One thing I remember about Chris's (LetsDig18) interview on your podcast is him saying how getting a haul truck changed their job opportunities and opened up avenues to jobs they wouldn't have been able to do before getting it. Hope that's the case for you as well. Anyway, Bubba Dumper is the perfect name for the truck, lol.
I’ll be extremely disappointed if you don’t put a traditional dirt perfect/logger wade diamond stack on it. But I would leave it straight piped.
0:03 if you fix the exhaust you should keep it straight piped so the engine has less backpressure but add a simple Catalysator- no sut filter or def fluid , no muffler, none of that shit - but a simple catalysator to save the bees (unironically thats important)
katalysator = catalytic converter
straight pipe all the way 💯
It’s cool seeing you drive past the farm that you bought later
Bubba Dump definitely need some exhaust work. I think you will tire real quick listening to the straight pipe when you operate it for a full day of hard work.
Looking forward to seeing the videos of it getting back into shape and putting in a hard days work.
Wayne Crews may not be that loud in the cab it sounds awesome as it is.
I've spent a lot of hours running tractors with straight pipes. The pipes need to be taller than your head, but that's same as muffler. Plus, there is something enjoyable about good sounding pipes.
We all know a straight pipe of that old diesel sounds sweet. But in the long run i feel it would get old real fast like a few hours. If you have buildings around its just going to bounce off them and echo and become even louder
Working brakes, new exhaust, new grill, and some green paint to match the 850J and it would look like a new truck!
9-1-1, what's your emergency? Yeah, this is Marge down at the Derby Market and there's some 40 year old bearded kid cuttin donuts in our parking lot with a big yellow dump truck! 😄
Lol
Mike I think that you have found one of those diamonds in the ruff. Once you do your thing in the shop it will give you some good years. I hope it pays for itself quickly. Looking forward to the repair videos and then the many job videos to come. Teach Jenna to drive it. It would be cool to see her on the job with you. Also she could do some videos from her perspective of your jobs also. Especially on any farm upgrades. The Dirty Perfect Family fixing the farm!👩🏼🌾👨🌾🎉🎊👍
Agree thanks
The rust under the front of the tray on the member is stone damage because you are missing the front mud flap on that side.
No sir try again
Keep Forest Dump straight pipe. Sounds good that way. God bless
Like to add my two cents worth to several other comments. Your diamond exhaust, straighten the corners of the hood and new grill, and a paint job and you will have a great looking truck. Think you did well on the purchase.
One heck of a buy. Definitely needs an updated exhaust system for the long haul. Needs a little love like you said but can see that it’s going to become a much needed addition to your overall fleet into your ever growing and expanding business. Here’s wishing you the best of expanding your self into a very prosperous future for you and your family and friends.
If you treat this old boy the way you do the rest of your fleet. It's going to cuddle up and give you many years of good service. It looks like it sat outside most of it life . A roof over it's cab might be just the thing for it in its latter years LOL Looks like a diamond in the rough. Good luck and congrats
I like the intro of your 6 wheel go cart called Bubba-Dumper, going around the track! lol You get paid to play with heavy equipment, what a dream job!! Take care
A nice 220 would compliment that tasty haul truck . Volvo rocks .
I'd check the breathers on the front axle incase there blocked pressurising pushing oil out seals thinking that both seals leaking together at same time 🤔
Gee, I seem to remember someone who shall remain nameless stating he'd never need or buy a field truck.
My ooh my how things change.
Could it be the influence of someone named Chris ?
Is Bubba Dump gonna get a Puuurty paint job like his.
Will Captain Kleeman manage to knock off a mirror first ?
These are questions inquiring minds want / have to ask.
Stay tuned till 6 pm Mrs. Dirt Perfect nightly news Channel where we should see a "rest of the story" Paul Harvey segment 😀
I worked for a quarry in the late 1990s, each winter. The owner bought four new Volvo haul trucks just like yours. He was buying one each Dec. IRC they where right around $125K each new. He liked them so much he still is running those same trucks today. They have over 30,000 hours on them now. About every ten years or so he completely rebuilds them down to the bare frame. He says it costs him around $50K to do that but it is way cheaper than buying new with all of the computer issues. Interesting thing is he has to re-floor them every 4-5 years. The limestone rock wears them out. IRC the floor is 3/4 thick plate. Remember these trucks average 3-4 loads an hour all year long.
Mike I think you will be more than happy with this new purchase. It will open up some new doors for additional business. Lt. Dan is a neat project truck but it really was not made for heavy work day in and day out. These Volvo haul trucks are built for that job. My son has two Deere haul trucks and I think the Volvos are a little more dependable.
computers and DEF!
Newer vehicles suck :/
Now that is what you call a Truck. Throw some Green Paint on it and it will Match the Mack and Lt Dan.
I think with a little TLC and upcoming projects the new Volvo will become a valuable asset to for fleet on larger projects especially on pond/lake builds where you won't have to push as much with the 850's and they can be used foe leveling out and rough grading, which will hopefully improve production ! We all know that time is Money ! 😎
Looks pretty decent 👌
Being a farm boy, I always thought one of those would be cool with a grain cart put on the back
1. Keep the straight pipe, with a flapper.
2. Bubba Dump. No -er.
3. Lt. Dan needs titanium legs to run.
Excellent buy for your operation.
A little TLC. I bet your subscribers could find you a used hood and grille in better shape.
Glad Lt. Dan isn't going anywhere.
For me personally, I like a straight piped diesel. From what you've done to your other trucks, I think you do too. Just to keep in line with the others, I think you need to fab up one of your diamond stacks for Bubba Dumper when you rework the exhaust. Also, that vacant spot where the radio and the speaker used to be would be the perfect spot to put in a CB radio with an external speaker. Not expensive to do and would be a big plus for working with the others on a site. No more grasping for a hand-held and worrying about the batteries. Other than a good paint job to take care of the rust and make Bubba a sharp boy, it appears that you've got yourself a good truck there. Looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.
I think he would be able to do gmrs radio instead of cb and still be able to communicate with the handheld units. CB is good but then you'd have to put a CB on each piece of equipment.
Nice addition to fleet. I got to run a 35 ton for couple loads in Canada logging camp, amazing tool. Agility for the size and capacity was impressive. Big piece to work on, should make some good content for us to watch
(16:00) Lt. Dan, don't worry. "Elephant" was just a figure of speech. You are still loved and will be able to come out from hiding under the blanket very soon.
YES!! You KNOW you did good with this monster! And when the wife is already naming it, it has a home. You will oil it, grease, and love it just like you do all your other XL children! Good purchase!
I wouldn’t want to to spend more than 2 hours in a truck sounding like that personally.
It’s a long day as it is in a dump truck as you know too well Mike so having a decent sound system and the opportunity to hear it over the constant scream of an exhaust and or drone of an engine can certainly make it that bit easier 👍🏼
Never did get the American approach of wanting a wall of black smoke and noise coming from a truck or equipment when it can be avoided 🤷🏻♂️
Cool for about 10 minutes then unpractical from there on in 🤨
LT Dan can go places that haul truck can’t.
That haul truck can go where LT Dan can’t go.
All bases covered horses for courses 👍🏼
I love the idea of Lt. Dan being a show truck ❤️
aside from the issues that you have said, it's a clean truck and it'll do the work you want it to do. Also, those old volvo trucks run strong!
Bubba Dump made me chuckle. Thanks Mrs. DP!
I love old volvo equipment their engines are superb 👌 that unit you have is sounds and looks to be the 13ltr TD13KF they was 327hp to 425hp the only difference was fuel pump and on the 425hp injectors they are pretty much bullet proof even the 9.6ltr or td10KF engine which is at 256hp. Brakes you said it yourself simple to fix air over hydraulic and she is ready to work I'd do the wheel seals before it does any serious heavy work but yeah can wait. And Lt Dan will be a awesome bit of kit when finished and the best dump truck you have used with its set up with the lift axle and all wheel drive
I agree with you, the wheel seals are the weakness of these haul trucks
Congrats on the new haul truck. Sounds like your business is going well. You have a great group of friends/employees/family/costumers…
Love the name…
Even though everything has went thru the roof over the past year that doesn't seem to be keeping people from building around where I live in NC.
Thanks
Mrs Dirt Perfect. “ you spent how much” bet the fireworks were a joy to behold. 💥
I wish I was closer to you. I would fix those front side panels and grill no problem. Put a muffler on it. Listening to that thing roar all day will wear you out. It's not a hot rod.
I see a lot of great videos in our future! The truck is freaking awesome and the name is even better! Bubba Dumper was genius #mrsdirtperfect
Great video Michael
I don’t know why but watching you retool makes me feel like I’m retooling and expanding my fleet to, feels so right thanks for getting me excited this morning and good luck.
Once you get bugs worked out send it up to Clint for wheel seals and paint job
“Cookies” around the market parking lot…, still haven’t moved on from high school late night antics…, hahaha…! Loved it…,
Looking forward to the video(s) of the this “fix-up” and pressed into service.
Thank you sir.
P.S., even if you get a larger excavator…, never get rid of the JD120…, hell ya..! “Bubba-Dumper” before any work is done on it get the name painted on it…
Q: What do you call an activity that costs far too much money and takes far too much time? A: A hobby.
The idea of Lt. Dan being a show truck is fine if you are just a hobbyist, but keep in mind you are running a business. It's nice for your trucks to look shiny and cool, but if they are not making money for you, they are just an expense.
I see truckers make this mistake all the time. They want a shiny new truck with a fancy paint job, big dual exhausts, long hood, chrome on everything and all the bells and whistles, but forget that a truck is first and foremost a tool for doing a job. A fancy truck does not get more for pulling a load than a plain truck.
That is fine if LT Dan is a hobby and costs more money than it makes, IF DP can afford it and thats what he wants. If he was worried about putting it to work to make money to pay for it, Then it would already be out working. I agree with you though about a bunch of guys wanting to look good more then actually having a truck that makes money...
Depends on how loud it is if it’s loud I’d put a muffler on it just in case it’s on a job that the noise would upset people especially the client paying you lol 😂 looks like it could be a good truck definitely gonna haul a bunch more dirt then your dump truck just not on a highway lol thanks for sharing buddy
The last 30 seconds of the video says it all! Mrs. DP accepted the new truck... you're not banished to the shop on a cot and sleeping bag! Hahahaha..... All things considered, it looks like a good rig, Mike, and we know you have the ability to fix the gremlins.
My vote is, get rid of that `straight` exhaust and put a muffler back on / in it. Running that throaty exhaust all day can and will get tiring pretty quick, in my opinion, of course.
If this one ends up as good looking as Chris' then you'll have another great Volvo Hauler.
One thing I do know for sure, Volvo makes great engines that will run and run for a loooong time.
I'm with Wayne. Love a straight pipe but that might be a lot to listen to running the truck long hours. Looks like a good buy DP!
Saw Bubba Dumper (Dump) on Mrs DP first, but wasn’t named yet. Love the open pipe sound of both the Mack and Bubba.
Well now Mike Simons, I must admit when I had found out that you had won the bid on this I was kind of disappointed from what you had said in the past oh, you had considered one of these and decided to go the Lieutenant Dan route kind of an in-between a Haul truck and a dump truck. So I was bummed out when I had heard that you had won the bid on this I had tears for Lieutenant Dan. So after this video I feel better about the situation I am excited about the Haul truck also not as much as Lieutenant Dan it is there. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall when you told Jenna or if you did not tell her when you showed it to her, hope there is a video to follow on this LOL. I very much enjoy the straight pipes on it I hope it stays that way you might have to buy a pair of earmuffs for the driver. One thing I would like you to put on your to-do list for the Haul truck is 2 sand the black part of the hood to get most of the rust off and then put a rust preventative on it and painted the original black.
Is it road legal in your state ?
Lt. Dan will be a lot more fuel efficient on the road. The perfect mixed application truck to haul roadbase from the quarry, over the road, into the bush.
No
Looks like a pretty good truck. About the exhaust, by the end of a shift or two the operator will beg for a muffler lol. Great video thanks for sharing!!
bubba dump fits it! Well played Mrs. DIrt!
As far as I see Bubba dumper it's a great buy but the real deal if you will is your Wife. What a trooper and Sweet heat, seeing her give the truck it's new name made me laugh so hard as she nailed it, Big time! Bubba does need a muffler simply because most of your customers I think would appreciate it soooo much.. gotta keep the customer happy 😁 .
Congratulations to y’all for growing your business-I really enjoy witnessing prosperity in motion. Of, course, I would be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge the fantastic people who join you in your efforts, who contribute to your channel and your business. Successful business owners are always surrounded by successful, skilled, and productive people. Well done, and I look forward to seeing what other blessing are in your future. Cheers! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✌🏻
Lt. Dan has one thing that beats the a30c, Lt. Dan is road legal.
Shucks, Letsdig18 drove his uncle's haul truck down county roads, through the middle of a town and down more roads. Didn't appear to be any issues. Maybe NC permits it.
@@LatitudeSky He did and it was a fun video, but he said that what he was doing wasn't legal and it was supposed to be hauled like DP did with his haul truck.
For some reason DOT never wants to let the equipment without steer axles be legal on the roads.
Not being legal doesn't mean they can't be on roads, here in this province in Canada there is additional rules like under a certain speed, slow moving vehicle signs and other things but it can still move loads on the road, you wouldn't want to since the pavement would grind off those tires in no time.
@@LatitudeSky you can drive LD18's A25 unloaded on the road. This A30 will exceed permissible axle weight on the front axle, unloaded.
My vote is for the straight pipe. BUT…..you should put a stack on it like the one in the red dump truck.
Well,you keep getting bigger, and heavier equipment, gonna half to upgrade your securement devices, like 4 ,1/2inch chains,and 4,5/8 binders,,that way you don't temp the ire of Officer Hoover!! That was my set-up with an assortment of 3/8 chains and binders,never had a problem with DOT inspectors on load securement,,Bubba Dumper found itself a new,good home!!😎😎😎
Congrats on the truck looks like a good one. My vote is for a new muffler and a new mounting bracket.
Ya gonna paint it? New decals? What would Chris do 😂🤣😂🤣
No
@@DirtPerfect LOL. I knew better. Just pulling your chain. Keep on digging !!! Enjoy your videos
Only doing this to help your analytics - What about Lt. Dan? LOVE Bubba Dumper!
Bravo for you DP! Working toward and realizing the dream.
Can't wait to see it in action, I'm sure you already have a job planned for it! ✌🏼😊🇺🇸 You gonna name it The Gump truck?
Congratulations!
Have been so keen for this video. It's going to great seeing this on your future jobs
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Matt
I take it the Ohio river is up? Lots of water on the road home!!! “Bubba Dumper” is a good name for him!! I think you did good on the purchase! All he needs is some TLC and he’ll be find. Matt, nice shots of DP rolling on by!! Your content is always on point!
Yup
@@DirtPerfect
So you know what the high water means? Us folks here in south Louisiana are gonna see some high levels in the mighty Mississippi! I’m gonna step out on a limb and say they gonna open the Bonnet Carre spillway locks!! If gets close to flooding New Orleans, they’ll open Atchafalaya spillway as well!
You got a good deal on that truck, those are very expensive, she runs great, if their maintenance is done regularly, they will run forever, I’m sure you will take good care of her, I’m sure Mike😎😎👍👍👍🍮🍮🍮☀️☀️☀️
👍🏼 Thank you for your time and talent! Awesome find at auction!👍🏼
Thanks
You are getting so many machines that soon you will find yourself a manager keeping other people working. Hope you can put together a good crew.
Hope not been there done that
good looking unit sure will move dirt big time. good to see the comeing vids when working and new stuff coming. cheers guys.
Looks like a good looking truck hope you have good luck with it
Nice to see the matching tyres on the axles…
Congratulations on the haul truck. Looks like you found a pretty good one.
Love her choice of the name
Looking forward to the repair videos.
So a trailer to haul the gaul truck pulled by Lt. Dan! Then use both to haul materials!!!
Love the sound of that Mack !
Hope you get it running / working ready soon, Farmer Chris got a pond to fill
Bubba Dumper lol! Was gonna say call it Bubba, but that is way better. Gonna be a awesome truck when you get the kinks worked out. Never get tired of hearing the Puppy Dog working. Best Mack ever.
Driving through the water that was awesome
Thanks Mike. HI GRANDMA! From NW Iowa
Congratulations on the truck. Great trucks.
engine break in the mack sounded phenomenal
Thanks
Love the Volvo wish I wasn't so far away love to see it in person good luck with it man!
Awesome. Congratulations!
I bet the neighbors glance up & say "looks like a new toy"
Looks great, can't wait to see the 120 toil to fill it up!
If it was a Florida truck... disconnected heating seems perfectly reasonable to reduce potential maintenance.
I love the 120!
it definetly needs you signature square tube stack.
Ur an inspiration sir ! Ur the reason why I keep making videos, I enjoy watching ur videos !
Great find! A Bubba Dumper. Gotta love it. Can't wait to see it haul.
Love the new Boat 24:00 added to the fleet. Looks like a keeper.
That was an excellent purchase. Please ensure that it works for its keeps.
Greetings from No VT - Awesome find. Should be a great addition to the DP fleet. Bubba Dumper is perfect, smart wife!
That’s a great looking dump truck for its age . Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Paint it green, and it will be fine!
Great buy can't wait to see it in action.
It fits in with all your other trucks it sounds great
I’m so glad to hear you’re keeping Lt. Dan, he’s going to be awesome too!
Keep that thing straight pipped!!!!! That’s what would get done to it in south Ga 😂 🤣. Maybe fix them welds up a bit, but it sounds damn good the way it is now. Maybe go with a big chrome straight pipe, got to have some eye candy on her.
Suggestion put led bar where your spot lights are now also one on top of the bumper /fuel tank
