First!!! Thanks Mike for the opportunity to be in the maiden voyage video of the 120 and thank you for all your support and making this great video!!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Man... once again, you have me in awe!

[@barryhansen6854]

Always great too see you in action Pete.

[@justinmills8084]

Your one heck of a guy taking your time to help a friend's friend. We need more people like you in this world.

[@davidhaley7053]

Excellent job guys. You work well together.

[@KG-yn9qi]

Nice to see your ability / work sir! Nice job!

[@NathanCEnyart]

Bud I have a smile on my face every time I watch one of your videos. I even sit down and watch them with my 4 year old great nephew. He is learning stuff from your videos. Thank You.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@laceitup1]

That was so impressive! It always has amazed me at how loggers can pin point the location the tree will fall. Really well done! And the pure joy on your face to be back in the 120 is priceless!😁

[@jamesdearman814]

Your explanation of the economics and cost vs profit analysis is always cogent and logical. You'd be surprised at the number of people who simply do not understand return on investment and cost vs profit.

[@markmortensen4341]

Nice to see the 120!!! Pete is the best! He's not only an awesome cutter but he has his $h!t together!! Such a good dude. Thanks again for sharing👍‼️

[@DirtPerfect]

yes he is

[@bradtoothman7650]

Love the sound of the Puppy Dog moving the 120 down the road. Two great older machines!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes they are

[@oby-1607]

The 120 is the reason why I started watching your channel. I have an old 490D that is in excellent shape with a full forestry cage that is very similar to what you run. Bigger difference is your engine is more powerful but I love the economy of mine. Really glad to see your 120 out and working again.

[@DirtPerfect]

Awesome

[@astonmartin2727]

Thanks for another great video ! Hope this Job was a No Charge to the Neighbour and your way of giving thanks for your blessings. Happy to see the 120 back in action.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks and it was

[@preciousmemories6890]

That thing was so massive, each limb was a tree 🌳 unto itself !!!! Great Job to you both !!!

[@chadbell8993]

Impressive one shot backing in the driveway! Nice job on the 120 rebuild also!

[@SusanBuckingham-ut2ez]

Lots of fun! Prayers for Nutsy!

[@chasekelsey9773]

I have never been so happy or felt something so special about a KZbin video in a long time this is a special moment for the ole gal

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Drew6709]

Damn that Mack has such a GORGEOUS sound from the Jakes!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@d.wgriffin3174]

GOOD TO SEE THE 120 BACK AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@thebear5454]

Good to see the Deere running wild again Mike. To nuts319 awesome saw work brother.

[@williammatthews2948]

I love to see anyone willing to take the time to help someone in need. It gives me hope for humanity in this crazy world we live in. I've been watching his channel, and the man has skills. Y'all have a blessed and safe day.

[@ZenWithKen]

I show people where plumb is every time I drive. Thanks for sharing!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@garyhunter6030]

Your excitement about the 120 reminds me when I was 18 and I finished my restoration of my 1939 chevy. No feeling like bringing a old friend back to life.

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@Badgermatt-nc5nr]

I love watching Nutsy! Great to see the 120 working again. I'm bummed you didn't have the opportunity to show any of the customers old equipment, I'm a sucker to see old tractors!

[@DirtPerfect]

He has some awesome ones

[@lamorgan2006]

I reckon next winter maintenance might include a blade. Solid workout first up, hard to wipe that smile off your face.

[@ramtuff2007]

glad to see the 120 working again

[@bobvernon8925]

Mike, your face when you loaded up the 120 was a picture, Like a kid in a sweet shop as we say over here, You and that machine are made to work together, The rebuild and the tree down all very well done, With the help of nuts319 of course, As you say, that's a wrap.........

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks bob

[@ronpeacock9939]

You're correct on the thumb strength... this one has the progressive link connection where the volvo is a direct connect... that progressive link gives it more lever action and more range...

[@garywest8901]

Great vid. 2 pros on 1 job with classic DPJD 120. Thanks guys.

[@georgetucker336]

Takes a lot of practice to back that far down a road. Your skill is amazing. Nice job dropping the tree. Right on the dime.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Insayshabull]

best compliment i have is the word envy ... tools, equipment, shop, all the big boy toys ... no envy of the biz stuff and paying the bills ... wobble is gone ... cheers

[@stevedabbs4257]

Looks to me like you took the right saw hand with you , good job gentleman .Good to see the 120 back out NICE!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@justinmills8084]

You and Nutty are shown your true colors. Helping your friends out in a pinch, your both good people.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Justin

[@billyshumate853]

Good to see the 120 going again. I do follow Nuts also. Take care and have a blessed day. Tell your family I said hello

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks billy

[@billyshumate853]

Good morning Mike great video with you and Nuts

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@dansevern3291]

It's been over 40 years since I drove a truck for my Dad, delivering gas & diesel to "farm accounts", and your videos remind me how much I miss that sound, and of being proud of backing about 1/2 a mile down a curving gravel road to get to the barn. I think that's why I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks as always.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Dan

[@waynetharp]

Congrats on bringing new life back to the 120! Nice job on laying the big ole Sycamore down to rest, Pete!

[@petenikolic5244]

Just love the sound of those pipes

[@daverobertson2059]

Nice job, glad the120 is back. Wish you were in our area .

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@kevinkenyon7045]

The 120 was very impressive, your backing up down the driveway was perfect. Nuts319 seems like a great guy! He dropped that tree right on the spot, it’s great to see you helping your neighbors! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Kevin

[@Jamieclarke88]

Awesome stuff mike great to see the old girl back up and going again seeing how excited you were was awesome and great job too nuts 319 that man knows how to cuts a tree thanks for the video mike 👍👍👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@CMDSR]

Right nice size Sycamore there. Good job guys.👍

[@bradhanson4803]

Wow the interior even looks clean nice

[@mikebultema2536]

Great job nuts319. Good to see the 120 back at it. Mike, I completely understand how having a extra piece of equipment can allow you to get to the work while keeping you from moving equipment twice as much. 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks mike

[@awy1977]

Another job well done by the 120. Looks good!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@mikemosley4865]

Great video !! And love the sound of that truck rolling down the road lol

[@jaquigreenlees]

I think it would sound even better with a Detroit Diesel ( aka screaming jimmy ) in it. Them 2-stroke diesels have the best sound.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks mike

[@randallnottingham799]

Mike you and nuts319 done a great job and a good deed

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@bradstubbings9871]

So glad to see her back in action. Looks like you almost forgot she doesn't have a blade in front of her.

[@johnsimmons532]

Love the sound of that puppy 🐶 dog!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Jameson4327]

I would say you are right about the thumb! The 120 bucket had a little workout on it after putting the new pins in.

[@eddieforce3550]

The sycamore tree has some beautiful wood in it for those who have a sawmill big enough to handle a log that big.

[@michaelsailors7794]

Man, that's a beautiful sight seeing the ol 120 back in action!!! Congratulations on getting her rebuilt. Look forward to seeing a lot more of her

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@michaelrobbins6694]

Wow! We should have had that drone shot way before then! The 120 was a tonka toy!

[@davidhill4711]

Great to see you breaking the 120 without issues As Mr.SOT says: Work Smarter not Harder. Great job.

[@danielpullum1907]

Hey DP, Tell Nuts I've got two black locust and one "elephant tree" that have his name all over them...... Nice job!

[@ronaldheit196]

It's always great to see a resurrected old workhorse back to work as she deserves to be. Especially when she was your first major piece of equipment. Y'all did a great job rebuilding her. That series of vids was really awesome entertainment for this high risk locked down geezer. Keeps me from climbing the walls.

[@jaquigreenlees]

I hear that! High risk old bat here. :D locked down? not hardly, I have changed nothing about my daily routine because of the pandemic, but then my health has had me doing the social distancing for a decade already.

[@elijahcavin2408]

Two of my favorite things to do in one video, cutting down trees and running excavators.

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@TheHelgadog]

Deere excavator is awesome! Glad you got it fixed up. The one and only excavator I have ever run was a new Deere 160 my cousin rented for a small job. Easy machines to learn compared to other brands. Keep up the great videos.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup thanks Joel

[@michaelyoung3525]

As always nuts319 you did a great job taking down the sycamore. When you put the open face notch in it brought back a lot of memories when I worked in the logging business. Dirt perfect did a great job too 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Michele

[@rockybuchner5587]

Great job backing up in the driveway

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks rocky

[@brucehuff5566]

Your smile says it all. The 120 back in action. You have some very skilled help with you also. Both the channels are very informative and extremely fun to watch. Stay safe

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@gregcothrum4045]

Great video Mike y'all have a great one and stay safe 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@ken.outside]

This is quite an accomplishment. The work you have done is by no means simple. I find as I get older the more I appreciate the durability of some of the older equipment. I'm excited to see that comparison video. Great to see the 120 back!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Ken

[@user990077]

12:11 Wow. You snaked your precious machine down that narrow road. And so close to shoulders where you could of dumped it over on its side. Nice work!

[@michaelkoop6731]

Great job u 2. Thanks for the good explanation there nuts. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@localcrew]

Sycamore can be good sawmill wood but I try not to mess with it much. Problem is known as Ring Shake. Gets splits between growth rings. No bueno. It’s very pretty when quarter sawn. Pretty decent firewood. If you had the right splitter and backing equipment you could heat your house for two years with that tree. You’d have to use the big ol’ honkin’ trunk too though. Splitting firewood. Good times.

[@daniele.woodhead1218]

5⭐'S especially seeing the 120 back in action and seeing nuts319 with his cutting skills, all around Awesome video.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@jerrybennett6860]

About time you knock the rust off love the videos

[@thomasdesmond2248]

The 120 is like that old pair of jeans. Just comfortable. God bless

[@roydawson4882]

Oh dear John Deere just look what mike has done,he,s cheered up the 120 it did look so glum,a credit to the owner to keep this machine on the move,nice to see Mike stay safe.

[@evilbrat5376]

The 120 looks fantastic Mike. For almost 14,000 hours - she sounds sweet. so does that tractor pulling her. Have a good one today and a better one tomorrow.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@jacksak]

I sure did like that notch cut explanation. It was one of the most clear, understandable I've heard.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@MrDaniell1234]

It's really good watching a logger that knows what they are doing.

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes it is

[@waltermattson5566]

Great job both of you guys.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@raymondlarocque33]

Thanks

[@kenthammarstrom8255]

Big smile on your face The look of a happy Mr D P 😉! you and the guys made a good work on the 120, looks as you have experiance with the tools👍 keep on trucking.

[@pjs5191]

Excited to see the Deere back out of the shop but have kind of gotten used to the Volvo now. Going to be cool seeing them both in action.

[@donbullock8790]

Not bad backing on the blind there for not being a "Truck Driver". And you do like that Jake. Seen some blue smoke, how many miles/hours on that engine? I must say that you do make a good video. I also must say that when you and Aaron get together it's like "Bob the builder" and Abbott and Costello combined. You just crack me up. Keep them coming please.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks don

[@glennhunter7018]

Good video again you was so happy to have the 120 excavator out you was like a kid in a candy store I was so happy for you to my friend good job y’all to on the job good good work my friend i really Enjoy your videos keep them coming please be safe and you know I always like hearing the Mack truck

[@richardhedrick5601]

I'm glad to see the 120 back out on the job

[@thomasdesmond2248]

Look at the old girl. New shoes and a lot of love. She's ready to dance. She said my guys took care of me. God bless

[@fulltiltgrading8366]

You showed me a preview of this video when you were in PA. Love seeing the one 120 back in action! Pete is the man! 💪🏻

[@DirtPerfect]

😁

[@lakesideranch]

Nice job Mike and Nutsy! Great to see the old Deere back to work and hear your excitement with its performance. Work safe! Doug@ the "ranch"

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy

[@sandy1653]

A nice easy job to warm the 120 back into workin. Dude with the saw sure as hell knows what he's about, dropped that on the ground pretty as you please.

[@w056007568]

Very well done both of you! I'm just glad I'm not doing the clean up job!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks Dan

[@Aspen51]

Mike - That man is an Artist with that chainsaw, know it was a 2 man team but hell...... pure art man!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes he is

[@pauleasterbrook2036]

Another good job Australia cheers 🍻 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@royallclark6331]

Oh, so clean!! Last time it will be that clean for a long time!!

[@gliderider7077]

He has a gift for dropping trees!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yes he does

[@guido2110]

Man i could tell buy the sound when you came off the trailer and when your tracking beside the tree ,the ole 120 sounds dam good ! Good video !!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Love them mack bulldogs I been thinking about putting one on my pickup lol great video brother god bless

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@av8tore71]

You back this trailer into the drive like you have done that once or twice before 😆😆 I didn't realize there's a lot of science in falling a tree

[@markkenes4848]

Think I was more excited than you were !!!! Was good to see my neighbor Nuts cutting her down. He is the best in my book. Tóught me alot just watching his vids !!! Mike sure is good seeing the old girl felx her legs again.

[@hubertwhitlock9968]

You have inspired me I've got a little mini T-Rex I need to rebuild some of the boom on it

[@hubertwhitlock9968]

Terex

[@bethbumm1329]

Good job again! Not much Mr. Dirt Perfect can't do!

[@R_R_R_R_R_]

Them fellers in the back got a wheelbarrow and chairs immediately afterwards. True professional watchers.

[@DirtPerfect]

Lol

[@mischef18]

Another great video bro ya digger done well.

[@ronalddavis439]

Your a good neighbor.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@casycasy5199]

you both explained how to take a tree down super great video

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@NotJustaTool]

I only wish I could ask the few people watching why they would downvote such well made, informative, entertaining, and neighborly content. There are a few people that just don't get it. Maybe some people don't want to see a beautiful tree with colorful bark taken down, I guess. I know it's not Nutsy or DP. Maybe it's those that wanted fresh paint on the 120? lol Good stuff Mike and Pete!

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks buddy

[@RonSales]

Someone needs to get that wood and slab it up on the sawmill.

[@floydjacksonjr.1545]

"TIMBER". GOOD JOB GUYS.

[@paulhoneyman6923]

HEY that CAN NOT BE DPs 120, IT'S CLEAN lol. Good to see it out of the shop again Mike

[@stashwaxroller1740]

very impressive tree cutting job with a great explanation. Want to extend my admiration for DP backing the trailer off the highway ! One shot ! no pull ups! Great footage all around.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks buddy
