This Insane Pond Build Gets An Outrageously Large Overflow Pipe

[@Machinist1755]

If someone watched this for the first time they would not know you and Chris don't work together every day. It always seems seamless, like y'all been working together for years. Great video.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hi Wayne, they have been working together over the years. Chris comes up to Derby and helps Mike and Mike goes down to North Carolina and helps Chris. It seems they like and respect each other.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

This is one of the few videos of you two together where I wasn't laughing the whole way through. I just admired the neat professionalism of both of you. You both take care of your neighbors in such a positive way and this bit of work is no exception. Thanks for sharing this, Mike, and I hope you'll give an update when it finishes filling up and water is running through the pipe.

[@everestyeti]

Lovely little fishing hole, nice place for a Barbecue as well. 👍

[@danielhylton4675]

Happy Thanks giving to DP and MBTS and all those around u'z guys......2024~!

[@johnF1958]

This was a great reenactment of one of Letsdig18's videos from a couple of months ago. It is good that you had Chris come and help with the choreography to make this video as real and to true life as possible. The logistics alone mmust have been a nightmare😮😮😮!!! It was like being there again😂! Reliving my youth!!! All joking aside Mike I like watching you guys working together. It's like a "DIRT" ballet with a bit of comedy thrown in😊😊😊

[@davidmcadams5542]

Great job can't believe the finish work y'all do with heavy equipment I love it and I'm wanting to see some big mulching jobs

[@yenerm114]

Looks real good fellas 👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@hydraulic-hum]

thanks for this great video, I don't recall seeing this part of Chris' video.. nice work to all involved, was different type of work to what I usually watch, very enjoyable ..

[@ThatOneGuy-ot1qd]

That turned out great Mike! Couln't have happened with out ya! (and Chris and Robert and Aaron and and and Nice work. I am impressed and owner will be too!

[@chillywilli]

Nice little project for Chris to join in. Close at your neighbour, not to big and a perfect change for him to test both the Case dozer and the Hyundai skidsteer. Bot machines in almost the same class he runs in his operation. Those machines need to be replaced at some time, this is excellent experience with some candidates. And of course spending some good time with good friends is always nice.

[@chriscombs1015]

Love you guys. Thanks for the hat. I wake every morning looking forward to your next video. I watch a lot of KZbin videos but only follow very few. You are in that very few. You run a close first with Captain Kleeman lol. Just kidding, that crazy nut. Love him though. Keep up the great content. Man behind the scenes, your the reason for the success. Chris, USN Retired, native okie.

[@americanpatriot2.06]

Always have to test the limits of the demo equipment. The skid steer passed the pipe test! Everything turned out amazing! Don't worry DP, there is nothing wrong with sounding like Captain Kleeman every now and then. We love his humor. Besides, Captain Kleeman has some DP moments. You just can't help it when there is such close camaraderie with great people!

[@John13Edge]

Watching you clean up the bank brings back memories….at the end of the first year I got proficient at run a dozer he throws me the keys to the D4(had best rop on it) and says make sure you pack the banks of the road cuts well…

[@OldSchoolDNA]

It’s always nice to see two master operators working together. You guys are competitive, hard working and goal minded men who both grew up with their hands on the controls. Great video Mike. Aron and Matt are both probably in woods chasing deer jerky and summer sausage.

[@bobbybeeman7280]

Awesome job, wish I had some of those big boy toys to play with. Had fun just watching Thanks.

[@BryonBarros-zu2bk]

Yes I’ve watched this job on both channels. Nice job.

[@miercaky]

Darn it I wanted to see Chris and you guys go at it, on the go carts!! Next time perhaps?

[@Denis-tu1pd]

Awesome finish. You had an awesome crew working on this job . This job done in dp fashion. Denis from Santa Rosa CA

[@frankmorrow2270]

Hope you and the Dirt Perfect gang had a wonderful Thanksgiving

[@georgeenriquez612]

That came out looking nice Mike. Now every time I see the 210 bucket, I’m going to think of a backhoe bucket lol

[@terryrogers1025]

Well sir, that project came out looking sweet. Case must have a Billy goat gear in their transmissions, that’s pretty steep incline to be dingen around on there youngster. Nice job gentlemen, thanks for the update.

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@ntomnia585]

Maybe some day we'll see MBTS with a cane pole, sitting on the culvert pipe trying to catch his dinner.

[@richardstepusin2922]

Great job. I can't believe how great it looks. That was a dangerous job.

[@CMDSR]

When Chris was adjusting the pipe all I was thinking was watch the pipe crack and they’re gonna have go get another piece. Good gob guys.

[@pauldillinger2286]

Always enjoy when you and Chris work together. 2 masters of dirt. Job looks perfect.

[@ronalddavis439]

Loved seeing this from your end. We watched it 3 months ago on Chris's channel. Ha ha. Y'all both did a great job.

[@dougmay8924]

Yes,!!! Keeping it Dirt Perfect with Great help,! Thanks for sharing, Great Job AGAIN 👍

[@arlisscott3455]

That seems absolutely insane coming up the bank with those machines. Amazing amount of work. Well done!

[@thebear5454]

Ya got nerves of steel Mike. 👍 Awesome job finishing this "insane pond" project. Kudos to Chris for all the help.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@yesdeere1376]

Let’s dig dirt, perfect 👍🏻

[@johnroberts8475]

It's always nice to work with experienced guys who think like you do, good video Mike

[@Michael_CS615]

Would love to hear something from Robert... always the silent one???

[@greatergood3706]

Man of Mystery

[@jimharvard]

i have run small equipment and watch a lot of "earth moving" videos on youtube. you guys and this video is one of the most professional and skilled heavy equipment videos i've ever seen. the main guy here running the excavator and dozer makes those machines move around like they are ride on lawnmowers. you have incredible machine operating skill. i can't imagine how much a job like this would cost but whatever the price, you guys did one hell of a great job!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks appreciate that

[@matthiaslonartz1313]

If the vegetation grows back, you could think, some one has build a road against a wall 😁 One hint, by transporting pipes the long way, I would set the forks against each other, as you do it now, the forks are pressed together at the tips, this force is multiplied be the length of the forks, divided by the width of the bracket, so if it the tip gets 1.000lbs of side force, the edge of the bracket gets pulled on with approximately 15.000lbs.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank for sharing , always a pleasure watch your video 👍👍👍👍

[@davidtidy4477]

Hi Mike, I have to say the job you guys did was a great watch. 👍

[@coyotiess]

Just another great day!

[@greybear3090]

got my coffee,,,wife havin surgery tomorrow, prayers welcome, lets dig!

[@jacobbuckley8232]

Man this job was right at home. No charge for having to tow the equipment

[@tommypointer7876]

We have these all over the cherokee nation in okla left behind from 60s and early 70s from strip mining, we call um strip pits and they can hold some big bass.

[@doritleis2773]

The Overflow building in the Dam to the Valley. Chris on the Excavator make the Hole for the Drain in the Dam. A Ceramics Drain as Overflow, and the Dam side Stone to lay as Sceen for the Rainwater. To last all clear from old Branch and Wood. A Perfect Work from All. 💪👌👍

[@graceland316]

My favorite thing to do on a sleepy Saturday morning is to get some sweet bread, a cup of coffee, and watch dirt get pushed around by a group of fellas that are just masters of their craft. ❤

[@robertlacour8338]

Great collaboration between you and Chris. Looks great as usual DP. Thanks again!!!!!

[@rudyfisher7660]

Like I told you. I know the videos are going to be fantastic. So I always give you a thumbs up before I watch him

[@garydillon3960]

It's always great to watch you and Chris work together. Just having family all together made Thanksgiving. God Bless and Stay Safe.

[@brianshanahan6196]

That was very Entertaining to watch and it was very obvious that you all enjoyed doing this ! THANKYOU ALL !!!!!!!!

[@ErictheAmateur]

This whole project turned out great. You guys running equipment off the side of steep banks is always impressive. In the immortal words of Dirty Harry, “A man’s got to know his limitations”. 😂

[@davidianero5528]

You guys are my favorite KZbinrs and it’s awesome when I get to see you guys work together. Thank you. Keep it up.

[@bobgrier3103]

I love collaborative videos, esp if there is a series, with 2 or more YT contributors. This was a great series.

[@kentmckean6795]

Now, you need to clean off the cliff face wall at the far end of the dam. And paint a fake tunnel entrance, Roadrunner and Coyote style!

[@shirleyc7175]

I was watching the paving project at Derby mark have you noticed they are almost afraid to talk? Is your crew the only crew that laugh, or seems to enjoy their job ?

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Mike this job turned out awesome! You and Chris work well together, your friendship is amazing! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@donnal.oglesby4806]

Glad you and your family, and all those in the Dirt Perfect crew had a blessed Thanksgiving. You and Chris, work together like a well oiled machine, even though you are in different states usually, doing their own projects, but when they get together, to help out one another, is is awesome! Both top professionals. Project turned out better than it every looked, and even the borrow bit looked like nothing ever happened in that location! Great video..

[@haroldfoust]

Hello, happy Saturday morning. November 25th. Time 7:02 AM temperature 36°.👍NC

[@stevencroon]

Sweet collaboration 😃😃😃😃

[@rockyferguson4469]

You and Aron will have to go down and put duel exhaust on his haul truck and make it sound good like Bubba Dump sounds and you all done a great job

[@Michael-fd8ob]

As Paul Harvey would say now for the rest of the story. This was some great videos and it looks awesome

[@ronaldclark1178]

I know this was filmed a while back, but the clay pipe stack is a LOT smaller! Good call getting that pipe when you did.

[@dstevens7614]

Dam good project Guys. Keep up the Good Work 👍👍👍👍👍

[@paulroxby8169]

Nice job Mike you and Chriss are the dynamic Duo of excavating.

[@BobCthegardener]

This was absolutely the most amazing project I've ever seen you do! You definitely qualify as a civil engineer. Great job 👍

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@DirtPerfect what for you thank him for insulting you by calling you an engineer? kubota skid steer maintenance / repairs showed engineers are idjits. ;)

[@dansbrown1313]

Hey Mike, thanks for a very interesting set of videos of excellent operators doing near impossible things! It should be noted that no fish were injured in the process. PS: I noticed your attempt to get Aarons ire up by asking Robert if he was a better rock truck driver than Aaron, Robert answers "Absolutely". I guess what goes around comes around.

[@benrosenbaum2962]

That was some impressive work with all the equipment. Those looked to be some steep working conditions. Great job!!!

[@jd8690]

Love watching you and Chris work on projects together!

[@deanmoore420]

Outstanding job on the pond putting the pipe in excellent video always enjoy watching👍

[@woodfella21]

I'm about halfway through watching this, the third video of this job. And somehow it seemed like deja vu, like I'd seen this earthen dam, at the bottle neck of a pond, being worked on before??? Then it dawned on me. I saw it on Lets Dig-18's channel when I was somewhat younger.

[@bobfromtheband1]

Good to see you and Chris together again, you're a good team.

[@DMAN10]

For 2 guys that don’t work together very often, you make a badass f’n team! 💪🏻 Thanks for sharing DP!

[@craigsowers8456]

What a pleasant surprise to see you and Chris working together ... my favorite KZbin "Operators". Looks like Bubba Dump's custom exhaust system is holding up nicely too

[@michaelstadtler6122]

With the repeat i was dismayed at first!😢 Then the Chief Entertainment Officer chimed in, and I realized this gunna be as good as the first time around...well yeah you excavated okay BUTT CEO kept you and "let's dig" alive!

[@michaelhuhn90]

This is one of those jobs that it's good the camera just doesn't even begin to show the grade you are working, Dam nice job Mike!

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@benchipley]

Well worth the wait Mike! God bless y’all.

[@jeangagliardi7720]

bonjour de France super video !! quelle belle fraternité

[@tapertrain1614]

Glad the brakes were fixed on the loader.

[@allancollins1531]

Loved this project thank you great workmanship and entertainment

[@gregwitkamp5583]

Very nice having this job right in your back yard

[@charlesroberts6965]

Some mighty fine..digging,pushing and hauling..she turned out perfect...now the big question is will the beavers 🦫 like your dam version or will they jam pack that drain culvert full of debris and mud 😂.. incredible job as always 😎🚜🇺🇸🛠️😇

[@maxobara1496]

Love the finish look! That rip rap was a very nice touch. Enjoyed this series very much. 🤗👍🇺🇸

[@kevinmurray7135]

Oh tell Chris have a safe trip home 😎🇺🇸 NY

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@DirtPerfect]

Thanks

[@Simont-z6i]

I enjoyed it more the first time I watched it on letsdig

[@DirtPerfect]

Good deal

[@jimmyhicks1015]

Good morning DP and friends

[@bones2610]

Good morning Mike. I am glad you had a nice Thanksgiving. It looks like you guys had fun doing that job. Do you think you could run over and take a quick vid of it now? When your not too busy and at the yard. That would be cool. Have a good weekend man.

[@cwbean3087]

Chris is the best operator on KZbin hands down! :)

[@fredcroad331]

Cool seeing this on the flip side.

[@exotictones1054]

Good Thanksgiving to you n your family.

[@williammatthews2948]

That turned out to be very nice. Have a great weekend.

[@garymessina1609]

Great video Mike but Chris aired this over a month ago it's still enjoyable thanks Mike and Aron ànd Chris and Robert

[@csnelling4]

Great job done by experts 👍

[@johnunsicker7440]

Yeap, and so many can't remember why this project looks like a repeat video. LOL Remember everyone calls DP channel the history channel lol but it is all good. DP has some great and high quality videos out.

[@BRUSHYSURFING]

Good on you for doing the DOT seminnar. It is great to help people learn how to do stuff right! thanks for all that you do!

[@kylejones2075]

Nice thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉😅

[@mischef18]

Great ending video to this project bro, ya had a great crew helping for sure. Chris and Robert were working in well with everyone too . Safe travels. Ken.

[@eddiecabrera1408]

That is amazing to see Dirt Perfect and Let's Dig 18 get together on a job. Just imagine putting in Andrew Camarata and Diesel Creek all four together on a job. That would be a amazing video. Andrew cammarata does some interesting and crazy stuff like install a radio in his truck with a chainsaw lol. Would definitely like to see the 4 collab together. Dirt perfect may have to head up North, to meet up with the other 3. What do you say viewers let's try to make it happen.💯🇺🇲👍💪🙏🙏

[@Dirt_mountain-earthworks]

Except for Diesel Creek doesnt do excavation jobs...

[@liammcgothigan2094]

Hello dp an crew good job well done

[@stevev3142]

You've got some smart beavers in Derby, I didn't know they used car tires to build their dams (at 41:13 minutes). 😀

[@Crewsy]

It all looked really nice in the end. As you were tracking the excavator out after clearing the beaver dam it didn’t look like the owner would get a boat through but the view from the new dam shows a completely different perspective.

[@charlessmyth]

[52:03] The dam worked out well. The banking would work with some grass to keep it held together

[@DavidSellars-b8l]

Very nicely executed and finished. Would you benefit by having a grizzly box to sort dirt from rock? Good project to keep Aaron under a hood during the winter. Some rail, pipe, angle, and old plate is all it takes.

[@NiklasNorlen]

It is fun to see how the machines defy gravity! Great job!

[@davidhosmer1424]

Bet the beavers are already looking to block the overflow pipe to raise the level. I see the OLD TIRE Ferries followed you from the retaining wall job. Thanks, take care
