You know things are about to get serious when you put your Crocs in 4 low!😂

[@Richard-C]

just an other great video Mike thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍

[@katherinerose446]

Glad you had those lock down gears on your crocks, happy you didn't hit a yellow jacket nest❤😊

[@user-up4xb2vs2u]

You are right. A man has got to know when it is one of those days and back off till later.

[@hagak1679]

Good call knowing when to put the tools down walk away and attack it the next day. Some days just are better spent with a beer watching the boats float by.

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great job fixing your tire Captain Kleeman

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video Mike . Kind regards, Hollandduck

[@dansevern3291]

Wow! Woke up, made coffee, moved large dogs, and found a Kleeman video to watch, featuring my hero, the 755! (Was wishing for a tractor that size yesterday, realizing I've got to clean out a 30 x100 foot goat barn with the rafters too low for any of the tractors on the ranch. (I don't want to renew my license to operate the flat nosed shovel and a wheelbarrow.)

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Dan, take all possible steps to avoid it… wheelbarrow tires are always flat!

[@maxobara1496]

Mike did you really have to cut because your neighbor did? Keep them coming!! Enjoy your vacation with the family🤗👍🇺🇸

[@edwardgriffin8092]

Don't forget to put the dust cap's on the valve stems 💪

[@electrofelon]

I have a 2006? LV4010. It’s marked just 4010 on the hood, it’s a ~25hp hydrostatic machine. It’s got a 60” deck and Cat1 hitch. I can say, that mowing with that machine sounds like your beating the s**t out of it, I constantly finding myself babying it, when In reality that’s what it’s built for. Just a ramble.

[@chrishelms1967]

Boy I felt that valve falling back inside, deep in my soul

[@lonniechartrand]

As always, another ENTERTAINING video with some USEFUL tips too!

[@spencerrobinson2719]

Nice, the plus side of bush hogging with a small tractor and deck is you can get in and around rocks, trees and stuff. You are doing pretty good, your not at the put tubes in phase yet!

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great video Captain Kleeman

[@ronaldheit196]

Captain, drill a hole at the end of those cracks to stop the crack from spreading. Weld it soonest as the metal where the crack is will begin to rust out badly then require a flat plate of steel welded over the now wider crack.

[@fishnriver]

What do you know, I learned something again. Keep the videos coming.

[@jimdaly5077]

Hi another job did & done. 👍🐝🌞

[@fluffyashes]

Ole whoppa choppa its been a while glad to see ya again!

[@thedelcodave]

That view of the river is beautiful. Do you own the trees at the end of the field blocking the view?

[@goptools]

Hi Mike. Love the old 755. It gets the job done. I wouldn't mind picking one up myself, but I don't really have the need for it. Since when has that ever stopped someone? Thanks for the video! -mike

[@rcguy18]

Can’t beat those 55 series compact Deere tractors. I brush hog with a 5ft on a 855 a couple times a year.

[@Old-bold-pilot]

Next you may convert to steel toe crocks. Put those new welding skills to use. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@andrewhatch.KE0ZOS]

Mike, what we call the tool you described is called a tube chain, it does just what it is, it allows the tube to lay on the back side of the tire while you mount the last bead, so as not to pinch the tube

[@JohnSmith-tv5ep]

MIKE, gotta tell ya, your attitude is the best (on camera!) I get pretty perturbed when ya have to fix the tools to fix the tools to do the job! (Love the hammer,... double duty? Lol)

[@gwbuilder5779]

Stainless steel tractor stems are definitely the answer.👌 I use tubes in the 16.5 rims on my 843 Bobcat just because the darn things are such a pain to get on the bead. Always looking for the simplest easy solutions.😉🤙

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n I have been Jonesing for a dose of Whoppa Choppa action. And, voilà! You always come through!!!

[@bfcmik]

Nice job, looked good at the end. I'm amazed at all the minor serious problems you are able to make do and mend! Of course, the major serious stuff just needs a little more TLC on the weld table.

[@alexosborne5629]

The 755, a Swiss army knife for your homestead 😁 Obviously the tyre felt left out from the lack of tlc it had been given, and wanted to join in 😂 Preparation is the key to any job, you have it off to a fine art Sir 👍😎💪

[@CMDSR]

Totally agreed with honest Abe. Like making stir fry. 2hrs preparation 10 mins cooking.

[@clarencewiles963]

Well done ✅ you don’t want to wait more than two years before the trees will begin to take over.

[@DeirdreHickey-nx8nt]

You are so so funny Mike 😂😂😂😂😂

[@fhuber7507]

It's not the most demanding you can ask... Good maintenence will pay off in keeping it running.

[@blackdogexcavator21]

Gotta always be prepared for a hasty get away when it's yaller jacket season (as my Grandma would say it).

[@buddyreed2623]

Hi Mike. Repairing things the right way the first time may cost a little more, but it will save time later and time is money. Have good days1

[@user-kf9fv1qj9u]

Great job bush hogging Captain Kleeman

[@tomswindler64]

Nice little video Mike,maintenance,maintenance.never hurts.good video.👍👍👍😎😎😎👨‍🚒👨‍🚒👨‍🚒

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Nice to see the hill getting cut and looking good. Still love the priceless view you have from your property. You were killing me when the tip came off the air compressor. I’ve seen that quick lube now has a tip for filling tires, might be an upgrade to think about if it falls off again. 😂 Wishing you and your family the best.

[@genesispuredeaf2390]

Enjoy your time away. Come back refreshed.

[@andysukosd8177]

Great video, love watching,

[@beelerfamilyfarm]

You are 100% right. Mowing like that is a workout for tractors. Our B series Kubota uses twice as much fuel on a 5’ finish mower or bush hog vs when I cut hay using a 7’ sickle mower. Field looks good!

[@jerryc3050]

👍 good video

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Was wondering if that was the tire that lost its valve stem when you were building the KZbin yacht road. When I saw the extra valve stems inside that you accidentally shoved too far in trying to install them from the outside, it was confirmed 😂 if it ain't one things it's another for sure. Thanks for bringing us along Capt. 😁👍

[@kirk467]

Mike, if you have the valve stem 4way wrench! You can take a crescent wrench and put it on the wrench and pry against the rim and pull the valve stem through to set it in place! I hope you know what I’m talking about my friend! To me it’s better than the stem wrench with the pull cable! It pulls through like butter with a little WD-40 on the stem! Just something I was taught when I worked for the farmers! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I used to pull a 20 foot double wing bush hog on the farm! It would cover some ground! lol 😂 Thanks for sharing brother! Kirk from Louisiana! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻👌🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@larryk4146]

I have a 1998 955 with a 5ft finish mower that I mow 5 acers every week and in winter I have a 5ft snow plow that I use in the mountains of Pa. I would not trade it for a cheeper built new one

[@Bman2020]

I don’t own that bad boy the 755 is tops in my book a little jealous Iam Bud 👍👋🇨🇦

[@robertzapatka1082]

Seems like we go to do something and find something else needs fixing to get there!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

It’s a rite of passage to keep our Man Card!

[@kylejones2075]

Fun times at ridge mont high

[@KM_59]

By law I have to cut since the neighbors cut … so true cap ha ha ha

[@alanbierhoff6831]

My favorite quote is: “Never a job, always a project!” I think it’s safe to say that Mike owns a copy of ‘Bartlett's Familiar Quotations’ 😆

[@seanpierce7673]

Hi Mike. That 755 has been such a great tractor! Things a work horse! In-between it and the 555 your pretty much set ha?

[@randydobson1863]

hello mike & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks mike friends randy

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Cute video!😊 Thank you for sharing!

[@jemilapointe]

Is your thing a mabob the same as a witch a macall it here in the northeast????

[@vger66]

Thanks for another video. I always use the stainless steel valve stems. Never heard brush hogging called bush hogging. After all you are cutting brush, not bushes. Is that a reginal thing?

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Bush Hog is actually a brand name for a long time manufacturer of rotary mowers.

[@Kleeman1]

Spot on

[@hermanschepers4739]

When I worked for Tulsa Park Department we called it brush hogging, got a sister in law calls it bush hogging and she's lived on an Oklahoma farm most of her life! Guess it just depends who and where.🤯🤷

[@blondelizard5453]

Build a heavy duty Bushhog that you cannot destroy with the little tractor 👍

[@randybarber5308]

👍👍👍

[@plainnpretty]

Nice bush Hogg

[@young11984]

This is why i use bolt in metal valve stems on all my wheels

[@kenfrazier616]

wish when I got my yanmar it was a larger unit, 235

[@rossnolan2883]

😊😊😊😊

[@kenmazer9481]

👍🏻👍🏻🤛🏻🤛🏻

[@smudger797]

🤠

[@agoble123]

todays video brought to you by the word neat!

[@hvnfun8601]

Was this a test? If so, I’m quite sure the correct answer is “the Captain, in the field with a hog.”

[@HoneyDoHomestead]

have you considered welding a small guard over the valve stem? since you take it into the woods so much.

[@tugboat2739]

Howdy Captain

[@johnwhite5897]

Have you ever thought of getting a couple of goats for the bush hoggin?

[@joegordy720]

👏👏👏

[@bullittdog4352]

I was surprised to see no calcium chloride in those tires..as much as use that little tractor as a d8 I figured you would need all he ballast you could get!

[@terryrogers1025]

Builds character when you have to stop and fix things, especially when you have AMPLE time allowed for the job.🙄😏😉

[@georgerogers542]

Hows the chicken coop doing haven`t seen it lately almost saw it on this video ?

[@Beau-xf2kx]

Which side of the blades did you sharpen again Captain Camarata? 😂

[@Kleeman1]

The correct side

[@everestyeti]

Your life is like mine, you plan to start something only finding that you have to fix what you need to do the job 1st. I have a 30yr old mower and am sure I service the blades aftr every cut! 🤣😂🤣

[@callmebob9895]

If only a man had a barn to keep some four legged critters in (Goats) who could munch on that weedy pasture, just sayin🤣

[@zburdette1223]

Lock it in Mike is a the whee😊l

[@phillipherbst6357]

You need to put your goats to work. Save some time on the bush hogging. 😁

[@Kleeman1]

I don't have goats

[@Kriss_L]

"Content"

[@chadfranzen2088]

Just do your channel and projects . We don't need any explanation on how a tire holds air!!🙄

[@Kleeman1]

Ah, poor fella missed the point. No worries. It happens

[@billbyrnes9505]

You disappoint me, Captain. In most of your videos, you preach about safety, but you show such disregard to problems at hand. You said you may run into a wild bees nest. This year, for the first time, I have acquired four hornets nest, first time in thirty plus years out here in northeast Ohio, one small nest in a bush about four feet off the ground, and another attached to the eaves of the shed out back, about ten feet in the air, and finally, two in separate trees about twelve feet off the ground. ( for you winter enthusiasts.) Back to the safety issue. Riding around in the hot sun with no concern for skin cancer, laying on the ground, in a weed infested work area, between the creepy crawlies,, and an occasional snake or two, but the real reason for this comment, you forgot your Snoopy/Red Baron, safety scarf. The neck, and face are a prime tactical area for bee strikes. They, as you should know, give a warning flyby like, Topgun, to let you know you are in enemy territory, that's when you pull the scarf up over your face. Safety first. Any exposed area is a target, but the face and neck area, ouch. Love the videos, keep on truck in on that big green rig of yours. Myself, I have a 1952 Ferguson TO30, with a Woods, Dude Cutter model M5 I brush hog with. Going on thirty years now. Safe mowing.
