Thanks Mike - appreciate you making us part of it!

[@JayMcGinness574]

Fun with the son! What a lucky guy you are and Gunner for having you as a Dad. Pond build is looking awesome and Arron, well what can you say. He is always entertaining! I bet its good to work with him.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@artm5294]

I think Bubba Dump must be one of the best investments you have ever made. Love to see and hear it at work. 🤗 🇨🇦

[@ronaldheit196]

Knowing Arron no turtles were harmed during the filling in of the old pond. He's definitely a friend of turtles.

[@carolotto1219]

I hope so!

[@dankreoger611]

About 42:40 the turtle headed for the river, while DP was running the dozer.

[@dansbrown1313]

Is it Turtles or Beatles?

[@doritleis2773]

The Pond to Finish. And then great Fun by the Racing. A Happy Day 👍👌

[@JohnRobbfl]

That Case 140 must be exceeding all expectations because I don't recall a single "I wish we had the 210 here" comment on this job, and you've moved a lot of dirt.

[@ronpeacock9939]

Not only that but we've seen the 120 on Kleeman's channel more than this one. I think he's finally found that replacement for the old girl.

[@darkrevenger04]

He said it a few videos ago when talking about stacking the brush pile before starting to burn.

[@donashsr.9465]

Needs to do something about the squeak on the case

[@williamuskoski1385]

@@ronpeacock9939120 isn’t going anywhere. Just wants another new hoe for everyday stuff

[@mischef18]

Yep all made for great viewing guys and thanks for taking us along to the track bro, been a good 40 years since I last went to watch a race like that. Safe travels. Ken.

[@DMAN10]

Your bond with Gunner is awesome. You of all people know how important it is to treasure these times. The lake is looking great. Careful, or all your customers are gonna want their ponds/lakes stocked with fish on completion. 😂Thanks for sharing DP!

[@larryk4146]

Time with Gunner is what is important starting when my son was about 7 we would go to the local NASCAR track every Sat. and a few of the big ones over the years. In the 2000's he got into watching tractor and truck pulling he is 40 and I am 70 now we still try get to as many pulls as we can

[@allensharlow7763]

The Lake looks great Guys, and the old pond is no more❤😎😎👍👍🍮🍮

[@simplicitydesigns]

That look on Gunners face during the feature looks like you may have an expensive endeavor in your future, Mike. NIce run, Jeff!

[@doritleis2773]

The Pond Work Finish. And then great Fun by the Racing. A Happy Day. 👍👌

[@Deborah1Craftygal]

You don’t realize how big the little pond was until you start trying to fill it in.😮

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Job cleaned up nicely. Now we have to wait and see if MBTS has to put a snorkel on the 850 to get it back home. One of the biggest tall tales I heard was of a ship in the gulf that got stuck on a sand bar during an unusually high tide. Ended up buying two old junk dozers, putting snorkels on them and cleared the sand bar while wearing scuba equipment. I heard the story secondhand from a friend of the equipment dealer that sold the dozers. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@skipholmes9040]

Doing things with your son is great. These times he`ll never forget. I still remember going to the local race tracks with my dad. The memories are awesome.

[@randyhughes5160]

When he said clean the bucket off I thought you were going to just crush the little bucket hahaha

[@user-jx5eq8nv9g]

Dirt Go Kart racing is really fun. I raced starting at 40 years old till I was 45. Won many races and 4 track Championships. It was a blast. One year I ran Senior Stock and Stock Heavy and won both. FYI the biggest thing to win is to set your kart up right. As loose as possible without spinning is the key.

[@farmerchris1]

Farmer Chris mental note, combine trap set!! Good thing I don’t farm there.

[@johnunsicker7440]

I was just going to say DP towing and recovery just another trap for Farmer Chris combine. LOL

[@johnbeck845]

Pretty sure farmer Chris has sink hole PTSD🤷🏻‍♂️🤣🇺🇸

[@Crewsy]

He wants you to know it’s there and has stumps buried in it Chris. That way you’re not tempted to convince the Matt(?) to let you farm that area.

[@charlesroberts6965]

Epic day putting some final touches on the lake project... she's coming together quite nicely and yet another amazing job fellers..just wondering what's coming next as fall approaches. Appreciate the awesome content and appreciate you taking us along.😎🇺🇲🛠️🧑‍🔧🚜🔧🛻

[@bfcmik]

The videos are only just into summer still. The post production takes way longer than the filming!

[@markosborne2650]

Great video Mike, Aaron, Gunner, and Geoff!!

[@CareyHauck-d6w]

Probably the most amazing Dirt Perfect episode yet! Amazing how you created a floating cap over the pond. It was riveting watching the track hoe and dozer floating over the old pond. Fantastic job!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@johnmckown7742]

I look forward to your show each day. You have the best show on youtube. It is light hearted and you make it fun to watch. Thank you for the good job. I am a 78 year old Texas man and I always feel younger after your shows. They put a smile on my face.

[@heatherlane9270]

Old pond in undercover work! What you can't see doesn't exist just ask Farmer Chris :) Nice work on the new pond, it will make a great spot for walking track and relaxation. Sprint car racing - love it and well done Geoff.

[@garymessina1609]

Great work and great fun in one video thanks Mike and Aaron and Gunner

[@billblock8090]

Mike I know Jerry is the dozer "master" but you do a pretty good imitation. Great looking lake. Have a great day.

[@henkweurding3339]

OK. Now the photo in your intro makes sense, concerning FUN with your family standing next to that dirt racer. Nice video and get ready to spend some money on a junior race car. DP junior got quite excited! Thumbs up.

[@dennymarreesr6187]

As usual another great video! Geoff has picked up the pace in that car! Great job Geoff!!

[@gotago3109]

Any day at the track is a good day!

[@timschaefer7457]

you got that right especially when slinging dirt

[@Onlyyota]

Yessir

[@jimwhite7607]

Bloomington glad to see a good crowd in the stands

[@Ricky-r4r]

That was cool thank you boys!!!

[@jamesmueller2754]

From one sprint car lover to another, thanks for showing that

[@carrollfranklin9807]

Often wondered why he didn't show sprint car . It runs on dirt !

[@UK-Expat-in-USA]

Things are looking good and that pond filled in nicely, thanks for including the racing it looked cool, without those big rear spoiler those racing cars would have never made the corners!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Well done on capping that mud. That was a challenge. Looked like so much fun at the Sprint. My husband's grand-niece and her fiance are in Sprint Car racing here in the PNW so I understand how exciting that is. She got into racing at Gunner's age. Thanks for sharing this, Mike.

[@stancataline7385]

Many years ago our church built a mud pit for a tug of war,,,after the event was done a couple of days later the assistant pastor was using a john deere 210 c skip loader to fill the pit in. He built a bridge outinto the middle pushing dirt and suddenly it sank half way up the side of the engine. We had to bring in a cat 988 loader to lift it straight up out of the mud. What a mess to clean the 210 up enough to be able use it again

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Moving dirt during all day and dirt racing at night. Nothing better, can't beat that!

[@GARDENER42]

If the filled in pond holds water, you can always add some tile down to the new pond & a field carrot. 😉

[@jenniffer9034]

Awesome pond fill in job! Loved seeing the racing at the end and Gunners excitement of hoping Jeff won 🏆

[@DirtPerfect]

Thank you

[@joshestess]

Love seeing how excited your boy was watching that race. I remember going to the track with my dad and how exciting it was. Some memories ill never forget in my lifetime

[@stevengabry8878]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing your shenanigans, LOL See you on the next one 🤠

[@kingwood4357]

Really enjoyed the racing at the end of the video and the excitement on the boys faces. Hunter is ready to go racing I think😀

[@B_Rad4Real]

Oh those winged modified are badass rides for damn sure. Nice!!!

[@robcates2383]

Another great video, MIKE and Aaron, the NEW DUDE!!!! Dig the racing, also!!!!

[@scottmccrystal7287]

Epic video. Love the racing as well as pond build.

[@jandances1687]

Arran im in the westcountry uk, avid course angler once, we had loads of weekends with my children night fishing re ponds, and heard odd noise ,Martin explained thats EELs they go across land during the season..kids were in awe as they watched the eels moving from pond to pond,and axross the road from the river. Have fun..

[@ScottHammet]

My step-dad took me to dirt track races when I was a kid. We'd get a spot in the pit. He and I also built cars that he would run. Good times. Cool to see you at the races with your boy.

[@charleswelch249]

My favorite part was when you almost lost the 140 in the pond and saved it. Seeing the boys at the track was the icing on the cake.

[@Grandpa-Chris]

Just subscribed to Geoffs channel… loving the kids excitement…

[@kenpgh]

The phrase ' do it in the dirt ' is the only way to go sprint car racing 👍

[@craigpridemore7566]

He fits with you 2! Do more videos!

[@dale5898]

That is going to be one beautiful Park when you get through with it. I can’t wait to see the lake when it’s full.

[@HellYeahImIrish]

the go cart track looks awesome lol. Great video

[@Bman2020]

Boys had a blast Gunner was pumped take him go karting the old pond looked bigger then I thought great watch as always 👍👋🇨🇦

[@gakrazykajun]

It's fun to see the smile on Gunner's face at the races....making great memories too!!

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@faelsinnes]

WOW DP is starting a peat bog ! 😅😅😅😅 you may have to come back and put a field tile in there 29:08

[@paulpeters5199]

Best kind of racing right there hands down

[@thomasleonard1846]

Very clear picture!

[@danb1059]

Another great episode & GREAT job Jeoff!

[@SirensC3]

I drove a 360 sprint car back in 92’. Was the greatest time of my life. Wish I could have afforded to run it more. So darn expensive.

[@richardphelan8414]

The winged cars were a great ending to the pond video haven't seen them since Ascot closed down and Kinnzler reined the winged outlaws

[@dennis2376]

Thank you and have a great week.

[@BFT88]

Aaron is always spotting those turtles lol!!

[@hydraulic-hum]

awesome pond build and fill in.. thanks for sharing the racing, very exciting..

[@fredbrooks6488]

Enjoying the channel more each video,thanks

[@philipberry2704]

Loved the video Mike !!

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Aaron you scored DP 7-10, I'd give him 9-10 simply because, so far!, he hasn't buried the Case in that mud hole! See, even Mike says let's don't blow a hole in our cover! Look! There's Geoff! Oh boy, off to the races, yippee! Hey! My good buddies race street stock cars at Flat Rock MI. Their family finshed 1,2,3 at series finish this month. Wow Racing! 4 generations. Check them out! Gunner has racing in his blood! All great drivers start with go carts! Enjoy your time away guys! Wish I was there! What an exciting finish today! I should jump up and clean house! Or maybe brew another pot of coffee!!!!!

[@rasmusoster2091]

I like when you post videos that mixes business and pleasure ❤

[@davidtaplin7990]

mike will the old pump get a full service, and have Aaron paint it ???? 😁🤣

[@nigelhales874]

Wow love the racing

[@terrypomatto907]

Good job with the new pool. You could always pump water from the nearby river... I think with late fall coming soon to owner could let Mother Nature work on the water level.

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Both ponds are looking fantastic!! I think that new guy may have slowed you down a bit! He may need some additional training. lol Best of luck racing with Gunner! Don't forget your blood pressure meds! Thumbs up! Safety first! Jim

[@TimothyAmiot-zr8ec]

Great video as always sir!! My son was killed last year in a car accident.. none of us are promised tomorrow

[@allanvilleneuve6709]

Great video. Love watching all you do.

[@jonathancrissinger2301]

The pond project is looking very good. I used to race stock car,so the racing was a great plus to the video. Thanks for the video. See you later.

[@aaronjewell711]

Why don't you have Aaron extend the exhaust on the Dozer the yellow one to the canopy roof so you're not breathing the diesel fumes

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Good to watch another video from you all

[@CentralMississippiWhitetail]

My best friend is a case dealer in New Orleans and Jackson. I love their 210. I’ve rented them and prefer them to Cat.

[@everestyeti]

Can't wait to see you come back and find your dozer surrounded by 3feet of water, Aaron's going to need more than wellies. Hopefully whilst you're away if there is an issue someone can contact Jerry. 👍

[@johnnylindsey5808]

Good job guys

[@Nick-nw6zg]

Watching gunner look up at you at that race that look in his eyes reminds me of when my son was his age. He is now 21 and stands ahead taller than me. I sure miss those days. Pay attention to them take note of everything because once it’s gone, it’s gone forever🤘🏼❤️

[@savagertg2680]

Dirty bucket, hardest working!!

[@michaelney1412]

Perfect Dirt with great work

[@bobinator17]

Unacceptable, but immensely fun! :)

[@roseannvolrath2271]

Good morning my friends ❤️😅😊😂

[@paulprigge1209]

Fascinating! Looks like you’re just playing lol! But I know you know what you’re doing. Lol! Thanks

[@RandyRichey-b5t]

About time you got into some racing I like this guy good job thank you by😊

[@chrisallott8871]

We can all see how much you love spending time with Gunner but how much time do you spend with your daughter?

[@tomswindler64]

Nice job,still a ways to go,looking good.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@michaeldurling793]

That was a good change of pace Mike, I think Gunner's got the bug!

[@bizkruw7150]

Clean the bucket off!! That’s funny. He’s got skills.

[@rogergoins8118]

This was a really great video enjoyed it a lot

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Filling in the old pond without sinking the excavator or dozer is a win! All that is left is finish capping and old pond and grading it so water will head to the pond. Always a blast watching Geoff race. Gunner clearly had a blast and I foresee a future dirt racer. I think the go cart is the beginning of gunners racing career! It'll be interesting to see gunner become a dirt boss like DP and dirt track racer!

[@MySynthDungeon]

Morning coffees on! Here we go! ;-)!

[@steveleverett2644]

Love it you guys are awesome ❤❤

[@jackgreen412]

The stumps add structure for the fish. The nasty stuff you're pumping down will have protein for the bluegill.

[@Crewsy]

When I was in Ohio for work a few of us went to one of the big race nights at Tony Stewart’s track Eldora and I can honestly say I wish we had dirt tracks around here. It’s insane how fast those cars can go on clay. Seeing big name racer like Steve Kinser and Sammy Swindell was awesome too. It’s also hard to believe how much dirt you find everywhere when you get into the shower afterwards.

[@DirtPerfect]

That’s a awesome place

[@williamstuessy1611]

Great Video ! ( as they all are..) Could you explain ( make a video ) the process to obtain the necessary permitting to build these lakes and reservoirs ? Here in Central Massachusetts it is nearly impossible to dig out , dredge, create from new earth or otherwise construct any form of ponds or lakes legally. The Army Corps of Enginneers have to approve the permit and there is over a five year backlog of applications ( so I'm told ) . Your thoughts..Bill S.

[@davidfarley1175]

Mike, first of all has Buba paid for itself, it was a real asset to your business, and finally, Tucker couldn't contain himself at the races, You had better be prepared I think Dad's little buddy will want to start racing Dad at the Gocart track which may require a new Cart for TUCKER

[@michaelhalfman9844]

Having the D4 or that new Hyundai you gave us a sneak peek of would have helped polish up the old pond.

[@laceitup1]

Great video! The pond is looking great!

[@davidrose8046]

Love the pond build. Great content.
