Farmer Chris should get one hell of a good rate. He seems to keep you pretty dang busy. Keep up the good work.

don't see many comments on it, but having the microphone attached to yourself adds a different "angle" to how the video is... its quite an enjoyable switch up..thanks dp. take care dude.!!

It's interesting to see the logistics side to the work. Also, thanks for the fun camera angles. PS: the new mic sounds really clear, it's appreciated!

Hey Mike,.....I do not know everything about excavators, but around the 17:00 mark, it looks like a retaining bolt that holds in the bucket pin, is missing a nut. As you are looking at the video at that mark, the grease gun plunger handle and the top of your can of penetrating oil, are close to the bolt I am talking about. Maybe it is supposed to be this way, but I thought that I would mention it.

Another safe day of transporting equipment, never once thought you were going to get stuck in the ditch , great job man

Hey DP, really enjoyed the video especially the sound of the puppy dog going through the gears. Awesome 😎 watching from Perth Western Australia 😀😀👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

@12:30 Walking beam suspensions are a tried and true suspension for trucks. The bushings do wear out and all 6 need to be replaced when that happens but as you said DP, the C8500 is nowhere near wore out. Dump trucks are the worst for wearing out the bushings because of the amount of twisting and turning they get backing up at job sites. Did a bunch of walking beam bushing in my Highschool CO-OP placement in ‘85 and about 90% were dump trucks. First truck I ever drove was working there. I was lucky and got $5/hr working there. 🤑

As you put the zerk back in i was yelling "check the zerk!!!" oh well. This is a perfect example of the other side of the business. Getting equipment in place so the next day goes smooth. The only thing missing was fueling everything up. Nicely done!!

HE EXPLAINS EVERYTHING AND SHOWS ALL THE ANGLES AND WHEN WORK WITH THE LITTLE GUY HE TELLS I HAVE FUN I ENJOY

At 1:06. Every tool has a "hammer side", even a cordless drill/driver.

I like you being mic’d up so even when the camera is out of the truck, we can still hear you nice and clear. Small things that make a big difference, just like that small grease fitting being the problem after driving out the pin lol

A man has to wash the mud off as tossing them in the creek to clean themselves is a recipe for wheel seals and a host of issues too numerous to mention. Kinda sad there isn't more gravel handy in the countryside as it sure is easier to grab a bit of traction on the sides of those narrow roads. They technically aren't so much narrow as just soft when you get very far off the blacktop. I had one of the oldest working and run well slide bar cable blade d8's and it was a lot of steel. My lowboy was a near close to same age and we had to load from the side. My brother who was so bright that dad called him son wanted so bad to load equipment and so without asking jumped on that old dozer and proceeded to load that machine on the lowboy like I had several times. That old dozer had a steer clutch an steer brake pedal as well and he really didn't have a clue as to all that was involved there. So on to the trailer and is ready to spin around to square when it went off on wouldn't you believe the low side of that loading spot he picked... it dropped down a couple feet sat there for about twenty seconds and then made its mind up to continue to keep a rolling. I did have a really good ropes cabin on it... I think that it did is now the definitive word. I still ain't figured out after fifty some years how he kept from dying in the cabin as the space was right limited. I got help and cut him out and the ropes was done. Yeah I think about it all looks so easy till your in the hot seat and doing the loading. Dad had taken me to the woods early and told me he wouldn't tell me twice so to pay attention and after that he would walk away to leave you to it. Yep, I did slide off but picked the side so it was in my favors but those do stay with ya. I'm seventy three now, my brother killed himself falling timber many years ago an I kinda feel responsible for his not getting more education on dangers. He was a great big boy and a heart of gold but he was cut more in book learning than woodsmanship and I just didn't want him out there. Captain has certainly done real well for you an we all can fail even on the good days if you don't keep a eye on both sides of your pie eater/lol. Great job Mike

I have a friend who owns a landscaping/snow removal/reno company. He has local towing companies shuttle machines between sites on their flatbeds, one cable hook, not chained down because the flat bed has a lip edge which holds things in place. One tow company has a tri axel wide load bed that can hold 10'6" wide on its bed with a 20,000 kg max load (44,000 lbs). The local lite 8' wide flat beds charge him $35 per trip up to 15 km (about 9.5 mi). Check it out that may work for you if things a snug!

Thank you for being dependable in turning on the closed captions. We appreciate that.

"Nailed it"! Yes you did!!! Awesome!

as a mechanic with several decades of experience the first thing to do in this situation is to replace the grease fitting, they are cheap and will quickly either fix the issue or eliminate the fitting as the problem. Something to ponder!!

THE BEST VIDEOS IS FROM DURT PERFECT

Just in case it’s important I thought I’d mention there’s a piece of Barbwire in the John Deere track at 36.45

Thanks for explaining the axle on the C8500, I had noticed that and was wondering if that was 'normal'

Holy cow..., Mike...! my heart skipped beat when that trailer went in the ditch, backing in... scary, scary... Great video, showing the move in (s) for the folks who keep asking why you don’t every piece of equipment to a job site, so you can select select at will... Thank you sir.

Nice job with the truck, but the best part is the pretty trees in bloom! Well maybe the 2nd best part. Wish we had some of your wet in Central Oregon!

Cool video. Love watching the heavy equipment.

Some fancy Truck Driving Skills, Mike 😊

Thanks for the ride. Thanks for sharing 👍 😊

Your audio is outstanding! Giant improvement. Well done.

Audio is amazing

You do an amazing job of backing your rig, good job, enjoying watching you at work.

DP I see Captain Kleeman didn't trust you to not run over his wheelie bin and had to move it 😂

did not plan on going any place today but im in for a ride. thanks for the vids. cheers buddy.

thanks for the video DP

Thanks for sharing buddy hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday weekend god bless

Always fun prepping for the job. Great job and video. Stay safe

Mike great video, awesome driving skills. Thanks for sharing. Kevin

Love to see a guy who knows how to back trailers. Great job Mike.

New mic system is awesome!

Great video good line up of machines 👍👍

👍 Thanks for taking us along. Damn you got lots of colorful trees (🎨 🌳)

U got it truck driver. I love the way that puppy dog sounds

Can’t lie - when you went to replace that zerk I was like “NO! Try and pump some grease through that zerk before you put it back in!” And my gf is like “What’s a zerk?”

Interesting maneuvering to keep the business going smoothly. Thanks for sharing!

Great video as always thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there

Nice job backing. I’m always amazed when I go camping and half my neighbors can’t back their campers.

Mike, the addition of a body mic is a huge improvement, so nice to be able to get your narration while watching from different angles and perspectives

Great video, love watching.

Good morning DP and the whole crew. Nice to see the equipment shuffling around. There is never a day without challenge on DP. That's what make it interesting and fun to watch 🇯🇲🇯🇲😎🇯🇲

Nailed it! 😎

Nice job 👍👍

STILL Love the sound of the MACK !

I learn so much from watching your videos Dp. Thanks for taking the time to get all the shots and get these videos up. I cant imagine how tough that is with a family, business and all that.

Good to c everything went well I like the one lug nut cover on wheel

AND WATCHED MANY VIDEOS OF CONSTRUCTION AND THE DIRT PERFECT VIDEOS ARE THE BEST

Always enjoy a trucking video Mike

...lookin' good, nice job, stay safe..

Great Video, it was fun to follow all the equipment moving. Love the way you handle that truck and trailer. You've obviously been doing for a long time. Cheers

Look like Capt. Kleeman gave some lesson 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Great sound!

Love the Mack. Reminds me of the 1995 CH613 I ran tanker with. 400V Mack with a 13 spd

Always impressed with your reversing skills Mike.

Rocks on the trailer

Nice job Mike on shuffling the equipment around🚜🚧💪

Good job 👏

great video DP well done on the driving.

Another great video

Mike, good to see you talk to yourself for PROFESSIONAL ADVICE when backing into a difficult spot.

Wheeeee! Great video! Stay Safe Guys!

Good job

I am in awe of your backing skills.

Nice work! Nice driving

i love the look of a truck like the puppy dog but the trucks like in Europe the cab over would make it easier

Yes they do

New mic 🎙 working awesome. Love the videos keep um coming

@23:25 I see your water delivery had arrived. 😜 Must be a restock for MBTS.

Awesome job and video love your backing skills. GPS Took me down a dead end road with my 30 foot trailer behind my F350 CrewCab Dullay. I had to back up 1/2 a mile using just the mirrors. The trailer was empty so I couldn't see the end of it. Long story short, I made it to the right place. I put a camera on the back of the trailer the next day. What a difference.

Mike you didn't sweep off your trailer after unloading the bulldozer.

When the old 850 fires up all I think about is all those new def fluid regulations 😂

good job YOU didnt break anything. Enjoyed

Epic work

A late comment, but based on watching your videos I think there's nothing like trying to get in and out with a longer trailer that teaches you how important planning the driveway is! And I really like the sound quality on the new mics.

Good video!

You have the best attitude that goes so well with your smooth kind personality. The way you talk to us and the way you communicate and respect your employees makes for a wonderful video. You give great education and also you are an inspiration in how to treat others. I usually watch you early in the morning because it helps me smile the rest of the day. I thank you !

Well done, entertaining...

I still think Pepsi should throw a sponsorship your way! Three pieces moved with no broken mirrors

Great reversing skill Michael.

Loving the camera and audio work!

Well with all of the rain you all get back there Captain could have hose off the tracks on that thing! After all he is a hose dragger!!

He's sure pushing hard for that 2nd set of free speed binders.

Man that Dawg sounds good. Great video Mike

The remote pic works really good I like it

Stopped by the Derby Market 05/23/21 while riding the bike back from the ozark mountains to SC. Neat place and a great bunch of ladies. Had the Hot Ham sub it was good. Also picked up a DP shirt and Logger Wade shirt. Was neat place and alot of fun

You sure are a pro in backing up that low boy!

Again with the back up skills! Some day I'll be able to back up my trailer without doing a 27 point maneuver lol. Great video Michael.

BUT FIRST!!! Lots of work before you can do any job! MIKE, I never offer suggestions but have one for you. Understand that when you introduce Penetrating Oil where Grease is, you do 'cut' (weaken) the Grease (just sayin!). Also, I thought after you took your fitting out & cleaned the crap from the hole, THEN insert a new ZERK fitting! Last is keep a supply of ZERKS in your truck tool boxes & "NICE DRIVING!" ALL of it!!!

My Father and Myself overhauled 12 of those Hendrix Suspension Systems when I was a young Teenager. All 12 Trucks were ex Logging Trucks from Washington State. Lots of Torch and Sledge Hammer work invoin That work.

You made me tried moving all that equipment around. Time for a nap 😂 Hope your Memorial Day weekend is warmer then mine. Back in the 40’s☹️ Great video as always 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

Lol the 1 lug nut cover on the passenger front tire looks funny with just 1 of them :)

I bought 5 speedbinders because all you guys liked them so well. They are the best dang thing since chain! I get so many loads and unloads out of a 5 AH battery I haven't bothered to keep track of how many.

Gotta be more to the job than those few trees. Esp 4 u to haul all 3 machines. Nice backing job an video

You must have that (one ) Chrome lug nut cover on your front wheel to drive OCD ppl crazy lol

Captain KLeeman would be proud .

loving the new camera mic combo
