Going to need DL550 back to use that rake. 👍

[@MatthewBerginGarage]

Loved the clock episode. The clock is a thing of beauty and I love the fact it is still running on the weights. Your family has done a great job caring for that lovely old beastie.

[@AnyFishWillDo]

What would be cool is if MBTS got the welding done and painted it Aaron yellow before DP got back. Now that would be a video to see. Great job guys.

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Welcome to "Fabrication Perfect" a division of "Dirt Perfect!" "We build'm and Dig'm Right!" Great video and can't wait to see it with paint and in the roots! Thanks Mike & Aaron! Lee

[@RobertBancroft-fo8bz]

UGH. All that extra cutting after it was done and paid for! You guys are hard core. I was on my feet on concrete this morning rebuilding a hydraulic cylinder, and I can hardly walk. 69 years means I'm good for about half day! My neighbors homemade root rake is on an excavator. AND, the clock video, that was spectacular! I would never have gotten to see any of that without your efforts. Thanks again.

[@paulprigge1209]

Why do I suspect a new shop is closer than we think. Lol! Thanks for the video!

[@randyclyde4939]

We can only hope!

[@ronaldfloyd9512]

Never commented but have watched for a long time. The clock is my favorite. Shows your family values and heritage all in one. You and Aron both are what keeps America great.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@redcauthen771]

Ya need to go around the world and buy up all the unused ones and open up Clock Perfect Steeple Repair & Installation. 😂😂🎉🎉

[@gwbuilder5779]

The clock was fantastic! I remember the video from a few years back.👌 Absolutely amazing. I hope the tako is able to handle that monster of a brush rake.😂🤙

[@chadjennings1416]

The clock video was very interesting and cool. Glad to see you keeping your grandpa baby in tip top shape

[@jamesguinn5889]

Your bantering with Aaron makes your video so much more fun to watch.😊

[@46rambo49]

a clean, "croc free" shop, IT'S AMAZING, 40 years of working on concrete taught me good shoes, save your back, knees, and neck........you really need a Starrett 5 in one tool............ works for wood and metal...I have seen 4 attempts at "skid steer root rakes", none ever worked worth a damn....the rake on my D5 is flat iron , not near as heavy and it works famously

[@davidstewart8081]

I hear Elmer Fudd is opening up a speech therapy clinic:) Spending time and keeping time with your grandfather was the best education that you can get. A blessing! I have enjoyed watching your vids for years. Reminds me of my younger years in the shop. Lots of character and loads of fun. GOD Bless!

[@richardphelan8414]

Mike and Arron's Fab shop is open for Biz ,when they are working the shop you can't see the weather outside were in spring while the boys are in late winter but I love these shop projects Mike dreams up, you just can't argue with Mike's successes through the years .Tile plow ,tree trimming saw ,and saw horses ,good stuff guys, Mike you should be designing Tanks

[@gregm312]

clock was a thing of beauty

[@joejohnson7097]

Now that's a brush plow. I also enjoy seeing the clock video. Seem like your builds without plans do better than the ones you make plans. Thanks for the video

[@Fatamus]

I'm still around👍😁 Shop 🤗OMG can't have too much room.

[@robinadair152]

Man behind the scenes is such a valuable asset. Make him more important than you do. There is so much comeraudity. Erron is a true asset,and I know you know it. I'm glad your so flexible with your whole crew. Arron is priceless as you are to. I hope you see this arron

[@SpartanZapp]

On the topic of a plasma table. I decided to just build my own. Mine will cut 30 by 40 even the cheap plasma cutter will handle 5/8 plate. I have legs on the back with casters so when im done with it, It stands up and rolls. Off into the corner of the shop. Only takes up about a foot by 5 foot with 2 little legs sticking 6 inches past.

[@janieweyers6230]

These shop projects are getting bigger and crazier and more entertaining.

[@hankzoerb317]

If you ever get tired of operating the equipment, you two could go into business fabricating implements ! Awesome job !! I know there's a lot of guys out there that would love to have a heavy duty root rake like that one. Loved the clock/bell video also. Thanks and safe travels.

[@ronbuckner8179]

No one could afford their stuff and I’d be scared to try to move any of them.

[@oddtechman]

Before long you guys are going to be making your own custom vehicles for use!! Those last set of attachments you made.. from the tile plow trailer / tile plow and the little water line trencher to now the delimborlator and this root rake are just getting more and more awesome! Thanks as always for sharing DP! You are so lucky to have Aaron on the team, not only for his work ethics, but as a valued member of the channel and a good friend

[@kevinmurray7135]

Yes the clock video was awesome DP and MBTS 👍😎🇺🇸 NY

[@garydillon3960]

Mike have a good and safe trip. The root rake is a heavy duty jewel. Aaron sure is a great welder and if you don't hide the bright yellow paint you might come home to a surprise. A1 fab. God Bless and Stay Safe.

[@richied6319]

Oh that clock was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! It is a testimony of pure mechanical, long-lasting and stable functioning beauty! Someone who designed that piece surely used his noodle!

[@FrankRizzzo]

Just think what everyone will say , 200 years from know !! “ What were they thinking to do with this thing “ !!! GREAT JOB ! Dirt Perfect, Fabrication Team ! 👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@laceitup1]

Wowzer! That thing is massive! I love when you build your own implements. You just know they will be around for years to come. Have I mentioned how much I like seeing you and Aaron together? Loved the clock video too! Would be great, when you have the time, to see more of it!

[@MichaelJBisbano]

You guys have been doing some nice metalworking. I was a shop rat in high school from '67-'72 and learned a lot. But when I joined the Navy, they put me in the Seabees and sent me to steelworker school, where I studied all phases of metalworking. You have many good skills that must save you a lot of money on fabrication. Also, I enjoyed the Clock Tower video. I used to be a clock winder/oiler at a church with similar mechanisms and one big bell. I'm looking forward to you getting back out of the shop and moving some dirt, etc.👍✌

[@americanpatriot2.06]

New sawhorses put to the test with the next project. That root rake is a monstrosity! I think the Taco is about to meet its match! A shop upgrade is one of those projects we have been waiting for a long time! Just like Matt getting his pond properly built!

[@scragmanw]

I enjoy your inventiveness Mike. I also enjoy watching you and Aaron making your ideas come to life. Has there ever been a failure? I can’t remember one and I’ve been watching your channel for many years. Cheers to the next projects to come.

[@perrywarner7567]

The clock was awesome , I had to show that to all my family . AWESOME !!!!!

[@soundman6564]

A good thing about those steel horses is if you do cut into them you can always fill it back in with a weld.

[@stevencroon]

Can never have too big of a shop! Good morning all, enjoy😃😃😃

[@tgiacobbi]

You are out of control. That rake is freaking awesome! Great video Michael!

[@DirtPerfect]

lol thanks

[@delboy926]

The clock episode was fascinating, I was wondering if Gunner has seen it. Maybe he would like to learn how to maintain it as well. Like Father like Son!!

[@alfredomarotta6604]

Great build, guys. Looking forward to be in use. Yes enjoyed the church clock, alot. Grandpa very proud of you, taking over the maintenance on it.

[@erniehill4357]

Fab Perfect. You dream it we build it. Nicely done gents.

[@josephkrug8579]

It was nice of you to go out of town and let Aaron finish welding and come up with the paint scheme for it. :) And yeah the clock video was very cool.

[@kenlawhon-vf7bt]

Thanks for today’s video. I can have the worst day, then I watch you guys on your projects and instantly I feel relaxed. Keep them coming

[@Vickie-Bligh]

When you were measuring the skid steer and mentioning the lengths, I wondered if it would be big enough, then you laid the metal out in your shop and my mouth dropped at the size. I cannot wait to see it on the Taco. It is a beautiful piece of work and looking forward to seeing the Liminator and the Rakemaster at work!

[@bryannoback2274]

I did love the Clock episode!

[@RobbieJohnson-l2j]

I love watching you two in the shop. Mikes knowledge being a mechanic is impressive and Arron makes me laugh all the time

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@RobbieJohnson-l2j]

@@DirtPerfect I should have mentioned mbts is a great welder sorry Arron

[@ronaldvanotten6812]

Awesome work guys! I love how you are not afraid to tackle these projects, let alone, design them. Keep going! Ron...

[@bruces2665]

do not think the old wood sawhorses would have worked. Looks huge.

[@specialladyleemedlin142]

Morning Mike, and Aaron, Those new saw horses our great, As much needed, as was cleaning up the shop. To have a place for everything, and everything in It's place, make life so much easier!!!. I have always lived by that rule, sure keeps stress out of one's life!Stay safe, Keep on Smiling. Later, Wanda In Bartlesville, Ok.

[@myrddinpynn6902]

The clock was great such a unique piece of history. And now the root rake wow, extend the shop don,t rebuild. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@retrodad6864]

Made me chuckle. You explaining the mistaken 4 inch should have been 4 and an 8th and MBTS saying he was going to cut off a torch width. It reminded me of my late favourite uncle Cyril who would say to me whenever we had a similar issue “Steve just take a bees wing off it” 😂😂😂 Another epic build. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍

[@charlesroberts6965]

Again fellers.. you've missed your calling.. that's some mighty fine fabrication once again... extremely strong design and it will serve you well... looking forward to seeing you taking it through it's paces. Appreciate you sharing this amazing build with us. 😎👨‍🔧🛠️🇺🇸🔧

[@edwardreilley2529]

It's really great to have a shop connected to your house...but as you point out, you "need" more shop space. Another project might be converting your storage shed out side the shop to a building extension to hold a plasma cutting table...and perhaps a shed extension to house what's out under the shed...after you cull it and haul extras to your new farm.

[@billtheunjust]

Itd be cool if you made a mounting bracket for it on Bubba dump so you could transport it on the front. Maybe even mount it with the skid steer plate facing out so the skid steer could directly put it on/off. (idk if it's too wide for the road though)

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Awesome video! Awesome job! DP and Aaron, sweet! I can hardly wait until you put it in the field.😊

[@thebear5454]

Holy Schnit Batman. Another awesome "Killdozer" attachment out of the Simon garage.

[@justinmills8084]

I love having an idea and building it. I think that we think about things a lot the same. I enjoy seeing your projects come to life.

[@UK-Expat-in-USA]

@DirtPerfect is Aaron a certified welder, as he always does a great job!

[@Stinker337]

WOW! What an AMAZING build. I watch all of your video & live content and this here is by far my favorite. Watching you build something from scratch. It's a big learning curve but I have a 24" X 24" and a 48" X 36" CNC Plasma tables and love making stuff with both of them.

[@hollandduck79]

Hello from the Netherlands. thanks for the video DP and Aaron . Kind regards, Hollandduck

[@philipberry2704]

The clock video was Awesome ❤ Loved It !

[@Jammer.1]

That clock video is history & now your following along with your grand fathers legacy keeping it running & could pass it on to your kids to keep it running into 2050 and beyond

[@motor2of7]

Mike, consider a Langmuir Systems plasma table. The smaller one handles half a sheet, which will accommodate most anything you’ll need to cut, and you can definitely find space for it in your shop. They’re also a lot less expensive than the big tables.

[@markecklund3125]

All the while the build was going on I could not HELP but have a gut-wrenching fear creep in that when you try to move that beast the hoist was gonna get ripped out of the ceiling....Glad it worked out. ALTHOUGH, I was still convinced that the 50J was the better vehicle to attach it to. We're ALL waiting for the ivdeos of the new toys at work.

[@Nick-nw6zg]

That Clock is awesome. Very very interesting how that worked.

[@brianroberton3075]

Looks well built fellas! I got a laugh out of the covered welder/plumber crack!😂😂 It happens sometimes!

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

WOW!! This is yet another Mike and Aaron Fabrication Build, that is by far Dirt Perfect! Great Video, and work from both of you, and appreicated the video on this build, can't wait to see this in action. Have to admit, THIS is 100 per cent better than some of the attachments you had seen at auctions., and at least you know that it will last as well.

[@jefferyroberts8076]

Made in the USA definitely going to be better than those auction buys.

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike and Aaron another awesome build! Heavy duty! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@robertlacour8338]

I love these kind of builds because DP is the visionary and MBTS in the doer of welding. I’m thinking you might need the DL 550 back. Love the video guys can’t wait to see it painted (MBTS yellow)and in action. Thanks!!

[@tomwainwright7102]

M & A Fabrications do it again.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@davidepool5884]

That rake looks awesome! You might need to add a brush guard on the top of it to protect the skid steer window and driver from limbs coming over the top.

[@dansbrown1313]

Thanks Mike, "Mad Max" Derby style.You may have to purchase the Minotaur to push it though.

[@lindaleslie5634]

Y’all are such a complimentary team…y’all kinda razz each other but cover your shenanigans to build the perfect “clock”… yeah, I know you’re not building clocks but your precision on everything you do is is spot on as if you were building a Clock, so it would work in perpetuity! Lol 🎉🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

👍🏻the teeth of the beast here👍🏻👍🏻 the clock was a great video Arron was awesome 👏🏻

[@leolarocque-h4e]

Love the clock video his Amazing .you must make another one . Mike . like that Roots Rake .Can't wait to see it in Progrest or working .

[@ashtoncrow9368]

I love watching y’all make your own attachment! I think it’s great to see how an operator can make a better product for the jobs they do. It’s not always a one size fits all world. Y’all are keeping the trades interesting and interest in the trades alive!

[@jimkavalier2831]

Minotaur needs to make a comeback for this ! Looks good guys! 👍

[@crkproductions5000]

Love the in-shop engineering videos

[@normfromhawaii1173]

It is amazing what a little space, the right equipment and the drive to use them all can produce - Dirt Perfect memories! With Aloha...

[@dennis2376]

Let war of paint begin. :) Can not wait to see if it does the job. Thank you and have a good day.

[@dale5898]

I really like these fabrication videos. You guy do great quality work. Thanks for your hard work!

[@keithsuits9792]

I believe the root rake will be used a lot this was a great video loved the clock also.

[@fransinyard891]

Good morning sunshine! Yes I loved the clock video! Much love from Henderson Ga USA

[@corpnut2906]

i like the name Mad Max for the rake. one heck of a build that anyone could replicate if they wanted too. paint it green with the connection plate being black and the outside rakes being the "yellow" from Aaron

[@stevenhogan8476]

Loved the clock video! Those were the days that things were built to last and not be throne away! Nice rake but I believe it’ll be to much rake for the skid steer, hope I’m wrong!

[@JayMcGinness574]

I Like it Alot. I always build stuff for maximum destruction too. And that looks great. Cant wait to see Aaron put it to work!

[@garydavis786]

I hope when you come back, Aaron has it all welded perfectly, and ...painted YELLOW!

[@williewombat1851]

Aron! perfect time to get the welding done, and paint the tynes alternate Red and White! ....COOL! 😄

[@Jamieclarke88]

Very cool mike and mbts can’t wait to see it in action 👍👍

[@Lau-zon180]

That clock was amazing,I had no idea how the bells worked

[@BarryCouch]

I agree with MBTS, that clock was awesome.

[@jasonhovey815]

Yes the Clock video was OUTSTANDING!!!!!!! And I need one of these on the front of my H2 and take a drive thru DC, LOL!!!!! I will be assisting all those cell phone distractor walking out in traffic.
