- And we are get the truck stuck again! Today we are spreading several loads of base rock material installing a new driveway for our cabin in the woods. Using Dirt Perfects John Deere 120 excavator to load his Tandem Axle Dump Truck. We are lucky enough to be able to have access and rent this equipment for out cabin building project. Be sure to check out our other videos of the new road for the youtube yacht project.

Installing a New Driveway - How I Get the Truck Unstuck
I know others have commented on the funeral and you taking the time to not bother them while the service was in process. That just goes to show what most of us that watch your channel already know,. You are probably one of the most courteous and considerate people when it comes to the feelings of others. It shows not only with you but it is obvious that you (and Chelsea as well) have spread that way of life to your family. Keep up the amazing work Cap. Look forward to watching the TH-cam Yacht project grow.
Thank you for the kind words and thanks for all the support!
I'm better that if you had Mike's Skid-steer, that would have been a much faster job! Love the 4-legged audience while digging dirt!
Didn’t need it! Little tractor did great
Man that tractor does some work.🚜
Old Bossy just wants to be a sidewalk supervisor.
😂😂
Skid steer would have been helpful lol ,but that little tractor is quite the workhorse
It’s a strong little tractor!
the cattle where funny and brave too lol
We all thank you for sharing with us. You got the truck unstuck all by yourself. Congratulations.
I like the in cab view from the c8500
Appreciate the feedback!
Works good for a 20 hp tractor. I grew up on a TO20 Ferguson (1950). I can appreciate that big horsepower.
Love that little tractor
That’s a great little tractor
Yes it is!
Two men were playing golf when a funeral procession passed by.
One man took off his hat, bowed his head and snapped to attention.
His buddy commented that he was very impressed with his sign of respect.
The first man said . . .
Well, she was a good wife to me!
😂😂 good one!
We call that road gravel and it is awesome for base. Gotta pack it, let it rain on it then dry out and harden, then it'll hold weight.
Absolutely!
Super work captain . The concern for the funeral says alot about a man . God bless you and your family.
Thanks and thanks for tagging along!
Looking good son. Enjoying watching your adventures. Safe winds agead for your river boat.
Thank you sir!
Good video CTN! Excellent education on the chirt and dump truck unstuck
Hey thanks for tagging along!
John Deere needs to use you as a spokesman. Your tractor amazes me with the amount of work you are able to do for its size! Thanks for sharing.
That is a strong and well built series. Love the 55’s. Hope for a 955 with a loader some day!
I love my 455 even though she's a little under the weather (leak in the transaxle)
All those cows had me cracking up! So much curiosity then a sudden NOPE! TOO CLOSE! TIME TO GO! 🤣 Forest critters curious about all the stakes and strings. Pretty sure they decided to play a little. Road and parking area turned out well despite the slight mishap getting stuck. Diff lockers are nice, but being able to lock in tandem axles increases the traction. Probably would've pulled itself out at that point. I never understood why trucks with tandem axels didn't come standard with lockers to tie them together. Half of the situations I've seen would've been solved with both (or all three) axels getting drive power! It'll be cheaper than a tow truck and save a LOT OF TIME!
Your welcome. I watch because it is entertaining and I get to learn something. Say, doesn't DP have a roller.
Try to like and comment on every one of your videos. Can’t say that I watch all the ads but I let a few run. Love the content and learning a lot about Derby.
awesome job and what a beautiful landscape
Thank you! And I agree, we love it here!
Looking great captain 👌 nice job on getting truck unstuck 👍
Thank you sir!
Also nice job your getting it done! 👌👍
Thanks!
Wow that packed in real good. Great video
Hey thanks for watching!
Looks awesome
Thank you!
Your channel is a pleasure to watch, you are a very honest person and very interesting to watch .👍👍🇬🇧
That’s means a lot, thanks!
nice recovery there Cpt... MR DP needs to add an ex mil 6x6 dumper to the fleet!!
It's coming ! Only missing the dump! 😁 Checkout DP Facebook 😉
That’s right! Mike is working on something awesome!
@@CaptainKleeman lol yes, I saw the post he put on Instagram... suspected something big was coming up as he seamed enthusiastic to clean up the workshop!
Nice to see the respect for the funeral Captain, I admit most would show respect as you do & we do around here, however I know there are some out there that don't. It's annoying how disrespectful SOME people can be 👍
I agree
You need to add liquid ballast and your tires to help with traction.. we’ve got a new Holland TC 30 with turf tires and it makes a huge difference..🚜🚜
I may look into that. Thanks!
Good work captain🖒
Hard work use to pay
Stay safe, stay well
Thank you and you as well!
Mr. Kleeman just food for thought, maybe we could see some Roller action on yacht road project Dirt Perfect as a nice 1 with a blade, just saying see ya on the next one God bless y'all
I doubt it. But a fella never knows
Sure is a nice fall sunset at the end there.
Absolutely! Where we are at on the ridge we only get sunsets in the fall in winter. Always looks good through the trees
@@CaptainKleeman Very cool, now is the time to enjoy it.
I tried spreading some loam one time,thought it was dry enough...it wasn't lol. It got bound up,and in that truck if it was loaded and all the way up it wouldn't go down. Good thing I had a shovel. 😁
Wet material makes it tricky!
I do believe your videos are my favorites, I loved the cows. I don't know how I missed this one , but it made my Sunday afternoon. I grabbed a "cold snack" and sit back and enjoy. Thank you Captain !
Im happy to be a part of your TH-cam family helping to make your dream possible
Glad you’re tagging along with us!
I think those cows were taking turns on the excavator while you were gone, you caught em did you see the look on their faces.lol😂 I can't understand why anyone would say chirt wouldn't work, that there is a perfect mix for a road base. Just look at the compaction where it's being dug out of!🧐😳🤷♀️ Making great progress Captin Kleeman.👍😎
Hahaha, should have left a camera with them!
Good job Captain 🇺🇸
Thank you sir!
Thank you for not chucking the hook to that strap. I see a lot of ppl do that, but you never know what or who you can hit with that thing. My youngest kid insisted with helping me strap stuff down a cpl months ago and while doin so, he assisted in taking out the windshield of a van. 🤦🏼♂️ At least he learned from it
The little Deere that could. That dang tractor impresses me more and more every video.
It’s a tough little piece!
Always great content!
good job captain its coming along nicely
Thank you sir! Slow but sure
Fun watching you and the pup chasing each other around in time lapse.
She makes a good supervisor!
Love seeing that 755 being so productive and thankful the QA is still holding up. Thanks for the shout! I know a local contractor that had a dozer slide off the trailer just pulling out of his driveway, so wise move to chain down there. Anxious to see that chirt geology study video; love that kinda stuff so that would be interesting. I chuckled when you mentioned how embarrassing it would have been to leave those chains on the tailgate when trying to dump. Yeah, what kind of a doofus would do something like that? 😋 Great video Captain!
QA is working great. Can’t wait to get a set of forks!
Great job
Your great fans really hooked you up with your front loader bobcat quick change system . Good for you !
Yes they did! Very lucky
Neither Dirt Perfect or Letsdig18 can draw a crowd like that to watch them work. I am happy to be in the crowd on the other side of the camera watching you. Thanks for the entertainment while I have a cup of coffee in the morning.
😂😂. Hope you enjoyed your coffee!
Nice going Mike.
You might want to lock the diff before you go into the dirt. Looking at the video I'd guess it only locks the two drive axles together, not the axles themselves so you won't get any driveline bind up making turns.
Keep up the work man !
Cheers, Ard
You’re right! Just didn’t expect it to be that soft. But I suppose that’s the point 😂
Classic jokes never die.
Great job thank you keep up the good work love your videos
I get a warm fuzzy with every video I watch. You make me smile. Love the enthusiasm!
Thanks for the feedback and glad you’re tagging along!
Nice video, and about the base rock material, we use something similar here in Denmark, called "stabilgrus" and it's the best base course material you can get, where there's no need for a sub-base course, and you can put the wearing course, or pavement, directly on top of it with no problems and it last for decades.
Hey thanks for tagging along!
I like the paddle boat format more.
I can see the boat docked against the dock like sidewalk attached with mooring ropes and old dock boxes that doubles as seating and a gangway ramp.
A small theme park in your backyard.
Yeah! That’s exactly it! Can’t wait to see it finally start to come out of the ground
What a pile of work you got through. It looks great even at this stage . Your enthusiasm is wonderful and your positive attitude is refreshing. Have watched all your videos to date as with Mike at Dirt Perfect. What a beautiful part of the country you all live in beside the river. The colours at this time of year are amazing. I look forward to seeing your continuing progress. Regards to you, your family and indeed Mike and his folks. Stay safe and well. Regards from beautiful Scotland!!
Appreciate the kind words and thanks for tagging along
You had the cows supervising you and then when you get home Dogo supervisors you. The project is coming along good.
Always needing supervision!
Okay, load your gate, with latched. Then drop back down to just slightly up. Be in gear. Open gate start moving and raise bed as needed to empty. If you open and try to load and move you'll just make a mess, and make the hoop-de-do's. Same as going forward, load gate. Let bed down to just slightly raised. Be in gear. Start to move open gate and raise to kept empty even flow of material. It is easy! Now if road can not support the truck and sinks, then yes you will have to pile dump and spread with another piece of equipment!
Yup. Like I said in the video. But can’t re latch gate once it’s open. So if a fella spins out the restart is always a little rough.
@@CaptainKleeman let the bed down as soon as stop it will minimize the mess pile. Also that's why keep bed down low and only raise, To spread as needed. Load gate drop down to almost full down, start moving, then pop gate then move and raise slowly!
Don't let the cows see where the battery cutoff is on the 120. You'll come back and find the grass is all torn up. 🐄
“Get out of that machine!” 😂😂
@@CaptainKleeman I'd pay to see that.
Indiana soil is something I hope I never have to work with. The clay…. The Chert…. Man, that’s some challenging stuff.😮
I think you are the most laid-back person I've ever seen. I'd have been screaming multiple times.
Appreciate the kind words!
NICE JOB KLEEMAN WELL DONE SALUDOS FROM CLIFTON N.J.
Thank you sir!
Good job
Thanks!
So much in this video, cows, dogs, stuck in the mud man you sure have adventurous days I must say. Love your dog, so cute.Stay safe
She’s a good dog for sure!
Absolutely 💯 👍
Hey thanks for watching!
That was one inquisitive cow.
Sure was!
The cows were thinking you got big truck with big horn so where are you hiding our feed on that truck ??
"What could go wrong ". The words that have been the down fall of millions of men. Lol God bless
What could go wrong lol funny
Right up there with "Yeah, I think I can do this"
Great job.
Every time, I mean every time I say that, things go horribly wrong. Never, ever say that statement!
Kind of like, "Hold my beer and watch this!
Nice spreading job, the moisture helps it pack, but does not help the spreading. Keep up the great videos and the commentary. Stay safe brother!!!!!
You’re right about that! Thanks sir and you do the same.
Great “action” videography and editing. My father would have LOVED tuning into you and your work. I love it too!
Thanks for watching!
Great Video
Thank you!
Awesome job captain your project is coming along nicely that 755 is a beast 👍👍
Its always as good time watching what you get in to.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Great set of skills to have Captain.
Absolutely. Hey thanks for watching!
Watch u and dirt perfect u both do good work
We appreciate that!
Gary Dauby knows a lot of river history. And he lives sharing his knowledge.
Watching you from the UK love the channel :-)
Hey thanks for tagging along!
Nice job
Hey thanks!
I don’t know but your channel is like therapy..ENJOY every minute..Great Job!
Appreciate the kind words!
Here is a comment for more ad revenue. Great job. Great vids
Thank you!
I was rooting for you on back spreading. I thought you did really well.
Thank you!
Charlotte does such a great job keeping you on task, progress again.
Up here in NE Washington state we find a similar material here and there. Glacial deposits. I've found it good for road base IF you put road cloth down first otherwise the rock eventually sinks into the clay mud. Cloth really does work.
Kind of surprised the Chevy only has a power divider lock and not power divider lock and diff locks since it was a snow plow. Any driver that says they have never been stuck is a liar or too new to have it happen yet. Needed a little help earlier in the week getting out of some mud on a job site, just a little tug was all it took.
The road is coming along nicely.
Right there with you on that. Still better than nothing though. This time of year we will be doing a lot spinning on slime for sure.
You are right about getting stuck,its definitely part of dump trucking, unless you never leave the pavement.
The new trailer for the c8500 is great and all but the puppy dog looked sad when you left it in the yard beside you....lol
😂 poor ol’ girl getting left out.
Cows are very inquisitive and a lot more intelligent than most people.
Great job. Need to get the skid steer and the grader blade to finish it off. Glad to help
755 works just fine for us
Good morning Mike. Looking good. I want to thank you for your service with the fire department. Take care and be careful.
Thank you sir. Hope the rest of the week finds you well.
That is an amazing job using just that small tractor. And thank you for the videos.
Strong little tractor!
I thought the cows were brought in as security, they were not going let you past in the tipper or into the 120 !! 😬
Nice self rescue, think you may have done that once or twice, no snags to report, even better! Your little 755 certainly earns its keep for you, proving age is no barrier to getting the job done 👍
And as for the stray line and moved posts, I think something was stringing you along Mike 🤣🤦♂️
It is a pleasure to watch the progress, pleased to be able to help out from the other side of the pond sir 👍💰🇬🇧😎
Always appreciate your comments! Hope you’re staying healthy over there
Love the videos Cap! Thanks for doing the right thing with the funeral, shows great character. That's why I'm a subscriber!
Hey and thanks for tagging along!
Your road is getting better I'm glad you're happy with it would consider making some wider areas where I worked you could get by car coming other way on most of it and it made no difference what they drove on it you would never break the surface it had been a drive since before 1607 as that was when the house was built and additions had been added to it over the years last I heard the place is being ran as a hotel it's called Talhenbont Hall in North Wales
Major progress on this video. I love the chirt rock.
Hey thanks For watching!
Captain, it might be easier on the tractor to pull the pile apart with the pulverizer down the road. It might take several trips, but could be easier to level your road base. I have a boxscraper on my tractor 80-90% of the time. For counterweight and I use it more often for grading jobs.
Another lovely video, Captain; I enjoy the little touches like waiting on the funeral and taking time to talk to the cows and the dog-nice. Over this side of the pond, no-one spreads from the truck at all, the first time I saw it [on one of Mike's videos, I believe], I was like-wow ! I still like watching it being done, and the greatest respect for anyone willing to try it. Well done, sir !!
Thank you for the feedback! Hope you’re staying safe over there
Great technique on getting truck free.
Thank you sir!
You do pretty good with that deere john spreading chirt . Good video.
Thank you sir!
The road looks great. I'm just happy the cows moooved out of the way. Lol. Sorry but I'm a bit off my meds this morning. Here for the long haul, so to speak. I gotta find my meds. Lol.
😂😂
I like to think it was a deer getting caught in the string, and freaking out; much like we do when walking through a spider web. Also when the camera mount was broke I yelled KLEEEEMAAANNNN!!!
😂😂. “Dang humans”
If you really want fun drive / operate as paving machine, having to use end dump trucks. They back in to you start dump in hopper, then you push them and try to hand signal them to dump as needed to empty! All kinds of things go wrong! Driver pulls away from you or holds brakes on or just over dumps and does not hold in place on first dump and the load pushes him away dumping a big pile of burning hot asphalt in front of you. It is a lot of fun every driver is different. And different level of skill. Makes thing exciting!
The paver operator can have bad days also,I had 1 push me thru a overhead power line, broke the cable and started a pretty healthy grass fire..when in a spreader box the driver has only 1 responsibility stay snuggly in the center of the box
@@jackspringer9283 yes that's where the ground man is to be watching for problems. I have had to use loaders to transfer material to get under and past overhead lines.
Nice seeing some progress being made.. I know you're excited..
We sure are!
Captain, you are such a laid back guy.......slow and steady gets the job done.....great video as usual. Thanks for posting, DP introduced me to "Derby" You Tuber "family" and the gang keeps growing with new providers 😁😁😎😎but you are my favorite👍.....always enjoy your videos
Appreciate the kind words sir! And always appreciate you tagging along. Stay safe
Awesome job on that road Captain.
Even with that Gremlin infused front wheel stuck in the rut mishap Y'all managed to get yourself outta.
Thank you sir!
I was watching the Dirt Perfect video yesterday and noticed he loaded the same material quite differently, he grated it into the bucket rather than scooping up a full bucket. I suspected that would not clump as much. Just a thought.
I’ll have to check that channel out. Is it any good? What kind of work does he do?
@@CaptainKleeman LOL, it is what it is :)
It's looking good Captain, nice little oasis for you and your family God Bless
Thank you sir!
You need some trail cams on the building site.
Would be cool!
