- I have to lower the gravely walk behind tractor down a drop off to reach an abandoned beach. But I'm not sure if it will run or be able to handle what's coming next.

A video everyday?!?! Thank god!!!! These videos are amazing Stan! Seriously I look forward to them!!!
just this week and then its back to the regular schedule.
@@Dirtmonkey I'll take it!!
Frankie’s contraption reminds me a lot of the D R power wagon that was always advertised in the back of Popular Mechanics along side the Rokon motorcycle.
Thats definately a frankie machine
Don’t forget the lock pick gun
Gravely has always been a top notch piece of equipment, great video!!!!
Couldn't agree more!
Thank you for another awesome video appreciate all the hard work you put into these videos god bless
Thanks for watching! God bless and Go get em!
All I can say is This looks like fun! Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing. Be careful and God bless.
Definitely was! But thanks dude & you too
Damn having all that stuff sitting outside rusting kills me.
I'm with you- I just need a massive pole barn to store everything inside.
@@Dirtmonkey as soon as you build one you will fill it and still have stuff outside
@@Dirtmonkey Or a bunch of tarps and adjustable bungee traps.
An electric version of this would be amazing.
Been waiting for this!!!!! Love this machine! Thanks for another awesome video!
Hope you enjoy it!
@@Dirtmonkey i will
Just getting back to watching your awesome videos after being on on holiday. Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care and hope you are good and hope your crew and family are doing well.
Welcome back!
@@Dirtmonkey Thank you bud. Hope you are doing well and hope your family and crew are doing well 👍🏻
Can see Frankie spending time down at the river in his spare time. I remember him finding a bunch of old lures when you cleaned out and old barn.
That would be Frankie!!
You are a good man Stanley ….. and I hope to watch along on your clearing project. Best of luck, my northern friend!
Thanks brotha stoked to have ya here 👊
@@Dirtmonkey I appreciate you, and your videos, Stanley ….. be well and all the best!!
I had the 1965 version of that machine. We kept it running for about 40 years. With the front guard removed, I routinely cut down 3" diameter trees. I could have done every task on your project with my 1965 machine and the 36" mower. Attachment included a 36" or a 48" mower, a rorotiller, a rotary plow, a sycle bar, snow plow, a ride behind sulky. Electric start and dual wheels were options that were available but that we did not have.
My dad had the 1948 version with the 36” rotary deck, a sycle bar, rotary plow, snow plow, sulky and a cart. Bought it used around 55. Replaced it with a brand new 1975 Gravely 812. I didn’t realize that they had gone back to the 2 wheel tractors, thought they only made commercial mowers.
I had its predecessor of predecessors, the 1967 Ariens Rotary mower, model 35-10m. It attached to the 1965-1974 Ariens Sno-thro back end. I put a Predator 212 on it. The thing was a beast. It shredded leaves to oblivion, too the point it made a nice smell, never knew shredded leaves gave off an aroma, it cut grass with professional quality and it could go into 3 foot tall brush and had no issues taking that out. That thing was a beast. I sold it to a fellow who was specifically going to use it for brush. No issues their, it was a tank. This new line of Gravely's with attachments made by Ariens was based off that original Trac-Team line. Awesome equipment.
Was wondering what you were doing with that other property. Looking forward to daily content. Thanks for bringing us along Stan.
Thanks for being here 😁
Andrew Cammarata would totally go on the boat across the lake.
I have a cool way of getting it down there.
Love the videos Stan! Great guy and love watching the stuff you do all the time
I appreciate that!
Hope you had a great day stan! Just got home from a long day of cutting grass! Keep up the great work! Stay safe!
Sounds like you had a long satisfying day. Those are the good ones.
Love in the video everyday something about your content is relaxing when watch it hoping this go be the new norm daily videos. Keep up the great work an god bless
not sure I can do daily uploads. Thats a tough order to fill.
I just bought myself a efco brush cutting weed wip on Saturday and got a brush blade for it today I absolutely love it its very light and has a 40cc 2 hp motor. I can't wait to see the fun in the upcoming videos
Sounds like you've got yourself a pretty cool new unit!
Great video keep up the great work 💯💪
Thank you! Will do!
Hey Stan, what’s goin on , i am whooped, i ha four lanes today, and it may not sound like a lot, but i had to finish my mowing. In the rain, and before that, it was super hot, full sun beatin down on ya, and ungodly humid. But, my EGO 21 inch self propelled lawn mower excelled at the job, and the string trimmer and blower, i tell you what, that commercial series blower is so powerful, the grass and dirt build up on the sidewalk got ripped off oh the blower and i only had it on setting three lol. Today was lawn day for me, but tomorrow for sure i will go to the farm and help people load more of their purchases like the tractors and i think the open guy is coming to get the 2 ton ditch witch. That baby is heavy, it tipped the front end loader on it’s front wheels like nothing, but e will get it all done, the job is never done. And then this weekend was really nice, we had the auction, i helped with traffic control i think i told ya, and then after most for he stuff was sold off, i helped load stuff and like it told ya, got some good tips.for dinner tonight, we are having chicken Frances.well my friend, you have a great night, god bless and go get em, and make sure you whole crew and family are having fun along the way. We all need some fun every now n then. Have a great night, your buddy, Alexander costa
Looks like the local wildlife appreciate the overgrown wild lakeshore.
I think they actually like what I have done better. I have given them a canopy and cover but access to the lake and room to roam.
Sounds great Stan. Can’t wait for a week long marathon of videos.
Appreciate it man!! Thanks for tagging along
Definitely has the most diverse and balls to the wall content!
I like to keeps things as interesting as possible.👊
This is really great seeing every step.
GOD bless Stan Frankie is a blessing
Frankie is the real deal!
flippin handy little unit!!!!
Can tell you take care of your equipment lol build a big barn too store the rust I mean equipment
thanks for the great video.-looks like you have quite a project.
Indeed! Thanks for tagging along
Boy, watching you do all that work makes me thirsty, think i'm going to have a beer. I think you should clear the whole property you have and start fresh. Have fun
I plan on cutting as much as that machine will let me.
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this video 💪🏼
Love to hear it 👊
would be fun to see a herd of goats going after one of these brush projects! probably takes some time but would make for a cool video!
I bet a herd of goats would clean that mess up easy.
Love the videos
Thanks Ian!
I hope you have plenty of those trimmer lines for your DR. I think you might need them. A video every day? That is great! I love to learn. Thank you. 😊🙏
The DR will get parked shortly and the gravely will be taking over very soon.
I don’t know if they have it up where you are but for small engines, VP racing fuel. 50:1 and 4 cycle. I called the engineers up after watching your video on how long gas lasts and they promised VP is good for 4 years in its original can and 2 years in the gas tank of whatever you have. I use it on all of my small
Engines. I buy it 5 gallons at a time to save money. It is higher octane so saws and such run better. They also have a can of stuff called fix it fuel. Drain your old gas and get it to run on the fix it fuel and it’s worked wonders for my equipment. God bless!
I have seen that stuff but neer tried it. Its good stuff huh?
@@Dirtmonkey Ive used it continuously for about 4 years. The problem with it is the price. 5 gallons is about $75. But, they keep my maintenance down drastically. Try the fix a fuel first and see what it does.
Your weedeater on wheels is on tough machine
😁👍👍
Can't wait to see your next video.. Durham England out 👏👏
The next video gets hairy
Awesome video!!!! Yahhhhh!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi I watch your video everyday tell the team I said hi and I watch there video everyday I love you guys I love the video it is Hanley Glowka
Gotcha you’re awesome Hanley! 👊
I've never seen anything like this before it's great.
Glad your enjoying it- tomorrow it starts getting even more fun!
You need a big shop to keep that equipment in . You can tell people with money. 🤣🤯
Daaaang that closeup of a dirt monkey forearm had you looking like a buff beast Stan!
I'm looking forward to seeing your videos! I noticed one thing you did that you posted warnings about, you didn't secure your equipment on the trailer before hitting the road! Man, Stanley! Practice what you preach. No, really, I love watching your videos. I'm not "trolling" you. Don't hate me for that. I do wish you good luck and safety on this project. I want to see that Gravely in action! Should be better than the walk-behind DR trimmer. Just don't sink it in the lake! Thanks for the video! God bless you, too.
I was just going around the block for that scene but very good eye on that. I didn't think many people would notice. luckily it was a very short run😉
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
WOO! Video every day this week....it's Dirtmonkey week y'all! LOL, looking forward to this. Thanks, Stan!
Hehe
Sounds like a plan. Good video.
Thanks Mike 👍
I miss the original dr equipment from the past field mowers professional tillers etc .those old machines was tough as nails and very strong
Me too. Me too
I just bought on older DR brush mower, the thing is a monster.
Your a real piece of work,,,keep up your Schrod
Thanks!👊
Ferris makes a heavy duty flail mower, but that may be only in England or Europe.
I know altoz makes a beast of one.
@@Dirtmonkey They may, but it is not listed on their web site.
Stan, have you ever used gasoline stabilizer? I bought a new lawnmower about three years ago, and every year, in the spring, I was taking the carburetor off of the mover, and cleaning all of the old fuel out of it. Since I've used a product called STA-BIL, fuel stabilizer, I haven't had this issue.
I'm thinking having this on hand might save you frustrations when you're ready to fire up equipment. The bottle I bought will last a long time, and I think I paid between 9.00- and 10.00 dollars a bottle at The Home Depot.
Normally I do use stabilizer but not this time around.
I enjoy watch'n yo videos, because we have the same first name, know what I mean Stan da man
Oooh another stan the man in the house 👊👊👊
Nothing like the orginal gravely!!!get a old one and compare the two
Oooh may need to
Good Evening. How the day going? Have a great week. Lemon sparking water today.
Having a wonderful day out here today! Mostly coffee for me
Stan I would guess the winch motor burnt up from the bad wires or not getting current through the corroded wires if you said the battery’s charged around here they rent goats out to clear areas like yours put up temporary fences and let them eat
Thats an amazing idea! That would be fun to see!
Thanks Stan, I can't wait!
Appreciate it!
Can't wait till tomorrow!
Its one a day but just this week, then its back to Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
These type of brush mowers are great to get into areas you don't know before you take more expensive equipment into the area
wait till you see what this thing can tackle.
All this equipment gives me more respect for the early settlers who did all this work by hand.
Would be nice if you had a pontoon boat you can just bring stuff over on it
here to help
Thanks Nash!
Great video bro 👍
Glad you enjoyed
Starting to remind me if Derek Beiri over at Vice Grip Garage. "Those blades are horrible, they definitely need sharpened" then proceeds to load it and run it like you never even looked at the blades.
they were good enough
Out of everything hitting wasps SUCKS the most... Especially when your seat belted in to a open cab skid steer or any equipment you can't get out of quick That doesn't have a sealed cab
Dude that is the WORST
Stan I hope you checked yourself when you got home or to the top of the hill because you’re gonna be covered in ticks. 👀👀😎😎☠️☠️👀👀
I thought so but didn't have a single one! amazing.
What is your favorite brand of skid steer and why
I like ASV for how it climbs hills, Cat for how smooth it is and the swing up door on the kubota. bits and pieces of all 3
Cat
@@Dirtmonkey imagine if you could combine all 3 of those.
I should and make my own "Dirt Monkey" ultimate skid steer!😂👊
Yes!!! I can' wait to see this. What time is over there? It is 9am Tuesday morning here in Brisbane, Australia. Its the last day of winter which is great becasue I am so excited and pumped for sping. We don't really get winter here in spring, not even frosts. I have been mowing my lawn like once a fortnight still. Definetly no snow ploughing where I am haha
Anyways I love your videos Stan and I was just wondering what camera, microphone and tripod you use? Because your videos are amazing to watch and I really appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these quality videos. Have a great day and keep safe.
Cheers
Daniel
Hi Daniel, I use a go pro 7 on 4k. I like that camera the best of any I have used. The 7 is unique in that you can plug it in and charge the battery while the camera is running and recording. the 8 can't do that.
@@Dirtmonkey I see, I might look at getting one. Do tou use a microphone at all?
just the microphone that is built into the camera
Why didn't you make another tubing to side into that one 4 hitch pins and clips but covered with rubber tires so you wouldn't scar the bark
Better get it done now. It will be too cold in another couple weeks lol.
True! Hope you’re wrong though
Hey man I know that little one seems slow but that Dr would eat that hill alive 😜 just like the tortoise and the hare
Hey Stan, what ever happend to that 45degree back yard the you guys were gonna make flat and build a retaining wall for. I was looking foward to seeing that.😞😞
the wall turned out to be almost 11 foot tall. It took longer than expected and we are just wrapping that up. Plus they added a patio- so that series will finally be wrapped up for you guys.
@@Dirtmonkey Great...I can't wait to see that . You guys do great work and I can tell you take great pride in your projects. I will be waiting😄😄👍🤸♀️
It would be great if he wrote a book.
Well there's a thought...maybe when I can't move my body anymore😉
Marlboro used to have all kinds of stuff that you could trade "miles" from the side of the cigarette packs.
I think I remember that
Surprised you haven't reviewed a Honda HHT35s, one of those with a flat steel blade is near unstoppable in grass.
Take a skid steer and make some switchbacks to get to the beach.
I can't disturb the soil on the bluff
I got your back brother!!!!! I wont let them get ya
you are legend!👊
man gravley"s have gotten better dad has an old 69 gravley setup
this thing is a brute!
Just to throw this out there, how about you put out a review on the Altoz tsx-561 stand on mower I'd like to hear what you have to say about this mower?
You should make a discord server
Sort of like other you tubers are doing
I never heard of that- what is it??
Thanks!
You need a stihl Km131r with attachments and blades of several kind
Ooh 🤔
Please can some one make an adapter for the old attachments 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🙏👍👍👍
Was wondering if you checked the oil on those two machines ?
yep- both were a-ok!👍😀
I see that Murphy has spoken
always. its his laws after all.
So why is the equipment left outside like that to rot? Just wondering why you don’t have a nice steel building for your equipment.
overhead and space. I don't have the space and don't want the excess overhead
@@Dirtmonkey understand, I thought at one time I saw large land behind the business. I just felt bad for the equipment, LOL.
my old l model gravelys would pull that tree out without flinching
wait till you see what I throw at this thing.
Stan - where can I find the retaining wall blocks you all use? Is there a specific name to them...Versa Lock? I'm putting in a retaining wall for our inground pool...approximately 60ft in length and 3-4ft tall. Watch and enjoy ALL your videos from lower Alabama "Gulf of Mexico"! I've learned so much and you've encouraged me to do it myself. Thanks!
we use Versa-Lok standard units but they are pretty much out of stock almost everywhere. We have to place our orders 3-4 weeks ahead of time to get materials.
Good video, how do you keep those Milwaukee safety glasses from fogging up? Thanks for sharing.
I don't- they fog but I rub them off.
I think you should keep that Gravely at my house when you aren’t using it, I take care of it
Hahaha 👍
I was wondering if you treat your gas with a fuel stabilizer? I use Sta-Bil if I'm not using something often. You definitely got your work cut out for you. You have two unique types of equipment that are each suited for what they're designed to do. See you tomorrow Stan.
normally I do treat them but not this time.
Hey Stan cool video! What happened to the wall from a few weeks ago?
just wrapped it up so a video will be coming soon!
@@Dirtmonkey awsome! Thanks!
Hi Stanley are you gonna spray some off bug spray on your pants legs to keep ticks off be safe out there
Try to but I always end up picking em off me either way!
As with other comments. Can't ever see leaving my expensive equipment outside just to weather it much quicker. Not to mention quickening the rotting of seals/rust, etc. The garage looks empty...stickem in there and take care of them.
Use your skid steer and cut a zigzag trail/path down....
Simple.....
The county doesn't allow you to disturb the bluff zone.
i assume the end result will eventually be a video of you cutting a road to the bottom ? =D
thats coming up in a different video series.
Why is so much equipment left outside? Just a lack of shed space?
yep- lack of space.
Have you ever thought about doing maintenance on your blades n what not? Blades wouldn't be so bad if you sharpened them before every big mow day.
I do maintenance on them- but these were ok to start with. Not great but not bad
skid steer brush cutter?
That would be awesome- but not do-able. Tomorrow you'll see
What are you using for a camera holder ? A mono pod poked in the ground?
Why in the freaking hell on earth don't you use ethanol free gas for all your small engine Equipment ??? Safe your hassle and let's do it bro. FYI love your videos. I am back at clearing my own property while getting toasted in the Florida oven LOL.
I do whenever possible I hate ethanol- sorry farmers. Corn gas sucks IMO. I appreciate farmers but hate corn gas
@@Dirtmonkey it is not the farmers fault. Same with DEF just because it's mainly urea it is not the farmers fault that they supply it. The only one we can blame is Government because they force everyone to accept it.
Hey, what happened to the corner of the shed? Oh yeah just watched that video again today. 😆 joking aside love all of the content you put out and the whole crew.
you had to remind me- hahaha😂
Excedingly complicated/awkward control setup but im sure it mows good.
I hate leaving equipment outside
me to- wish i had a much bigger shed
Just hope u show finish project. U always show us the start of a job, but never show us the end of it.
Well most jobs.
You will be getting a daily update till the very end which is on Friday. I promise.
