Thank Matt for his service. Little man will always remember being on the equipment and helping build that pad. I like hearing you guys giving each other a hard time. That makes the day go by faster and the work fun. Aaron is a master at talking trash.
I thought that was Jerry on the dozer in the beginning, then I realized the video was on time lapse. Lol. Sorry, I'm a bit off my meds this morning. Guys named Chris on this channel are a hoot, and their trucks don't sound as good as Michael's. It looked like Axle was having a good time, and that's alright with me. He's a fine young man. Thank you Matt for your service. Thank you for fighting for all of us. We appreciate it more than a few words can express. Everyone, please have a blessed and safe day, and stay healthy. Take care.
How wonderful to see a young man with such good male role models around him! First, Dad, who brings him out to learn about your work and who teaches him some simple good manners (such as offering cold drinks to workers on a hot day)... And you all, who took him under your wings, so to speak, to show him your jobs and how grown men can interact with one another in a fun, wholesome, and productive way! I have the feeling that Axel will never forget this day! Bless you all!
Great Comment I remember being as excited as he is when I was around the big guys doing this kind of stuff WoW it's bringing back great great memories my grandfather who I lost way way way to early in my young life but I remember him so well and I will keep his memory alive every chance I get I'm extremely happy for this little man and Boom so PROUD of him
Looks to me that Axel is the only one who showed up to work. You guys didn’t even have gloves! I think he can teach y’all a thing or two! Chris, welcome to the Midwest... servicemen are our heroes here!!!!!
Axl was smiling from start to finish, that is how memories are made, you all took time to show him.the ropes, knew day he may come and work for you Mike!! You got some m3 (metre cube) of clay moved spread and compacted between you all, plenty laughs along the way too !!!
When I was 19 I drove a R-22 Euclid truck in a sand pit for a very short time, and I loved every minute of it. Our four trucks were loaded with s front end loader. Great memories.
Awesome Axle is going to remember that day for ever, maybe a new employee for the future. Thanks for your services Matt long may the farm stay in your families hands looks like for the near future anyway.
This is a amazing time in this little guys life ya'll are putting a ear to ear smile on his face he will have awesome dreams every night wow I remember how excited I was as a little man just to see a picture of a piece of equipment and he is living it on his property and one day I'm sure that he will own this I'm so happy for him the happiest little man TODAY thanks guys Thumbs up my friends
DP excellent dozer operator and that's no joke. Wished I was a kid again like axle you made his year there buddy. Thanks for your time in making a great vidja.
Heah DP, nice to see you got that slacker Arron off that vibrating roller and actually working. No more lollygagging for him Y'all. Crack that whip hee he he. Just kidin', Y'all do a great job there.
It's awesome that he's going to keep the family farm going too many of them are disappearing and going by way of corporate farming, we lost ours in 98, too many years of bad prices. Great video with the youngster supervising, someone has to look after you guy's! ;-)
Great videos and Axel is quick to character for a youngster. Always like your shenanigans with behind the scenes guy and all the guys you work with. Be Safe guys and stay virus free. 👍👍🇨🇦🐶❤
I got to ride on a big cat bulldozer when I was a little older than Axle. I can still recall holding on for life when we went up a huge pile of dirt and again when we slid down the far side. I remember the whole ride. A few years later the dozer operator was elected county Sheriff.
I’ve been on a site for about a month with RAWSO Constructors watching them grade and testing compaction. Really amazing to see how much just a weeks worth of work does for a site starting from nothing.
Great video Mike as always. I think you need a new truck driver. The man behind the scene tries to do his best but you can't stay mad at him. I enjoy all your videos Mike I like how you explain everything have a great day
The borrow pits never get returned to their original stature. Gotta rename them "stole hole". Lol Btw, how many Chris' we gotta remember now? Do we have more Mike's? Axle is a great equipment operator name. 👍
That's such a cool place. Man those shade trees N old barn is awsome. Thanks for sharing. Camera does grades no justice. Looked somewhat level after u stripped topsoil
I remember getting my first ride in a dump truck when I was six or seven years old in a big Brigadier! I thought it was the biggest truck in the world back then and he taught me how to shift it!
You made it too efficient loading the trucks Mike. On the plus side, it gave TMBTS more time to do what he does best... TALK! 😉 Was the plan with putting Chris on the roller that his added -weight- muscle would provide more compaction? 😉
I can still remember my first ride in the cab of a dozer on the operator’s lap. As a matter of fact, it was just last week! JK. I never been on a dozer with a cab. 🚜
I thought I'd heard someone call where you're getting the dirt from a "Borrow" pile, so when will you return it? ;-) I was just about to ask if there's gate latches that are operated (electrically, hydraulically) from the cab or are the manual?
Gotta ask a question. Do you ever have days where you're running the dozer and your hands just don't seem to work right? I was using my tractor (with a front loader) and for once I just didn't seem coordinated😄‼️ Probably like when man behind the scenes runs the dozer🤣🤣‼️
The building I’m doing is about that same size. Gonna do all steel 70’x120’ 20’ on the eves. Hope to add 25’ lean to on each side eventually and make it full 120’x120’
I remember riding the excavator across the pond when I was 3 with my dad when he was digging the ponds at there house, big equipment always awesome when your a young kid something you don’t forget
I never caught the vids where you had problems with the the de walt. I had friends rave about it, finally bought one last fall. I thought I just had bad experience of a lemon. So I bought a second this spring, then saw another of you vids cursing it. 😫 🤪 I am having somewhat better results withthe second one. I have not tried to talk tothe company yet.
If ur refering to the grease gun....I have one BUT it depends on what grease u use. Some of the cheaper grease will not run well at all. I use the valvoline crimson on my equipment and never have a problem. Learnt that from my neighbor who went through the issue with his dewalt.
I DONT THINK THE GUY ON THE ROLLER HAS THE VIBRATOR ON, DONT HEAR IT AT ALL AS HE COMES CLOSE to the camera, and in clay that think of a lift you need it, in fact we use a claw foot roller in VIBRATOR ON in heavy clay, just a flat roller dont do much in clay unless its on, you can go over it with just a flat roller then go over it with a claw foot on vib, and it will go down another 4 to 6 inchs
Two trucks keeps you busting out some dirt. I remember guys let me ride in a backhoe, dump truck and trackhoe. I was on a backhoe when he dropped a tree over the main power line. I was12 and scared to death.
That was some different music to start the vid this morning. What happened to Jerry the real dozer operator ? Those sandal Chris has on dont look like they are OSHA approved LOL.
You don't know how deep the top soil is till you take it off. It's not good to build on the top soil. Also it gives you something to use on the sides so you don't have to haul more dirt to slope the sides.
I'm sure there's a good reason why you can't level the cleared area and build directly on it versus adding dirt (good) and leveling it, especially under an industrial type structure? I can understand the need on a residential plot (landscaping). ;-)
Thank Matt for his service. Little man will always remember being on the equipment and helping build that pad. I like hearing you guys giving each other a hard time. That makes the day go by faster and the work fun. Aaron is a master at talking trash.
lol yes he is
Thanks Matt for your service. Axel is da man.
Good Afternoon Dirt Perfect
Still catching up on old videos, love it that little man Axel is there watching with excitement!
Good video again tell Aaron he does a good job with the camera thank him for me yall keep the good good work up it is looking good my friend be safe
Thanks Glenn

Thanks for watching
The kid was having lots of fun. Thank you Matt for your service Sir.
Thanks and yes Matt for sure
Looks to me that Axel is the only one who showed up to work. You guys didn’t even have gloves! I think he can teach y’all a thing or two!
Chris, welcome to the Midwest... servicemen are our heroes here!!!!!
Axel is a smart young man. With a bright future. God bless
I think Aaron found a new buddy in that little boy, great video. Kevin
Yes he did
Nice job on the vid. Fun to watch the machinery work in real time rather than time lapse.
Thanks
the kid will never forget the rides .my grandkids love riding on my equipment
I still remember the first time I got to ride in an excavator, very memorable even though I was very young.
Yup same here
Axl was smiling from start to finish, that is how memories are made, you all took time to show him.the ropes, knew day he may come and work for you Mike!!
You got some m3 (metre cube) of clay moved spread and compacted between you all, plenty laughs along the way too !!!
Great video guys , thank you for the video
Thanks for watching
Little man is awesome and y’all made a lasting memory that’s why l like y’all 💯% cool 😎👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Thats getting her done. For sure. Mike , good vid. And again. It is beautiful out your neck of the woods
Thanks Todd
Awesome Axle is going to remember that day for ever, maybe a new employee for the future. Thanks for your services Matt long may the farm stay in your families hands looks like for the near future anyway.

Such beautiful footage at the beginning! Love watching your videos!
Thanks still looking for some good help tho 😜
DP excellent dozer operator and that's no joke. Wished I was a kid again like axle you made his year there buddy. Thanks for your time in making a great vidja.
Thanks buddy
Letting Axle ride on one of the machines is just plain awesome!1 You may have just made an upcoming Dirt Man LOL good job!
Heah DP, nice to see you got that slacker Arron off that vibrating roller and actually working. No more lollygagging for him Y'all.
Crack that whip hee he he.
Just kidin', Y'all do a great job there.
Lol 👍
Good to see you Boss. You remind me of that old saying - be true to yourself
It's awesome that he's going to keep the family farm going too many of them are disappearing and going by way of corporate farming, we lost ours in 98, too many years of bad prices. Great video with the youngster supervising, someone has to look after you guy's! ;-)
Great video. Its cool to see a young kid so interested. U can tell he had lots of fun.
Thanks
Great videos and Axel is quick to character for a youngster. Always like your shenanigans with behind the scenes guy and all the guys you work with. Be Safe guys and stay virus free. 👍👍🇨🇦🐶❤
You guys do a fine job with a great sense of humor. You guys be safe out there. 👍☕️🍀
Thanks

Mike you really work hard to make your business succeed. Reminds me alot of my dad and myself. Full respect to you Mike.
Thanks appreciate that
I’ve been on a site for about a month with RAWSO Constructors watching them grade and testing compaction. Really amazing to see how much just a weeks worth of work does for a site starting from nothing.
Yup very true
Nothing quite as satisfying as that first strip of top soil getting peeled back like a sardine can lid
I think your videos would be even better if you had Banjos for background music when your workers speak! 😅😂😭🤣👍🇺🇸😊
Great video Mike as always. I think you need a new truck driver. The man behind the scene tries to do his best but you can't stay mad at him. I enjoy all your videos Mike I like how you explain everything have a great day
lol thanks Robert
The borrow pits never get returned to their original stature. Gotta rename them "stole hole". Lol Btw, how many Chris' we gotta remember now? Do we have more Mike's? Axle is a great equipment operator name. 👍

Aaron, you do know what goes around comes around.
I'm sure that will be good memories for him. That looked some efficient dirt moving great job. Stay safe
Your typically great work augmented buy an awesome customer/family. What a beautiful property!
Lookin good michael
I must say that I truly enjoy starting my day with a Dirt Perfect video. Stay classy DP
Thanks Eric
That's such a cool place. Man those shade trees N old barn is awsome. Thanks for sharing. Camera does grades no justice. Looked somewhat level after u stripped topsoil
Thanks and yes I agree
I would also put a bank barn in the area you dug the dirt out of 2 for one pad
Cup holders, need cup holders.......😁 The roller has come in handy for you as one looks back over the last year.
I remember getting my first ride in a dump truck when I was six or seven years old in a big Brigadier! I thought it was the biggest truck in the world back then and he taught me how to shift it!
Yup me to
You made it too efficient loading the trucks Mike. On the plus side, it gave TMBTS more time to do what he does best... TALK! 😉 Was the plan with putting Chris on the roller that his added -weight- muscle would provide more compaction? 😉
Lol
The first thing I notice was you had given Mr. Jerry the day off, he deserved it after the last job. The last two jobs were excellent!
Yes well deserved
Kind of crazy how small the bucket on that Volvo looks after watching @letsdig18’s channel. Nice video as always Mike.
K
@@DirtPerfect not a slight just an observation.
Talk about teamwok 110% efficiency at 12.58 and onwards
I enjoyed it
Thanks
Very beautiful land up there! Do y'all have the Kudzu Vines in Indiana that we have in Alabama, Mississippi and so on?
Great video, I'm sure he will remember that for life. I know I did when I got to ride a dozer at a young age.
Thanks
Looks good.
I can still remember my first ride in the cab of a dozer on the operator’s lap. As a matter of fact, it was just last week!
JK. I never been on a dozer with a cab. 🚜
Hi there you better teach the man behind the scenes operate the dozer he would be able to make a roller Costa
dirtperfect give the truck driver a shovel to dig the compactor out that will teach him ha ha ha
I thought I'd heard someone call where you're getting the dirt from a "Borrow" pile, so when will you return it? ;-)
I was just about to ask if there's gate latches that are operated (electrically, hydraulically) from the cab or are the manual?
I think it runs off air but I'm not a truck driver
Most of the time it’s air operated gate locks.
Amazing how close to grade you get the pad. Teaching the future heavy equipment operators.
that RED VOLVO seems to fit in ;) just saying
Agreed ! DP should look for a good Triaxle at the next auction.
Gotta ask a question. Do you ever have days where you're running the dozer and your hands just don't seem to work right? I was using my tractor (with a front loader) and for once I just didn't seem coordinated😄‼️ Probably like when man behind the scenes runs the dozer🤣🤣‼️
Lol no
Like the intro music
I got a ride 45 years ago, still remember it as if was yesterday.
Same here
Throw guys like Chris work when they don’t have any is good business. He will remember this and be willing to help you when you get in a jamb.
Must be hot out there, old DP has the front window closed!
lol yes it was
I have questions..... lol
Lol I thought you might
Personnel Dept assigned the big guy to the Dirt Packer.
lol
Arron with mike on the dozer it keeps him quite
No water added to help with compaction?
No
The building I’m doing is about that same size. Gonna do all steel 70’x120’ 20’ on the eves. Hope to add 25’ lean to on each side eventually and make it full 120’x120’
Getting help from India Mike? Are those flip flops osha approved? Lmao good job as usual
Lol he is a truck driver
Got my DP fix for the week !!!! Bet that young man couldn't sleep that nite from being on the equipment. Great job guys !!!
Yes he loved it
I remember riding the excavator across the pond when I was 3 with my dad when he was digging the ponds at there house, big equipment always awesome when your a young kid something you don’t forget
So wha do you typically fill the borrow pit in with it when you are done?
Stay tuned
You'll have to shout yourself a new biggger truck for christmas
You need to check the new guys beverages? Lol
MBTS: Chris is just nervous about all this International Fame you have brought to Him. He'll still be nervous tomorrow !
lol
Hope y'all have a blessed day
Thanks
Eight hours of boredom interspersed with moments of joy or sheer terror.
Ok thanks I think
Were you driving the dozer with one hand at the barrow pit?
Yup
Latch the gate??.. LOL.. :p
Good morning everyone
Good morning
you need an LD18 bucket and thumb......;)
lol why sorry don’t understand the comment
@@DirtPerfect Letsdig 18 designed a bucket and thumb for his new Volvo 160 they are now branded by the company making them.
I never caught the vids where you had problems with the the de walt. I had friends rave about it, finally bought one last fall. I thought I just had bad experience of a lemon.

At least you have an Inspector on this job even if the MBTS can so easily sway his opinion without any form of a bribe.
That was some different music to start the vid this morning. What happened to Jerry the real dozer operator ? Those sandal Chris has on dont look like they are OSHA approved LOL.
Lol thanks and he was rest after the last project
Is it dirt or is it soil? :)
Call it what you want I guess
Man that little D4G suffers pushing dirt.
🤔🤷♂️
@@DirtPerfect it seems like it was pushing to hard I have a smaller dozer here it's a td7g and it doesn't do that just thought it was pushing to hard.
Axle is cute kid, Aaron not so much.
Lol
That's how you knock them out. Enjoyed the "Perfect Aaron show" 😂
Thanks andy
Just thinking out loud here, if you’re putting 4ft of fill on, what is the benefit of stripping the top soil? I could understand if it were 2’+
You can't build on topsoil. It isn't stable.
You don't know how deep the top soil is till you take it off. It's not good to build on the top soil. Also it gives you something to use on the sides so you don't have to haul more dirt to slope the sides.
What are those bugs flying around at 24:14?
We call them corn flies
My apologies the Volvo I thought was kinda beat up looking wasn't yours, it was someone else's in another video
👍😁
I'm sure there's a good reason why you can't level the cleared area and build directly on it versus adding dirt (good) and leveling it, especially under an industrial type structure?
I can understand the need on a residential plot (landscaping). ;-)
Would be to low
O god Future Rock and Roll, Grunge, or Alternative Music Star.
Don Hanson nah, give the kid a break! He will be fine!
