good Seeing The machinery Awaken From Hibernation!

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Glad to see ya back on the job! I agree stop sign and speed limits are just “suggestions “.

[@stevendegonia]

Man, when the jakes rumble through those pipes, it sends a nice thrill through me! 😁 Now when the exhaust is ripping through the pipes, and rumbling and Roaring out as that diesel engine works under load, it fills the ears and heart with sensations that are so pleasant, they send calming vibes throughout, relaxing the stresses away! I Adore the sounds of The Mack, The Puppy Dog! 💖

[@rhondasweeney7271]

There is nothing like getting preped and ready for the next job. 😊

[@Vickie-Bligh]

That was a scary moment. When the latch flipped up on our camping utility trailer, that frightened me, I cannot imagine with a low-boy and dozer coming loose. Wow, that's a trek to that field. Hope it goes well. Thanks for sharing, Mike.

[@jrbrumley9334]

Mike, you mentioned that unhooking the hoses is hard to do one-handed but I can't believe how much you do during most of your videos one-handed. Many of the things you do one-handed most people have difficulty doing using two hands. Nice video and thanks for taking us along. J.R.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jamesfurlong8727]

It’s Springtime and the twin pipes are roaring! I could listen to them for quite a time!

[@haroldfoust]

Good morning, glad to see you all back April, 17th.

[@michaelhuhn90]

Good way to start a fresh new season with equipment where it needs to be. Keep up the good work Mike!

[@ChrisDevismes]

Vid hit North Wales at 12:00 Noon, if that's of any interest. Has become lunch time viewing. Thanks DP and Aaron.

[@robertlacour8338]

Good morning DP and MBTS!!!! Good see you out of the shop. Wish the weather was warmer for you guys but it still beats being in the shop!!!! Thanks!!!!!!

[@klsc8510]

DP and Arron, you just have to love those nice "wide" Indiana roads! Great job on getting everything moved!

[@stephsmith6421]

Great dolly work Aaron. The pull points on the dozer make great camera platforms

[@michaelkoon8371]

Love the sound of the puppy dog exhaust cool lookin to

[@raypeoples]

I thought i saw that miss step on the RGN hook up and said nah he edited that part out and didn't miss step, well feels good that you did show it

[@Ramona57-TX]

All the toys are back in town. Looking forward to the upcoming season

[@georgebryant2940]

Look forward to another great and profitable season.

[@brucehuff5566]

Great video as always. The D4 didn't give you a hard time starting. Stay safe

[@GregoryYancer-on2ns]

Changed things up a little today watching you guys getting ready for a new season. Had doughnuts with my coffee. Lol. Can't wait for new videos of this year's adventures. MBTS, awesome maintenance on the machines.

[@danielpullum1907]

That's part of the job the customers don't count on..... But it's gotta be done. Hope you have a good year.

[@CMDSR]

Hot dang getting ready to dig in the dirt. Come on 2024 season.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

always great when the big green mean machine is back out and ready to work🙂

[@KenFullman]

Just a piece of trivia for you. 38:13 Just did a calculation converting Gallons to litres then the local cost of diesel at the pump then converting pounds sterling to US Dollars. Turns out that $171.72 worth of diesel would have cost you $332.73 in the UK at todays prices.

[@TracyHarrell-o3l]

New T-Shirt idea DIRT PERFECT, LSS ( long story short ) love it.

[@MrNoodle8185]

It would be cool to see C&C do restoration on that D4.

[@isaacsims6203]

Wow that MACK sounds so good☺️

[@willb3018]

It REALLY does!

[@jg6142]

Good morning Mike & Aaron

[@Wolf-hd9ke]

I think it is safe to say that you two have become my favorite KZbin channel to watch. Along with the Millennium Farmer, it just brings back memories of my younger years. 👍

[@natecampbell4708]

I always enjoy when MBTS can get a in a dig to DP 😀. On the subject of the pull loops possibly taking out a mailbox, I suggest that you just use a chain to tie them together when you're transporting it (?). Oh, & I'm sure you won't forget to fuel up the 850.

[@steveleverett300]

Great video. Aaron done some great videoing in this one. The old Mack sounds strong and good❤❤

[@gerardcullen5131]

Yeah love the sound of that Mack😊

[@curtdawe]

Steve, how true this is! I've said it before and I'll echo the comments here. The Mack has one mighty mean growl ... like an angry bull! LOL!

[@tedshaner750]

Love his California stops at the stop sign. Officer Hoover should do a driving clinic next time rather than a tie down and securement clinic.

[@chuckpreston4981]

I was thinking of asking if he got his CDL in the Bay area...

[@jeffpage7815]

Paint the part of pin that lets you know it is not locked a bright color..

[@Histandard2011]

Aaron, you do a great job with the camera. A lot of people do NOT consider jumping in and out of the lead vehicle, setting up to get all the great shots and then off to the next shot and walk 100's of feet backward, not fall and still get great video shots. My hat off to you.

[@kirk467]

Yeah, that was all snow there! I didn’t realize that the road was that close and Aaron was trucking all the debris along the river! Looks different because no snow now!

[@stevencroon]

And glad to see you here as well! Enjoy the show its always good😀😀😀😀

[@billclisham8668]

It's officially spring now that all the toys are back out and riding to go !

[@clivesheppard8432]

You must clean the Mack's windscreen ok? I just spent 20 mins scrubbing my laptop screen when the dots on it were actually dead flies on your windscreen on the video! lol. Love the videos Mike and Aaron - keep it up. Oh, And tie a knot in your handkerchief to remind you to put the lock pin in on the trailer hitch ok?

[@kennethwalker2806]

When I started watching your channel I think you only had 65000 subscribers. I still love your videos. Keep up the great work Mike.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy appreciate that

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Thanks for the video on the Equipment Hauling in Février and we are in April and you are going in vacation in Marsh .

[@hydraulic-hum]

moving equipment is always nice to watch, thanks for sharing..

[@garymessina1609]

Good way to start the new season great video thanks Mike and Aron

[@Sowhat-u6f]

Maybe fabricate a removable cover for the tile plow opening. Something small that could be just dropped in place to cover the hole, then removed.

[@prestonvaughn2078]

Just a heavy duty hinged flap. Stays in place when backing up off trailer but stays flipped up when tile is feeding thru it. Just make sure it is oiled/greased!

[@robertquast9684]

Put a hinged metal flapper on the tile plow. Our smaller pull type plow has one

[@prestonvaughn2078]

I commented same thing.

[@justinwiatrek1864]

I’m impressed with how fast MBTS can run with a camera in front of the Mack

[@martingillard6572]

feed your tie down chains through the loops of the cables on the blade and it will stop them from taking out mailboxes :)

[@curtdawe]

Mike, those attachment points on the 850J are great for chaining her down for a trip! Plus, in this video, there's no trouble to see how good maintenance affects a machine. The D4G just came to life like you parked her the night before!

[@charlesswhitlock]

I enjoy the J a lot, but I hope we get to see the B doing some serious pushing this season. I like old equipment that can still hold its own :)

[@jackdawg4579]

I dont think i have ever seen a low loader like yours in Australia, all those i have seen are rear loading with small wheels on the back of the trailer to get the deck height down, and fixed ramps that drop down for loading over the back wheels. It must be some sort of regulatory thing, because yours looks a heck of a lot simpler and easier to load!

[@RA-II]

You two are a great team together!!

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Let the new year begin! Watching you fix those rollers should make some good videos! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim

[@donanything6816]

Love the sound of that truck. Thanks for the video. Now I'm off to the shop to try out the new spool gun, makes me happy just thinking about it. 😃

[@thatdave86]

It was noticed when you backed into the trailer, looked a bit skewed, but swing that this was a couple of months back it would be worth commenting !

[@dennis2376]

I knew puppy dog would fire up, I have faith in the old girl. Yep the 210 cab needs to be swept out so it is ready for this year. :) Thank you and have a great day.

[@CharlesSmith-ty2ce]

Thanks Guys 😊

[@petertrunfio8445]

Maybe spray paint that handle orange so you don’t forget to lock it in place in the future?

[@georgehughes8698]

Might be a good way to usr Aaron's can of bright yellow paint, so he quits trying to paint Bubba dump with it.

[@johnaikema1055]

as a Canadian, "gloomy wet and cold" "=? regarding winter.

[@dalebailey1844]

You said no one stole the plow. I m shocked that you can leave your trailers and trucks and equipment sitting in your yard and sill have batteries or tires or tools in the boxes. I have had to hire security guards and 6 ft fence with electrified upper wires to keep everything we own. Have A Great Day.

[@edholst1992]

Who doesn’t love The jake on with those pipes

[@richardhainsworth5415]

paint the area red when it unlocked

[@robertdonaldson6584]

Nice light bar.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Mike, thanks for posting. This video demonstrates just how darned lucky you are! With Aaron forgetting to lock the trailer and traveling up and down County roads without the light bar activated until you fueled up at the Derby market. MBTS was videoing you all the time and didn't remind you either! PS: I don't think any commercial driver would miss the circle check on the tires and think hitting the tires with your hand would be as effective as a hammer. Officer Hoover must have been on vacation and you are a lucky guy!

[@dansbrown1313]

I do like watching your videos though.

[@richardgenovese3313]

Nice start! Great to see the 850J on-site with the new enhancements to the blade. May I suggest you run your blade tie-down chains through the lower loop of the cable straps to support them in transit.

[@markrich6657]

I kid you not... Aaron has a natural ability with camera and shots he's selected. Please give him a 👍 from me. And Mike your videos should be snapped up by a TV company. 100% pure entertainment and enjoyment. Banter between you and Aaron priceless, totally natural. Brilliant😊 MARK uk

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Someone was watching out for the DP crew with the unlocked pin! As for the cables on the dozer blade, run the chain through the loop, that'll keep them from swinging out. Any day with no mishaps is a good day!

[@carterjoshua79able]

Mike, order you some Milton 5 in 1 air quick connects for your trailer. Very easy one-handed operation, and they couple to every type of air fitting.

[@AbesNbacon]

Happy Birthday Aaron. Hope you enjoy yourself.

[@rudyfisher7660]

Are you if you need to? You can take a couple of pieces about a bunch of cord and take from one cable to the other cable and keep them flopping. I mean, that'd be quick and easy thing to do. And you wouldn't have to worry about him going over knocking over a mailbox

[@BuckMasterNorm]

Thanks

[@jamesfoulger2098]

The Jake brake and those stacks are beautiful music

[@daveandkathynagoda6359]

When you take care of your equipment like you do, they will take care of you. 😉👍

[@robertwilson93]

That's a nice big boat anchor use just lifted off that flatbed mike.

[@nycat7906]

For the cables how about using a chain to connect the 2 sides pulling the cables into the middle. It will keep them from flapping and out of the way when not needed. BTW don't let your DOT buddy see you not securing the dozer at 4 points. Attachments like the blade is separate. The feds haven't made any changes to it yet. Just FYI

[@Damoinion]

Had just put a question about your new boots when you mentioned them! Deleted question and posted this.

[@randycharest4507]

I ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO DIRT PERFECT 😊

[@nancygoodman8273]

A little you say? Lol it's April 17th when I'm seeing this. So enjoy your videos,even if they're not in line.😉👏

[@robdeaton9910]

DP you need to have a check list right by the controls back on the trailer 😊, that was a close call. Aaron did a great job on filming from the service truck.😊

[@JayMcGinness574]

Looking forward to the coming videos but I sure do like the shop stuff! Makes for a good mix to keep it interesting. Hope you hit 300,000 soon. You deserve it. Camera work and editing has really improved and doesn't get the credit you and Aaron deserve making these while still doing actual work! Great Job to All.

[@karenfaber7049]

Yay! New season!! Excited to see Jerry and all your adventures! Keep 'em coming DP!!

[@wilfredmicks4768]

good to see that Officer hover didn't pull you over for a surprise just for the fun of it and see that

[@stevemitchell6821]

Could have been a fatal mistake. He probably had Letsdig on his mind.

[@1944chevytruck]

winter still!

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

I noticed that you didn't show setting the pin.

[@davidduvall4655]

For those pull loops swinging around you could put a ring on the center top of the blade. For the short term use s ratchet strap to pull them together in the center.

[@mischef18]

Great to see you guys out of the shop getting ready to play in the dirt bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@Fordrust3d]

A friend of mine's dad used to run a late 80's or early 90's Freghtliner road tractor with a studio sleeper, 96 inch i think. He had custom fuel tanks on each side that fit snuggly between the steer and forward rear axle. He said he could carry just shy of 1000 gallons of fuel between the two. Stopped running it about 1998. I don't want to think about the fuel bill each fill up back then or in today's money! $$$$$$$

[@Fordrust3d]

998.5 gallons just before fuel spilled out the cap, lol

[@OldSchoolDNA]

Those exhaust stacks really come alive when the Jake breaks kick in. 😂 Talking about a D4 upgrade, I may be wrong but I thought C&C Equipment just recently refurbished and painted a D6 that had decent hours on it.

[@ArnieD17]

Pretty sure donations accepted.

[@tomcommander6670]

Nice sounding rig!

[@joycefuller9177]

Good video that ahows how much work it is to get aet up on a job.

[@nathanscott7910]

If the roads here in North Carolina were as narrow as the roads where you live there would be head on collisions and side swipes every time two vehicles are going in opposite directions.

[@charlesroberts6965]

Looking forward to seeing you guys kick off the season with some more amazing projects... Appreciate you sharing your day with us 😎👨‍🔧🛠️🔧😇🙏🇺🇸

[@mrc109]

What are the pro's and con's of purchasing a non-6-axis blade on your next dozer investment?

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike and Aaron great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@johnschneider3082]

DP I don’t know what year that truck is but it sure sounds sweet, burns clean!

[@StatenCooper-ss5ru]

Love your videos and the truck she really sounds great.tell arron he makes a good friend

[@colin3246]

DP seeing that field pipe flopping about in the bucket of the 210 reminded me of the time you threw the snake at Aron.

[@prestonvaughn2078]

... then Aaron had to smell it while it cooked laying against the exhaust!

[@ThomasSmith-fz6wq]

Awesome video guys.

[@tda2806]

Time to paint the handle red!
