The best part of this video was seen Aaron,Man Behind the Seen doing well, love having and seeing him around! Great work Dirt Perfect !

[@ep9360]

Yes, he's THE man behind the scenes. The other guy is def not. Mom says if you can't say something good......well. Crickets for MM.

[@dixiebourne752]

Mike it's a joy to watch you Matt and Aaron working together.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@tomwainwright7102]

How nice it is to have "the comedy hour " back....made my night.

[@kaydog2008]

Paint the chain and the back of the plow bright yellow and every foot and chain link in black. You'll be able to see it even on the darkest of day's. 😘👍

[@michaelsaintjohn3503]

Hey Mike should you install gusset plates to help strengthen those welds, probably set the gusset plates on a slight angle to keep dirt from building up on the gusset plates which will cause rust issues, you guys did an awesome job engineering that plow & putting it together, and seeing how well it put pipe in the ground, I sooo enjoy your videos, keep them coming thanks Mike

[@nanettebarling1222]

I was thinking the same.

[@alphonsotate2982]

@@nanettebarling1222 box it

[@SteveP-vm1uc]

Was my first thought as well... Aaron knew those welds should have been stick welded.. I know he works power plants, but wonder if he is qualified for the nukes?? If so, HE KNEW they should have been stick welded!!! Getting checked off by those engineers will make a grown man cry!!!

[@Damoinion]

Same thought here

[@brentbosworth8845]

Hey Guys, I'm not an engineer but give some thought to a bottom plate added to where you just welded it back together WITH the gussets these guys mentioned. It's obvious the base needs a lot more strength.

[@mudlovr]

Angled scarfing tips help a pile when you have to wash out weld in a tight corner

[@don4364]

Welcome back Arron. Looks as though he is in direr need of an angled scrafing tip for the cutting torch for that kind of cutting clean up work.

[@laceitup1]

I really love that you guy's modify your equipment to work for what you do! Makes for fun video's as well!

[@pattucker612]

Wow, look at that day Matt, Aaron and you all together again, great video we’ll see you on the next one. Thank you.

[@tdimccullough]

We have a saying here in Northern Ireland, "never cast a clute till May's oute" that Ulster Scots lingo for don't take your coat until May's finished

[@randallsmerna384]

I'd like to see you add some more gussets there. Possibly at the bottom perpendicular to the new welds.

[@prestonvaughn2078]

Idea for marking the chain, on big ships the anchor chain is painted different colors at strategic points (1ft, 2 ft, etc). All you have to do is see which color is touching ground to know where you are. Blast one link every ??? easy peasy.

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Was great to see Aaron again. It is always great having him there and working with Mike. Good to see Matt there as well, as you are all getting the big mean green machine taken care of and back to working order. taken it you replaced the Hydraulics as well?? wondering how Jerry is gonna take to the extra controls..??Like the idea of the marking on the digger, and thinking engraving is the best way to go..on the chair just put on differtent colored zip ties on it!

[@garydillon3960]

Excellent work Mike, Aaron, and Matt.

[@greggb1416]

Had been wondering about MBTS…, the opening scene of MBTS…, his laugh & smile are like no other…, and loved hearing & seeing him…

[@everestyeti]

Love the banter, workplaces these days are to clinical just retired and my favourite days were working in the post office over 35 years ago when you were allowed to be an individual and not confirm to what everyone else wanted.

[@roy-kw4g957]

Washing that out seems like a perfect job for the air arc.

[@Metalmaxm]

You could spray paint white numbers on the back.

[@hackdlc]

Okay. The Keystones Cop type music seemed so appropriate. Lol love watching you guys work together. If you can’t have fun and get a job done , it’s almost not worth it.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike Matt and Aaron great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@adubbelde1]

I see Aaron in a Kiewet Sweatshirt. In the 60's my dad worked for Pete Kiewet and Sons in western South Dakota where they were building Minuteman Missile Silos. He was responsible for radio communications.

[@DirtPerfect]

Awesome

[@daveschmidt5713]

Mike will never have to say "Let's cut twice and weld three times." BTW that red bracket is not to hold a fire extinguisher. It is for the emergency 2 liter Pepsi.

[@ChrisWright7701]

Pepsi will probably work better than a fire extinguisher

[@flick22601]

If so, he needs to paint it blue otherwise that other cola may make its way into his cab.

[@ChrisWright7701]

@@flick22601 true. And wee can't have that!

[@markbraisted4535]

It’s more of a cooler bracket for the PEPSI

[@mikeowens7040]

I was gonna say that before but dp gets so angry about that emergency Pepsi hanger

[@stevencroon]

👍👍👍 The tile plow is a beast MTB has to warrant his work, I mean he's the man Right? You guys are great to watch together makes my morning coffee much sweeter.

[@sgmode774]

Hi Mike, I would suggest you paint the guide/measurement chain bright orange so you can easily spot it from the cab.

[@revtmyers1]

I learned an important safety tip today. If you're taller than your weld area a ball cap works fine but if you're shorter than your weld a full face shield is the way to go.

[@Jrojan]

58:00 was the most usable price of educational advice I’ve ever heard!

[@harrellmorlan6817]

We always used 1/8" 110/18 for high stress areas on rock quarry equipment. Enjoy the videos and your channel, great content Mike and crew.

[@philhammond5908]

Colored zip ties for the chain and drill a corresponding painted divot count and score line for the shank .

[@Thecowboy1950]

Have Aaron Carbon Ark them numbers in the back of the boot so they’re recessed and then paint them bright yellow

[@jogge1980]

Welcome back MBTS hope you will get more time in the future to work with DP… you are a good team together… arguing like a couple super fun but still serious work being done…

[@kevinp1904]

Have you thought about putting a mark on the end of the pin so you know the hole position as you drive it in? This way when you have it out more so you can twist it easier.

[@careyhauck7806]

Great seeing this video after watching the latest tile plow upgrades. Very impressive, love the can do attitude!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@DMAN10]

Another great vid Mike…thanks!

[@dansbrown1313]

Thanks Mike, seeing the three um Amigo's working together was great fun! You did a great job designing and fabricating your in cab equipment shelf. There is likely to be some vibration noise in the cab but you can mitigate that by using some 3/8s rubber automotive hose, slice it length wise so it slides over the contact point of the stand and the dozer. I sure appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Thanks from Canada

[@pieterkok3807]

Matt always entertaining watching you and Dustin, I cannot wait for the next one.

[@richardmartin6533]

Instead of using velcro on the joystick... Step 1.) unscrew the bottom plate of the joystick. Step 2.) check for clearance issues to install 2 or 3 small bolts*. (I'm thinking a #6-32 nut and bolt combo sold in most stores). Step 3.) drill 2 - 3 small holes in the joystick plate and metal plate, so that they line up. Step 4.) insert 2 - 3 small bolts pointing downwards in the joystick plate. Step 5.) reattach the bottom joystick plate with the screws you removed in step 1. Step 6.) run the bolts through your plate with holes and tighten down with nuts, washers, and split washers. *(Note - machine screws, bolts, etc.. Also- use stainless if used in a wet area.)

[@jamesfranks545]

I agree with you Mike I would have put gussets on it out of 3/4" just as a precaution. Obviously, a monumental amount of stress right there.

[@mikenixon9164]

Looks great.

[@tangowhisky14]

One of the best if not the best “industrial” video on KZbin. Many thanks guys.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Letstieoneon3194]

Love the changes, I would suggest taking like a 1/2 “ dim. Drill bit and make reference marks / indent dots for depth markers then paint them with glow paint. 2 for 2 ft. 3 for 3 ft. And so on. Just suggestion.

[@edhammond8709]

Glad to see MBTS back. That project is amazing y’all work well together

[@mm-pw9my]

Good to see mbts work and more work

[@richardhedrick5601]

The platform for controller looks great keep up the great work

[@brycejeannotte7699]

Just a note. Don't separate the Velcro before cutting it. Saves a lot of time and effort and both pieces end up properly aligned.

[@Highstranger951]

Came here to say the same

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

Exactly!

[@bcslack09]

It is fun watching three best buddies working together.

[@JohnShalamskas]

3M Dual-Lock tape will work for the joystick. It has a very strong, stiff lockup which should not work loose from a bumpy ride, while still allowing you to remove it by hand prying.

[@johnbradbury433]

what a great leaning video. Thank you all. Its got to have a name.

[@kingwood4357]

Nice improvements and upgrades/repair 👍You are multi-talented with a great crew.

[@davidswezene1102]

Far as marking Depth gage on your Digger, if what you have now doesn't work out, considered buying some stencils and bright spray paint. They come in many different sizes. For best visibility, use 4"-6" size numbers & high contrast paint. Canary or fluorescent yellow should be great against Olive green? Love this group of Amigos. What a hoot ya'ii can be!

[@bobbydawson7706]

Awesome awesome video. Very impressive and too many positive thoughts to list! Enjoyed the vedio ❤️👍👌👌

[@bigbird2100]

Great video 👍 Good catch on the pre check inspection,the saying is "it's only as strong as the weakest part"but improvements are on going nice to see Mbts😅

[@Expendible1971]

Hey Aaron, talking about perfect, I was talking to Mike the other day and he told me that until quite recently, he was convinced that he was perfect! It ends up that he thought that he had made a mistake …but he hadn’t!

[@thomasstarkey4646]

Good to see MBTS is back,but you guys are having way to much fun

[@oddtechman]

Glad you caught that crack before it got critical, Mike. Just goes to show the importance of regular equipment inspection!

[@DirtPerfect]

Yup exactly

[@alphonsotate2982]

He caught it before the tractor left the plow behind that would have been ugly

[@davidfarley1175]

Mike great video. and I watched it all Arron knows his welding. and you are good at designing and that is why I watch your site, you and Arron work well together

[@glynnisblackwell2723]

I think you should paint each of the depths on the chain you are referencing with neon paint!!!

sure Mrs. DP has to wonder if having the shop right there to keep an eye on Mike is always advantageous!

[@dougthibault8515]

So nice to see MBTS back he is a hoot your so blessed to have such great friends and Matt as a employee sure takes the stress out of everyday life when you know they are there and have your back 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... Glad to see you found and fixed a problem, as well as the upgrades with the plow... Also nice to see the man behind the scenes again also!! Very nice video... 😎👍

[@gullreefclub]

Personally, I prefer a little Whiskey in my coffee in the morning over a little dirt.....😁

[@randallsmerna384]

I prefer a little coffee in my milk...

[@henkoosterhof5947]

Try a centerpunch for engraving the lines and numbers on the plow.

[@HughzieTube]

For Matts measurement idea on the back if the ripper, you could always paint the 1 foot block between the 2&3 and the 4&5 a different colour. Either black so its not too obvious or go full HiVis yellow/Orange so that way you know the bit where the 2 colours meet is the foot marker. The paint seems to be holding up well on the back of the ripper so it should stay good for a while.

[@ian_b5518]

I was going to rag on the Rube Goldberg box. Instead you are so lucky to have a great team of people around you. MBTS had me laughing out loud.

[@scottnovak8903]

Torch scarf tip with directional, I cut up residential trash trash, push blades. Removes welds fast and leaves smooth finish.

[@IT_Dinosaur]

Y'all are nearly as entertaining as ole Clint & Kevin. Love the "field expediency engineering".

[@OxfordMotorsPA]

Great show as usual. Love to watch your innovations.

[@whitevamp1051]

I would cut a couple pieces of vacuum line to the correct length and then slit it and fit it over the edges. 42:56 for the section that was cut and folded for the wire. yes I know it's zipped tied.

[@lesliesisson2908]

Mike you can get some reflective house numbers and place them on the back of the plow. I don’t think the rollers will tear them off.

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

I agree Aron... 100 % on stick

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Good to see the crew back together again… even if only a fleeting glance at the Cap’n! With the official guarantee of MBTS warranty work… I think you can safely say, “That ain’t goin’ anywhere!” I liked your controller module. It’ll be so much easier to setup, use and take down! Just one question… “How come you didn’t test its fit with the extinguisher in the comment generator?” LOL Fortunately, you were able to take advantage of Mr Millenial’s BS of Velcrology from Hook & Loop University. Without that, you’d needed to issue a Public Service Announcement when your PSA failed! Everyone needs someone who has BS to help, every now and again!! Thanx Mikey, for the giggles.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Great video Mike and MBTS and Matt 🇺🇲

[@thisguysdadrose6476]

Maybe paint each foot of the chain using alternate colors

[@luludawg1]

Secret to a successful growing company is great employees and Mr. Dirt Perfect is doing it right!

Thanks

[@russellgnuse]

I weld 2" plate for transmission line with flux core and mig with no problem that part that is highly stress area may need gusset to help that area on the pull or box in there's also a lot to tensile strength of The wire to the rod

[@jamesjohnson1646]

Great job on the plow build. I'm impresse

[@nelsonannett5427]

im so late getting here been bizzy. got me a big smile seeing mbts and him grinding on ya. such fun time watching ya fix a little weak point. cheers guys.

[@darrenblattner2508]

Looks good and user friendly. The nice thing about paint is not only does it look good, it's also easier to spot cracks. Nothing is indestructible, sooner or later things will break. Thats life. Could you use the chain as a "measuring tape" when the paint lines wear off? Keep smilin.

[@Mid-michigan5]

Aaron has a great radio voice he just needs to say with confidence what needs to be done in the field 😀

[@jrhendershot1936]

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from uk Mike and crews👋👍 its amazing the plough never fully separated seeing that stress in the weld😵 but you got it sorted and hope no more issues am just pleased you inspected it 👍 control unit looks like it was always meant to.be in cab now did good job on that but you just be careful with those fixings (we both know how you and stray fixings kinda loose each other in the moment😂🙈) many more good jobs to come for the attachment tho 👌great guys, thanks for your your time and be safe see you soon👍👋

[@davidporter2374]

Try a firring strip for a guide, will not burn too bad , sometimes the steel straight edge guide tend to pull the plasma cut toward the heavier metal not straight thuough. Minor but could make a difference.

[@royordway9157]

I'm so glad that Matt explained why we are supposed to press the tape against the stuff it sticks to.

[@jrbrumley9334]

Mike, may your chain never get hung up on anything! LOL!!! J.R.

[@David-ei5lq]

How about using a center punch since you don’t have number punches for your depth markers. Then use a paint stick to fill the dots.

[@Expendible1971]

12:10 Practice might not necessarily make perfect, but practice sure does make permanent!

[@leemunger8597]

Should paint the bottom chain link orange....and do 6 inch increments on the top

[@ROTTK9]

if you paint your chain, make it 2 different high visibility colors, one color for the top and bottom and the other for the center. just a suggestion..

[@haydenuk02]

Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@stevencomer9329]

Air ark would be my choice, I would also add gusset;s at the bottom.

[@DirtPerfect]

Ok

[@gandjboyd7872]

If the Velcro fails, try epoxying some magnets on the joy stick, as for the snow , I played in it on may 10th OR-140 and CA-44 (driving)

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Love it! We all keep learning and that is one of the great things about the Dirt Perfect Channel! Great video! Thanks Guys! Lee

[@bennyhilliard7411]

Put some type of rubber on the bottom edge of the bracket for your controller, to keep it from vibrating and rubbing on the metal beside the switches.

[@unopine]

I had a pair of those "man scissors" too, and I don't remember them cutting anything with success, but I never threw them away because I kept thinking that one day I'd discover a material they would eat right through. Eventually I threw them away.

[@garystull2349]

use a 1/2 inch drill bit and follow the stencils numbers you have on It used the drill bit as counter Sync Then you could fill the holes in with some yellow paint To see from my distance
