Busting the dam on a pond in preparation for demo with the 120 excavator

[@charleswelch249]

I remember this job. Jerry was pushing water and mud like he's done it for his day job for decades. Love watching the History Channel, Mike.

[@ep9360]

Love that intro music. THE ventures style. ❤amazing!

[@thomasbailey8306]

Its a blast draining Ponds. I like doing it. Especially when there as unsafe as this one. Great Video. The drone footage was Cool..

[@curtisfrease946]

This is how I got started watching KZbin, dam busting. LetsDig was to blame. Thanks Mike. HI GRANDMA!!

[@samcowart7564]

I see Dirt Perfect towing and recovery being needed this summer

[@dansevern3291]

Matt giving you that "what you talking about" look made the whole video. Thanks.

[@ppomm]

flash backs to the 6 year old me playing in the creek .. making dams just to breaking them up a bit later :) something hypnotizing about all that water cutting loose. thanks for sharing sir!

[@leol1682]

Like the video on busting the pond .

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@MrGoesBoom]

Always amazes me just how much water is in even just a dinky little pond like this one. Fun to watch it all rushin out though

[@doug9418]

Very mesmerizing, kept me😳glued. God bless. 🇺🇸

[@Jimmyfisher121]

I really enjoyed that video, so thank you Mike and Matt and Farmer Chris, for bringing us along was there any fish in the pond.

[@nevillewomersley7841]

I am glad to see you actually doing some work. I have enjoyed the last two videos much more than all that frivolity in the workshop!

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Looks great Mike, Matt could have 🏄‍♂️ surf down the hill🤣🤣

[@davidcummings9388]

Good to see you back in action,, pond-wise, that is.

[@brucehuff5566]

[@canman225]

When Matt yelled it was a lily pad it sounded like ceiling fan hahahahaha...thought that was your exotic plant for a second 😜

[@smjhobbies4527]

I absolutely love pond vids,especially, draining ponds.It would have been cool to see a time laps on the lowering of the water

Coolest dam breach yet. Thanks for sharing.

[@haydenuk02]

Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@dansullivan2954]

A lot more water in that pond than I would of thought. Well done.

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Y'all are like beavers, there's just one dam project right after another! Thank you, I'll be here all week. 😆

[@alexosborne5629]

You can't beat a good Dad joke !!! 😂

[@duaneayers6117]

I thought for a second that I was watching one of Chris's videos and that's because of the wet sloppy mud. Looks Great

[@slowlydimming4320]

It was interesting to watch the procedure digging the trench, good way to kill half hour!

[@gayle4804]

That seems like it would be a lot of fun

[@jeroen1836]

Nice to see drain all that water 👍

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike and Matt great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@andysukosd8177]

Cool video, love watching.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Mike and Matt 🇺🇲

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@paulmiller7396]

It is amazing (and jolting) to see places so rich with water. In arid western Colorado, that pond would be gold! America is indeed a vast, splendid place. Your videos are a testament to good intentions and hard work and you are always entertaining and instructive. Thanks.

[@jerrydavid5941]

Love to watch it brings me back to when I was younger and running equipment like that thank you for the video

[@dsdragoon]

I like watching you build a pond better, get to see how it's done right. Draining a pond shows what can go wrong when you do not build it correctly. Pond Building Forensics.

[@Bazza1973ify]

I have a vision of one day on one these pond drainings, Captain Kleeman flying past the camera on a surf board 😂

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol

[@robertvannicolo4435]

Mike gotta love when you make that last scoop that make the water flow out of the pond I’m sure sounds cool when you standing there even more then on video 👍

[@rick_b8s]

Best dam breach videjo ever love your content and the production values keep getting better all the time hoping for a full field tile plow video soon keep up the good work

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@terryrogers1025]

Looks like fun to me, that was a lot more water in that pond then one would think. That wasn’t a dam as much as it was a sieve! Thanks for the ride along.

[@pinwizz69]

Great job Mike. Always sad to see a pond go away but from farmer Chris's point of view doing it is cheaper than fixing it. Plus he gains more land to farm that'll increase his yields and make him more income. It'll even make it easier and more efficient tilling, planting and harvesting that section. Whenever you and Mr. Millinial work together it's like watching Rowen and Martin's Laugh In show. Ys never know who's going to show up and add to the comedy.

[@TheBlueberry606]

Looking gooder.

[@denistaramasso9724]

You and the 120 operate smooth and glass

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@carlhelmick7711]

Love that piano music at the end. Cool 😎👍

[@martymclamb5750]

A lot water . Nice looking pond to be in mess like it was.

[@willardnicholson8026]

Looks like a fun job great video 👍

[@randallnottingham799]

It’s hard to believe DP there’s that much water in there great video

[@keithkenny4576]

Where is the water flowing to

[@DirtPerfect]

Down

[@wwflguy]

Looks like a nice pond I'd be tempted to try to fix it after it's all drained

[@LoBeau53]

It don’t matter how old we get, it is still fun to drain mud puddles.

[@BWYinYang]

Jerry future project with his favorite toy.

[@metalartcustomsLLC]

Can’t wait to watch the updates on it

[@TheGingerGenius78]

Great video ! Amazing that dam still held so well with that amount of water leaking through ! Would love to see drone shot of where the water went through the woods etc ! Cheers guys !

[@spencer6764]

DP need more pond Draining videos that was Awesome 👌

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@brucemccain6339]

Well at least you stopped that leak!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol true

[@mischef18]

Was wait'n for a snapping turtle to give you the evil eye bro. Made for a fun start to this project anyway. Safe travels

[@jamesdiehl8690]

You had a bridge to come over on! You could shinny right over on the boom!

[@michaelmullins1290]

I was waiting for the water to come through earlier. Figured the leak would enhance faster. Nice upcoming project.

[@onryboy2264]

Matt if you had to go that bad there's a treeline just over the hill... lmbo

[@stashoski2675]

Good. Drain

[@genegustafson1665]

You should be in northern Wisconsin, we still have snow on the ground.

[@DirtPerfect]

Crazy

[@daveschmidt5713]

NYA is becoming a dam expert.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol

[@thomasdesmond2248]

No DP that faster you dig and stop talking on the phone. The faster it drains. Lol God bless

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

Are rocks compacted in with the clay not good base material ????

[@DirtPerfect]

Depends to be honest

[@Mopar-Pioneer]

@@DirtPerfect ok ta bud. Dirt and ground conditions are different here in Australia.

[@allensharlow7763]

Good job Mike, I’m thinking she’s going to drain pretty good👍👍👍😎😎😎😎🍮🍮🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️☀️

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk mike and crews👋👍 that dam was seaping pretty bad 😵 it would not of bin long before it would of slid away by itself and washed out the flow of water as you dug it out it must of washed a pretty good channel out between layers and hope you record the filling process ( chris ld18 did a good fill in a while back ) was a mess to he cleaned it and filled it over time to reclaim that little bit extra land back as pond was no longer required 👌 same here I guess but thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

[@karlwalton7687]

Can you say “ Flash Flood” lol that’s 😎

[@jamiewindsor7874]

You and Matt need your arait coveralls if arait don't make coveralls you can get carthart or walls

[@MatthewJRedmond]

No doubt demo is the best option for that one. The different dirt layers show up pretty well on camera and have to say I'm pretty sure there was atleast more clay in that dam than in MM's 😆. Another job well done DP 😁👍

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

9:22 that leaks very well might have been muskrat dens in the pond dam that later washed out and saturated further

[@keithwallington4966]

Wow did you see that mermaide and i think three frog men go down there🧜‍♀️🐸🐸🐸🌊

[@bobbydawson7706]

Impressive 👍👌❤️

[@firesurfer]

Would have been nice to see where it drains to with the drone.

[@DirtPerfect]

In the woods

[@firesurfer]

@@DirtPerfect Obviously. But where does that go..? Into a sink holllow, or does it make another stream going downhill? Doesn't really matter but might have been interesting for another minute of drone time.

[@mbeitzel2010]

Hey DP you should go back thru clips and get the best shot you got of the water flowing and have a print made of it and give it to Farmer Chris . Title it Farmer Chris's Water Fall Would make a nice gift and conversation piece for his office .

[@DirtPerfect]

👍

[@smjhobbies4527]

Just an idea oh, maybe you could use the Drone and follow the trail the water made through the woods so we could all see where it goes. For me that would be kind of neat it looked like you were headed that way at the end of the video with the Drone, but it didn't pan down to see the homemade River that is temporarily going through the woods. I just think it'd be really cool to see where it goes oh, I mean you can't follow it all the way to where it's another River but you know just to see how far it goes in the woods or whatever it would be neat.

[@davidbillings615]

Mike how are you liking your work slippers.

[@DirtPerfect]

Loving them

[@jasonderise60]

it is wild that you can hear the water rushing over the 120

[@stuartmorris4932]

Hi mike can u watch the video on the tile plow and look at the time 37.47 look at the plow there is a crack in the weld/paint on the house side

[@DirtPerfect]

I see nothing stay tuned

[@michaelleblanc3363]

DP I see that you are wearing your new shop slippers.

[@ramtuff2007]

good pond video

Yes it’s ground water!! NOW,! lol.

[@joemonroe3811]

Just so you know I drink my coffee every morning at 4 a.m. and I try to watch your videos and we don't have any new ones hardly you would make me really happy if I had one at least every day I know you're busy but you need to hire a new person just to do your videos so I can be happy in the morning thank you have a great day I'm just teasing

[@markpettit4945]

Still held a lot of water for a leaking dam about how old was the pond?

[@stevelalondejr2183]

Water flow look up "Cone of depression" something we Water Well Drillers sometimes deal with it kind of explains your funnel effect theory !

[@kenmccall8051]

Going to look good when done 🙂👍👌😎✌️🇺🇲

[@ZeroCarbDaddy]

At around 11:05 you can see a frog coming outta the dirt and taking off to the pond. Crazy how crawdads and frogs caused this leak,

[@jmit5650]

I enjoy the videos great job, I was enjoying the earth moving then you turn the water loose, then I had to pause video and go pee, moving water gets me every time.

[@hastingshayandtreefarm4402]

Looks like the 120 is holding together nicely since the boring and new pins I was curious how long it would last.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup

[@ToddKing]

It looks like Mike is wearing his new Ariat shop slippers and they look like hell already.
