Using Old Backhoe to Build New Road To our New Property!

[@martingillard6572]

By Golly thank you for the great video Captain!

[@patrickgregory2826]

Thanks

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate the support

[@UpTheHarbour]

Cool project by golly gee whilagers

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks! Lol

[@HalsPals]

I was just telling the wife that I sure wish that I was more like Mike. But you are rubbing off, bud. I appreciate it. Getting my projects done at a much slower pace but they're getting done.

[@bobmoroney3643]

Love that "IT STARTED" sound.

[@clarencewiles963]

555 Ford is an Ace. Those big rocks 🪨 could be used for property marking, entrance to the Driveway, and just about anything that needs attention!

[@jamesfoulger2098]

When life gives you lemons make lemonade

[@mooshaker]

By golly it surely sucks when your sd card is corrupt. It's lucky for you you seem to have an unlimited number of projects to keep us all entertained. Much appreciated btw.

[@CMDSR]

The 555 really flexing her muscles on this one.

[@fuzion430journey3]

I always fold my mirrors in and put my hard hat on before I Press play on your videos😂

[@CaptainKleeman]

It's the right move

[@PiezPiedPy]

Nice to see those "comments unapproved" fixes still working :)

[@blackdogexcavator21]

"Good for content, bad for my morale". I felt that.

[@waynerudiger1756]

What a difference to the last road you built, with the 755!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Big improvement

[@bullittdog4352]

No better content than road building in southern Indiana with the fall colors happening in the background.

[@dvandkq]

That 555 is giving back every ounce of love you've poured into it!

[@graciemaca6996]

It's a good time to remove trees and stumps while the ground is wet, but not drenched. The roots seem to come out so much easier than if the ground is bone dry. (As long as you don't get stuck in any mud😮) I always liked when my dad dug down deep in the earth with his 'clee-track' bull-dozer, he often uncovered items that accidently got buried there from decades before. I ❤ to think about who may have lived on the land hundreds of years prior and what 'treasures' they may have left behind. That always spurs my interest when I see you-tubers digging with an excavator. I❤ that natural creek bed & rock wall on your property! Sweet!

[@I_must_get_a_van]

We all have disappointments in life but we all move forward with our dreams. Keep up moving forward 😀. Cheers Steve 🇦🇺

[@roy-kw4g957]

I am continuously amazed at what you can do with that 555. That was a great acquisition from Clint for you.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

Absolutely nothing like another adventure that you are on Captain. This is exciting! Thank you for sharing! 👌 😊

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate ya watching

[@maxobara1496]

Playing in the mud again Captain!! You take good care of that yacht while it’s in dry dock😉👍🇺🇸

[@chadfranzen2088]

Your catching up with Matt on Diesel Creek.😆😆

[@davidbrooks6455]

Building some of that church limestone into your new bridge would be cool

[@raytalbot5890]

Many cameras will make KZbin editing easier 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@rons3103]

Mike, The Best, award winning, KZbin Yacht footage ever, explained! 😂😂 Those Dam Cameras! Maybe it's worth using your phone for safe film footage, if possible. And, while your clearing a path to the new crossing, you should dig and check for Clay for the new pond build! 😃😃 With all that land, you may need to upgrade the Whappa-Choppa!

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

You are the "poster boy" for why I never take my tractor down in the woods after September first. I realize that anything you can get done now puts you ahead in the spring and the trees come out easier now but you risk getting stuck and making a mess.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Good point, should probably do nothing on account of being afraid to get excavation equipment stuck....lol

[@SWAMPHUNTER644]

Only you can determine that but I've gotten stuck enough and somehow managed to get out to be cautious. It looked like you were on the verge of getting stuck several times. When I did get stuck, it left a mess.@@CaptainKleeman

[@hollandduck79]

hello from the Netherlands. with one or two of those large stones in the bucket of the front loader you have a nice counterweight for the backhoo . and with that weight in the bucket of the front loader low near or on the ground, you have built in extra safety against falling over on the slope by lowering the center of gravity. thanks for the video Mike. Kind regards, Hollandduck

[@dougmay8924]

Thanks for all you do for us!!! 😅

[@martinwyke]

I think you should build a wood chipper, even a 50cc moped engine is powerful enough for shredded shrub and a 125cc for anything short of trunks. It would make for a great video project.

[@leer-winnobbeefarms2131]

Build'n road is fun! Me & my Case 480C we go places people about chock on their coffee when they see it. I put the boom up hill and around the hill we go! Be safe and can't wait for the next installment! Thanks, Mike! Lee

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@ronaldclark1178]

Captain, if you come across a piece a 12 or 14 " pipe, make a weight for the rear of your 755. Put a plate on each end with a lift arm pin, weld to your pipe which is filled with concrete, and you have a weight which is heavy and short. Works great, much better than the brush cutter sticking out back. Keep up the Good Work!!

[@HootMaRoot]

Like the old timers did with tractors, concrete a 3point spreader bar with a bunch of scrap pig iron and steel

[@michaelrobbins9679]

If you make it bigger. And have bearings on the center line... you can have a roller! ;-)

[@keithweaver3639]

Captain you should consider building a hydraulic dump trailer to go behind the 755 now that you have the 555 to load it with so you can move more material at once

[@wildtimbrown]

Sorry to hear about the loss of content there Bud :-(. You made a great recovery tho. Congrats on the new dirt!

[@jeffpotter3453]

Thx Mike for dropping us on our head...... multiple times! 😂

[@CaptainKleeman]

Lol

[@royscarbrough3589]

You are getting it done! Now for some kleenman decals on that backhoe😊. I think your “ford” will be great as long as you add concrete exit/entrance ramps to the sides.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Good you picked up the land. I've been playing with rock,stone,and gravel at my Little building. One thing I noticed is rocks are heavy..... Been fun for me though.

[@CaptainKleeman]

They are definitely heavy lol

[@timcaron9049]

.With you there is always a new project going on. Variety is good for the soul. Buying land beside your own is always an investment in the long term. Great for us too, that means more videos to see. Take it easy and be safe. All the best.

[@jimmowers7675]

Great video Mike. It’ll be a nice adventure for you and I’ll enjoy seeing what you do with it. Thanks for sharing.

[@Ned609]

The bridge project is what got me here glad to see there is going to be a v2

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n you certainly have a divining rod for finding potential revenue streams! I hope this road build and rock garden start flowing freely. My neighbor is always on the lookout for unusual rocks. His cousin owns a feed store and garden center. They sell them to landscapers. I personally have never bought a rock that wasn’t crushed into gravel… but, I have toted a few up to the feed store to trade for deer corn! Thanks for looking after me… just glad I wore my fall protection this morning!

[@seanpierce7673]

Hi . You know that 555, is just what you were needing Mike. It sure gets the job done! May not look like much but it sure works! And that's all that matters!

[@leol1682]

Good Video Mike on the new property .

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@waltermattson5566]

The new road is looking good.

[@buddyreed2623]

Who says, "By golly." The answer is simple, Captain Kleeman. He has all kinds of unique sayings. Have good days!

[@garulusglandarius6126]

Excellent Mike 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧

[@Michael-fd8ob]

You are definitely making some good progress on your property.

[@randydobson1863]

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

[@gregallsup9522]

Awesome Video!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@rafaelramirez4371]

Mike nice pice of property is glad to see you do all that hard work 💪 👍

[@tombauer7330]

Mike, one of the things I like about your content is that it is so honest. When you screw up, you don't edit it out, you just share it. Great!

[@jacobproctor3504]

Vevor sells a tooth bar that would probably fit on that bucket and make digging a lot easier.

[@BlueDually4x4]

I say bygolly once and a while. That 555 is definitely the diamond in the rough you needed, little TLC and its doing just fine at what you need it to do. Bummer about the lost video files, that always stings especially if there was some good stuff on it.

[@doclull1989]

Hey Cap!! Congrats on the land addition. Looking forward to seeing the road build.

[@Crewsy]

Knocked over twice in one video. That’s nearly a Captain Kleeman record. 👍🏻👍🏻 Looks like a great place to cross a creek if it cleans up nice enough.

[@allensharlow7763]

Your new piece of land , is starting to look great Mike, can’t wait to see what you do with it 👍👍😎😎🍮🍮

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks 👍

[@chrisbarr1359]

Buying land is never a mistake. Congrats 🎉

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks

[@brianwilcox5807]

Looking great, I almost forgot how much the 555 hates the cold, it’s amazing the difference a few degrees makes.

[@michaelmcclure8673]

Boy Captain Kleeman, you was a busy lil worker bee.😊😊

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@FlapjackMcGee]

Well, if I watch this video several times, can we pretend we are racking up the views that the video from the corrupted card would have gotten? Glad that if something had to disappoint, it wasn't the backhoe! Keep on expanding your awesomeness, and by golly, I'll be looking forward to the next one.

[@jamessimon7367]

Mike you amaze me with all your determination and perseverance! Glad to see you moving forward on the youtube yacht, enjoying your humorous dialogue! How about an update on the animals and the building?

[@claudethomas8084]

I knew that backhoe was going to worth gold to you. Great job, keep up the great energy you have.

[@chrishelms1967]

Camera's Memory Card fails.......Mike immediately says Neat ........Then takes his revenge by knocking down the camera twice....... NEAT😏

[@thomasdausch8557]

Great video , tks for sharing it,

[@CaptainKleeman]

Appreciate ya watching

[@zburdette1223]

Mike, keep it coming . Everything is for your family and viewers. Use the big rock as a map of the property. 😊

[@dansevern3291]

Very nice. Also glad to see that someone else has bent the 1 1/2" (or larger) steel that loader forks hang on. Of course, I had to use a significantly larger tractor to do it, but if you need a section of that steel that's shaped like a shallow "W" (and can get it out without cutting the frame), I'll be happy to let you have that one! Take care.

[@dennishill3463]

Thanks 👍

[@robincochran1304]

Hey Mike those would make great address rocks.

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing, those were certainly some cool looking rocks, hopefully someone close to you thinks so too. Sad deal loosing the videos on your memory stick. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@chadhutchins646]

Looks like some great content to come.

[@danielashford2430]

Fun video brother,peace to you and yours…

[@mikestrand3747]

Looks good bud..cant go wrong with a good road project

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@davidcolesr.8628]

By Golly Mike, You are a Natural @ this KZbin thing I’ve said it Time & Time again! Darn shame you lost that Progress Video on Account that was a Big Step. I look forward to You getting us up to speed on it as soon as possible. Living the Good Life, Buy Every adjoining Property that Presents itself as I’m thinking You Will, My Opinion. I’ll catch you on the next one, Keep It Safe Out There Sir

[@wadeshore]

Good fun 😃

[@bobbydawson7706]

Enjoyed the video 🎉🎉❤

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks

[@gordbolton27]

That is a very interesting collection of flat rocks you have there!

[@stevehanke1842]

At 4.20 I think he was enjoying a lil four twenty!

[@bobmoroney3643]

Don't make old Dirt Perfect jealous with your fine machine and exceptional skills. 😂

[@garymessina1609]

Great video thanks Mike

[@MatthewJRedmond]

Road is off to a great start, love seeing the ol 555 earn her keep and get things done with you behind the controls Capt. Definitely a solid investment in a nice ol backhoe.

[@CaptainKleeman]

💪

[@stevengabry8878]

Use what you have, 555 to getter dome I see you may have put some air in the rear tires. LOL Thanks for another great video! See you on the next one. 🤠

[@laurafisher5655]

wow your property is gorgeous

[@danielleeper8340]

Great video!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks!

[@TGSamantha091]

Once again, you have the honor of me watching you as first video of the day(whilst sipping coffee of course) 😜 Always great content along with humor.

[@ronsmith4434]

It's amazing how much work you get done with that old backhoe. Great job.

[@Jimmyfisher121]

Bloody enjoying the videos very, very much Michelle keep them coming sir and thank you.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching!

[@resiliencyisrough]

It’s never not going to be satisfying to see that 555 do such great work. She’s come an incredibly long way. Also thank you for sharing those great near sunset shots. The beauty in your area there is stunning.

[@johnallen-jn2gv]

Lots of operators knock back hoes, well done Capt to show that it is the Swiss Army knife of tools.

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

I think it's because they rock and roll too much. Track hoes are usually a lot more stable. TLB's can get your "attention" if you don't pay attention. Got more than one pucker marks on the seat on my JD 310G

[@CaptainKleeman]

They can be handy

[@josephzickert4051]

The miss adventures of Captain Kleeman. Always waiting impatiently for the next episode.

[@tomswindler64]

Looking good looking good,Mike you accomplished quite a bit in this video.your vision just keeps coming right along.I’m not gonna say anything about your poor camera and your record of taking it out.those rock are impressive the way they look.great video.👍👍👍😎😎😎

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks Tom

[@dennisparisian7040]

Fun video

[@terryrogers1025]

Triple nickel 💪🏻, enough said. Excellent piece of property sir, thanks for the update, enjoyed it.

[@kylejones2075]

Nice keep em comin thanks for sharing 🎉😅

[@Chico-td2fy]

Nice chunk of land bud 🚜⚓️🛟

[@wink9970]

Good to see the hours spent on the log bridge pay off B'golly.

[@gordbolton27]

Captain Kleeman knocks down the forest & tips the scales in favor of global warming! 👻

[@jafo9346]

The extend-a-hoe feature on the 555 certainly comes in handy. You have an inate ability to see the value in everything; God bless you. AND your family!

[@jamesblissett9452]

Nice property 👍🏻

[@alexosborne5629]

Yacht project looking marvellous, Captain 😁 pity the card decided not to play along.......😬🤦‍♂️ More land for Kleeman acres !!! 😁 555 earning its keep, she never disapoints 💪💪💪 Seem to have grazed my knees, left forearm, and wacked my head a couple of times...... 😮 😂 Think your videos should come with a safety brief first 😂😂😂

[@lwwarren]

Time to upgrade to a multi-camera setup! Primary camera and backup camera in case of disaster. Gives more editing/perspective options as well. Keep on keepin' on Mike!

[@kevinkenyon7045]

Captain your property keeps growing giving you unlimited tasks to complete! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks kevin

[@williamnoel5092]

You are a talented hard working young man. Keep up the great work... I continue to pray for your safety.

[@ScotReeder]

By Golly, you're doing what you enjoy and its paying for some income potential. You can't shake a stick at that. Smart move, in my opinion.
