Love the Christian fish story. I got saved a little over 15 years ago. Pryor I came from a hard nose up bringing, nothing to be ashamed of I just didn't know chirst. God is good all the time. Keep up the great work.
I bought an ASV50 (new--->yr 2020 ) in Aug 20. Shortly after that you featured that model in a video. You seemed to really like it. It made me feel like I made a good choice. Then it was gone. I have a bandsaw mill business and I use it to move the big saw logs around and onto he mill. It is unstoppable. Love it. SWWW
Your the man Stan..I really enjoy your videos. Your a hard working dude with values and you treat your employees with respect and your definitely not afraid to get your hands dirty.
Cut my teeth on a Mack 2 stick and a Diamond T 5spd w/2spd rr end back in the early 70's. I'm 53 now. Some of my earliest memories are from the cabs of those trucks. Drove and operated equipment professionally for 30+ years. I have a Woodmizer now. This is called work, too, but I don't know why---- it makes me way too happy!! 😁
"How do you make a living in construction if equipment is so expensive". In my experience its because taken well care of they equipment last a long freaking time. A new skid can give you a solid 10 years. Even more if you beat it up. Love your videos.
Can you do a vid on your equipment history. As in your first excavator, second educator dozers etc., I’ve done it with my grandpa on his cars, and I find it very interesting.
I love watching different construction videos and listening to all the different terminology for pieces of equipment, like bobcat-skid steer, packer-sheep’s foot-plate compactor, wacker, it’s interesting
Great video, reminded me of first dump truck I drove. Old Mac dual shifter High low reverse on one stick and the other gears 1-5. Makes you really appreciate a nice 13 or 18 speed fuller. Love that old Pete you got👌
I’m digging the 360 cam I really like the panning shots it takes at times they look pretty great. The slow mo “action shots” while panning with the 360 on the machinery are my favorite shots I’ve seen in your videos. Keep up the good work Stan.
Great video. Loved the text of it. Showing your start to finish equipment. Your thoughts about the equipment can help a person decide what type of equipment to purchase.Your showing of how to do thing with stone, and your crew make the diy aspect of it seem a little less intimateding. Keep the video's coming. Franky is really a trip!
Oh yes , the ol twin stick, I drove one ☝️ a ol 10 wheel water truck, I like the ol Peterbilt too, what year is that one, praise Jesus grace Christ Amen 🙏 BigAl California.
That was an awesome Video! I’m new to the channel and and slowing going through all the old videos! I do smaller excavation jobs down here in Iowa with just a skid and a shovel now but hoping to find a dump truck to build the business next! Thanks for the great information you provide!!
Visibility is number one. My least favorite piece of snow plow equipment is a truck plow. I love a tractor or loader , then a skid. Love your videos . I'm 80 miles from you. We dont always get what you get but close. keep up the great Videos.
Like Stoney Ridge, I'm glad I live in North Carolina, but I love to hear about the old equipment. Especially the old Quadraplex Mack. I loved those old trucks once you mastered them. They were strong as an ox. Just wondering if you had a B model or an R model. Those Thermadyne engines were smooth and if you mastered that tranny you were one of the coolest drivers. Of course, I'm old school, I turn 70 next week and just recently sold my trucking business as a FedEx Ground contractor. (34 years). Love your channel, keep the snow. LOL
after having 2 wheeled many different bobcats, I will say color me impressed to even get that on 2 wheels with the snow and lack of traction. Plus to have the load that high and spin it. Hats off to you sir. That alone gives you the right to the cowboy hat...lol
Awesome video. Ive been reconsidering what piece of equipment to buy next for my new business. After listening to one of your podcasts, I think it does make more sense for me to rent certain machinery at this time. Have a great day!
I don’t know why,.... but this was probably my favorite video you have ever done!, I don’t know why, but videos like this amaze me, especially when you throw in the prices of everything, absolutely eye opening thanks Stan
Hi Stan, Love the fish story...Does your new power rake have carbide teeth? Another useful and unpublished use is grinding ice in driveways. Does not hurt them (power rake) a bit. You do have to be careful if on asphalt or concrete. The carbide does not stop at the ice and will chew up the concrete or asphalt. Here in Alaska we do get thick ice and you can take it down to eliminate big ruts. Also can give a nice groomed look and after it refreezes the ice chips, it takes the slippery away kind of like the scarfing teeth on a grader. Love the channel and your testimony.
Great video! I would’ve loved to see the gate attendant at Menards trying to count everything in the trailer to “make sure you didn’t steal anything” 😂
Hi Stan I love your videos. Can we see a 1 year review on your Ram truck and your wife's Ford F-150 to see how they're holding up and what's the bad and good you like about them. Have a great day sir take care. 👍
Always cool seeing what other people find useful when thee work lines up with yours. I would’ve parked that freight shaker and ran the pete but that’s just me. I have a really close friend that his business is 3rd generation so walking around his yard seeing stuff his grandpa/ dad built to try and make their loves easier is amazing a lot of it would never be allowed on a job site today. Awesome video stay safe hope the snow keeps falling.
@@Dirtmonkey put it back on the road that thing is a sweet truck. Unless you want to sell it then let me know. Did you ever run tractor trailers? Seems like that’s a regional thing whether you run big Tri or quad axle or a 6wheeler or tractor trailer.
dang, I can’t believe you had five kobelco’s. a couple questions, why do you not do commercial work anymore and why did you retire the bobcats in favor of the asv and caterpillar?
The Caterpillar from down south had it's own video or two, and if I recall, was a hell of a deal. The ASVs...every time he's talked about them, or had a video where they're the subject, not simply "in use" (but even then too, really) it's about how GREAT of machines they are. Hopefully Stan answers your other question, and or confirms what I've said.
@@Dirtmonkey well that makes logical sense as a factor too! I've picked up on a few of your thoughts across the many videos, but obviously don't know the whole stories. Hope I don't step on your toes answering like that...perhaps it'd be better if I stick to my own contributions and opinions, instead of repeating what I remember hearing you've said. Especially on a new video you're still replying to! 🤦
Stan, I was told a very similar story by an excavation crew. They were working on putting in a large parking lot and it was morning break and the guys were all sitting around and taking a break, when they saw a white pickup pull in and load up their bobcat. They all looked at each other and said WTH is the boss doing taking our bobcat. Later in the afternoon, the boss showed up and asked "where did you guys hide the bobcat?". They all laughed and said, "very funny, you came and picked it up this morning, we all saw you!". He looked at them and said "you all day and watched some guy steal our bobcat???". Got real quiet. Some people got a lot of balls and will grab equipment right in front of the crew.🤔😱😠
Remember watching a video of yours that covered that roll over you mentioned, obviously that video might be hard to find but going forward, stuff that you mention In videos that you have other videos on, you might want to consider adding link to those in with the cards that pop up in the upper right corner, it’ll get you more watch time and people always appreciate not having to go searching for it. adding overlayed photos of things, like pieces of equipment you own that you mentioned in videos is always appreciated and pretty cool to see none the less. Video idea: a video with photos explaining getting your start, I’d think would be Super neat.
I had a s185. Loved it too. I've operated a number of 185s, didn't like them all though. I am extremely happy with my T190 wide track, on occasion miss my T250 for its power.
I agree with dump trucks being sketchy i was dump feed 3 years ago at the farm and tipped one on its side low and behold the lift cylinder cradle was littered with micro cracks and busted free from the frame and over she went heck of a ride
Glad you mentioned the camera, I was confused how you were. Getting the shot from outside the sldge while you were inside it. Thought maybe you convinced frankie to do it.
hey, i am 14 and i have started a landscaping bis. and i made about $3500 last year. I have 2 mowers ( getting another one this spring), 2 weedeaters, and 2 leaf blowers. I expect to make about $5000 this year.
It would be fun to have an episode on the history of your business how you grew it and eventually moved from commercial work to residential!
Thanks...Good idea👍
I would also like to see that
Would love to see that
👍
Yes that would be a great video to do definitely do it please
Stan: "I do use the Jeep for work"
IRS HEAVY BREATHING
hahahahahah- Its coming up in a few videos.- You will see it in action😉
Hey turn it into Franky's shoveling / sidewalk vehicle and there you go!!!
It’s always a good day when Stan uploads videos
Thanks Brent!
Shew ....makes me so happy to live in North Carolina....mild winters are sure nice on the farm...enjoyed the vid Stan! Hope to see ya soon buddy!
Love the Christian fish story. I got saved a little over 15 years ago. Pryor I came from a hard nose up bringing, nothing to be ashamed of I just didn't know chirst. God is good all the time. Keep up the great work.
I like your story- sounds like youve got a positive outlook. Thats awesome.
U should give the Peterbuilt dump to whistlindiesel. You would be sure to get it back in pristine condition, just like frank the cabover
I bet he could get it running like nothing!
I wouldn’t give that dipshit an anvil in a sand box to play with.
@@chevyon37s what you said actually sounds like a good idea... maybe that would fix him lol
Well just enough to give it the frank treatment
My first truck driving job was a Kenworth 10 wheel dump truck with a 5 and a 4.. I drove that truck for 5 years and loved it...
You liked that Awful transmission? I guess somebody has to like it. haha
I bought an ASV50 (new--->yr 2020 ) in Aug 20. Shortly after that you featured that model in a video.
You seemed to really like it. It made me feel like I made a good choice. Then it was gone.

Thats a great machine. It was a short term lease but was very hard to let go. All the boys liked that one.
Your the man Stan..I really enjoy your videos. Your a hard working dude with values and you treat your employees with respect and your definitely not afraid to get your hands dirty.
I appreciate that
Nothing runs like a deere except a case. I like all brands of equipment.
same here! Like them all

you should post the construction stuff too, i love those kinds of videos
What would you like to see?

Stanley I've enjoyed your videos for 18 months.
Thank you for sharing the story about the emblem on your door 🐟❤️🐟
Love you brother 👊🏼🧔🇺🇸
I love watching different construction videos and listening to all the different terminology for pieces of equipment, like bobcat-skid steer, packer-sheep’s foot-plate compactor, wacker, it’s interesting
God bless Stan. Love the meaning behind the company logo all values I also believe in.
Thanks! God 1st👍
I was waiting for this video! I enjoyed all the stories you told about your equipment. You should have an auction for your unused equipment.
Great idea! maybe I will sell it that way and see what happens
@@Dirtmonkey probably get more than the going rate since its yours
Loved the tour. The highlight for me was the SOLG, you explanation of why you bought it and your demonstration of it in action. Thanks.
“Not very impressive”!!!!!! Dafuq are you talkin bout Stan? 😂. That was amazing!
lol- I wanted to do something better.
@@Dirtmonkey this was actually one of my favorite videos cause I like seeing the different types of equipment in a fleet
equipment is cool, old working equipment is interesting and very cool.
It sure is! Actually makes me appreciate newer stuff👍
That peter built is just an amazing looking old truck i love it she deserves to still earn her dayily keep stan
Thats why I keep her. Thats an amazing vehicle.
@@Dirtmonkey totally agree you can't get better yard are then work horse's like that
Great video, reminded me of first dump truck I drove. Old Mac dual shifter High low reverse on one stick and the other gears 1-5. Makes you really appreciate a nice 13 or 18 speed fuller. Love that old Pete you got👌
Very cool!
Keep up the great work Stan!
Thanks, will do! Have an amazing week!
You to thanks
I’m diggin the Peterbuilt! That would be cool to see back in its glory!
Im saving it for something interesting- just don't know what yet.
@@Dirtmonkey sled puller! Or bring it to vermont and put a silage box on her we'll put ya to work!
I’m digging the 360 cam I really like the panning shots it takes at times they look pretty great. The slow mo “action shots” while panning with the 360 on the machinery are my favorite shots I’ve seen in your videos. Keep up the good work Stan.
I love your Winter videos learned so much from your videos thank you

Oh yes , the ol twin stick, I drove one ☝️ a ol 10 wheel water truck, I like the ol Peterbilt too, what year is that one, praise Jesus grace Christ Amen 🙏 BigAl California.
I like the 360 camera a lot. Very cool multiple angles you can shoot from
Cool- thanks for the feedback
Love this video. Interesting to see all the equipment you use to get the jobs done................
I know Andrew camarata had one of those beaks for his skid steer and he liked it a lot (I’m pretty sure)
That's Awesome!!!
Great video.
You should do a video on driving the Peter built
I can do that
Awesome video Stan👍🏻 love the 🐠
Awesome thank you!
He needs a warehouse to keep all the equipment in or a locked lot.
I do- but a wharehouse or pole barn is expensive to rent in the cities. They want so much money for them now
Love the stories behind the "stuff"... Awesome video.
God first, the. country , & family
Love it! Hoping to meet you at GIE sometime!
Wow. Excellent skill on bobcat. I must say i was impressed
The real question is what is your beverage while answering comments????😂
Lemon spin drift. My classic favorite!
@@Dirtmonkey you don’t drink a nice cold one after a long hard days of work while answering questions?
That was an awesome Video! I’m new to the channel and and slowing going through all the old videos! I do smaller excavation jobs down here in Iowa with just a skid and a shovel now but hoping to find a dump truck to build the business next! Thanks for the great information you provide!!
Welcome aboard!
Stan you should wear your cowboy hat for "story time with Stan"
That's Awesome👍
Now that, wouldn't be an all bad idea. But, what about matching boots?
@@Dirtmonkey what do you do when the snow melts and all your stuff is so far apart
Love the channel and that peterbuilt Makes me want to come to Minnesota and dig in and start a restoration.
Maybe vice grip garage will tackle it with you.
Pretty cool👍👍👌👌
Thanks 👍

Thanks! Will do!
"Story time with Stan" a new series for Dirt Monkey Force?
Work or not really?!?
@@Dirtmonkey id be down to watch it
after having 2 wheeled many different bobcats, I will say color me impressed to even get that on 2 wheels with the snow and lack of traction. Plus to have the load that high and spin it. Hats off to you sir. That alone gives you the right to the cowboy hat...lol
hahahah- Your the best. Thanks Man😃👊
great video as always! old equipment is the best equipment
Definitely! as long as that old equipment got paid for a long time ago.
First dump truck I drove was a 67 Mack with a 5 and a 4, fun stuff!
if you could please do cold starts on all of them that would be sweet stan
Good idea..thanks!!!
What is the deal with cold starts??? What am I missing?
@@domenicmaiani3795 I think its now gotten a little out of hand lol

Kohler 7000 series motors are pristine!
I like that ONE- not a big kohler fan otherwise.

a couple questions, why do you not do commercial work anymore and why did you retire the bobcats in favor of the asv and caterpillar?

There wasn't as much satisfaction in commercial work and less profit. My bocats are older- the ASV and Cat are newer-so they work everyday
@@Dirtmonkey well that makes logical sense as a factor too!

Works for me. Thanks Stan.

Great video as usual. Interesting and informative with some fun stories!
Good one as usual Stan.
I had a s185. Loved it too. I've operated a number of 185s, didn't like them all though. I am extremely happy with my T190 wide track, on occasion miss my T250 for its power.

Thanks so much!
Always wanted to try out a twin stick. Sure it would sucks to daily. Heard stories of how fast they could go in reverse too 🤣
Yes- the reverse was crazy fast- I forgot that
I agree with dump trucks being sketchy i was dump feed 3 years ago at the farm and tipped one on its side low and behold the lift cylinder cradle was littered with micro cracks and busted free from the frame and over she went heck of a ride
Hahaha...Love the stories!!! Keep them coming👍
Another great Video 👍
Thanks again!
Glad you mentioned the camera, I was confused how you were. Getting the shot from outside the sldge while you were inside it. Thought maybe you convinced frankie to do it.
My dad's old farm truck had a tri stick transmission that's fun to drive
Love it. And also story time
Awesome! Glad to hear that
this video was amazing!!!
Sweeeet!
Great video. I did email that company and ask them to send you a new banner
Awesome! Thank you larry
hey, i am 14 and i have started a landscaping bis. and i made about $3500 last year. I have 2 mowers ( getting another one this spring), 2 weedeaters, and 2 leaf blowers. I expect to make about $5000 this year.
Thats a great start. Reinvest and keep going!
Good tour didn't realize u owned so much equipment
