Super Job, Well Done. Great to have a good road base already there. Rock bucket did a good job to dig the ditch & culvert. Brought the road up to current standards with low maintenance.
Thanks
Now this is a video that I really enjoyed, Thanks Mike
Thanks
Give Matt and MBTS their camera time. The roller is their machine. Lol God bless
The grader attachment mesmerized me. That history be the best attachment ever.
That’s a good looking road. I’d never seen a grader attachment like that, it does an amazing job.
Thanks
thanks for sharing. nice work . team work with the right equipment you guys make it look easy
Couple mirrors on the front of that grader attachment would allow you to see the blade.. You did a nice job of the road!
Roller videos with Mr. Millennial are always perfect.
One of my favorite things to do is watching dirt turn it's relaxing you guys made a nice woods road thanks again John
Thanks
Roller footage is part of the process so keep it in you videos. Love your videos!
That looks a lot better than before good job guys
Thanks
Watching the roller is a stress reliever and the guy driving it is awesome 🙂
I've seen a lot of dirt roads in Vermont but none look this good.
Nice job, NYAM can step up his roller game by making the last passes in reverse to get the tire tracks out, 😆 lol
that grader attachment is awesome, but NYA's magic touch makes the roller video worth watching!
Yeah but dirt perfect the the roller it packs everything in makes it a smooth clean look I think it looks good I think it looks really good and the way you explain everything the floor of the water I think it's going to flow great awesome job
Great job nice keep up the great work love your videos thank you
Watching some driveway repair is a nice change.
Definitely fix dodo drove for sure those look good👍👍👍👍👌 God bless🙏
@19:10, I have never seen a skid steer grader attachment. That's about the most clever attachment when you have a skid steer, and rarely need a big motor grader.
Works awesome
Always informative, interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for posting. 👍🇬🇧
Good job making 'teeth' on that bucket and we've seen it a few times on jobs - good move! Nice Road Grading & Building, 'TAILGATING' and the State Highway Dept may be calling upon you! Good EDUCATIONAL CONTENT as well. Thank you DIRT PERFECT! Sonny (I remember when you installed the grader controller - COOL!)
At 18:12, I have a potential solution for you: Winston Churchill once said : "I didn't say you did it, I just said I'm going to blame you for it."
Nice job on the driveway!!
Thanks 👍
looking good guys 👍
think this is the first vid of yours ive watched, hear about you on other channels all the time. That's a very nice finish you got on this! subbed
Thanks welcome to the channel
I like watching all the steps to the finishing project. 👍
It's part of the project and it's better than watching paint dry! 😂
Amazing. I love it
Nice work!
I know it's on camera but you must have a lot of happy workers working for you.. That's the key everyone enjoy life you only get one.. Dicky Mint from Durham England say hats off to you. 👏👏👏👏👏
Nice work! There is always a huge sense of satisfaction taking an old worn out road and making it new again. Only you make it look easy! 👍
That's a good build
Me and my people decided nope, is comfortable right here.... lol
Your man there appears to have a good eye for grade. I like the skid steer grader blade set up, i seems to be the ticket for that job and I would imagine one lot cheaper to maintain then a actual grader it self.👍
I’ve done similar work for about 10 years for myself and neighbors. That was some 1st class gravel road work. I’m impressed. Well done.
Thanks
here is an idea for an INTERESTING SHOT on the roller, attach the GOPRO on the drum as so it will rotate with it
12:30- Watching them put the culvert in, all I can hear is POST 10 saying it should b buried at least half it's diameter
Well done! Never seen a grader attachment operated that effectively before!!! Makes me want to build one!!!
The roller part might seem boring but I appreciate it because I am thinking of getting a roller for myself . They really do make a huge difference ,and add to the longevity of the road base . Thanks for showing all aspects of the job .
The roller might be boring, but the end result speaks for itself, came out just perfect, Driveway Perfect !😁
For the roller footage you gotta do some sort of Austin powers gag like with they did with the Zamboni...
Real good job!
Thanks
We enjoy watching the machinery, with little face time. Explains a lot off camera. We like the explanation of how the machine works, while it is in the camera frame and actually working as it passes by. First time seeing the steer skid grader at work . Good luck on future videos / jobs. No criticism meant.
The excitement with a roller is as a viewer, you are certain that he is just too close to the edge and ready to break over. Inspected asphalt paving for 8 years and just knew without a shoulder the operation defies science and gravity.
👍 nothing wrong with roller footage. 🏊♂️ Beats watchn' water boil.
VERY cool idea on the rock bucket. Looks like it really worked well. Smart thinking.
Thanks
I have to say that's one of the best jobs of tailgate spreading road base I've seen. That's a skill not many "professional truck drivers" have anymore. Nice job overall. I will comment that roller footage can be boring, but I do like to see the results, and think that's one of the steps most "gravel road builders" miss.
Thanks Dan
Awesome job DP and Matt
I thought i saw you with a single tooth ripper shank. They work good for roots and rock
Hi Mike, You have certainly found the right combination of gear and chain links to lay down a very nice road. It looks like you have acquired just about all of the pieces of equipment that you need for just about any job. My favorite piece of equipment you have is the power rake. It really puts a great finish on the jobs you use it for. HAVE GOOD DAYS!
Thanks buddy
You really do get a variety of projects to do in your everyday job,of course you have your sidekick to help you.just keep doing what your doing and get it done 😎😎😎👍👍👍
Your tipping/spreading skills are nearly as good as Andrews.😂👍👌
The property owners are going to be amazed at how wonderful of a job you did on that driveway. It really turned out nice. Another dirt perfect job!
Thanks
You might want to think of adapting a front before the front wheels
All what you said is true about building a drive, good base, crown and getting the water off as fast as possible, and rolling to pack it tight. But after all that the way to keep it that way is not to think it’s a interstate and drive on it like your in a hurry to get some where. A straight drive not so bad but curves and people driving fast rolls the rock every trip up and down and before you know it more rock and more time spending fixing where water starts running where you don’t want it to.
Looks good 👍 👌 😋
Thanks
In Canada we call it A base.
Where I live in South Dakota, there is a rails to trails pathway that runs from the SW corner of the state to Deadwood. It's a little over 100 miles. Currently they are resurfacing it. They are using a CAT road grader with tire rollers behind to compact and smooth it. I recently took a walk on it and hit a portion that hadn't been compacted. It was like walking on beach sand. I'm sure people would prefer it were paved, but it's used by everyone from pedestrians to people on horseback.
Compactor is part of the job. :) What a beautiful place that is. Thank you and have a great day.
i was wondering how you change them drums over. 2 machines makes more sence. nice job fellas. cheers.
Thanks
Nice work .. if you don't video the roller he could roll it over and you would miss it on video .. texting and driving ,, the old driveway pipe gave it all it had ..
I appreciate every aspect of what you and the team does, from pipe install to dozer work to yes even roller work. Your videos are something I look forward to every time you release one! Great look on the old road. I think on your grader attachment for the skid steer, you should replace the joystick with a larger one topped with a skull :-)
Awesome, thank you!
Nice small job to get the day going, Cleaned up nicely and should last for some time. Dump truck skills definitely improve over that last one with MBTS and Matt giving directions 😂 👍🇺🇸
I agree the roller is boring but it makes a job look good
Recently there was an auction here and I noticed that there was a GALION K5 road grader in it. Might have been nice to have to maintain our paved roads in our development when it snows.
Mike what about some kind of wripwrap at the beginning of the culvert? Do you do anything like that to help keep the dirt from filing it in?
No need
@@DirtPerfect thank you
Damn, I wish you guys were in my neck of the woods.. I'm working on putting in about a 2k' drive which entails pulling about 100 stumps which obviously includes cutting and removing the trees that were attached to those stumps. Never operated an excavator but I'm about to learn. I guess I'll need more than a mini huh? lol.....
Lol yes probably
Nice work! I was getting an 8 yard truck delivering #57 smooth round rock for $260, now they (the gravel pit) will only deliver 5 yards for $335.
Crazy
Smooth round rock will not pack very well, hard to walk on because it is always moving. #57 will pack for a much nicer driveway. I made the mistake of the round rock on my driveway, hated it.
@@jmit5650 I use it for drainage, water seems to move through it better...french drains mostly.
As always a great video and rolling can be boring but nice to see how it completes the job every machine has a place always nice to know how they function 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow Mike n Matt another quality job done by Dirt Perfect and NYA Millennial " Not Mr. millennial" another runway with a crown for the water 🌊 to drain. Looks fantastic boys 👍👍👍. keep up the good work.
I think you are a pretty good truck driver
Thanks Jim
:o that grader thing is good. It is cat and they ought to know how to build one. A tracked mini grader though, that’s a good tool :o)
As always, what an awesome transformation. It looks fantastic.
Great video Michael.
Thanks Tom
I wish the rock was that easy in PA.
If you want to make a roller exciting, take it out on a icy hill. Have a great day.
Lol
Nice job Mike. I'd give you 95% on this project. Turn that roller around where the tires lead and the drum follows that eliminates the tire tracks. Leaving those tire imprints means it isn't compacted enough where rain can loosen it up and owners car will pick up the loose material and eventually develop pot holes. Just a suggestion
You Certainly Tailgated That Stone Better Than Most “Professional” Drivers I Have Encountered. And I’ve Encountered A Few. Catch You On The Next One, Keep It Safe Out There
Another fantastic 5 ⭐ video, just don't understand the concept of the blade on the Roller haven't seen too many of them but anywhoo God bless catch yah on the next one 👋👋
Handy for random wind rows or push back a end thanks
Mighty fine Job Sir!!👍I wish I could get DP and the Magic Man to come do our driveway in Missouri. LOL but it would have to be on a Payment plan. LOL HAVE A BLESSED DAY BROTHER
Thanks
A comparison in this video to the last one where you ask for thoughts on the “float function” on the AMI Ruckus Rake. With the grader attachment the front axle beam is completely free to articulate over uneven ground allowing the blade to remain somewhat stable to your setting meaning the skidsteer remains stable traveling over the graded surface.
It should be the same with the Ruckus Rake giving you a better finish after the first pass.
That's a first. Iv never seen a grader blade attachment for a skid steer before.
I assume that should work on a tractor? I'm thinking low budget rural road crews just running box blade and or land planes.
Yup they make pull behind
For being an Operator your doing purdy good Tailgating, but when are you going to load that Cheby ?
Enjoyed the video DP. Awesome job.
Thanks
I think the roller makes all the difference, good job! J.R.
It is satisfying to see the finished product after the roller packs it down. 👍👍😊
That's Super NYA Man!
Those rock teeth are awesome they really get the job done. And as always another perfect job. Keep the videos coming DP.
Thats the thing to film what a difference the roller makes and how compaction is difference?
From byway to highway. Love it! The change from 6" to 8" (?) culvert will double/triple the flow, too.
Talking 'nose tingle' how about 'teeth edging'! - those bucket teeth on the sandstone (fingernails drawn down a chalk board). The attachment to the skid steer really does a good job. Rolling may be boring but the finish is worth it. Another informative video thanks DP.
How much time did it take on that bucket to get the hang of that grader??? You make it look easy!!
Few jobs and thanks
I see that reliable Chevrolet instrument cluster doing a dance on the way to the quarry
First off thanks for all your work on you tube i really like you channel. I have one question i have watched a lot of your videos and i was wondering do you have to call a utility marking company every time you dig? Where i am from you have to call dig right every thine you dig.
Yes we call 811
Excellent job resurfacing that cart road Mike.
The grader attachment is certainly earning it's cost.
Another well satisfied customer I'm sure.
In a small town area like you live in word gets around when you do outstanding work so I'm sure you'll be getting more of this work coming your way.
I'm sure the owner of that property finds the difference very exciting! I always rubber kneck when I see equipment like that as I drive by but it's nice to see how it shapes the dirt into something better for the intended purpose.
You could add excitement to rolling by using a variation of the "dangling carrot" technique. Options for the "carrot" could be (operator's choice) photo of ex-girlfriend, photo of the high school bully that used to take your stuff, photo of a former boss that hated you vice versa, etc. Hang the photo out front of the roller and let your imagination run free.
Like brand spanking new
Mikey… the basics of road building were well known by Roman times. Unfortunately, our county road district has never read any classic Roman literature. I suspect they skipped right from Dr. Seuss to Mad Magazine!
My daughter lives at the intersection of two roads. The paved road is a county line. On one side the county has installed culverts, graded the ditches and paved the crossroad.
On her side, there is no culvert. The ditch along the county line road is silted in. Water backs up to the unpaved crossroad. That is the front corner of her yard.
The unpaved road gets graded once a year. Usually in the summer when the ground is bone dry. The grader blade bounces from stone to stone, rolling them out of the road bed. The last pass of the grader is to go down the center making it flat and piling the uprooted rocks into the already full ditches.
The result is that the roadbed becomes the drain. The intersection becomes a pond. The ditches can’t be mowed because they are filled with huge boulders. And, the county saves a bunch of money from grading and gravel cost!
This fall, they did dump a half load of limestone gravel in the pond. By the time the water had receded the lime slurry had coated their yard and the gravel made deeper pot holes that haven’t dried out since they dumped it there!
So Mikey, you keep building roads using the tried and true classic Roman techniques and I’ll keep sending video links to the county commissioner!
I work for a county road department. I'm not going to make any excuses for what you are seeing, some departments are pretty bad. But also remember there are factors to consider which you may not be aware of and may not be in the control of the road department. I wouldn't necessarily jump on their case and immediately say they are bad. Maybe there are future plans for that road and they are only doing the minimum necessary until they implement those plans. Or maybe there are other reasons. For example, we catch a lot of flack for plugged ditches, even though we spend a lot of time and money ditching. One reason, we are a small shop (only 10 guys) and our shop is responsible for almost 200 miles of roadway. The other factor is the idiot environmentalists have complained. So now every ditch that drains into the bay is considered a fish bearing stream and requires pulling permits not only with fisheries but also with the local tribes. This can take months or years to get approved, just for cleaning out a ditch. We also have homeowners that illegally modify the ditch. And then we have other responsibilities too. We do everything from paving and chip sealing, to mowing and tree trimming. If it's in the right of way, we're responsible. It's a lot of work for 10 guys to do. Again, I'm not justifying the crew where you are at. Maybe you're right and they are bad or lazy. I'm just pointing out that there may be other factors involved as to why things aren't necessarily getting done or are getting done haphazardly. I am glad to hear you are involving the county commisioner though.
@@mikel9567 I believe you are correct… the county on their side of the road is less populated and has fewer businesses. The county seat is in the largest city in the center of the county. They keep the roads near it in great condition.
As you travel outward the attention declines precipitously. By the time you get to the county line it is as bad as I described. The local crew is designated as a ‘Special Road District’. The area that they cover is paved East/West almost entirely. Very few North/South roads are paved…. All those are treated the same as my daughters.
In their talks with the County Road Commissioners, my SIL & daughter have been told for 9 years that the Special District had funds to adequately cover ditching and grading expenses… yet, their road is in this condition.
I think there is something going on that they do understand… the half load of gravel only showed up after my daughter mailed a picture of the flooded intersection to three of the county commissioners… and one to the county newspaper.
I have lived along country roads almost all of my life. The crews are hard workers and do what they can with what they have. It appears to me that this crew suffers from the politicians who fix the roads where the votes are and not where it is needed most.
I don’t fault the crew… I fault their bosses.
That Grader attachment works slick...Crowns the road nicely. Great job. Thats one of my favorite things too do is building a road or Repairing one that is a Mess..Its Gratifying when you get done with it how they turn out..Great Video.
