[@michaelhuhn90]

Congratulations on your latest acquisition Mike!! Everytime you crawled onto this machine you looked like you just got the keys to the candy store! There have been many times over the last few months I couldn't figure out if you were going to keep it or not and it drove me nuts at times wishing you would, but I understand it's a big investment and that does not come easy. Again Congratulations, Keep up the good Work Mike and everyone in your crew!!👏👏👌

[@heatherlane9270]

Awesome Dirt Perfect and congratulations on taking the big leap financially - it will be well worth it. Great precise of the Hyundai. Exciting future with many diverse projects.

[@ChrispHarding]

The good news is most of your gripes with it appears to be software. These can be easily fixed by the manufacturer (if they are willing) sign of a good machine as those tweaks can be pushed out as a software update, rather than phsycial changes.

[@chrisk6474]

The greatest compliment is when you buy the machine with your own money. That pretty much says it all. Great breakdown of the feature set of the machine as well!

[@gregm312]

kinda knew you were going to get it , especially when jerry said to keep it . it will be a real nice add to the fleet

[@ZanderKaneUK]

I thought at the start with the thumb fitting AND 2D system install was a good indication of he was already invested. Then when the 140 went sealed the deal. The fluids trailer was the cherry on top.

[@jamesfoulger2098]

@@ZanderKaneUK Clint at C&C saying DP would be buying it.

[@patrickcolahan7499]

Congratulations on the new member of the family. From the videos, it appears to compliment the fleet, much more than the 140 did and it will allow you to take on jobs that you may have had to pass on prior. I have pulled wrenches on heavy equipment for a good portion of my life, I have to admit, I am very impressed with the layout and access to everything. Some thing that seems simple to do, but in truth is very difficult. My compliments to Hyundai's engineers. Thanks very much for sharing.

[@straitshot52]

Congratulations Mike. Love the machine and can’t wait to see more videos of it on the channel. Keep up the great work.

[@richardherring8220]

Mike, congrats on the new addition to the fleet, I somehow knew it was probably gonna be a keeper when Jerry put his seal of approval on it, and I know Matt will agree as well, again CONGRATS and may you enjoy many years if reliable service from it !! 🥰 👍

[@oldschoolhoosier]

We understand you were in the NC area this weekend helping Chris with his off road Dump truck. Your expertise from fixing your brakes makes you a great hands-on adviser to help Chris. You guys are almost like brothers in the excavation world. Looking forward to seeing those videos of you and Chris. Your prior experience made your decision much easier on the 210. The 210 is a beast and will make you a lot of money for you and your business. 🇺🇸

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup possibly

[@oldsmokeeater7075]

Soo Happy for you! Congratulations you have thought this out to a pin point and not rushed into this purchase. Looking forward to the new adventures you get into!

[@graemethompson340]

Great decision Mike and what a great asset to the business well done mate cheers for now

[@K-Fred]

Congratulations Mike!!! Thank you for taking us along for the ride!!!

[@triplebexcavation5743]

Congratulations. I also made another excavator acquisition recently as I considered the Hyundai 210 and 220. My research however concluded that the Hyundai depreciates year over year significantly more than a CAT, Deere, or a Komatsu, my concern was resale value/trade value when I sell/trade in 3-5 years.

[@deanhanchett379]

Congrats on the purchase! Can’t wait for the grade control video. Love the layout of the hoses

[@fgllc]

Like all the others have said, congratulations on the new machine. I know this was a big purchase for your company and one you didn't take lightly. I have seen you grow your business over the past few years on your channel and hopefully this helps you grow to the next level. Look forward to watching your continued growth and success and keep these product reviews coming!

[@dougyurecko6500]

Glad its " KZbin official ". The 210 seems to be a perfect fit for you. You have done a great job of evaluating the 210, I have enjoyed watching you putting it through its paces. As usual good informative video. Your comment about Matt become a better operator with the 210 is spot on. I am happy for you. Mike you make us feel like we are right there with you, just need to add the smell of the dirt, that would be PERFECT!!! Have a great day.

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

Oh man that's awesome!! Congrats on the new machine, looking forward to seeing her in the future videos and what you guys get into with it!!!

[@jackdawg4579]

I'm glad the numbers worked out for you to keep it. It does look to be a great machine and it has done everything you have asked of it!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike congratulations on your new buy, every video you’ve done since you got the 210 seemed like you were very pleased with it’s operation! Great video awesome channel,keep the video’s coming! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@rickbell3402]

Congratulations, Mike! A big step up for you and your company!

[@jrad4895]

Glad to see you doing good out there. I am glad for you and your company. Keep on doing what you do. I'll keep watching and others as well.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands . congratulations on your new acquisition. but this is not possible. because you yourself made the statement "I will never buy an excavator without a front blade again" and this one does not have a front blade like the Volvo had. And those were your words, not ours haha . thanks for the video Mike . Sincerely, Hollandduck

[@henkweurding3339]

Congratulations to you and your family with the new purchase. Can't wait for Chris's opinion after using it.

[@58unclesam]

Congratulations, I’m looking forward to see ya using it!

[@CanandianPeriod]

Congratulations Mike I know you made the right choice. This machine will give you years of reliable service. Having been a cat guy for many years this and the other excavators you have had from Hyundai has changed my mind on equipment. I especially like the layout and makings on all components,, makes for easier service for sure !!

[@waddeym]

Shocker! never saw that one coming 🙃! In the years that I have followed DP, I have not seen him hold back telling about something he didn't like. The Hyundai demos were the only things he never had complaints about. The only question was, would he be willing to dig up all of his buried money jars to pay the big bucks for a new machine. Congrats DP, may she serve you long and well!

[@brucehuff5566]

I'm sure you researched like crazy and the 210 was your best choice can't wait to see the longevity of it over the years to come. Congrats. Stay safe

[@robertneel8931]

Congratulations on your purchase!! Looking forward to seeing bigger projects!! Nice!!

[@brianlewis1659]

Congratulations on your first new equipment purchase! It is a real since of pride and I’m sure you will have it for many years.

[@csterett]

I was very impressed by the engine compartment layout. As you said, for a modern piece of equipment the entire engine is accessible. So many things these days to service them you have to almost tear everything down to replace something simple. When you are out in the field, each minute that machine isn't running is a minute you're losing money. I wish more things were built with ease of service in mind!

[@russguymer5752]

I think from the moment the tracks hit your yard this was the DP star of the fleet. Congratulations on the purchase Mike. Looking forward to many many more videos seeing what the great machine can handle.

[@jimskinner9234]

Congrats on the new machine! I know there are a lot of behind the scenes decisions that go into this purchase and your business. Thanks for sharing your honest opinions.

[@okiemale1589]

A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... I was looking for a Dirt Perfect sticker early in the video... Congratulations on your new purchase Mike... Awesome video.. 😎👍 Big thumbs up!!!

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Grats on your NEW purchace Mike. Look forward to seeing more of it

[@Coopdaddy70]

Your enthusiasm and passion for this machine is infectious. Congrats and so much fun to pick up on your joy. Thanks for sharing!

[@mikedobson2988]

Very nice addition Mike. I was pretty sure you would keep it if the financial side of things worked out. You always had a smile on your face when operating it.

[@patrickbrauer6400]

Great video. Congrats on keeping it. And thanks for explaining why. Cudo's also for being sure to mention the dealer, who probably interacted with you on that decision as much or more than the manufacturer. It's a big world and you just made a big decision. All my best wishes. I'm sure you'll be just fine.

[@brianseibert3080]

Now you need to tint the windows like Chris did with his, that will help with the sun glare. Love watching you use your equipment.

[@lancejohnson16]

Congratulations! Best of luck, I'm certain it will serve you well! Be safe and keep the vids coming! I enjoy them very much, Godspeed!

[@butchmaster5757]

Congrats Mike and the Dirt Perfect Team! Good things happen to good people

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Looks like a great machine glad you was able to demo it and give us a honest review it will be a great addition to your fleet thanks for sharing

[@Matt-mq1ep]

Nice addition! Diamond eq and Mark Klodowski are both great to work with for sure! He has sold us a few pieces of equipment at my employer.

[@cliffthelondoncabbie]

well done Mike, Very pleased to support a hard working family and thanks for all the times you have put a smile on my and everyones faces.👍👍👍👍cliff the London cabbie

[@barrytaylor3278]

Congratulations!!!!!! If anyone deserves this, you do. I was impressed that you equated this purchase to more time with your family. Just shows what a good man you are. Many wishes for continued success!!!

[@erikcourtney1834]

We knew you was going to keep it😉. Congratulations on the purchase Mike, that’s a lot of money for a small business. Goes to show y’all do good work and get a lot of it being confident with buying a new big machine.

[@pjs5191]

Congrats on the new machine Mike. Can’t wait to see the stuff y’all get into with it in the future. Diamond Equip are some good people. My neighbor was a salesman there for years before retiring. They’re building a big new store over here too on Lynch Rd. That’ll surely be a cool new place with some more space.

[@mrsamzero1]

Congratulations Mike. Love what you and your guys are doing with the videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@garyschweighardt7725]

Congrats and excellent job with the review!!!

Congrats on your new ride, spending time with your family comes around just once don't miss out, the older I get the more I realize that.

[@sylviaprudhomme5417]

No nothing about machinery but able to follow your descriptions. So happy for you😊

[@perrywarner7567]

Congratulations Mike , nice addition to the line up !!!

[@brycejeannotte7699]

Great video! Nice to see that you are so happy with the machine. The 210 seems like a great choice. Looking forward to seeing many more videos featuring it.

[@barrywise7701]

Well done. It’s great to hear your full analysis.

[@AllstarVentures]

Congratulations Mike ! Big purchase that I’m sure will pay for itself over time and allow more flexibility. Nothing like having the right tools for the job ! 👍🏼

[@stephenlindsey9233]

Awesome that settled it. I think you did an excellent job evaluation and absolutely made the best decision! God bless you and your family 👪

[@davewebb5737]

I am pleased you have decided to buy the machine when you were digging loading Baba dump you looked so at ease and Matt was using her and he seemed to get along with her as well

[@machinemoverman4614]

Congratulations on your purchase, Mike! I remember when I purchased my big forklift, I had some sleepless nights( big purchase)! I got used to making the payment, and got it paid off. It is amazing what you can get used too! lol To this day I am amazed at what that machine will do!

[@geofffletcher840]

First New Buy, what a great feeling that must be. Well done and keep on keeping on.

[@TheGingerGenius78]

That’s awesome really honest reviews of the machine made with time and different work on it ! I can’t start to think how long and hard it was to do all the work to make sure it was the right decision to purchase the 210 ! I wish you much success and hoping the future is as good as the current and hopefully bigger and better for you and the company 👍👍

[@laurencef.5103]

I knew it!! Your enthusiasm gave you away.

[@johnmattu7262]

Nice job! I don't think you'll regret this purchase, the machine seems very solid and well thought out. Congrats!

[@edgundlach2811]

That's great Mike. So happy for you. I hope using this does get you home quicker to your family. Kinda scary financially, but you will use it to itself full potential. Once again, very happy for you. Ed from Chicago 🙂

[@billvandorn5332]

Congratulations 👏🎉👏! It's a huge deal and a game changer for you to grow! Blessings to all!

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

I knew it! I knew it! I knew it! Fantastic! I, too, believe it was a great purchase for you and your company! It's done everything you've asked it too, and more. I truly look forward to seeing it in more videos! Thanks Mike for caring about and asking for our thoughts. Love it! Lee

[@robinredman5192]

Mike, when you, Matt and Jerry all had nothing but praise for this piece of equipment it would have been absolutely shocking if you hadn't decided to keep it!! Way to go and wishing you continued success. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee. 😉

[@dereksmith1803]

Wow. Congrats on the new rig. It says a lot about Hyundai AND you that they were willing to leave a brand new $200k machine with you for 90 days. It means that they feel strongly that their machine will sell itself, but on the off chance that it doesn't, they know they're not going to get a ragged out machine back either. Great that your business is doing well enough (especially in this economy) that you felt you could pull the trigger on buying it. 👍

[@chuckmcatee9000]

AS soon as Jerry said "You should get me one of these" I figured for sure it would end up in the Dirt Perfect fleet. But yes, your detailed explanation of pros vs cons really makes the case of why this one is right for you.

[@michaelnilson9876]

Looks awesome, glad you are keeping it!

[@latherookie]

Congratulations, nothing beats a new machine. And it's great when it can do the job!

[@tonydurnell7951]

Mike I am pleased that you chose this option to expand your fleet and possibly take on those larger jobs that are out there. I also know that we changed out over time from the Volvo to Hyundai and found we encountered less down time from the get-go. Yes, we have had breakdowns and quirky issues, but our dealer and the manufacturer really stood up to the plate. So, I do hope that you have the same return from your investment that we did. By the way the machine comes with the brute strength, but the ignorance comes from some of our operators, and it still performs very well. Stay safe and take care.

[@tristardiggin]

Congrats on the new money maker. Looking forward to watching more videos with it in action. Tristar Diggin' Sam

[@dcrfire]

Congratulations Mike! Great to see you are keeping it! Keep up the great videos. Also, very happy to hear you say if this machine can get you home faster to your family, that’s a plus. Family is super important, the kids grow up so fast and they will be gone before you know it.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@dljones61]

Happy for you Mike, good to see a company listen to the folks that run it and build it more intelligently. Keep digging and I'll see you on the next one:)

[@larrymeyers6913]

Congratulations on the new machine. I've enjoyed watching you and your company grow over the years and want to say thank you for bringing us along on this this channel.

Big shout out to Hyunsi and Dimond Equipment for all you do for Dirt perfect, glad you decided to keep the machine for your company

[@rockman531]

Howdy Mr. Dirt, Very happy for you!! Between the 210 & the green monster tile plow - next year should be awesome!!! Stay safe, Jim

[@shirleyc7175]

Yea, glad you are keeping the machine. 👍

[@chrislaarman7532]

Thank you for sharing these thoughts! Yes, there were clues to your decision (I'm not on Facebook), yet your announcement feels like a happy end to a love story (which tends to mark the begin of a long and happy life together). This video also emphasizes a "to each his own", like how your 210 suits your needs and Chris' 220 suits his . That it is "better for the PURPOSE". Cheers! PS: You'll eventually invent a tapered can holder, or something more ingenious. ;-)

[@andrewruble7706]

I had a feeling long ago when you first ran that machine, the smile on your face told us you just might own that machine in the future. Congratulations on the newest addition to the fleet. We will know when it is really part of the family when you let Matt run it.. LOL Thanks for the video.

[@jimnaz5267]

GOOD FOR YOU! enjoy all your work videos.

[@stashoski2675]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. Good review. Something to look at when time for up grade.

[@jamesfranks545]

Congrats Mike. Right after you got it and you pushed that huge Sycamore tree over with little to no digging I was certainly impressed with the power because Sycamores grow deep and are tough to get out a lot of times. That 210 just muscled it over and I was like dang that machine is a hoss. Big investment but that gal will make you a lot of money over its lifetime. Congrats again and keep up the good work.

[@BarryCouch]

That’s awesome! Congratulations!!!

[@DBlank72]

Congrats on the new machine!

Good to see you are keeping the 210 hope it continues to satisfie

[@louGriggs1944]

Congratulations on the new acquisition. I'm sure it was a tough one but I think most of your regulars probably thought it was going this way. Glad the 210 found a good home. No doubts that it will be well taken care of.

[@BuddyCastille]

I've been following LD18 for a few years now.. am also loving your channel.. thanks for sharing... I'm from South Louisiana... at my job all we use is Hyundai... they have always purchased the 220's... this year there going with that very same machine (210).. we always buy 2 at a time and always get the forestry package installed... I'm with you on power and super easy maintenance... great purchase... 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@tbix1963]

Congratulations on the addition to your fleet. Hopefully someday I will live long enough to see Gunner referring back to this as old reliable like you do to the 120. You do a great job selling the features of this machine which shows just how sold on it you are. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.
