That was a close call loading large rocks with the Volvo EC200 on the boat dock backfill project

[@dale5898]

Very nice of the land owner to donate to the Park System like that.Ten thousand thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!

[@billamick2338]

You got to love that grin on Matt's face. He really is enjoying himself in that massive machine.

[@claytonl.covell2634]

You guys are definitely an asset to the community. 👍. Keep up the good work. 💪

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@B717virtual_pilot]

You are a true asset to your community DP. Nice work!

[@scragmanw]

I sit here watching you load Bubba with every kind of material and that machine performs flawlessly. What a great asset it’s been to your business. This was a great video.

[@richardphelan8414]

This is different than Mikes usual dirt work Placing rocks with skill on either side of a metal wall in the River without a thumb on the bucket to help. You two are one hell of a awesome team to have on a project of any kind .

[@danielelwell2571]

Considering you're doing this for the community, it's a fabulous job Mr DP & Mr Mellenial.

[@kaydog2008]

All Phalanges and no thumb for this job. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐DP❕❕😜👍

[@johnroberts8475]

Can't get over how stable that Case 550 appears on camera Mike especially on hills and over rocks, impressive for such a short frame machine I think Case has a real hit in this one. 👌

[@billy-bigpapasmith574]

I love watching the machine work

[@kylesmith8769]

That 550 is a beast. I hope the community dedicated that area to the family supplying the rocks. That would cost a fortune if they were bought.

[@EricNielsen187]

A few years ago we built two 100 foot retaining walls for a customer out of huge rocks like this. The cost of the rocks and trucking cost more than what I paid for my house. Most people have no idea how expensive this would be without that Family.

[@kylesmith8769]

@@EricNielsen187 exactly, and most don’t know. And Mike has donated his time and equipment as well, that’s a large chunk as well. What a great community.

[@diandykoolman4769]

Gotta say the 200 is an impressive machine good job DP 👍

That’s a nice park. I bet is fantastic in the summer just sitting back and watching all the commercial marine traffic.

[@tujuprojects]

15:03 nice that those breaks work.

[@johnangelo5567]

Wow just watching the case put in work like it is effortless

[@I_must_get_a_van]

Hi Mike, I was amazed how well you loaded those huge rocks without a thumb. Congrats to the operator and great equipment. Cheers Steve from Australia 🇦🇺

[@Yackhammer75]

The DL550 almost reminds me of the track loaders more so then a skid steer. Awesome piece of equipment.

[@heatherlane9270]

Didn't mind the falls so much it was the embarrassment of having to be helped up :) No doubt about it though the 220 is fast and the Minotaur is a strong dirt/rock mover. Community projects and volunteers make a community - thanks.

[@davidepool5884]

I sure thought that Bubba Dump was going to get stuck as wet as it was. That Minotaur skid steer is a beast, it can be used in so many different applications in the type of work you do. Case took skid steers to the next level with that machine. You do a lot for your community and they are lucky to have you. I know they are very appreciative for everything you do for them.

[@okiemale1589]

😎👍 Big thumbs up for the channel... Big thumbs up for the community involvement... Awesome video!!!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@oldschoolhoosier]

Even though it wasn’t mentioned missing a thumb, I believe Mike would have liked to had one on the 220 for the bigger rock. I know the cameras don’t do justice to the depth but the rock has to be good size to fill in 6 to 8 foot of water that quickly. Great video DP. Enjoy watching. It went great with my coffee.☕️

[@lancejohnson16]

Awesome work! I am anxious to see the finished product. Thanks for sharing this and Derby is lucky to have you!

[@ScotReeder]

Like that skid stir, never seen one with rippers on the back

[@d.mushroomhunter3528]

PS that case Minotaur is the baddest little toy I've seen in a long time.!! I can't imagine how nice that will be around the edges of pond Dam's and foundations...

[@jamestrump9593]

That was really something different. The Case is an amazing machine and would be an asset to your arsenal of equipment, I hope you keep it. I think Matt really likes it too.

[@hellmaad]

Not gonna lie. I'm impressed how fast it's going without a thumb. Might even be a little faster because of the thumb operation time completely absent... Sure worked very good at loading for you! Great video. Thanks

[@jefffinley6569]

Wow! Never thought you could make Buba Dump into a “drift” racer! Spectacular!😂👍🏻🍀

[@nicholasbrowett6806]

That Case is a great peace of kit boom 💥

[@ddelano7408]

Well DP, that video was like an E ticket ride at Disney World! I ended up putting on my seatbelt and a hard hat after that second fall from the top of Bubba Dump!😂 I waited for you to end up in the water while watching you backing down the hill! Glad everything worked out.

Interesting project. Great camera angles on this video. The big rock loading and placement with no thumb have me leaning and twisting in suspense; awesome work Mike.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jeffgriffin7772]

Mike you need one of them "Aim"buckets designed by Chris. It looks to me it would be a whole lot easier with a thumb trying to pick up the rocks.

Building a river wall, ain’t seen that before, cool

Outstanding work I'm glad to see Matt getting some experience with the Minotaur dozer! I had to laugh at myself, every time you guys were getting stuck going up the hill I would start leaning this way in that 😆

Thanks Mike that fall off Bubba Dump while you were loading rock ,I was sitting in my lounge enjoying a quiet Beer and next I'm upside down on the ground you really put the real feeling of being there into your video,s ,oh and I guess if you put the VOLVO in the river they would want the jacket back hmmmm ,and old Bubba is a handy vehicle great brakes !!!!

hello from the Netherlands . Volvo does not make boats itself, but they do have very good marine engines for boats. Matthew is getting better with all the machines. I Love those Volvo articulating haul trucks they really are beasts of machines and as long as they have a little grip they just keep going. there are also versions with a container hook-arm system to pick up large roll-on-roll-off waste containers. and a side-loading system to pick up sea containers. I have been able to work here on a large construction site with the dump truck and the hook-lift versions and thought it was fantastic thanks for the video Mike and Matthew . Sincerely Hollandduck
