Last job with the 140 and its nice to have a good crew that don’t need me on the lake job!!

[@Gomisan]

The thing I find amazing is just how much the process has changed since the earlier big dam builds I watched on your channel. Pushing dirt with multiple dozers, mixing and building the lifts for the core etc. and now... a well oiled machine moving dirt with bubba dump!

[@kennethney4260]

I think the process varies depending on the lay of the land, clay/dirt distribution and overall size of the pond. You can only push so far with a dozer before it makes sense to truck it instead.

[@Gomisan]

I think that goes without saying, but the 'dance' is different and I think more efficient.

[@littlejason99]

Nothing better to enjoy my coffee with than a new DP video!

[@Cedarsman.]

Agree 💯

[@cliffblackburn8102]

Absolutely 💯✌️

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks guys

[@Cedarsman.]

@@DirtPerfect Mike , we do really enjoy what you do and what you present , and the way that you introduce it on videos . I remember as an Electrician, when we was working on a project, and the project is about to finish, we was making a big gathering with all the teams ( construction, plumbers , carpenters .... ) And we was making barbecue , and it was a pleasure time to celebrate the finalizing the works .🤗

[@donash3199]

A big cuppa dark roast coffee with DP video is a great way to start my day. ☕️

[@CanandianPeriod]

You definitely have a very good crew. Gerry on the dozer and Matt coming along good on excavators and good on the haul truck. Capt.Kleeman good all around worker and machine operator. A team like this makes a big difference to the bottom line too !!

[@flick22601]

You forgot my hero, MBTS.

[@dljones61]

Well, MBTS being so short is is easy to Over look him 🤣 but yep can’t forget the steel man👍🏻

[@DMAN10]

Really taking shape now! Bubba Dump continues to prove he was a most wise purchase (gremlins and all). His ROI must be stellar at this point! 💪🏻 Thanks for sharing DP!

[@heatherlane9270]

Newer machines for the future on the way, sad to see the 140 go and the skid steer, don't think it will be missed. Pretty spot on the river and trees be gone. Matt is becoming quite the haul truck and excavator operator whilst the 'work horse' never stops one the work horse 850j. Great video.

[@okiemale1589]

A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... The lake is really taking shape... Awesome video... Good job guys... 😎👍 Big thumbs up!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks 👍

[@terryrogers1025]

Kind of bittersweet to see the 140 on its last project for DP, hopefully it does well for the new owner. Your dam/pond project is progressing nice considering the start you had with all the rain. Thanks for the ride along sir.

[@laceitup1]

Shaping up quite nicely!

[@thomasdesmond2248]

DP got what he wanted a Takeuchi with a Yanmar engine. Congratulations Mike. God bless

No Captain's doctor said the opposite. Looks fine on the outside. Total wreck inside. Lol God bless

[@blaqmagic4833]

I'm looking forward to seeing the latest Pond build completion.

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Another great video! I gotta think, you wouldn't be this far ahead without Bubba and the 850J! Like'm both! Thanks Mike, Matt & Jerry! Lee

For the Army heavy Equipment Operators you always put the Bucket or Blade on the ground before you leave the seat.

[@redblacksaxerc8886]

Even though you sold that Volvo 140, I'm hoping you go with the Volvo 220 like Chris. I'm not an operator; I just really want to be. It's my dream to own and operate that particular machine

I just commented on captain vid that the volvo is gone and the 120 lives on to work another day. good day on both sites. nice job fellas. cheers.

Humidity is a big reason I live where I do. The Dew point is 39 today. It rarely gets above 50. Night time the temps are usually in the high 50's in the hottest months. We don't have AC. We draw in the cool night air with a whole house fan and close up in the morning to conserve the cool. We only get a few days in the 90's every year.

Mike you do a really good job of touring the job sites to explain things, show all the progress and steps to keep the project moving forward. I appreciate the extra effort it takes to put quality videos together. Excellent work all the way around! Nice work by the entire team.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@pinwizz69]

Well, it's definitely a pleasure when old Jerry joins the crew and Matt gets ahold of the camera. The pond sure is shaping up real nice Mike. By by to the 140. I've no doubt you'll end up with the Beast in your inventory now that you've seen what it can do.

[@leviflanigan9528]

Going to miss the 140 being on the channel but love seeing the Hyundai and bubba dump working and love the 850j

[@michaelhuhn90]

It's getting there Mike! You guy's have been lucky to have that much good dirt to do a fine job on the Dam and the compaction is just fantastic. I can't wait for your breakdown on the decision on the 210 this has made me crazy wondering what you chose. Keep up the good work Guy's!

[@rjshearon2187]

In order to rip while backing, looks like you could sink the shanks maybe 2/3s deep, then remove the pins holding the shanks in the ripper and raise the frame up and off the shanks. Next move the dozer around to the back side of the shanks, and lower the frame over the tops of the now reversed shanks. Put the pins back in. All this from my arm chair, from which most things are just as easy.

[@mannymercado716]

You guyz are awesome the way you are in sync with the work flow. Very nice to watch!

Could you even imagined where you would be before starting with youtube. How your business and equipment have changed that you established yourself here? The opportunities and friends that come with being a youtuber. That can do attitude and the people you have to support you and the channel is something that keeps me wanting more. It's a big undertaking to open yourself to all of us to enjoy and criticize the way you run your business and life. You won't make everyone happy it what you do but for watchers like me I have enjoyed it very much so. Your hard work and ethics really are a bright spot in all that is going on. Yes true people do exist and I thank you for that.

Great work guys, one heck of a team. The equipment is working exceptionally well together. Hard to tell, but it seems watching the Hyundai 210 and Chris's Volvo 220, I think the Volvo might be a little faster. Hard to tell on video though. Project is coming along very well. Thanks for sharing.

[@abikerinpa]

Simple way of fixing the horn Matt , go get one of them $2.99 horn at your local car shopping place and mount it on the dash 😎

[@chillywilli]

That dam is building nice. Everything driving criss cross and still everybody doing its thing. Really like it. The Volvo was a good decision, you now know you what you can achieve with a bigger machine on this project, the Deere is still fine for smaller jobs. The Kubota was a nightmare, hope the Takeuchi will bring more joy on the jobs to come.

[@archangel729]

Wire directly to a push button on the dash bypass the toggle on the string column

[@joejohnson7097]

Starting to take shape Jerry love that dozer. Matt took little extra break time. I only had 15 minute breaks thank for the video

[@mischef18]

Yep sure made for great viewing guys. Safe travels bro 👍

[@garymurt9112]

To fix the horn, first make sure the horn works. Find the noise box and supply power to the contacts to see if that's the problem, then figure out the fuse and check it and might try adding power to the fuse contacts to see if the horn blows after that figure out how to take the butto off to expose it and check the contacts there.

[@dansevern3291]

Nice job, and nice job on keeping "super secret" stuff, even with Kleeman's earlier video, didn't catch on about the Volvo. (Not at all surprised on the Kubota.)

On most sites in the UK they have porter loo's so you haven't got people going off site!! 👍

[@edgundlach2811]

Hi Mike. It's been great watching you as you transition away from the house building towards excavation. Then watching you grow your excavation business. Training your men, and acquiring equipment. It's a close call, for me, but I think buying bubba dump, along with you being able to diagnose and service bubba dump yourself, puts the biggest smile on me. Seeing how much more efficient the jobs go with dirt moving because of it. Myself along with many others get a real sense of joy watching you and the team succeed in all you do. I think that's because you try your best to exceed people expectations and not cut corners. Hope you are having a great day! Ed from Chicago!

[@ronpeacock9939]

I remember the last big pond job.. where you were using the 8500 to move dirt... Now with Bubba, if I want to see work with the 8500 I have to watch Kleemans channel. Something tells me, You kinda like that truck. If you do keep the 210, I think you need to invest in at least 1 (maybe 2 ) new buckets for her. 1. A grading bucket like you have for the 120/140. (and I know you love that bucket.. chris complains on every company job when he can't use it and would like to).. 2 A bigger digging bucket. The one you have looks just smaller than what I see Chris use on his 220. (though I could be wrong.. video does lie.. the bucket on the company 250 don't look much bigger but it is).. Still, looks like you guys are making pretty good progress.

Those rocks would be excellent fish structure.
