[@dennislira5420]

I pray the surgery is a success, and you beat this.

[@robh.8214]

Between you, Kleeman, and Matt, I have fallen in love with the area you guys are in! The landscape, scenery, and friendliness of the people on your channels just make the area look awesome!

[@Manoffire260]

I liked the “real-time sound” during the high speed action. No music, no commentary 8:00

[@robinredman5192]

Mike, at 72 I can tell you, the pain only gets better😁!! The rust years sneak up on ya and smack ya in the face sometimes...hehehehe. Thanks for the vidjas and continue blessings my friends. Nice choreography in the time lapse. John here, photographing the beauty of the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee, y'all.

[@billvandorn5332]

WOW! This is absolutely phenomenal and one can truly respect and appreciate the depth watching Aaron work on the inside going up the berm.

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Now, that's what you call a; Farm Pond! Love it. Can't wait the see the cattle watering part! I've never seen that! Thanks Mike & Aaron! Lee

[@emtodd859]

I almost spilled my coffee when I saw Mike slip during the time lapse. Dangerous work! I didn’t know machines could operate at those angles.

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Several close calls, DP was about 2 roll overs from the bottom on the backside!

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

You saw that too, eh? That uphill track had some slack under the bottom rollers also on the back side in the beginning.🧐😳😬🫣☠️! Cheers Terry

[@JohnfromEngland]

DP Arron needs a Pay raise because he no longer is a Welder that helps but is An Operator/Welder

[@jeffhenson1994]

I CANT BEE MORE PROUD OF MBTS LOOK AT HIM PUSHING DIRT

[@martineastburn3679]

Caught with a hand foot and friend in a cookie Jar ! What a show it was. Lots of tracks today trying to cover up the trail so Chris can't find you, so it seems. Clever. !

[@ronbianchi7545]

Aaron your skills are getting better every day. great job!

[@roberthocking9138]

I can’t believe the angle that Hyundai was on going up the inside of the wall. I hope he’s got a good back rest on the seat !!😬🇦🇺🦘

[@WombleUK]

I was more concerned with Mike going across the back of the Dam at nearly 45⁰ on the John Deere 😮

[@maryclaydon1474]

Another dirt perfect job. Watching you guys is like listening to a symphony. You are both so intense with each other. Love watching you guy, really cheers me up.❤❤❤

[@Silverhornet81]

DP sending all those crumbs down the inside slope after MBTS spent all that time cleaning it up.. It looked good for a minute! 😅😅

[@keithnewby7949]

Mike and Aaron absolutely awesome work good to see guys who take pride in there work and the banter between you two is brilliant 👍

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Great job guys, the pond turned out great and getting done in 4 days....it's quite impressive. Always enjoy your videos.

[@everestyeti]

Can't wait to see the finished article, going to be interesting with the cattle feeder. That little Hyundai was like a mountain goat, the way it was building up the dam wall was really good. 👍

[@thebear5454]

For only being a four day project this pond was built with super human effort. Kudos to you Mike and Aaron.

[@williammurfin6354]

Don't you just the Gunner in Aaron!!! That dang laser beeper!!! Dam, the ponds looking great.

[@richardellis3141]

Yeap, MBTS is getting better with that dozer. nice work

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, The ponds looks awesome! A cattle drinking bar? This should be interesting! Thumbs up! Stay safe. Jim

[@janieweyers6230]

Im impressed that either one of those machines make it straight up the embankment.

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

I hope the customer's cattle all can swim! If they come down to drink and it's muddy or they lose their footing, they will need to apply that skill. That's one deep pond! You could bury half of Derby in that hole! If the customer wanted a little pond outside his cabin to sit and watch the cattle, he may be a bit stunned at it's size and depth. It's starting to look like the campground job. On the bright side, cutting back that high spot got you enough dirt to finish everything up nicely. The 850J sure is LOUD! Wish I could lip read, ha! Whatever job you guys tackle, rest assured it will be big, beautiful and perfect! Jeez Aaron, the 100 is just about at max peak before sliding back down that bank! It makes a fast retreat when you reach the top! And the J is about 2 rollovers from the bottom on the backside, hope DP is leaning to the left hand side! Well, that's just my observations on the finishing touches and maybe it all has to do with the camera's depth perception. Anyway. nice way to spend the last 4 days, thanks guys for the entertainment. always fun! P.S. Closing remarks, DP says he hopes those cattle can swim, ahh haaa!

[@paulprigge1209]

Yeah, that’s what I was wondering why they didn’t put the pipe through there. And fix a place for the cattle to drink .

[@machinemoverman4614]

That pond looks really deep! Good looking job.

[@RandyOwens-v3c]

I need Mike and Aaron to come to Oklahoma to level my back yard they do a awesome job lol

[@workwithkevin]

Aaron has turned into a smooth operator in a hurry. Nice job.

[@johnbeam-d3v]

You guys do fantastic work. Really enjoy the pond builds. Great job my friend. Tanks for the ride.

[@johnb.2936]

That Hyundai Dozer almost sounds like it's electric driven. Super quiet. It doesn't seem like a good fit as Aaron's Dozer because he's so noisy. 😎

[@dljones61]

You do have a point there 😁

[@dljones61]

I’ve watched you guys build a lot of lakes-ponds but I don’t ever remember you doing the side hill shuffle and slide like you were doing on the back side. 😳 must be Velcro on that seat 👍🏻

[@allensharlow7763]

The pond build, is just about complete, and looking Amazing, very nice job Gentlemen ❤❤👍👍😎😎🙏🙏🍮🍮

[@grizzlyrideemwet1698]

A one year later picture or video would be really cool to see if the customer didn't object.

[@daver6828]

Looks like no joke Arron Pope is becoming quite a good operator… !!! 😅😅😅😅😅

[@johnroberts8475]

I'm shocked at the depth and it looks amazing guys, nicely done. 👌

[@jenniffer9034]

Good morning Mike and Aaron Good job on the pond building Mike you sound like you have a nasal cold! Get well soon! Have a blessed day

[@wilfredmicks4768]

with Aaron in hole it looks like a remote control toy that he is using great shot keep up the great work

[@stevenclaeys6252]

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

[@lynnlutjen3819]

Man that going to be one heck of a hole of water! Would make great catfish pond. Love it ❤👍👍👍👍

[@tommymann69]

Farmer Chris can afford to give you a few bolts for as much as you do for him😂😂😂😂

[@garymessina1609]

Awesome job Aaron is getting better all the time with a dozer great video thanks Mike and Aaron very enjoyable

[@richardphelan8414]

That's steep and deep ,That's a good lick on this project well done you two ,good camera Arron showing us the bowl depth and angle

[@ArnieD17]

Little pond with a huge dam.

[@GregoryYancer-on2ns]

Nothing like a little pucker power in the morning. 😂

[@danielhylton4675]

It amazes me how you can hang over the edge like that. No worries about fallen over the edge right ........wheeew lol

[@daviddziegielewski653]

Liked, been subscribed and this is my comment.

[@lowellstevenson9162]

That's a nice looking pond. ❤

[@TheBest-ob1kj]

Oh boy, it sure is coming along ❤

[@mischef18]

I'll put my hand up and say I'm one of the single digits still watching guys. Great video bye the way bro. Safe travels. Ken.

[@BryonBarros-zu2bk]

I don’t know how many a mile I walked with a beeper rod. So much I bought a top con just like the one you have when I retired to use around the house. 💪💪💪💪❤️🇺🇸

[@ramtuff2007]

good pond video

[@UK-Expat-in-USA]

I'm glad at the end of the video you were explaining the plan for a water trough, I was think while watching the only animal that could handle that slope were mountian goats, I been around cows on a dairy farm, and they are not the most dextrous of animals - another good video, thank you Mike/Aaron!

[@lanecazes]

I sure hope we get to see you put in the drain and overflow as well as seeding the area! Love to watch you and Aaron work…you both work very well together!!

[@leighswogger-pq9ml]

This is supposed to be a cattle pond, right? All they need now is a high dive board they will have it made. 🤣Lol

[@rhondasweeney7271]

D.P. Aaron, the pond looks amazing 👏 Thanks for sharing ✨️ 😊

[@robertwilson93]

Watching Aaron reminds me of the time I was driving a cat d4,spreading topsoil on batters on the edge of motorways. I had a pyramid shaped cushion so my butt would sit level in the seat.

[@coolumesque]

Oh my God! That is one huge deep dam that will last forever. I thought at first it was only going to be a small shallow pond a few feet deep in a small clearing in the forest.

[@steveleverett2644]

That is a deep hole! Looking awesome ❤

[@Bman2020]

Now that’s a hole looks great never (HEARD get it ) of a cattle wall looking forward to that one great watch guys 👍👋🇨🇦

[@randydobson1863]

Hi Mike & Aaron & it's is Randy and i like yours video is Cool & Thanks Mike & Aaron & Friends Randy

[@Matt_H2O]

Man that is deep - Dirt Perfect Deep!! 👍🚜

[@rickcham7781]

How deep is that pond? 30ft?? Have you made one that deep before? They are going to have to put life vests on the livestock.😅 Huge transformation. Nice work guys.

[@johnkruse4068]

Good job guys. Pay raise for Arron!

[@glennspreeman1634]

ang, you and Aaron do quite the 'dozer dance'!!

[@foxie-w1v]

Steep sides for a stock pond.

[@joebacarella2829]

Wow, that`s a big hole you boys dug out, you got it tracked in real nice, can`t wait to see the overflow and final grading, be well friends.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Lovely work, Mike.

[@buckwhitetail1876]

Watching the 850 working across a slope makes me pucker every time. Very steep!

[@Go2scout]

15:40 "Pucker factor" about an 8. Great job Bud!!!

[@36oldsaussiecoupe]

Nice job you two, those inside and back side faces, very close to pucker squidge angle decent slope 👍👍

[@rejej200c]

Wow it must of been a trick of the light but I’m sure I glanced a pucker moment boys but not a bad looking dam ,but might need some anti slip slippers for those cows or some floaties lol

[@terryfromsouthcarolina4601]

Yep! That uphill track had space between it and the bottom rollers. It got my attention.

[@dennis2376]

The dam side seems higher then the wood line, pretty cool. Thank you and have a great week.

[@myk55501]

Hey, That kind of steep on the backside of the damn how you going to maintain that you probably need triple the distance just to level it out enough so you get a mower in there. That's why in Florida you don't want to be on a pond or lake or any of that stuff cuz more than likely it's a sinkhole. The next thing is it draws in mosquitoes and we have mosquitoes down here that will carry away a dog.

[@myk55501]

Well that when you tell your customer that mowing 1 to 2 times a year will let saplings take hold behind the dam which in 10 to 12 years will cause the damn to start leaking that's why you want to mow the grass regularly it was me with that property I would have just put a pool in and put a cattle waterer it's a lot easier than building a pond. I'd rather build a pool in the cabin then they don't have a mosquito problem either

[@doritleis2773]

When two himself to understand and can Work with one another, to confess great Work in short Time. 💪👌

[@MrGhostLt]

Mike, to bad cameras have problem showing height and how steep it is .Knowing the limitations of the camera. The shots was good. Keep up the good work :P

[@steveminton8329]

Yep, video definitely showed how steep that was an excellent job as always

[@richarbrythom4912]

Tell Aaron he has to fill the pond with two 5 galon buckets 🤣😂🤣😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@tristardiggin]

Yeah buddy! Y’all knocked that one slap dab out!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@jamiewindsor7874]

That John Deere dozer shure is going to look good upside down

[@larsdaun1518]

you need to take care of your cameras. so we dont miss any good videos☺

[@daviddedicke2074]

❤❤❤❤ i have never seen you almost flip a dozer over as much as on this job, nice work DP.😊

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@johnsmith-xr6qy]

This livestock pond is really deep & the road is "skinny". I can see cattle wearing the road down to a trail around the pond. So, you did a really good job. I hope it holds up well.

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshines! Oh be careful DP! You slipping on that slope in the time lapse was scary! Great video! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Gonna be very nice guys. Great work.

[@OldSchoolDNA]

This video had some pucker up moments..lol😂😂 Awesome transformation from start to now… Great video.

[@rayevans2052]

Question: If the cows 🐄 get in the pond, are they going to be able to get out considering the steepness of the edges because that looks like a really deep pond?

[@heatherlane9270]

Once that 'hole' was dug all I could think was - the animals will drown for sure - thank goodness the farmer is going to do something about that (Farm girl of old here.) Huge pond dam for this one and care needed whilst forming the sides. Looks great though.

[@WombleUK]

OH my god, the slope on the back of that dam has got to be right on the limit of how steep that Dozer can go without tipping. That looks proper squeaky bum time sitting in the Dozer at nearly 45⁰ 😮

[@nigelhales874]

Good morning arran& Micky from England great video 📷 again I enjoy your channel and chat and humor

[@fransinyard891]

I can't help but laugh every single time I see that spoon! Lol! Much love and respect from Henderson Ga USA

[@ronbianchi7545]

The land owner got one heck of a great pond😊

[@roseannvolrath2271]

Good morning my friends ❤️🌞😊

[@northernliving2387]

Bye Arron it was nice to see you 👋. Take care..

[@robertwilson93]

Aaron looked like a little Marguerite leading a band walking with the depth stick.

[@keithwallington4966]

good job guys i think the cows will skin diving lessons for that pond 🤣🤣🤿✌👍

[@hastingshayandtreefarm4402]

Looking good and the antics .

[@terryrogers1025]

At about the 13:30 mark, if i remember correctly, Aaron was displaying a great job of back drag grading and in other places as well, nice job Aaron, Mike, as I was watching you filling the back slope with the 850J I was observing the angle of slope by looking at what I perceive as straight growing trees contrasting to the angle of the dirt intersecting it and it looked righteously close to 40-45 degrees in angle of slope, how close is my guess? Nice job gentlemen, enjoyed watching.

[@user-Mikecat0800]

Would be great to see some of your projects after they have been finished for a few months - show them in action like the turtle drain a few months back

[@NAMCBEO]

@29:31 Mike was at 43.7356 on the spoon and 98.657 on the pucker, new seat on order !

[@staceyacre]

😂😂😂

[@MitchGaar]

Great footage of 85j on slope! Good stuff!

[@dukegoodno585]

Hi there, Nice job on that pond there commander, Looks lit it wont take but a few 5 gallong buckets of water to fill er up.
