Jerry is a darling: if you rip it up too much he'll just straighten it up again ❤️
Really impressed with the versatility of that 550. And the capacity of that bucket and lift on that thing, wow!
I'm glad Case let you use this thing and review it. Usually, when I watch a video from a manufacturer, I listen for the stats/specs only. I try to filter out the "fluff" of why their machine is the best on the market. I trust a true end user's opinion way more than the people trying to sell me something. Can't wait to hear your thoughts when the trial period is over.
From the advertising cost and tactical selling feature I'm inclined to believe that there is no better way to do it than here or with like-minded professionals.
I'm guessing they know their machine is a little beast improperly thawed out in R&D phases.
Something else dealerships like to employ is the tactic of getting the prospective buyer to drive a vehicle.
Their chances of selling a vehicle to someone who drives a vehicle increases exponentially above the 50% 60% mark.
I think for them it would be a tax write-off and they capitalize off of three different playing fields.
Got to admit this is a beast of a machine so far that we've seen!
The Minotaur is a mini terror for versatility! It’s fun to watch you put it to the test!
31.20 Jerry says “I don’t know what to think about it yet” 😂 I’m shouting at the screen “get in there Jerry boy!” 😂😂👍🏽
That thing was very impressive! I've been an electrician for 23 years and I consider myself lucky to come up in a time with massive growth in technology and convenience when it comes to tools of the trade however I have so much respect for the old-timers who did just as good a job with far less.
It would be great to see let's dig 18 run this also
Wow the 550 is off to a good start as far as I'm concerned. 6 buckets to load the 8500, that's just mind blowing. In Dozer mode it made short time on cleaning up from what I could see through the " Dirty Windows " .....lol. Curious on fusage tho and would love to see what Jerry's opinion is of it.I was shocked when Matt jumped out and said Mike you gotta try this!! I'm still wary about the swing door tho. Man that's a nice piece of equipment!! Keep up the good work Mike. 😀😀
Matt needs to change his vehicle placement, behind you is unproductive.
Was really hoping to see the rippers on the Case put into action.
Stay tuned
@@DirtPerfect ,you know if you turn one ripper shank around and take the other ones off, it works incredible for ripping stumps out. The old-timers used to do that with the D 8+ D9's.
@@DirtPerfect Great place on the arms behind the CASE sticker for the DIRT PERFECT logo sticker!!
Some things don’t come across in the camera but yours and Matt’s excitement about the Minotaur bucket work sure did!
All I can say about the Minotaur is "I want one! That thing is awesome! Thanks to you and CASE for letting us see equipment like this in real world situations! Can you imagine a fleet of these being used in rescue or cleanup situations in places where a tornado or other natural disaster has hit?
I had to put my sunglasses on because Mike was smiling so much my eyes 👀 burned
Great to see you & Jerry tag-teaming this morning! I sat here with my mouth open is disbelief as Matt loaded the Minotaur! I have a Bobcat 853 with a big bucket, and it wouldn't come close to how quickly and how well the Minotaur heaped its bucket. Granted, I've got wheels and you've got steel tracks, but WOW WOW WOW, like a knife thru warm butter that bucket was full! Thanks, Mike & Jerry! Lee
It lifted that load up over that Tandem like I never before saw a Skid Steer Lift. I’m tongue tied. It lifted high
I can't wait for your final thoughts but what a great opportunity you have. Seems like you are adjusting well to it. Stay safe
The MINOTAUR is a tonka toy on steroids. The new kid on the block. Very impressive to say the least. Love the videos. 👍👍👍
Anyone else notice DP had to get a bigger scoop with the Minotaur than Mr Millennial. Lol God bless
It’s good to see Jerry back on the channel. You have created a lot more tillable ground on your farm and taking out all those trees along the ditch will make those beavers move somewhere else. I enjoyed this video very much.
From that first scoop of dirt I was impressed with that Minotaur! Good gravy that bad noun just wants to work!
Thanks for sharing your testing of that machine, it looks pretty interesting, and the "Swiss Army Knife" equipment idea is getting my attention.
I could see that becoming part of your fleet! That would be great for setting up basements
That was the reaction from Jerry I expected, it took almost a year before he'd get in the 850J and close the doors.
I could watch all of you operate. Good camaraderie you guys have. It is a joy to work with a good crew. I really miss that part of my life. Y’all havagudun.
Starting to look good Mike. There will be a lot of extra planting acreage by the time you are done. A little birdie tells me the Minotaur will find a new home in your garage.
Now here’s something funny, you almost have something from every single big name equipment manufacturer. Your definitely not brand bias.
That is like watching the little engine that could. 👍
Michael I just love to watch your channel you and the guys work hard to make Gods land more beauitful keep u the great work and I can’t wait to see the LT,Dan dump done and working
👍 Looks good man. Looking forward to D4 comparisons on fuel usage, ease of transport, etc.
Mike smile is almost as bright as the sun I think it's a great addition to the fleet great video thanks Mike and Jerry
Make white paint marks across the ripper & mount centred on the hole then you can line them up visually. Also put one on the front of the ripper blade at the top of the mount so you can see it from the cab
I have a CASE TV450B 90 H.P and love that machine. The pushing power for it is just insane. I can only imagine the Minotaur!!
That new minotaur looks like a keeper versatile machine
On camera seems to run just like a small dozer, I can see it replacing 30% of the D4 workload and about 15-20% of your skid steer's work load. I suppose we'll see what the fuel is like over time. Pretty cool machine Mike, I'd like to see that ripper in action.
Hay Michael jerry is one heck of and operated love watching him work
That DL looks so nice working, if I was a landscaper, and if I had $100,000 lying around, and if I had a need for it, I would definitely buy one!
I’ve heard more like 200k for pricing on it but yep agree
@@pjs5191 can buy a lightly used D4 and 299D for that kind of money.
@@pjs5191 In my experience it is roughly in the middle of where you two are, depending on the dealer.
Nice to see Jerry back
That thing is gonna be a beast for you if you decide to keep it. Going to be interesting watching how it can change your work and benefit you especially on finish work.
I wasn't crazy about the Minotaur at first but I have changed my mind, that thing is a beast and can do so many things with it!
hi jerry , nice to see you !!!🤩
Morning, good to see Jerry back
I watched a couple sections twice because I could not believe how well that machine did. I hope once testing is complete your in a position to get one.
I still can't believe that thing is a beast love the new 550 Minotaur the lift height is awesome it seems to go a lot higher then a regular skid steer can't wait to see Jerry in it keep up the videos DP love them
A good point of the Minataur is the user health, with the cab you are out off the dust and with the air conditioning you have the best of both worlds, warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Where as with the D4 you freeze and the summer sweat, whilst breathing in the dust and engine fumes
That thing is awesome can’t wait to see more of it wow a league of it own
Great video Mike. Thanks for sharing.
That might not be a "dozer" but familiarity with the design of the machine helps alot
Great job running the Minotaur guys
Project coming along nicely,you and Jerry are killing it.the case looks like it would be beneficial with all the different jobs it can perform.visibility is looking good if you could see thru the dirty glass.hint,hint.getting Jerry to run that case would by itself make a great video.y’all just keep doing what y’all doing and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
I'm really impressed with that little beast.
Glad you are out there to keep Jerry informed on dozing techniques! Minotaur pretty powerfull for a skid-steer!👍
That is a hell of a unit to change from blade to bucket and the power you need that .Well done guy's
Mike here's an idea someone with your smarts and experience may have already thought of meaning because you don't use it there is some reason it wouldn't work or other obstacle, but I thought I would run it by you anyway.
Your comment about just running the ripper teeth into the ground and leaving them that way for easy reinstallation used to be a relatively common practice with the big ripper teeth on Cat D9's in the Australian Opal fields.
But watching you fuss with installing ripper teeth on your 850 got me thinking there must be a safer and easier way to do it which caused the idea to occur, so here goes.
If you had a rack set up so ripper teeth could be lowered into it off the tractor all at once and stored there when not in use, it could hold them so they were always in ideal alignment for reinstallation on the 850 or whatever other dozer.
All you would need to do then would be to drop the rack holding the ripper teeth on a trailer then back the trailer under the ripper frame on the dozer and lower the ripper frame on the dozer until it contacted stops on the rack holding the teeth.
It might be a bit of bother setting it all up, but the stops should ensure the pin holes on the teeth and in the frame of the dozer were aligned along with everything else for easy solo installation then you simply insert the retaining pins, lift the teeth out of the rack and off you could go!
Keep up the great videos DP. Looking forward to Jerry's feedback on the Case
Looks like an amazing piece of equipment and I have a feeling we'll be seeing it for years to come :)
Thank you and have a great day.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 the machines, looking good so far, I like to see with all the attachments
I could see where that would be a good piece for the farm. Another Awesome Video
Great video DP. Ole case did pretty great too. Can't wait to see Jerry operate it and hear what he says.
Wow looking good so far Mike. Can not wait to see Jerry using it. He will love it.
Yes, words of wisdom by Jerry! Love it!
Eeven more intrigued ! having one machine that is that versatile would definitely be $$$$. Gotta love it when a machine pays for itself 👍.
And also I think you did pretty darn good with that bulldozer on that minotaur
I started to say that "little" machine but after seeing what it can do it works much bigger then it looks. I think it did a great job with both the pushing and bucket. Looking forward to Jerry's thoughts. Nice work.
Machine definitely punches above it's class...
Great job running the excavator Mr Dirt Perfect
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. The job is looking good and the Minotaur is looking good also. Looking forward to seeing more of it being put thru it’s paces. Will be interesting to see if you decide to keep it and hear your review. Guess we will have to wait to see if it’s sticker worthy or not. Wishing you and your family the best.
Looking good guys
You are going to have to get that machine amazing. Great job guys. God Bless
That was impressive Mike. 👍🏻
that thing is a beast hope you keep it makes great content big thumbs up boys 👍👍👍👍
Good video, Sir. I like the Minotaur !! And i can see it replacing 2 machines a skid-steer and small dozer !!! Your friend from COLD and Snowy Michigan calling for 3-5" today
Good stuff. It's been fun watching you grow buddy, keep 'er going
Wow you did a bit of everything in this video. That new pusher steer is impressive in it's versatility. Love seeing Jerry again. Great video DP. Thank you. 💪
That little skid dozer is kinda cool. But man you need a road grader. We do all sorts of waterways in farm ground. Ruffin it in with a dozer and fine-tune it with a grader.
No need with a good dozer operator
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Matt
So far a it's got the power! ND CAN FINISHa job. I'm most impressed bye how quick it can fill up the gmc wow!
Great video! Congratulations to Matt on how he easily scooped up a huge bucket of dirt with the Minatuar on his first time! Your farm will gain several acres of useable land by the dozer work you’re doing. The reshaping job looks great, so far! The finished tillable field will be awesome!
Cool machine jobs looking good thanks for sharing
All made for a great video bro, it's quite a handy machine already. Safe travels
Next, once you get the hang of the Minotaur, you need to run it side by side with Jerry on the d4. No one will critique your abilities compared to Jerry on finishing.
Hey you got the blade shined up 👍👍
Looks like the challenge is the porpoising from the shorter wheelbase. Just an impression from the peanut gallery. Love the power and height-reach of the bucket.
Great job with the case, like you’ve been on it for years👍👍
Jerry the master at work
Finish work looks really good. Hope you get to really give the Dl550 Minotaur a good work out.
Hey mike quick word of thanks to you and your guys , last January almost died from covid went in and should not have came out , Im 60 and it hit me hard after escaping it for the first two years ,came out 40lbs lighter and( sorry to those who lost loved ones , ) 5 days later we had that last blizzard and was on machine pushin 20 inches of snow for one and a half days no breath lungs still messed up my daughters where very mad at me but they where gonna get somone else to do the snow and I ashored them I would be there ,cant let anyone on your accounts could loose it ,you know how that goes,,,, but just wanna let you guysis lol...know you workin on your equipment and going to work and seein jerry knockin out as usual, has made me get my second wind on workin by myself as usual and workin on my stuff even on days I dont have a job to go to , feel like part of the crew in my own business ,just wanted to thank you for all the encouraging content Two you and yours many years of good jobs and work ,peace👍👍👍👍M.H.T.
Mike looking great! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Morning DP , the start of this video reminded me of a song that goes " just one look was all it took " , in the case of you and Matt it was " just one scoop was all it took " , the look on your faces was priceless ! Jerry owes it to himself to at least give it a try . You missed one thing when you were talking about the experience being more like a dozer with the controls etc. The steel tracks make it sound like a dozer running instead of a skid steer .
In my opinion case with this machine has revolutionized the way to see the skid steer. A truly strong and versatile machine.
I'm glad you quit work in time for Date Night...
If the Misses isn't happy it could make buying a new piece of equipment a little difficult...
Hahaha!!! Great video... Big thumbs up... 😎👍
Seen some other vids of this versatile beast in action. 💪🏻 It pushes dirt, loads dirt, brush-hogs, power rakes…etc. Very handy machine, but it probably comes at a hefty price tag! As always, it’ll come down to ROI #’s for the Biz. Thanks for sharing DP!
so far, that is an impressive machine....except for the outswing door.....maybe they will correct that over time
Great job looking great keep up the great work love your videos thank you
The 850 sounds so good.
Love your videos are awesome content
You should add some lines across the back of the rippers to line up the holes.
Mike when are we going to see the Dirt perfect Tag sticker on the Case Minotaur? We all know you love it and it is even captain proof, so Mike it is about time you buy American and buy the Case Minotaur,and add it to your fleet for good!
Morning fellas , Keep up the good !
Good job guys
Great job running the dozer Jerry
One word, versatile 👍
