Captain Kleeman your doing great and you have a great partner in Dirt Perfect.

Captain Kleeman you did a wonderful job. I have worked for a few construction companies in the past and I have watched certified operators make mistakes it's just how you learn from them and improve on it to do better with the knowledge of what you have learned.

Great video, and with icing on the cake, thanks to that drone footage!

So many people usually try to avoid gravel spreading at winter.... Thx for video!

If you have enough material leave some in the bucket it wont move as fast as empty one. Good video.

Oh my gosh what a great to see that barge being unloaded... I'm a crane operator and that was amazing and fun to watch... It ways amazes me that some things are done in apparently inefficient ways and that's one of them... but If it's the only way to get it offloaded... super cool.

I think you did a very good job spreading the gravel. Loved the drone footage also.

You might not be the best skid load operator, but I have to say that I think you're fantastic. I have never driven one, so you are an expert in my book. LOL The end product looked good. That is all that matters.

Hey man, when your spreading gravel in a parking lot setting with a skid steer, back drag your way to where your pulling out and you won’t leave tracks behind. And with that type of material, if you’ll set the bucket just to where the front half or 3/4 of the cutting edge touches the ground and set the loader to float it will leave a near glass finish. Also when your pushing, set the loader down on the machines frame and use the bucket curl to adjust how thick your spreading. (Works best with a fairly full bucket) but your absolutely right! Seat time is the best when it comes to a skid steer. There are many different ways to make the machine accomplish the same task, it’s whatever works best for you! Lol

Going from the parking lot to the driveway job without loading the skid steer onto a trailer made possible because it’s “2 SPEEDS” You done good Captain Kleeman. Even if it wasn’t Friday. 😉 Loved seeing the unloading process after hearing you and Dirt Perfect talk about it in previous videos. Glad they let you fly the drone to get video of it actually happening. Getting video of the quarry operations would be awesome. Especially if you do any blasting when you’re there.

Thanks again for sharing your adventures. Great drone video of the clam shell crane in action. Good job on the parking lot and driveway. Glad to see you taking good care of mikes most important customer. Stay safe and warm.

Capt K Love ALL OF Videos LOVE The WAY JUST ROLL With The FLOWS Great JOB You AND THE Family SAY SAFE

Cap’n... you far exceeded my first attempt at spreading gravel. When I was done... I grabbed a rake and hid the flaws. Thanks! You gave me a whole new measure for central tendency... All I had to work with were median, mean and mode... but now that I have access to Kleeman Average... the sky’s the limit! Loved the dronage! I’m betting that crane operator job is interesting! (For the first half hour, at least!)

Hey captain never let them see you sweat you done a good job. THANKS captain

It looks okay captain. At least your not in the woods and your doing really work hahaha got you. Thanks for sharing it

Nice job Captain looking forward to seeing the quarry footage.

Great day of work captain , I see why Mike has you working with him . always to good to trust someone to represent .keep up posting always enjoyable 👍😀. Have a great one 🇨🇦 Craig .

Great job Captain, you did everything as I would have, it's always hard when there's frozen clumps, as you say there's no better way to improve yourself than seat time 👍

Thanks for the drone shots, I'am from Ontario Canada and live on Lake Huron. I only see great lakes boats bringing in salt for winter roads. It's interesting to see how it's done on your big rivers.

Best statement ever: "Some people could say it is a Friday and I call it good enough but it is not Friday and I am not some people"

Pretty cool drone footage

Great video buddy! Your right definitely takes seat time! Appreciate the shoutout too! It would really help if Mike would get you a Takeuchi 🤣. Love the drone shots at the end too

THE good ol handle flick... Works every time. Prove me wrong.

You may not be Dirt Perfect, but you are certainly Gravel Adequate.

Nice footage. I'm guessing grandma liked your driveway work. Stay safe

Don't knock yourself, practice makes perfect no pun meant, everyone has to start somewhere.👍👍🇬🇧

greeeeeeeat job love that ol river it looks a little muddy for this time of year

you are a good man Captain. More footage of the river and barges please sir.

Cool drone footage. I remember Mike doing a video at the private drive. I think he said it was his Granny's house. Have a blessed and safe weekend.

God Job Captain.

Viewed,.Liked, Shared, Subscribed! Love the comtent and the video!

Not bad job of spreading considering the frozen chunks, worked 2 summers hauling stone to a crew building new streets in sub division, doing a good job spreading harder than it looks. there are three quarries within 25 miles of where I live.

Lol hell yeah!! Thanks for the fancy shout out!

Capt your getting better on the skid steer!! Practice makes perfect!

Great video. Stay safe out there.

I like the video, and the barge unloading was awesome. Keep up the good work with the videos!

Great drone footage Kleeman. some cold days unloading those barges in the winter, think I will stick with my nice warm shop work these days!

Good job Kleeman, no equipment harmed in this video lol

You take some really good drone footage, really enjoy when add it to your vids.

Wow very cool. Glad you got a drone.

That looks perfect don’t let anybody put you down for it it looks perfect

Great video... Thank you for sharing.. Have a great weekend.

THANKS FOR REPLY BACK IT MEANS ALOT SUPER THANKS FOR BEING A FIRST RESPONDERS THANKS CAPTAIN. BE SAFE

Fine job. 👍👍 And some people just don't get it. They see you working and still get in you way 😔😔. Looks good Captain.

Nice video.

As they say practice makes perfect so the more seat time the better you are going too be, nice job.

I am a loader operator for a quarry similar to that one and it was cool to see it from the opposite end of the loader. And it's also interesting to hear the different terms for the stone what you called 7s look like what we call 2s here .

Nice drone shot and thanks for that. Not a bad job but I do have one comment. On the parking lot you did, I would guess that is for the Church across the street. Regardless what it's for, I hope you cleaned all the stones you got on the sidewalk. Tripping hazard plus uncomfortable. Otherwise, you the man when the 'man' is otherwise preoccupied. Thanks!

Cool drone footage.

Nice work

Hi there! New subscriber from Sweden 😁

Hey Captain! Awesome video brother, cool camera angles, humor, and great execution brother. 5 stars again! Superb drone footage too.....A stellar production, thanx for sharin! Work safe, stay warm, see ya on the next 1. Look for a "house training" video soon, ice rescue. Was contacted by the Chief today for video coverage of the training, both in house and at the water. Doug@ the "ranch"

The drone footage is great. I assume the shots were of MCS, Telly City? A quarry video would be great. Keep up the good work Captain!

Great video. We don't have rivers like that in AZ. It might have been cool to show where the rock was dumping off the conveyor.

Looking forward to your shots of the quarry.

Don’t let Dirt Perfect see that candy bar wrapper on the dash- haha

Thanks captain , I’d be interested in seeing more of the quarry shots It seems inefficient to unload a barge that way especially towards the end of the load !

Yes, Irving Materials Inc (IMI ) stone quarries, ready mix, sand and gravel pits, asphalt plants, Live north of Anderson, IN

What town is that? Nice looking place. You should modify your saying to "May not be Dirt Perfect but it is Captain Kleeman Cool"😉

Hey caption you did a bang up job for being new in the skid steer 👍 would have been pretty funny to see you attempt to so it faster with a take 😂😂😂 raking like a windmill turning 💪💪💪

Great job Capt. That 2nd job was at Granny Perfects wasn't it u mess that one up u might get the switch lol

use the backside of the bucket more and you will be much happier. I say its great regardless. But back blading is key with a skid steer

Nothing like a skid steer ride in town lol practice makes perfect your gonna be a old pro in no time

Great video about a 100% better then my spreading skills

You done good

Cigarbox guitar playing in the background 👍

If i can learn to drive a skidsteer and mini ex half as good as you, i will die a happy woman!

Turned out really good for a rookie you have to find out what works best for you and just think there was no mirror hurt in the making of this video lol. Keep up the great videos

I actually like the mellow guitar music 🎶 Bottom of the gate or over the gate, it's all 👍 good

Don't underestimate ur self u did a great job on parking lot

Very good video. Is that the best way to unload a barge? Doesn’t an excavator seem like the machine to use?

Fine job Captain. Wish I had a nickel for every driveway I did the past 30 years

you have to love it when some one parks in your way

Captain ate his crunch on this job scooby. Turned chicken shit into chicken salad. Drone shot was awesome. How many yards do they run on the river like that one?

Cool mud flaps

Was that the parking lot created by tearing down that old building?

Sure love those speed boomers.

Awkward with strangers? That's how we do it in Dixie!

👍👍👍

What is that stuff being unloaded from the barge? It floats for a bit

You better not say good enough, wasn't that the boss's grandma's house??? LOL BTW My wife yells at me for talking to random people all the time like you did, you and I would probably get along great!

Excellent post! Do you happen to know how long it typically takes for the clamshell bucket to offload a barge?👍👍👍

I'm glad you are showing new videos unlike Mike he's still showing old ones.

If only you knew a guy that had one of those attachments that looks like a road grader for a skidsteer! Lol

Oh you make me cringe pushing those stones with that cutting edge on that bucket. Good way of pulling those Rams out of those

Our gravel in Central Fla. arrives by train. Not any rock down here.

What drone do u have? Also good job spreading it just takes seat time.

Where are you located? Looks like Ohio River, probably a mulzers stoneyard?

Great drone footage Captain..... Captain Kleeman Average 😂😂

You fixed the parking lot at the ice cream shop in Troy Indiana

Why do you put the bucket vertical like that?

should fused the grader and got some stick time using it.

You did a mighty fine job spreading that stone. How do I send you a patch?

Is that a 20’ or 22’ gravity tilt ? Fixed part at front 4’ or 6’ ? Thanks

you should do a fire vlog about your fire department

What river is that?

That whent well.

I know where you were spreading rock on the driveway. THAT woman is picky how her stuff is done. She got on Dirt Perfect and treated him like a grandson.

Hey captain what kind of drone do you have THANKS CAPTAIN🚢🚒😀

Is that trailer new?
