Harley Rake First Time User - PLUS - Cutting Dangerous Dead Trees

[@kaoskrew8577]

2 years later ........ Funny to hear you talking about beginning the YT yacht when you can see the amazing progress made on an awesome project.

[@bladewiper]

I love how you figured out the rake, the same way I have figured out most machines. Start pushing levers and buttons and see what happens.

[@CaptainKleeman]

salty 101 is there any other way? 😂

[@bladewiper]

@@CaptainKleeman well, when I worked in a large open pit mine. They put on a training course for the operators for a fancy new air seat they were installing in the heavy haulers, so they would know how to set it up properly.

[@NotJustaTool]

Good luck on your transfer Captain. Getting out of comfort zones can only lead to growth. Congrats on a new chapter. Cheers!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Keith L I agree! Thank you sir

[@mrmikeyd2]

Congrats on the transfer and thank you for sharing your life Captain.......your videos always brighten my day.... .....thank you for the hours of entertainment

[@CaptainKleeman]

mrmikeyd Thank you for the kind words sir. Also, thought I would let you know that Mrs kleeman is starting to settle in with the new school routine as well. Thanks for always leaving a comment and catch you on the next one.

[@bgood424]

Congratulations and good luck on moving to a new station!

[@danr6823]

Congrats on the transfer and all that it entails! Looking forward to the formal announcement.

Dan R thank you!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Great news about your future in the new station, your property is going to be beautiful with all the work you’re doing. Best of luck. Kevin

[@CaptainKleeman]

Kevin Kenyon thank you sir!

[@Lifeinthe906]

Wow that power rake is quite the piece of equipment! Thank you for sharing . Good luck on the new position at work .

[@CaptainKleeman]

Life in the 906 it certainly does a good job!

[@ronaldheit196]

Good job Captain. Congrats on the transfer and promotion. My Dad was promoted to Engine driver and transfered from Flint Michigan's station 1 to station 7. The food was way better at 7 than as station 1 had crew problems concerning menus and who was doing the cooking. Station 7 overlooked Chevy truck plant 2 on a bluff. Yup, my 6 siblings and I were station brats growing up. Mom would drive us in from our home in the first farm town north of Flint to visit and the crew always treated us kids really nice even letting us sit in the drivers seat or the engine and the pumper. Once a year they'd send all the firefighters kids on busses to see the Detroit Tigers play baseball. Station 7 is now a privately owned residence. My Dad ended up medically retired due to extreme arthritis from winter firefighting. Back then they didn't have self sealing gloves and boots so water would get in at times in the winter. Never a good thing. Do you take your young ones into your house occasionally ?

[@CaptainKleeman]

Ronald Heit privately owned station! I bet that makes for a cool residence. And yeah we bring the the kids past a few times a year. Did you ever get involved in the fire service?

[@ronaldheit196]

@@CaptainKleeman No, my Dad was dead set against us kids getting involved in becoming a firefighter. He had PTSD really bad from all the times he was involved in fires where kids and even adults got burned up and other experiences. He also had it from his time in the Navy during WW II. He never talked about that time of bis life. In fact I never knew he'd been in the Navy till I came home from Coast Guard boot camp them Aviation Machinist Mate A school. Back then they didn't have a lot of the safety equipment available today Y'all have today. I can remember when the Scott airpack came out. That was a real lifesaver. They tried to force my Dad and his fellow firefighters to shave their beards which in Michigan's winter weather helps keep your face warm. They claimed the facemask wouldn't seal on the Scott airpack so my Dad and the Union took them to court. The Union bought a clear 6 × 6 smoke chamber into the court room and had my Dad wear one in it to prove their claim was BS. He won so they transfered him to Station 7 as punishment. It backfired on them. He hated working at station 1 as he said it was boot licker central. It was Flints biggest station. A lotta game playing politics he hated. The Station 7 crew were a way better bunch of guys to work with. My oldest brother Mike was a volunteer firefighter up in Alaska. He's 70 know so a few years ago the mandatory retired him. Thank God there's men and women like you who step up and take up the Hose and Ax and fight those fires saving lives. I've always thought firefighters are underpaid. Better these days but still not enough. It's the same with LEO's and Teachers. Underappreciated and underpaid for what you gus do and go thru.

[@sparky2059]

Hey Captain Kleeman, be safe with the new fire house move. Good luck. and God bless!

[@CaptainKleeman]

James R thank you sir

[@markkenes4848]

Congrats Cpt on the promotion !!!!! Your one awsome guy!!! Love your vids as always. Plus I'm finally getting back to cutting trees down for fire wood. Just got to get my left shoulder strength better and I will be at 90 be percent !!! Stay safe in your new role in life my friend.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Spydr 1 glad you’re able to start cutting trees again. Be safe and hope everything else heals up for you.

[@821ross]

Switching stations within the FD is worrisome. However it is also great for training and expanding skills. Sometimes a new perspective on things leads to greater knowledge. I have had the honor of working for a great dept for the past 16 years. We shift stations and shifts every two years. Keep the great videoa coming.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Todd Ross I agree with you on that one. Always good to shake up ones mind set.

[@terrymcgillicuddy8056]

Nice video Captain. Great job 👌

[@CaptainKleeman]

Sydney McConnaughhay thank you!

[@blackdogexcavator21]

I had many transfers over my career, some promotions, some filling an empty hole that needed to be filled. There was always someone at each assignment that made the job more fun or more exciting and sometimes it was the whole crew that was awesome. I wish I could tell more of the funny stuff that happened but some of the people that were involved are still working and there may be consequences. Lol. I had an awesome 30 year career and wish I could start over and do it all again. Good luck on your new endeavors and stay safe brother.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Blackdog Tractor/Excavator I know what you mean! Wish I could share more stories. Would bring some laughs for sure. I think it’s going to work out fine. Survived the first day with the new crew.

[@firecaptaintom6670]

Well said. Most transfers are bittersweet. I only had 2 that were truly unwanted. Number one was getting moved out of my first assignment after the academy. Number two was taking over an engine company that needed "rebuilding" (long story).

[@cntslesfabrication]

Hope you have a great day at the new fire house. Have fun and stay safe

[@CaptainKleeman]

cntsles fabrication thank you!

[@vicyazzie1883]

[@eliteearthworksllc]

Great video man! Congrats on moving up the ladder at the fire station. I gathered it’s a good thing 😉. Nice job on the harley rake they do take a bit of getting use. I’ve only ran one once as well. They are even different from the preparator. Appreciate you sharing

[@jlu_midlifecrisis1336]

Good luck at the station. Can’t wait to hear the back story. Has anyone ever mentioned your voice reminds them of Mr. Rogers? The cadence and smoothness. PS....I picked up a Mavic Mini. Man those are cool. Stay safe!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Doug Routh hey congrats on the mavic mini! They are a great drone. Let me know how you like it after you use it for a while.

[@jlu_midlifecrisis1336]

Captain Kleeman I’m loving the mavic mini. Thought you might appreciate this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j53Eomx7nbuDrac

[@garymurt9112]

When did dirt perfect put the weed eater engine in the dump truck. I had to learn how to the run a Harley rake the same way, good thing I owned it, because I took out the gear box on mine. The previous owner had maxed out the slip clutch, worked great after I adjusted it correctly.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Gary murt haha, a maxed out slip clutch leads to bad days 😂. If you don’t mind me asking what happened to take out the gear box? Maybe I can learn from it.

[@TheSnakeman3]

That power rake works wonders. Looks good.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Robert Black1911 it’s a great implement!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Hmmmm... First thing I notice is the new boards on the top of the dump body. Don't recall those being changed (ELITE just changed his). CONGRATS on the 'career' move and I can guess what it is and of course won't talk about it. You are like I was in the 'military' (with the other members). I think because of the training being about the same (one guide book) you'll find no matter where you end up the mindset will be the same and that 'other' member will ALWAYS have your back! Happy for you since you work so hard at it all. Regards! Sonny (CT) PS: I'm back, seems like you've made great friends with that HARLEY RAKE. So glad you and Mike are so tight!

[@CaptainKleeman]

SONNY BLAZER my understanding is one of them got broke on a job so he picked up some new ones from logger wade

[@charleswilson6069]

Congratulations on the house transfer,,, I figure if you are not upset about it then it has to be good for you. I was a volunteer for 12 years and worked out of three houses in that time as the membership ebbed and flowed. You will reach the same level of comfort quickly,,, that is the nature of the best. You mastered the hydro gizmo it seems..looking good.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Charles Wilson it will all work out for sure. We have a good Captain and a younger guy who is hungry to learn. Can’t complain at all.

[@TimeLapseTowboater]

Congrats or good luck which ever is appropriate on your transfer. I feel you on how a fire house can become a family, its the same on the boats. Awesome video, love watching how you drop trees exactly where you want like Babe Ruth pointing where his Homerun was gonna land!!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Time Lapse Towboater I didn’t even think about that Jeff. You make a great point. Do most captains and pilots stay with the same crew or boat or is it always changing?

[@TimeLapseTowboater]

Usually you get set with a crew and stay a while. Some crews have been together for 10 yrs or more. Since im in kind of limbo, I move around alot

[@alexosborne5629]

Hope the first shift at your new station went well, you probably had your head buried in the pump learning where everything is stored, there can be so many different variations across a fleet, even though you will operate the same trucks.... In the service I am in we have older Dennis and Volvos, the more recent ones are Volvos, all of them are set up differently..... It is fun when you do a changeover to different pump!!! 🤯 You did well with the power rake, press the buttons or levers and see what happens, you soon got the hang of it sir !!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Alex Osborne I know exactly what you mean! You would think they would set up all the apparatus the same but never seems to work that way!

[@BlueDually4x4]

Transfers can be both exciting and anxiety inducing for sure. I've learned how to use a lot of machines by just pushing buttons or moving levers.

[@CaptainKleeman]

BlueDually4x4 pushing buttons is the best way to learn for sure!

[@erikgiggey4783]

congrats to you on the change, i hope it all works out good for you. dirt ninja used to do some good vids with one of those rakes for his families landscaping business. everything has a learning curve but you seem to adapt quick

[@CaptainKleeman]

Erik Giggey dirt ninja is a great channel. Always enjoy his stuff. Saw him in Vegas but didn’t get the chance to talk to him.

[@davidhill4711]

Good luck at the new firehouse.

[@CaptainKleeman]

David Hill thank you sir!

[@Crewsy]

Congratulations on what must be a good reason for the transfer. Easy deduction since you said it wasn’t a bad reason. Making a move can cause anxiety since as you mentioned at Engine 6 your team can work pretty much non verbal. You moving to Engine 4 means you need to learn all the unspoken cues. Hopefully the crew at Engine 4 is as welcoming as can be and will make you feel comfortable from day 1 (yesterday).

[@CaptainKleeman]

Wayne Crews day one went pretty well. I think it’s going to work out in the long run. Takes time to grow that kind of bond like you said. Thanks for the congrats!

[@CMDSR]

Grand idea on using the oak for flooring. If the guy can do tongue and grove he may be able to do molding. That cherry tree you have would make some awesome molding. Too bad you can’t share the career side of your life.

[@bladewiper]

[@CaptainKleeman]

Joey Stump I agree with that sir. Nothing wrong with a good old paradigm shift that comes with a new crew. Were did you work at?

[@VideosByAl]

Good luck on Engine 4. BTW ~ If you are planning on having your logs sawn keep in mind "Fresher is better" . Cut the tree down and have it sawn. Letting it lay for a while is not ideal.

[@randyjackovich9337]

What is the disconnected wire hanging from the rake at 18:44?

[@CaptainKleeman]

Randy Jackovich it’s for the angle function. I snagged it getting out of the machine

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Nice to see you wearing the appropriate safety gear when using the chainsaw, I was watching a video on another channel today and he was wearing shorts and running shoes.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Construction Trucks I’ll be honest. Sometimes if I’m just maintenance a couple cuts I’m lazy about it. But if I’m headed out in the woods I typically where the gear

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

@@CaptainKleeman That makes sense, for some small maintenance stuff there is no need to have the gear on.

[@Dmushroomhunter]

Hey Captain.. I live in Southeast Michigan. I used to live up north and about 2004, I got heavily involved in morel mushroom hunting. I hear you talkin about dead ash trees all the time, and it was a huge issue here back then. But it was some of the best morel mushroom hunting most people around here have ever had.. are you experiencing the same thing or do you hunt mushrooms at all?? Morels seem to prefer dead and dying elm and ash trees.. a fairly standard price offer to landowners is $15 a pound

[@CaptainKleeman]

D.mushroom Hunter actually my wife loves mushroom hunting . She had a great year, over 200 mushrooms. The ash tree comment is interesting though. She always looks around poplar trees. I’ll pass on the ash tree info to her. Thanks for sharing!

[@stashwaxroller1740]

I don't know how you feel about livestock. I know it's not for everybody , but about 20 goats would make that jungle look like a city park. If you don't believe that do some on line research. You would have to section off plots with a solar fence charger and some temporary fencing , and think of the great videos you could make. Changing situations in the workforce is not easy. Even when one is bettering himself , the co workers you leave behind will always be missed. Another great video , thanks for sharing it.

[@ArnieD17]

Unfortunately, the goats would probably eat the trees he wants to let grow in.

[@CaptainKleeman]

stashwax roller believe it or not we actually had goats at our first property. Sold them with the property. We do plan on he tying some for the field one day, but want to be able to build them a proper run first. I’m not sure we would run them in the woods though, they won’t ever let any new trees come up.

Any rules about growing ginseng right next to a protected forest? A 10-30 year mature rate on it so you can spread it around the property and in a few years have a nice cash crop ready to collect and sell without doing any damage to the trees. Ginseng, mushrooms and timber can be cultivated and harvested in the same areas without any major disruptions to the others giving you a nice supplemental cash now in mushrooms, in a few years in the ginseng roots and long term any high value timber you want to sell off without looking like a clear cut logging.

[@michaelrobbins6694]

That sang stuff does grow there all on its own..

[@CaptainKleeman]

Andrew H yeah, Michael Robbins is right, it grows here naturally. BUT it is heavily regulated. They almost treat it as a controlled substance. I’m not sure how much of that I want to mess with. I would have to do a lot of research on it first. But never say never I guess

[@erlegree]

Do you think that power rake sets up a good bed for new seed? My local rental place has a 3point power rake I can use on my tractor, and I need to prep a big area for seed. Keep up the good work on the videos! Been watching since the beginning!

You did well on the Harley Rake. Maybe not up to Dirt Perfect levels 😉 but would have been much better had the excavator operator not left so many roots and branches mixed into the dirt. I guess we’ll have to wait till the end of November to see Dirt Perfect doing the clearing job. 🤣😂🤣😂
