Has soon as you started the video I couldn’t help but think about your father having watched your channel for ever now. When you think about some random guy from North Carolina is remembering your Dad after all these years is a real lasting legacy to him. That’s what your channel is all about well done.

Your dad raised a son to be proud of. Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe and enjoy a long life.

I can tell you miss your dad. My dad was 73 when he passed 31 years ago and I still miss him.

Your dad is watching you, he’s smiling down on you and I’m sure he’s proud of all that you have accomplished! I’m proud of you for conquering that hillside especially knowing that’s where your dad lost his life. I know firsthand from losing my mom to a horse riding accident that being in that same environment stirs a lot of fears and emotions! Fears that I never had before, was aware of potential danger but blind to the fact that it can happen to anyone at anytime!

Mike yet again proving how much he loves trees and nature so long as it’s not in his way or blocking his view😂 Great video 👍🏻

The rambling is understandable with the emotions of where you were. For a few hours every week you have a few hundred thousand brothers and sisters who you help through the monotony of life.

i like seeing the old 120 getting stuff done, she's not a computer nightmare just old reliable. i take it no cameras were hurt or lost in the making of this video.

My dad died in '86 - before cell phones and the internet. I was 24 at that time - he was 60. Hard to believe that was 38 years ago and now I'm 62. Two years older than he was! Thanks for sharing Mike. I'm guessing you're thinking of making a nice area there that would be fitting for a nice memorial for your dad!

I appreciate you acknowledging your subscribers. So many KZfaqrs are so wrapped up in their sponsors that they will praise them but never show appreciation for those who really got them to where they are today.

It's been 3 years? Don't seem that long ago. Time flies when you are having fun.

I'm so sorry to learn about your dad's accident. I'm sure he is proud of you Mike. Hugs to you.

Your Pops is looking down on you and is proud of everything that you have accomplished in keeping with what he was doing in life. Keep doing what you are and one day everything will line up for you to put in what you want for your Dad.

Thank you so much for taking us along for the ride and showing some vulnerability. I never thought you were rambling at all. You were sharing and speaking your truth. It was real and relatable. Perfection in the imperfections.... Dirt Perfect.

Mike, thank you for sharing a bit more about yourself with us. It helps us gain a better understanding about you and where you've been. It is hard enough to loose a father due to health issues, let alone an unforeseen accident. One of those burdens that remain with us, but also brings us the fond memories of those we have lost. Thanks for taking us along with you, we appreciate the ride.

Not going to lie, I had to close my eyes a couple times during the video.. LOL Always enjoy your videos and watching you and Aaron work together.

63 years ago about this time of the year my dad was severely injured in a farm accident. The injuries ended his life 3 years later. The accident occurred on the first day of vacation bible school. I was about to turn 13 and I didn't want to go. I offered to stay home and help daddy work but being the loving father that he was he said "no son, go on around there to the church and have fun". Being an obedient child i didn't protest. I am 100% certain that the accident would not have happened if I had been there. Like you DP, when I look out of my house and over the farm I see the scene of the accident. I try not to think about it. I'll never say that I know how you feel but I will say that we have stood in similar shoes. It's a bitter sweet feeling. 😮

We are enjoying the "ride" on this channel, especially the one you just took us on. It's great to see family content with some real world happenings of a great company and friends. Great content, great channel.

"It's so loud and violent!" Violent is an understatement! Glad MBTS finally gets to see it in action! The conversation about Mike's dad is always a part of any work he does on this part of his property. Those of us who have been with the channel long enough expect it every time. I also just realized that this may be the last time we see the 120 on this hillside with the brush hog. The next time this hillside gets cleared there might be a new excavator running that brush hog.

Sitting here watching DP mowing an overgrown hillside while I haven't mowed in almost 2 months. Yard and pastures as brown as January from lack of rain and excessive temperatures.

Mike this would be a perfect place for Gunner to learn how to make a property accessible and maintainable. Layout a plan and diagram and let him work at it. Maybe he will come up with a few ideas of his own. I know you will be proud of him.

3 years already! Crazy how time rips on by!! Keep up the great content!!!

Mike I heard you talk about your fathers dozer accident on that spot. It is a good reason why safety is important.

Its great to honor our lost family in simple ways. God Bless you and your Family

Great Job!!! Your dad would be so proud of you!!!

Another awesome video. I never thought I'd enjoy watching someone brush hog with a excavator so much. Kinda like a "hold my beer" video.😅

Remember when you lost a GoPro down there and the whole family went looking for it. Good times!!

sorry for the loss of your father. I see he taught you well on working excavator. be safe at all times.

"This is a brush cutter not a rock grinder" famous last words everytime i take on a new mowing adventure on my zero turn lol

Wow, three years - I was here for that previous mow/mulch video. Been enjoying the ride. Especially the interactions with the rest of the folks you have around you.

Great job running brush hog and the excavator Mr Dirt Perfect

Great attachment!!! I lost an employee while he was operating his tractor---these things will bite you!!!!!! Great video!!

We are glad to be here!!!! Great videos--Thanks.

NICE VIDEO MBTS 😊AND HERE WE GO AGAIN MR DIRT PERFECT BACK IN HIS COMFORT ZONE AGAIN HANGING OFF A 30 FOOT CLIFF 😊😊😊

yep ive been on this ride for three years and still love you you family an NBS and will be here as long as you are thanks for all the great vids.

Mike, thanks for always including use.

Thanks for sharing about your Dad. I never had one. I do admire sons who loved theirs.

It would be nice if you could put a tilt on the bush hog unit. Like the one you have for the tilt bucket.😊

Enjoying the ride, for sure!

thanks for the haircut i needed a little off the top😅😂🤣

Just over the 3yrs since jumping onto the DP ride, it has been AWESOME ride but the many new ppl i follow has been AWESOME, ie C&C true class act 💪, tku Mike for taking the time to make the video's 🇨🇦

I was on the edge of my seat as you did those hills. What a great way to use that brush hog.

So satisfying to bush/brush hogging. Instant gratification!!👍🏻👍🏻. You’re mighty brave with the ground view shots.

We all have loved watching you all been great don’t stop!!

The first video of yours I saw was you mowing this hillside 3 years ago. Your tribute to your dad was moving then, and your life is a living tribute to him now. He would be proud of the man and father you are. Take care, Mike and thank you for sharing.

Yes, I still continue to enjoy the ride from .. 3-4 years. DP, greetings from Belgium

Go-Pro needs to sponsor this video! Amazed that camera survived. Great shot!

MIKE! You’re getting mighty close to the crash cam with that excavator weed whacker buddy. Love the channel.

Mike, I had heard the story, about you losing your dad and you were at the site, that had to be the worst day of your life, It takes a hell of a man to revisit the site, and relive that day, I know your dad is watching you, and is very proud of you and the choices you've made in life

Thanks for a peek into a very personal experience. Incredible footage working into slick spots. Keep on keeping on!

Thank you and have a great an awesome day.

Great job Mr Dirt Perfect

Thanks for sharing! Mike! God Bless!

Still loving the channel and appreciate all the hard work you put into making top notch videos for our viewing pleasure! Thanks D.P. and Aaron!

It’s okay mike for you to be rambling on! I’m a very loyal follower of yours and I appreciate you sharing your videos. Keep them coming my friend!

Great video Mr Dirt Perfect

Gee you kept me on a cliff hanger, oh boy that was a hell of a ride..it's cleared and tidy now that's perfect for me UK out...😮

Beautiful job. Like you said,sketchy , but the end result is great !

Tiss a morning. Nice intro sound bite.

yep, I still enjoy this channel very much, thnx!

Thanks for the tribute to your Dad. Appreciate your sharing.

Thank you for another Great video. Cheers

Thanks for the video. Your Dad would be proud of you. He raised a great son. I lost my Dad a few years back and I miss him.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reasons Mike. 👍👍

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Couldn’t tell you exactly how long I’ve been watching but I knew exactly where you were going to. I was watching the last time you made that video. I understand that the time hasn’t come together yet but might be nice to improve the path into that place since you will probably making that trip for hopefully many more times and years to come. It’s a interesting and unique piece of land with a very sad history. I appreciate that you share that segment of your past with your viewers. As far as jumping onto the bandwagon about safety, we all care about you and your family. I know hearing protection is a very hard individual battle to fight. I can only say I regret some of the things I wish I had done differently and not protecting my ears is definitely one of them. But it’s kind hard to speak out to others when I once again had the volume blasting full power because I didn’t want to miss a single point and my ears are now ringing and likely will be for an untold period of time somewhere between a few hours, days, weeks, or months before they settle down again. Wishing you and your family the best.

Mike your channel is the first one I check when I open up my computer each day to see if you have posted any new content. The second one I check is C&C equipment whom I learned about through your channel during the 850J snafu lol. So, hell, yes, I'm still enjoying the ride as I own a small excavation company myself.

I was thinking about your Dad and the story as I was watching you slide in those sketchy spots and and glad I wasn't in that seat. Keep up the good work Mike, top rate in my book Sir.

I knew where you were heading. Your Dad left a strong legacy, I'm sorry he wasn't around longer to enjoy it. I lost my dad when I was 19, he was 53. I'm now 62 and plainly- he was robbed (as were we). I guess it made me live more "on purpose". God bless- love the channel. On another note, my son was at Ft Knox ROTC cadet commissioning last year around the time of the Louisville(where we stayed) expo. I didn't figure that out until weeks later, or we woulda stopped by and said hello.

It looked like you were part of the Louis and Clark expedition for a bit Mike. I’ve also watched your channel continue to grow adding several great You Tubers and supporters. It’s become common practice every morning after making coffee to look for your video notification. I then go to my recliner with coffee in hand and hit the play button….lol. We all hope to see you break the 500k and even higher.

Awesome Job!!

Faith, family, work, and fun! Good job

Well done DP. I'll be watching from NC as long as you post videos! My dad was an operator tool Miss him every day.

Glad to see you repaired the Bubba Mulcher. (Another fine product brought to you by Bubba Design and Fabrication Industries)

God bless your dad, as well as you and your family, Mike...

Great video love the time lapse with the William Tell Overture music…puts it all in perspective! 😂😂 Thanks!!

let it grow for 10 years, that wil give an epic video ! greetz from the netherlands, europe.

Enjoying the ride, Mike!

So sorry for your loss! That looks amazing

Mike, I lost my dad when I was 7 years old and still miss him. Great job my friend. God Bless You All.

Thanks Mike.

Thanks 👍

Awesome job looks great thanks for the video

Great video. Great job.

Enjoy watching your videos mike keep up the good work

That attachment works great! Now you need a tiller attachment for really cleaning those hillsides up!

Three years... Wow! It has went quickly it seems... I do still have my Grey Pocket Tee with the Green Logo, the one I had DP and Miss Jenna sign as well as the stickers, holding up very well!👍🏻👍🏻

I do hope you come back in there before you have to do this again! That even had a pucker factor for me and I'm not even there😂 I completely understand the reasoning behind you wanting to keep this mowed. I'm sure you got your work ethics and much more of who you are from your dad. He would be proud! You certainly have some kahonas (balls) on ya Mike!🙃😂

Hey Mike I know someone who has some gear that could landscape that hill to make it easier to control. Have a good day and keep the history videos coming 😊

Love your channel !

Thanks Mike

Mike: Yes, we absolutely enjoy the ride! I love the Dirt Perfect Channel. It's the perfect balance of Work and Fun. We all, learn something almost every video. The banter between you and Aaron and Matt are worth the price of admission. Your feelings for that "spot" will always be raw. I look forward to hearing the full story, when the day comes you are ready to tell it. I farm and I pastor a church. I've been there 45 years. 26 years ago, in my church, with my brother preaching, our father got right with the Lord. I can still see his tears on the alter and that alter will always be very special to me. Dad died 36 days later. Mike, keep keeping on! We love you and the channel. Been with you for about three and a half years and I'm here to stay. I've told all my friends about the channel and I know some have Subscribed. Thanks again! Lee

Quite a setup with bush-hog-120! Huge pucker factor, don't having an accident yoirself!!!

Looks like the mowing is more of a cathartic experience, than a view of the property. But they are both inspiring. Cheers DP!

Great video Mike. Thank you for bringing us along for the ride. I haven’t been here for a long time, but as long as you’ll have us, I’ll keep watching everything you put out. Keep up the great work.

I miss my dad too,gone 3 years,but we have to move forward,I like that attachment for your 320 machine,I can tell,you don't want to let it go, you'll miss it too, have a really good day and mbts as well.

Another good one!

As the excavator spun around one time I saw the counterweight and immediately thought of a project for MBTS! Next time you go on a "vacation" he can get the sander/grinder and clean off the butt of the 120. A little primer then a couple of coats of "safety yellow" paint 😁. He would be so proud of the excellent job he did for you!

Loving every video!

Nice video, keep them coming. 👍

Suggestion: have Arron reenforce the back of the brush hog to support adding some teeth that you can use like you would with a bucket to help with sliding/precarious ground conditions.
