- Hey everyone! welcome to the video. Today we are back on the youtube yacht road project using Dirt Perfects Kubota SVL 90-2 skidsteer. Just trying to get everything sealed up and the edges cleaned up and ready for base rock. We also installed a redneck version of a french drain and hauled in a load of stone with his GMC C8500 tandem axle truck. we did a before and after mavic mini drone shot to really show the progress we made in a short day.

Homeowner rents Kubota Skidsteer to work on a forest road - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
What’s dry looks good. I agree a few curves will add to the experience.
its coming along quite nicely! all it takes is the 4 P's persistence, perseverance, perspiration, and pennies! lots and lots of them!!!!!!!!!!!! stay safe!!!!
bvfdfire1 I misread pennies and laughed way to hard 😂. But you are right about all of that!
@@CaptainKleeman you should have heard the laughter on my end when I misspelled it 3 times lol. I thought I was gonna get put in TH-cam jail.
The road is really taking shape now Capn. A world of difference from when it was all mud. You kept the faith and you are winning!
Robert Powell just try to keep moving forward! Thanks for watching.
Suprise to see a good operator, easy to watch!
Starting to shape up , looking good !
I live north of you on the Ohio River in-between Louisville KY and Cincinnati Ohio, love your videos and love the mighty-o river and it's barge's thank you for all you do..
Robert Woodward hey we make our way up to Cincinnati a couple times a year. Sometimes we stop past Clifty falls state park. You ever been there?
Looks beautiful.
The road is looking good. The kubota does a nice job working on the road.
John Schmidt thanks!
Looking better!
Dryin up nicely Capt.
This an awesome project i like that you're taking the time to do it right instead of just blasting a path through the woods 👍😁
Outlaw Trucking Inc. hey I appreciate that! Making progress slow by sure. Stay safe out there!
Thank YOU Kleeman for the video👍🏼🇸🇪
Magnus Hansson hey and thank you for watching!
Man that new road looks flipping awesome hope you get it to dry out pretty soon,thanks.
Kapper Outdoors it coming along! Just got done watching your footer pour. Looks like it coming along well for you!
Real long road that tales a lot of work and time to build! And has super view at the top! Awesome job Capt!
Lenne Longe thank you sir! Hope all is well on your end
Cant wait to see the finished product. Watching for several Months as you slowly prepped the land
Jeff White thank you sir! I’ve been following your Facebook posts. The time lapse from the wheel house is just such a cool perspective!
A toothed bucket works really well. And if you keep it flat it will leave a smooth finish too.
Great Video. Thanks
Donald Lewis thank you sir!
Looking really good! Making great progress, and I'm really enjoying the videos. Thank you.
Badgermatt75 2016 thank you!
Looking good buddy. Can't wait for Tuesday video. Ha ha
You do the work as you think is the best way for you brother!
Commin along very nice. The road has dried out a lot. Can't Waite to see a boat dry docked. Stay safe my friend..
Spydr 1 getting closer every day! Thanks for watching.
Its almost like you know what your doing one day at a time been fun watching the progress
Nick Popelka slow but sure!
Can't wait to see all love where y'all live. captain dirt perfect wade and family. ALL OF Y'ALL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BACK GROUND WHEN YOU USE THE DRONE DP WADE.
THAT BIG RIVER THANKS FROM GEORGIA
Terry Reynolds glad you’re enjoying the views and thanks for supporting all our channels!
Love all that red bud in the woods.
Mark Schmidt they are beautiful this time of year!
Any time a machine don’t get stuck is a good video!!!
Making some serious progress on the road. Good job. Love the series!!!
Be good and safe.
David Hill hey I’ll do my best on the safe part, the be good...we’ll that’s up to interpretation I suppose 😂
@@CaptainKleeman ok then enjoy yourself!!!
Great video! Thanks! The road is turning awesome! That ditch 🤔 y'all get a lot of toadstreamers down there!!🤨
I’m impressed how quick that tightened up. It looks awesome.
Anthony A thank you sir!
But Captain, you contaminated the gravel!!
Spring water is great if you cook coffee over an open fire.
Making it Happen you aren’t wrong about that!
@@CaptainKleeman
We have an old summer house without water, sewage or electricity.
But there is a cold spring, with crystal clear water.
I'll take you there during the summer.
Good job captain!
mrbakerskatz thank you sir!
I love the progress. It's looking good Kleeman keep up the good work buddy.
Andy B thank you sir!
Morning Cap! Its nice you give all the arm chair dirt movers a reply. You clearly have your own plan and program. Like you, I have a neighbor with big boy tools, and is generous enough to allow me usage. I just finished my pond with his Deere 210 G. The D6k later.
Your access is really looking good and with time, good weather you will get it done but like most things in development, we always have to tune up and fine tune things after the fact. Great Job, look forward to the next one...hope the stuck skidsteer doesn't create a big problem for you. PS I started watching your friend Dirt Perfect. Liked his trough for increasing the volume of dirt that can be moved... definitely apprentice here....economy of motion right!!
robert simmons did your pond finish up okay? And hey he has a great channel. Knowledgeable guy with a great attitude.
@@CaptainKleeman Yes he is. We have a small cow calf operation in N. California. The pond is part of my flood and pump irrigation program for the pastures. Like your project, it is a work in progress. When I roaded the 210 home, it was just before this current round of rain. Had I waited...well it would be out in my pasture sunk up to the house. Keep up your posts, like to see your progress and keep us posted if/when you talk to the river pilot. Would be very interesting to see/hear his story and how they apprentice pilots etc.
Starting to take shape once you roll the mud it will surely help. Have you and the family watched the new Disney movie Onwards yet its really good be a great family popcorn and cuddle night at the movies. Hope everyone is safe and healthy and keep up the great videos
Kenny Mysak we just watched it the other night! Of course we paid for it on amazon and now it’s free on Disney plus 😂. Oh well! Was a good family! Stay safe sir.
Road looking good. Plus looks like it's starting to firm up really nice now Kleeman
John Warren thank you sir! Stay safe out there keeping America fed!
Captain on the job. Looks good man.
Andy Moss thank you!
Looking a lot better every time. It will really be nice when you put the gravel on the culverts. Have a great day and stay safe.
Brent King -gmail King we are getting closer! Hope all is well on your end sir.
Looks good. Keep up the good work
Richard Hedrick hey you aren’t looking too bad yourself! Thanks for watching
Nice job.
Mike Nixon thank you sir!
Nice job. I like how you explain at the beginning of the video exactly what you are going to be doing. Gives us something to look forward to. This forest is just like the ones around here, the Chicagoland area.
Construction Trucks trying to find that balance if making the videos include currents subscribers and new ones so everyone feels on the same page. Hope it’s working! Are you from the Chicagoland area?
@@CaptainKleeman I understand. It is working. Yeah, I'm near Chicago in a suburb. We go to Indiana often, Michigan City actually.
Great job looking good have a great day and stay safe out there
Dewain Woodard thank you sir!
@@CaptainKleeman your welcome sir
Nice skill on the skid steer. Red buds sure are pretty. MIke hope you and your family are safe and well!
Rich Wielechowski the red buds are coming into full bloom! I was really surprised how well they showed up on camera. Do you have them where you are at?
Thats looking better, the little skid is pretty light on the ground!
Beautiful property you have there Captain! The road is going to be really cool when done. Nice work 👍🏻
Full Tilt Grading thank you sir!
Ahh yes, that sure looks like good ol' Perry County dirt around 17-18 minute mark. Clay and rock mix that's squishy and slick when wet and hard as concrete and tough to dig when dry.
Brandon Epple thats right! Are you from a round the area?
Currently at my cabin btw Leopold and Mt. Pleasant. Family goes back several generations.
Good job Captain. I'm glad to see a lot of that road is drying up. It could use some bigger rock to help dry up and provide foundation around the culverts. Too bad you didn't have some shale on the property to use as fill. But it'll dry out soon enough. Hope you find some natural resources that add to the unexplored trail leading to the TH-cam Yacht. I'm thinking, fountain of TH-cam, TH-cam falls, or TH-cam down the slip and slide. Make use of those water spillways. summer is almost here. lol Have fun guys, be safe.
Keith L slip and side is an absolute must sir! Grand idea!
Awesome video captain. Wow that mud is drying good no picking on you this time but look out next time
ANDREW Shullick I’ll be ready!
You're going to have to just keep working with that road. It's getting better and better buddy. I hope you and your family are doing well. God bless
Thomas Desmond thank you sir!
Keep filling it in, packin it down! Great job Kleeman! You’re a man after my own heart!
Baby Catcher haha! Hey I’m do my best! Thanks for watching.
Curved road is a nice idea but wondering whether hedge bushes might be an alternative to trees for deliniating the turns; just imagining what might happen to a car going downhill after the road ices over....
Andrew Prychodko well I imagine they’ll hit the tree...probably put up a “slow -trees ahead sign” just to be safe though
Really shaping up. About ready to throw some seed along the sides while you’re waiting on gravel. Stay safe out on the job, retired after 30 yrs. Miss the folks a lot but not the stress of today’s responses
Joey Stump where did you retire from sir?
I’d say about a hunnert percent improvement in the road! A week without rain and you’ll be able to walk it without Muck boots!
So on Tuesday: Will I see you replacing those useless tracks with turf tires for the win? Or, will I see the mighty 755 jerking that Kubota out of the ground like a robin does a worm? Cap’n the suspense is killing me... come on Tuesday!!!!
Nice job shaping the road, sincerely!
That road should look better after each time you work it!
Kirk Rogers absolutely!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. The road is starting to shape up really nice. Love the wandering thru the woods aspect of it. Might make a nice haunted hayride next Halloween with a bonfire or two thrown in. All you need now is a few acres of pumpkins 😂. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Tom Bixby haunted hayride would be cool! Man, the kids would love something like that. I need to make a little trailer to pull around for them. Thanks for watching and stay safe!
That Mike guy is a pretty entrepreneurial fella, renting that equipment out on the weekends. Oh by the way, I saw a couple of trees on the road that need to be taken out... Yeah, saw them right away. Oh, umm do you own that property? Oh you do, well I guess you can do whatever the heck you want on it. Hahaha...
You do good work with that skid steer, cleaning up, giving the road a smoothing out.
Thank you sir.
Gregg B haha, yeah you get it! Thanks for watching and thanks for always dropping a comment. I always notice the ones that leave comments and you seem to be here every time. Means a lot to me!
Captain Kleeman aww well hell, i probably ottaw get a life...
Ahoy Captain
New subscriber here.
Looks fun, and beautiful!
A little imagination movers in the background wouldn't be a bad thing. Lol
Second video I've seen of yours so far. Keep it up.
Sincerly, Ed
Ahoy Captain, Good Sunday morning to you and the family hope you guys are staying healthy. One long and two short to you. (By the way there is a good YT channel by the same name) with great salutes from ships on the Great Lakes
gslenaway one long and two short is the name of the channel? I’ll check it out!
Your road is doing fine Captain now for some sunny days and things will really click along, your wife knows you too well by the look of things danger danger lol!
barry hansen 😂 she knows me well!
I’m no expert but it looks like it’s about time to replace those tracks. I know it’s Mikes skid but it’d be interesting to see those being replaced when Mike changes them. Keep up the good work and can’t wait to see the end result.
B Good those tracks have a lot of meat still, it’s just the style of track I think. That’s one thing about skid steers. They are very versatile machines, but very track specific when it comes to the job they do.
nice job cap but you got some volume of brush an wood to burn
David Meynen absolutely! Lots of good bonfires for the spring and fall!
New subscriber here. Have been keeping up with your vids and giving thumbs up , so why not subscribe if it helps you out. Enjoy your narration and time lapse keeps things moving. You keep it real and don't try and hide the mistakes so all of us can learn. Love the drone vids of the river (we don't have anything like that in the Ozarks) Looking forward to seeing that boat/cabin out in the woods "what an idea". Keep up the good work !!!!!!
stashwax roller hey welcome to the channel! Glad you’re tagging along with us. I have never been to ozarks but it looks beautiful there! How often do you run into Jason Bateman? 😂
The series "Ozark" is actually filmed in Georgia. I live 150 mi . south of the "supposed location of Lake of the Ozarks" and about 50 miles north west of a place called Branson. No famous people around here . sorry dude..
I had to chuckle when you said you got a little bit stuck. Being a little bit stuck is kinda like being a little bit pregnant. With either situation, you're in a little bit of a panic. Lol. Looking forward to the next one brother.
Blackdog Tractor/Excavator you’re right about all of that! 😂
on those 'lonely' trees close by the road, did you consider taking some 5ft tall tree trunks and stand them up around the base of those trees in a circle, then tie them up with some natural looking Manila or Hemp rope? This would make a protective post barrier around the actual tree and any vehicle deciding to get too close will first take out those posts instead of damaging the actual tree. It might also create a little scenic design and deter vehicles from getting too close to those trees as they travel the road.
Silent Epsilon hey that’s not a bad idea! Thanks for the suggestion.
What a great way to spend another "shelter in place" day...visiting the woods! Thanks for the ride along Captain! Do you have your plans for the yacht cabin yet? Can't wait to see them. BTW, did anyone but me catch the JasonWorksALot and Burningdinosaur stickers on the skidder @13:58?😁 As usual, great video
mrmikeyd we have some preliminary plans, but keep tweaking them. Once we get some nailed down I’ll be sure to do an episode on it! Thanks for watching.
- Yes Sheriff I saw that Kubota stolen from Dirty perfect man. I saw it in forest driven by barge captain Clean man. )))))
Thx for video!
Al Eldon 😂 thanks fir watching.
Looking good Captain K! I wish I could share some of our "dry" with y'all! The property I care for went from as wet as I've ever seen it, just a couple of months ago, to as dry as I've ever seen it now. I've been working on this preserve for 15 years now and I've never seen such an extreme swing...
Tim Brown what kind of preserve is it sir?
@@CaptainKleeman I work at a Wildlife Hospital. Our founder was a cranky old lady who cared a LOT more about critters than folks! Anyway, she is long gone but the daily care for the animals goes on, even through the quarantine. Along the way we ended up with 293 acres, and we occupy and use about 3! (Not counting my 40 x 60' shop. That is on the other side of the property where we are slowly building a nature center.) That is also where our New Holland tractor is sitting but not starting😞 Tcwild.org is our site
Oh yeah, the property was once in row crops, then in flowers, and last as cattle range. The cows left about 15 years ago and I NEED that tractor to keep down the vines and other noxious invasive exotic plant life..
"Fixed" the tractor! The dern seat switch had failed...
Well ur gonna be proud of me 26 seconds after you posted this i logged on Usually its the next day ROFLMAO Shaping up really well Anyone will be in pleased to drive on the "Captain Kleeman Parkway" while making the way to the Tugboat in the Woods Keep up the good work and the great videos but BE CAREFUL and stay safe both at work and at home All the best as always
Larry Ceaser hey glad you caught this one early! And I appreciate the kind words. Stay healthy and stay safe! Thanks for watching!
I've never taken the time to thank you for putting interesting videos out, but more importantly Thank You for being a First Responder. Stay safe!!!
Dave Guffey hey we enjoy making these videos when we have awesome subscribers like you! Thanks for the kind words
was that mikes land at the top left of the last river shot o'yes be safe and God bless
George Bryan sometimes you can see his family farm land. Not sure in this video though.
Captain nice job on the road I don’t know if you know just an FYI when you’re grading like that I know you were moving material!!!!!!!! but the last part of your video you were dragging the road,,,,, Way back when a guy told me this years ago always have a bucket full of material in your bucket...... when you’re going to grade a area it knock down the high spots,,, it prevents the bucket from bouncing and helps grade the road just an FYI,,,,,,,(((((( Mikey dirt perfect man)))))) may have already talk to about that. Take care keep up the great work junkmando
If you can’t fill those ruts at the Crap Meets Crap Culvert you might want to hand dig some small channels to allow the ruts to drain. At least they won’t continue to hold water allowing the road base to stay saturated.
#progmessisstillprogress
Not seen you in Mike's videos lately Captain ( I appreciate he's about 2years behind times) hope all's good my friend, track's coming along nicely 👍
Bazza B things have been crazy lately. I may have a small bit on an upcoming video explaining what’s going on. Everything is good, just trying to figure out the safest way to work for him coming home from shift with everything that is happening.
@@CaptainKleeman pleased to hear it 👍
@@CaptainKleeman
Are things busier at the firehouse these days.
I hate to phathom a guess at how much it will cost you to stone the road. In the thousands for sure.
BZ1340 I’ll talk about that on an upcoming video. It will cost some,
But not as much as people might think!
Do these skid steers have a "grading" function where it puts the bucket at the same level between dumps? Or is it sight of eye
If you were to buy a skidsteer for homeowner type work in the future would you only consider one on tracks or would you consider one with wheels? About how far will this site be from the river? Are the barges loud enough to hear so you know if there is one coming you want to watch?
coming along nicely.
add salt to the clay will solidify it in minutes :)
ricky bobby 78 you’re really stuck on this salt thing aren’t you? I’m not saying it wouldn’t work, I’m just saying I don’t want to spend the money on salt when good old sunshine with a light breeze, plus a little time and she will be good to go!
@@CaptainKleeman no not stuck on it , yes of course weather can do the same over a extended period, given how much lock down is going on you can or could fast forward the process is all, which would allow you to move on with what you plan on doing without the waiting game.
It's no skin off of my nose either way, i will make mo more mention of it
I would Never use salt on my land. Have you heard of salting the earth? They talk about it in the Bible if I remember correctly. It kills the land. Nothing will grow there for a hundred or more years.
Now if it was at a lot where a parking lot will be in the city go
Ahead and salt the shit out of it. But never in the country.
@@tommysanfilippo3165 Well if you wish to do some science for yourself? get a soil sample done of different typess of soil , you will find that it naturally exists in it, when soil becomes water logged or heavily rained upon an goes to slush? it is because the salt content has been significantly reduced an it therefore loses its binding abilities, so whether it is mentioned in a bible or not? is of not interest to me, i go on what i know from first hand experience o f having worked with the land for decades over some text in a book changed umpteen amount of times over the years to suit each generation coming through.
Yeah, you’re still in the process of roughing the road in!
A LOT OF BLUE STONE
Going for that "Blair Witch" feeling...
Watch Wes Work hey I heard you destroyed a tracked loader by not greasing it before you started moving it? Is that true? #sarcasm 😂 I enjoy your channel sir!
You cleaned that up pretty well young sir! I like the slightly meandering path, it adds character! It's going to look awesome when it's finished!
Does your property run right down to the river, and would you build a deck, or small landing there?
I hope you and the family are all staying safe! :-)
Chris Skelhorn exactly! Meandering is the word I was looking for but couldn’t remember!
No, unfortunately we don’t go all the way to river. But maybe one day!
@@CaptainKleeman It still sounds good though! :-)
You could make your own beach! :-)
How do you like the skidsteer for making trails? I rented a mini excavator and worked great up until I had lot of dirt to push and I thought a mini bull would probably work best. Seeing this I wonder if it's not the best of both.
Definitely not a fan of a skidsteer in the woods. Mini with a blade would be my preference
Gravel is expensive. Hope you can fix the road
without too much gravel
Making it Happen I’ll talk about that a little bit on an upcoming video. We have a great resource where we are located
How come you don't dig a big hole to throw all the brush and logs I to it ang bury it in the ground?
Looks good captain dirt. How much land do you have you real close to the river thanks again
Terry Reynolds we have six acres and my parents have six acres next to us. We are trying to pick up a little more though. Just don’t have enough to do! 😂
Get as much land as you can! 5 acres wont feed ya very well except for vegetables and rabbits! I wish we had 30 more!
Its ridiculous how effective a skid steer can be.......really starting to look like a road
Chris Helms they have their place. Seemed to be the right tool for this job. Thanks for watching!
what are the purple trees below near the very end of video?
Ron Perkins red buds
You need a week of sun and wind now. Your road is getting close.
VideosByAl we are getting excited!
I live in the woods down a big hill. What is the best gravel to use to try and stop it from washing out so bad. I have put red clay from my property but once we have a rain it washes down the hill. I would love any help on this subject.
kevin neel well in my experience any stone that has lime mixed in (or some kind of fine material that packs) works the best. BUT, the key to a road not washing out is having good crown and good ditches. If the water stays on the road all the way down; it will always wash out regardless the stone that is used. Have to get it off the road and keep it off. Hope that makes sense and good luck!
@@CaptainKleeman Thanks yes that makes sense.
So do u ever catch any catfish?
Where are the shale rock deposits when you need one?
zbudda exactly! Would love to have one close by
Captain Kleeman you are a tad northwest of me( 5 hours) but i would LOVE to give you some shale! I have 2.5 acres of it!
Hey it's a --2...or maybe the video is Sped up...yep both statements are true! LOL
Another Good one Cap.!
Brent_Auctions_Indiana hey glad you’re enjoying the content and thanks for watching!
Does 'Dirt Perfect' have to wait until video #2 to watch the skidsteer get a little bit stuck (lol)?
DaveC 63 haha, hey I don’t want him giving away any spoilers!
i'm a little scared how to get your cabin / boat up that narrow path uphill but we wait patiently maybe all your subscribers should help push and pull ??
Johan Reibestein hey! Update. We have decided to actually BUILD the boat-cabin-creation on site. Going to design it around a tow boa!
@@CaptainKleeman oh I thought you wanted to place the previous flat-bottomed houseboat there, and yes I have been a subscriber for a long time hihihi, gr from the Netherlands, btw beautiful country you live
What county in Indiana is this??
Where are you from man? I also live on the ohio river but in northern WV
where did you get your capt licence? im thinking of getting one, nice job on your road .
David Silvia haha, I don’t have a captains license. It’s just a TH-cam handle. Thanks for watching and catch you on the next one!
Just how many acres do y'all have there Kleeman?
struggle4all between us and our parents ground, we take care of 12 acres
How close are you to the Mason Dixson Line ???
Ada Pedneau oh just a few hundred feet I suppose
your renting....he's not letting you borrow the equipment :)
Mark he cuts me a pretty dang good deal. Ol’ dirt perfect takes care of me.
Nice job! Are all the controls on the joysticks or do you have pedals also?
John Hambrick they are all in the joysticks, but I do use the foot throttle control a lot. Some use the lever on the side
@@CaptainKleeman what is the foot control for on the Kubota?
John Hambrick the foot control on that skid steer is just for the throttle. Works like an accelerator pedal in a car.
