John Deere Compact Tractor Fixes Muddy Camp Road

[@jamesbailey586]

Good Sunday morning

[@Fatamus]

That was absolutely AWESOME Captain Chuckles !! 🤣😂🤣 thanks

[@berkoskilandscaping4247]

I agree Mike, I always go to my brothers to do stuff for him. He is married with 3 kids and I have the equipment and the time so there’s nothing wrong with helping a family member, or a friend for that matter. Don’t always need something in return or have them there helping.

[@momirhussain-mq1sl]

Q

[@ErictheAmateur]

YES! Looking forward to seeing the 555 getting some working time in the woods.

[@SeanONeill13]

I enjoy the humor and self depravation! Sarcasm is a great asset. 😊

[@home-powersystems7782]

If you want to be happy, help someone. Brothers are even better. God bless you Mike. Organic rebar, that's a good one.

[@indyfastal]

It never came to mind that your brother wasn't there until you mentioned it. All I had to go on was you said you'd help him out. I guess us Hoosiers think differently when it comes to helping family...

[@archieharrison9433]

All I can say is I LOVE my AG tires. I forgot how much until I watched you heading up that muddy road.

[@jeffclark3558]

That’s what families do. Helping each other!! And family, doesn’t always mean blood family.

[@digging_in_the_parks2238]

"Organic rebar" I truly laugh out loud when I heard that. Going to have to use that one at work someday with your permission. Keep up the awesome work.

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

I busted out a grin too!

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Let me add on. It was one of his best…at least until the next one

[@RB-wl7ct]

Impressed with the Deere and the drag. Just shows what you can do with the right attitude.

[@buildlife]

Organic rebar! That's funny. I was watching Perkins Builder Brothers and they were throwing scrap steel in a concrete pour calling it "free bar"

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

No joke, I ran over my two week old Stilh 360 Pro, with the Case 450 Dozer, and it was a $625 saw at the time and smashed to smithereens! I was not happy! My saw dealer loved it! Great video! Lee

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Your little green tractor is a beast, and you are doing an excellent job.

[@mardimccabe6207]

I totally approve of your family dynamic. That's the best kind of family dynamic. Your kids are definitely growing up in a really good family.

[@kevinfrerichs8589]

I'm always amazed how good you can make things look with that 755. Compact tractor with a utility heart. 🚜

[@edryan2926]

I think your land plane is doing a good job for what it is, and the little John Deere is holding its own considering how small it is. Keep up the great work and paying your brother back.

[@stephenneat4277]

The amount of work you get done with that little 755 really surprises me.

[@stephenrawlings1981]

Family first is my motto, I love the fact you will be there for family without them having to join you. Something I would 100% do for mine. You are not alone 👍🏻” if you can you should and expect nothing in return because if you cannot do for family who can you do for?”

[@larrykleeman353]

Always good to see family pitching in to help one another and this is a major improvement. Keep it going.

[@loutoolguy2644]

You are making me lust for a 755! Going better in mud now w/ tire mods. I’m dying to see a cold start after new glow plugs.

[@tomoaktree4951]

Hi Mike, No worries about your brother not being there. With most families you help out when you can. Plus, it looks like you're having fun doing it. All the work that you did really made a huge difference!

[@rhondasweeney7271]

You are awesome thank you for my Sunday morning video. I give you a lot of credit because you help your brother and your brother helps you. That's how it should be!

[@kevinmckinzie]

The thumbnail message is great! Should put it on every thumbnail! 😂

[@CaptainKleeman]

😂

[@bobbydawson7706]

An awesome answer on family dynamics 👏👏👏

[@JohnSmith-gr8kh]

Mom and Dad raised some fine young fellows 👍🇨🇦

[@cyndikarp3368]

Families have their own dynamics. I believe in your standards. Excellent jobs done. Your homemade leveler is cool.

[@andrewcooper8980]

Organic re-bar. That’s awesome

[@davidcolesr.8628]

You are a True Gentlemen and a Scholar, I too am Familiar with the Family Dynamic here in South Central Pa., your Brother is a Lucky Man to have been Blessed by the Creator for a Brother as Yourself. I Sincerely mean that, I’ll catch you on the Next one and have No Doubt that’ll be the Nicest Driveway on the Block 😂

[@heatherlane9270]

'Organic rebar' love it. Little tractor did a great job and all looks ready for access - nearly. Funny really, never wondered why your brother wasn't there - that's families looking out for each other - same in mine growing up.

[@SammyFender]

As a young lad, I was reminded constantly to use what you got. If you need something, first try to adapt something or make something with what you got. Never buy brand new if you have to buy. And IF you have to buy, make sure it's something you be able to put to great use.

[@SammyFender]

Having said that; at 66 I finally bought an actual new welder!!

[@alexosborne5629]

Tony is happy to have you working there by yourself, nothing wrong with that at all. There probably isn't much he could do at the minute, only one person can operate the 755, pleased it is you !!! And you will get your fair share of days off through the week,where Tony probably gets weekends off I presume, and you can work here while waiting for parts to turn up. Just keep plodding away Captain !!!

[@garulusglandarius6126]

I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, you Mike are by far one of the most decent , hard working, resourceful, skilled people I know of ! Love your attitude , work ethics ( your work is always excellent , at the very least the best it can be with what you have available , resourceful ) and sense of humour . You and your brother are clearly decent/loyal to each other the way it should be 👍 You totally deserve all of your successes ! A new Captain Kleeman episode always brightens my evening . Gratitude for your excellent channel and respect from a loyal subscriber in Britain 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@lionelgardiner4408]

There's nothing wrong with paying forward especially with your brother. He was there for the yacht floor pour and many other times we haven't seen I'm sure. That road showed a huge improvement!

[@dennymarreesr6187]

Nice job Mike! The whole idea of helping others seems to be less and less common nowadays. That’s what’s wrong with our world. I always try and help people ,especially my family!! Keep doing the right thing…there’s not many of us left!

[@dalefriday5496]

One determinate in whether or not a task will be successful is knowing your tools and machines, and using them to their maximun capabilities. You showed that to be true in this episode. Dood job, 'capn!

[@lonniechartrand]

"Organic Rebar"........love it!!! I am still AMAZED at the traction you get with those tires on that J.D. in that mud!!! Nice job bud!

[@rickhaver5876]

All I can say is…… Good Job!

[@roybrown6831]

I still love your sense of humor... Organic rebar. Classic. I have a John Deere 2305 and love it. One thing that was a game changer for me in terms of digging with the bucket was a tooth bar (I believe I got it from Heavy Hitch). I got a Standard Duty Tooth Bar as that is what fit on my cutting edge. The price depends on width of Tooth Bar - but around $425 - $500 for Standard Duty. Thought I would mention it in case you hadn't heard of them. I know your budget doesn't allow you to buy all the toys you probably would like to have - just wanted to let you know how much I love mine.

[@DconBlueZ]

Love the way you deal with the ignorant internet knowitalls. :-) Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

[@raytalbot5890]

Capt you are right about the help a brother out thing I’m 1 of 4 & if a call goes out for help we dig in, I to spent a year going a hour 1/2 each way every weekend to help my brother build his home. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍 great content & funny as normal

[@tsparky236]

Mike, can’t say enough about your videos. Don’t know if it’s your smile or enthusiasm or the banter between yourself or just plain interesting? I bet it’s all of them, huh? No better operator in the world than you, you put that 755 through its paces like a pro. Thank you and keep them coming, all interesting.

[@philhunt9297]

The banter....it's like Capt Kleeman hitting 400 nails in in one go. "Organic rebar" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 As for working for/with your family - most will already know/understand....not all families are perfect (if that's the right word). Not saying Capt Kleeman's is perfect but like many of his 'creations' his family, from the foundations up, seems like it's built to last Whilst my own family collapsed and rotted away because the 'foundations' were built crooked and with poor substance....that's life

[@salmonhunter7414]

Never heard it called organic re bar. I am going to steal that. Nice job.

[@thomasbailey8306]

The old John Deere is doing a Hell of a Good job..This is what FAMILY DOES. Well USED TOO DO ANYHOW...Great Job Mike it's looking Good...The 555 will be able to come in and put the pipe in. And knock a few trees down. That will get them all EXCITED...LMAO.... 😂😂😂😂 Great Video Sir...

[@In2investing]

I said it once and I'll say it again, these 55 series John Deere's are awesome units. I'm actually looking for a 955 to be big brother to my 855.

[@jimchurchman2628]

I cannot believe how much work you get done with that little tractor. I grew up on a farm where a 30 hp tractor was “too small” for most jobs. You are a great operator!

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Captain Kleeman, you're doing a good job with equipment at hand.😉😃

[@williammills5111]

Awsome job on the driveway. You and the 755 are quite a team. That thing is “the little engine that could” if ever there was one! Thanks for the ride.

[@pennyneal2456]

You have made a massive difference on that road today. Wow!

[@KarenL-qt7dy]

Hi Captain!! The one thing that I really love about you and your channel is your "run what you brung" creativity!! You get things done with what you have, and it may take a bit more work, but it's more content for me to watch. Not everyone has the funds that Andrew has, and you still get things accomplished. I'm a bit like that myself. Keep up the great work, and I also have to say that you're so wonderful to be helping your brother. Yes, some families do that. Glad you're part of one of them. Take care, and don't let those "experts" bring you down. You're amazing!!!

[@Dave-Honeyguy]

Hater will be haters they hate themselves so they want you to join in with there missable life. You keep going and doing what you do. It’s real life and a lot of use enjoy how u make it work. Keep it up macgyver

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@charlesbrunner258]

Excellent video love your comments and yes that’s how every family dynamics should be. THANKS

[@jamesjonesforsheriff]

Keep up the good work. Thats what I do help my brothers and sisters without any questions asked.

[@markpashia7067]

Ok, I am not a regular but you got me laughing good with that "organic rebar" comment. Thanks for the chuckle.

[@steelmill]

That 2500hd looks really good with the custom bumpers

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

mud mud mud, same here, did some log moving to the mill and claean up my self... it sure will be nice when gets here and stays..

[@dansevern3291]

Always good to see the 755 "mini dozer" back at work. Don't let the commenters and other "internet experts" get you down, if it makes you feel any better, most of us just enjoy watching someone getting stuff done without spending a fortune (that we don't have). I can't prove, but strongly suspect, a lot of those negative commenters have never done a day's work. (Watch them reply to my comments and "self identify"). Take care.

[@thedelcodave]

I love the run what you brung approach. It show the more realistic abilities of what a homeowner can do with affordable tools and equipment. Keep up the good work.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Right on

[@carolheighes9988]

You certainly can get a lot done with that tractor!

[@briantruslow8805]

I like what another KZbinr says; “this isn’t a how to video, it’s a how I do it video” Thanks for sharing with us Mike

[@latasha584]

Hi Mike , 2 things , 1 , some concrete on your drag , check DP's waste pile . 2 , I'm surprised you had to even explain about your brother.

[@joeanonemouse]

12:59 🤣🤣 Nice job cleaning up the entrance and getting the ditch and road started. Don't worry about viewers wondering why your brother isn't helping just enjoy doing what you do with and for each other. A few loads of chirp and a culvert should make all the difference in that muddy mess area. Looking forward to watching it. Another great video. Thank you Capt. 👍

[@garymessina1609]

Well you always have to do for family I think you're doing alright if the mud doesn't get you first great video thanks Mike

[@JeffsFreedomGarage]

@Captain Kleeman - If the road/driveway is muddy in spots, you can take the long thin logs and saplings and lay them across the driveway, making a corduroy road or log road. It's an old technic that uses the surrounding small trees as a road base or filler to raise a road above wet areas so horses, wagons, and people could travel without getting stuck.

[@olavbjrneset5675]

Is it perfect? No. Are we gonna do it like this? Yes. ❤👍💪

[@pinwizz69]

Yuppers, Captain you're dead on right about using what you got instead of complaining about what you don't. That said, this is one time it'd be good for you to have the 555 there doing the heavy work. Well, you did mention having the 555 out there eventually. I'm sure it'll be a game changer for you.

[@Bman2020]

I have said a few times before band say it again that 755 always impressed me it may have something to do with the operator to nice work Captain 👩‍✈️ 👍👋🇨🇦

[@lloydwilliams8715]

Hi Hi Captain good morning from Jamaica 🇯🇲. Wow another interesting and entertaining volg on the set. Let's go have some fun 😊😊

[@AHallME1967]

Outstanding making the most out of what you got! Respect for the family helping family insight!

[@fhuber7507]

I can't argue with your choice of equipment to do the work... I used a 25 hp tractor to dig out 2.5 acre feet of dirt to make a pond.

[@tracymessineo4738]

Mine and my husband's family is the same way. We help if they need it and they don't have to be there. When we had our pond widened, my brother was out at the property when we weren't there. We have done stuff for family without them being there.

[@denjhill]

You remind me of me. Building road with a little tractor. My Kubota B7500, 21hp is too small the experts told me, but 1500' of road later I proved them wrong. That clay gumbo is a nightmare, ask me how I know. I learned there is only one way to tame it: road cloth. Probably out of the budget but the second option is large 3-4" road base rock. Also, I find my box blade is the wonder tool. Set the cutting edge angle right and you can either cut or smooth the ground, and bulldoze in reverse. Can even cut a ditch by adjusting the 3-point arms. Also I feel bad for you with those slick tires. I run R1 ag tires and don't regret it. But you know what you're doing and the result proves it. Looks great!

[@mooshaker]

Cleaning up real nice Captain.

[@thisguysdadrose6476]

Sir, have no complaints about Your work. It is impressive in everything You do. Also understand the concept of do work within your means with what you have. GREAT job!

[@SHarris64]

Back in the day in central British Columbia Canada, if there was a road that was muskeg or mud or swampy, they would line it with logs across the road and build a temporary road on that. Lots of those roads were in service for 30 years or so with some maintenance I’m sure. That might be a solution if your brothers road stays muddy until he’s ready to build. Love the videos, love the “run what you brung” attitude and the family values. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

[@michaelmaker8169]

Oh what an intro. That was great 👍

[@davidcolesr.8628]

Good to see you Mike

[@mikedemo1589]

it,s nice to help you borther

[@rickcham7781]

Seems like most people with a channel have "experts" critiquing everything. They can't seem to enjoy content for what it is. The results of your work are always good 👍

[@jerryoxley9556]

Hi mike! Organic Rebar!! That’s so funny, never heard that one before!! Jerry...UK

[@timstover3348]

I love it. Do with what you have. Besides if you did it right the first time, might as well sell the tractor. We all like to play in the dirt. Little tractor work every year. Keep it up

[@rons3103]

Mike, you're really showing off what you can do without heavy equipment! All I'm thinking about is hurry up and finish the Ford! WOW

[@patrikpersson9446]

It's a impressive what you can achive with that little green machine👍

[@CaptainKleeman]

Easy peezy

[@robertzapatka1082]

Any excuse you have for making a video works for me. If you can help someone out, all the better for everyone involved! Carry on Captain!!!

[@dalemcclellan5500]

When your brother asks, you gotta help. Family!!!! Drive entrance looks nice.

[@Matt-mq1ep]

Looks better by the day!

[@michaelmullins1290]

You do well with the, Run what you Brung situation. 555 will definitely make the work easier on the big ole trees.

[@georgesch4928]

Great vid as always. Run what you brung !! Keep doing what you do. Thanks

[@art1muz13]

Gratitude for your excellent channel, Ask Andrew for rocks.

[@darrenblattner2508]

Looking good mike. Used cutting edges work good for adding weight to your land plane, easy to add or remove depending on the job, a couple long bolts welded on the plane, no nuts needed. My landscape rake will outperform my back blade on dry dirt or gravel and remove bigger stones, bigger tree limbs get caught between the tines. Will not work in even a little mud, it makes a mess. Keep smilin

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n I don’t have forks for my baby tractor… but after finding out they have a ‘rock mode’, I am definitely interested!!! It seems like every time you bring out that 755 Swiss Army Knife it gains another blade. Looks to me like brother Tony may have a gold mine on his hands… the 755 kneaded that clay to the perfect consistency for a potters wheel… it sells for $5 per pound at my local art supply. At our local farm store, a bag of pond seal clay sells for $6. And… of course… when the sun comes out and bakes those ruts, he can sell world famous 755 Tire Impressions and make a mint. Cap’n, it’s alookin’ good!

[@bullittdog4352]

Man the road is shaping up nicely

[@kylejones2075]

You made some nice wildlife habitat and the road looks great and your drainage looks great thanks for sharing

[@jobcacka1330]

My guess is more of us ought to do more for our family members. Keep up the good work.

[@derrickpettit86]

Good work todd, so CLOSE

[@TomTom-pv2ig]

I enjoy the smaller equipment and working alone. Man that Deere works good. 👍✌️

[@dannystubblefield5478]

Captain Kleeman you are doing a fine job. Enjoyed this video . When your brother is gone you will remember these good times. Not trying to bum you out but it's true
