thanks for the shout out mike! always love seeing you in the live streams and commneting! nice to see you back at this project. nice to see the dozer doing well.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No problem man Thanks buddy!

[@technicalitems731]

You certainly know how to control the dirt spillover and make pretty spill over slopes. Linear with road direction. Control it before it pours over and you can’t get it back!

[@DIRT-BOSS]

That's key know at all times where the dirt is flowing! 👍🏼

[@technicalitems731]

Had a typo. Meant to say “you” know how to control spillover. I edited it lol

[@stedder8436]

Komatsu stuff is always great in my book.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy

[@kevinpoore5626]

You must have loved playing in dirt when you're a kid I know I used to love doing it and I love operating equipment when I can it's not what I usually do but I love doing it and it's always nice to make it easier for other contractors I wish other people would do that made love making our lives hard keep on digging

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes sir thanks!

[@dalepremo3695]

More Dirt Boss artistry! We could watch you all day - thanks for posting. Happy 4th to you & your family, my friend.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Dale happy 4th to you both!! 🎆

[@ceadeses]

I just subscribed to your channel after watching a bunch of your videos. You are the best at explaining and showing what you are doing. Now back to watching your previous videos.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy 👍🏼

[@michaelkoop6731]

Like that new dozer. Like the wide tracks on it. Looks great and like it can do lots of work.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks buddy 💪🏼

[@dackerson5]

Hey Mike, awesome dozer video. The foundation for this house is huge... That will be a really fun driveway to plow in a typical NY blizzard! Good luck to that homeowner! 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Right no thanks!

[@larrywall1642]

Love that sound

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks shes a growler

[@sonnyblazer5504]

WOW! You thought of us with a 'holiday treat'! How nice and thank you! Nice to see that site again and at this time of year; early on so lots will get done. Again, you've captured great screen shots of your work efforts, handling of the equipment and love for the job! Tonight, at one point, I got to hear that 'dozer' working on what sounded like the idle of the engine and it can push and never break a sweat. You handle everything like a 'kid with a video game'. It's in your blood, good buddy, for sure! Your assignment is NO WORK for the 'holiday'. Do something for YOU and your Great Family, God bless and Happy 4th of July! Sonny (CT)

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Sonny it was fun just playing in a sandbox! 💪🏼

Looks like fun compared to breaking up that shale for the last pool... beautiful property ! Love to see you be Parker's foreman on Gold Rush.... first time he'd give you lip you'd give him a dope slap.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes sir Thanks

[@louisianadirt2188]

She’s going to turn out to be a good ole dozer😁. Nice camera shots

Dirt Boss Masonry & Excavating same time you and your family

[@Kushert]

Yeah buddy

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks man

[@mikekopie9897]

Got to give the engineers at Komatsu credit for the design of that dozer. Other brands seem primitive next yours. I'm impressed every time I watch your videos. You never know what you're getting when buying used, it's a roll of the dice. Looks like you got the bugs worked out of it. Looking good Dirt Boss! 👍

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks Mike 😁

[@DirtBrute]

Theres something Very relaxing about running a dozer

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Yes indeed

[@digndurt6936]

When? Lol

[@DirtBrute]

Dign Durt .when your just pushing around dirt .I find it therapeutic LOL

[@digndurt6936]

@@DirtBrute ya I hear you. I love it myself when I can block out everything else that needs to be attended to. When it gets too monotonous is when I get stressed out. Self employed back then I'd leave it for a while. Not such a problem when I was working for a large outfit, the business end of it all was their headache not mine.

[@DirtBrute]

Dign Durt where I live working for these guys is the headache and stress. lol

[@digndurt6936]

Nice dozer, I'd like to try out some new machines..

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks bud

[@evtoilnj]

Big Mike when you gettn back on that church job. I wanted to see what you were gonna do about those walls that are blowing out

[@DIRT-BOSS]

That's been done last year! I did get some video on it you'll have to try to find it!

[@tylerpittmon7936]

Nothing like a good Dozer vid. How’s the Komatsu been since she was fixed?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks bud it's been behaving very nicely!

[@TrainboyRR]

i like the sound of your bulldozer and could you do a cold start start of the dump truck and does the excavator have a horn on it

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Thanks man 💪🏼

[@TrainboyRR]

Dirt Boss Masonry & Excavating your welcome

[@bobwebber8521]

My eyes are not what they used to be but do the tracks on the dozer look a little on the thin side? Thanks for the video.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Halfway!

[@technicalitems731]

Update on the komatsu. How is it doing in comparison to cats comparable dozer? Parts just as cheap and available? Mechanic familiarity? Cost of ownership lower? Looks to be nice

[@DIRT-BOSS]

I think it's first in its class.. dealer support is really good.. thanks

[@tedohio3038]

That would have been a fun dozer job. Did you check you intake manifold on skid steer ? Happily 4rh.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No I haven't yet.. didn't Mike have that bracket off before when he did his injectors though? 🤔

[@tedohio3038]

Not sure.

[@memyselfandifarmer]

i think you mentioned once the drive got fixed you might get rid of it. what is your thought's now, thanks. happy 4th. here in west pa it has been dry. no rain till july 6. i hope to finish baling hay and get it in the barn this weekend.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No at first when I had The troubles I was discouraged but once you get the previous owner out of the machine with there maintenance mishaps..All good ! Thanks Good luck with the hay.

[@arnoldromppai5395]

@@DIRT-BOSS i think what he is asking, first you spent25k on a final drive, then you had the dealer out working on it for i think 3 days trng to find out why one side was driving faster then the other, and after they worked on it for 3 days, at this job site.. they told you ether pump was bad or a valve i think it was, and nothing more been said

[@sonnyblazer5504]

@@arnoldromppai5395 Well, luckily, thanks to meetings and lots of documentation along with a couple capable mechanics we get to see it do what it was made for and hear that great sound and watch MIKE at what he does best. Many things are said in the heat of the moment as we all know. All that snow has melted and now we have this virus thing. I wish us all well as I thank 'The BIG GUY' for yet another one. Happy 4th to you and yours, Arnold. Sonny (CT)

[@arnoldromppai5395]

@@sonnyblazer5504 thanks for the reply, but that dont answer what the problem/s were and why it took the dealer mechanics 3 days and still didnt really know what it really was, not a good sign og a good dealer, mechanics on hand, its not always a great sound, i have spent a life time on, and working on heavy equipment

[@sonnyblazer5504]

@@arnoldromppai5395 Well, I love the DIRT BOSS and he's been a straight shooter and HONEST with us. "Whatever" with the DOZER evidently was handled and is working. "BOSS" shares with us what we need to know and 'what he has license to do'. That said, for me, it's in the past and a done deal. Let's go celebrate the holiday - beer or coffee - I'll buy!

[@Eric-zb6nx]

Hey mike how does that dozer track? I got a cat d6k2 it’s very smooth on b gravel, dirt, and hard gravel. But on loose A gravel it will start tracking really choppy almost bouncing doesn’t matter if I’m doing it by hand or automatics.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Well B gravel is a harder material so that might be causing your issue I haven't really come across this.. how is your undercarriage percentage?

[@Eric-zb6nx]

@@DIRT-BOSS our b gravel is just dirt sand with a hint of gravel in it. The dozer is brand new the first time it I was grading limestone A it was really choppy. I thought it was the build up of limestone dust on the tracks so I took a pick axe and chopped it off but it still tracked choppy on loose A. Otherwise it’s very smooth on everything else. Wish I tried a komatsu.

[@mmiller89]

Notice that there is no benching/ shelfing, on the basement walls. Do you have a explanation?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

The soil is class A soil...clay hard pan.. but I did shelf the left side before I left. Thanks

[@mmiller89]

Awesome, glad safety come first. Any wall over 4 ft tall needs to be properly shelved, it saves lives.

[@DIRT-BOSS]

@@mmiller89 yes i agree

[@jeffcostello5202]

What kind of grading is that?

[@DIRT-BOSS]

That would be called rough grading my friend

[@Forestryman707]

Any plans to run gps

[@DIRT-BOSS]

No not at the moment if I had a big site division I would think about it

[@jeffcostello5202]

Just Pushing dirt over vegetation is not grading, you should know this

[@DIRT-BOSS]

Everything's been pushed over there several times.. never said it was grading The title says playing on a Komatsu! Thanks
