Stan I must say that you and your crew do some of the greatest quality work I have ever seen! It’s great to watch as you rip out all of the garbage without missing a single bit! It is such a satisfying process to watch!
Funny story, after watching the first video of this job where you got stuck, I got an SSV65 stuck GOOD. Almost rolled it too. Long story short, I was operating above a retaining wall and ship went sideways. Wall sucked me right in. Luckily someone with bigger equipment offered to bail me out. That's always a humbling feeling for sure.
I’ve been in situations as Alex is in. Oh to be young and invincible again lol. He needs to give it time or he’ll end up like me, barely able to move. The monkey claw seems to work out pretty well. I’ll kick back and wait on the last video of this project. Keep up the good work !
Take care of that body Alex. You only get one. Thank God for the helpful older guys I have come across and have helped me building my business and being good people. I could never do it without their help
I love your happy go lucky friendliness. You make the world a better place. With all the craziness in the world it is great to see someone who is outwardly friendly and gets things done with a smile on his face. It’s infectious.
With the kubota strainer, when you insert the nozzle, funnel, or whatever, make sure that you don’t punch out the bottom. The pieces from the filter collect in the tank, and then eventually clog the fuel system. We just got our mini ex back from the dealer for that problem
You should get one of those cat skid loaders with the remote so you can be outside of the skid loader and still run it or you should get a bob cat tool cat
I can relate to what Alex was saying about not wanting to just stand around and point but I really like how you guys handled that situation. Better than learning the hard way like some of us. You care about all the employees and it shows. It was great to see the guy next door helping you out and that was a nice trailer setup he has.
I'm glad that you clarified the situation with Alex. I couldn't imagine one of your star team members getting booted by a customer. The Monkey Claw seems to be a very useful attachment. The upper claws remind me of something made to inflict destruction on remote control robots in a competition. In my opinion, it's as capable as the machine behind it. Definitely a thumbs up from me...
Stan, love your ethics in working with potential competitors. You all come out better cooperating and helping if needed. Continue to be impressed with what can be accomplished with a skid steer in the hands of a skilled operator. Good job! Nick, North West Farmer
Hope Alex's arm is getting better. Amazing work and thanks for sharing this with us take care Edited that monkey claw is amazing like you say the only thing I would change is the hoses
I live in Minnesota and don't recall it being -40F. Either the ambient temp sensor is bad, or there is a special world climate surrounding your truck but only near that sensor.
It’s fun to watch you all run the skid steers I got my first on in 2014 and I have been using from time to time doing small side jobs. I’m planning on going full in next year in may.
I wonder what the main reason is for tearing out a pool? obviously in Minnesota we only get 3-4 months of outdoor pool activity before the snow starts flying again.
All my trucks are fully loaded! Comfort is a must, I use everyday I want to have a office on wheels but we all gotta start somewhere my first trucks weren't fully loaded! But after years of hard work is nice to hop into something comfy after a long day!
Also having a bad sensor like that at least in bmws will cause the ac not not work correctly. The car thinks it’s crazy cold and will only run the ac for a short period of time and shut it down. Giving the impression of short cycling.
@@FishFind3000 fords aren't that smart with the ac. I did have a bad ecm coolant sensor reading -40 all the time when I bought it. It wouldn't run when warm because it was running way to rich thinking it was cold.
A GMC work truck package and the Denali have the same powertrain. Same with Ford or Ram. The cabs just get fancier the more money you spend. My Chevy High Country pulls my dump trailer or skid steer just fine.
I would shut my entire business down in a heartbeat, and move to come work for you brother. I love the diversity of your projects. I’m stuck in a cycle of brush and land clearing and gravel driveways. It’s the biggest demand in this area for us. I love retaining walls and paver patios etc etc....basically hardscaping. But not enough money in the area for a huge demand for it and the logistics to get the materials here are normally a extra cost that turns potential customers away from having it done. Not too mention me and the wife has been talking for two years about moving somewhere new. Lol anyways lots of love and respect to you, your crew and family!
To answer your question about using fancy trucks for work, yep, I do! Lol. I use my Lexus RX350 to haul my mowers and blowers etc. the small stuff goes in the back and the big stuff goes on my trailer. Works out pretty well honestly. Plus I get all kinds of looks from not being “normal” lol
I like the monkey claw. I think it be good to dig up trees with. Like the Kubota skid steer wish I had a track machine myself. Have a great day be safe.
Stan, the reason I watch you’re channel is because you are not a Douce and you hire men who are also not Douce bags. Seeing what you can do with what you have, with the quality you provide constantly inspires me to do better than I did yesterday. To be honest in my work, and be patient with people. Thank you for being an inspiration.
From what I've seen the Monkey claw is a huge step up from what is commercially available. Maybe a vibrator function added? Shaking the dirt loose has got to be hard on the valves. I'm surprised at then strength it has.
Man I love watching your videos. But they make me miss running light and heavy equipment. But I’m disabled now so that no longer a possibility. So I’ll just have to watch your videos and pretend I’m running the equipment myself. Great work and keep up the hard work. Except Alex. Tell him to take care of that shoulder it’s not fun not being able to use your shoulder. I know mine doesn’t work anymore due to a multi trama accident. P.s. love the monkey claw.
I use trucks as trucks. Currently own a lifted 1989 Chevy K1500 regular cab short bed that is used to tow my 5th wheel. Its a small 26 foot 5th wheel but most people think the truck will implode if you tow a 5th wheel with a half ton.
The fact that you and Johnny don’t always see eye to eye with each other is another thing that makes watching this channel an education in all topics and scenarios. Respect ✊ is a two way street , and that’s what counts. Thank you for sharing your great video with us all Sir 👍 Tam.
Props to you. That's exactly the guy I also don't want to be. I wish I could help everyone I ran across. It doesn't work out that way but in a perfect world it would.
Hopefully he learned from getting sent home, I understand his point but he knows you guys are looking out for him!! The neighbors are awesome for helping you also, most people wouldn't even bat an eye unfortunately!!
Alex take it easy. I injured my wrist on a volunteer job. It took two to three weeks to heal. I had taken it easy Fri. thru Sunday. I watched TH-cam and operated my zero turn. Get well soon.
I would have said no as well on the $200 question, but with a twist. Since you're not wanting dirt left in the road each day, and you know your going to work that dirt before you go home, send the dump driver to get the last load of dirt but park the truck until the next day so you have the dirt first thing and have a jump start on the next day's progress.
I don’t know if anyone’s asked, but why are removing concrete that deep an so well settled? Wouldn’t the concrete, busted up into small chunks, make for a good backfill material?
Quick conversation on efficiency; you know your job better than I do but had this been me I would have had the dump trailer parked near the dirt pile and been back hauling the concrete out while tracking the dirt in
In Maryland we see Denali, limited, long horn, platinums, king ranches and all the top of the line trucks pulling trailers, and plowing snow. Definitely more money then I would wanna spend to work hard but for many it’s the normal….
Man that monkey claw is amazing! wish my company would have that for them demo days. Love the channel, fairing new here also can we get a update on that backyard retainer wall
Love the shot facing up towards you in the skid steer. Cool seeing a new angle of the bucket arms operating. THANKS Dirt Monkey Stanley. Fan for now...naaaahhhh, Fan always. Keep up keepin' up with..., Hell, your setting the standard.
I pull a 16’ SureTrack dump trailer with a 2021 GMC 2500 Denali black diamond edition. The guys at the quarry load me extra careful. It also looks super cool
i would say this is pretty good as it is with the Monkey Claw i would Say maybe a Monkey Chainsaw claw version in order to cut up trees and the like ? something i was thinking about doing with a local Group near me that i work with for my pet projects and is ok with new ideas in fact i had one idea that i bounced off to you for the other trailer ? a Local Company did that for me but what they did is have a thick bottom Layer of the same you have for the new trailer and Minced inbetween them they used a thick Steel deck with the upper Layer covered in the black rubber material they did a phenominal job i love what they did since i do have two Excavators that way 16 Tons and a 35 ton i got my deck Rated for the smaller one which i had custom made as it is but ya i tend to cut up dead trees allot so i have the Frost claw which is basically a chainsaw + Grappler combo that also runs off the same way your Monkey claw Does its a good design im always looking into finding new ideas to make it better myself so i talk to allot of people that i work with that uses it so far they love it the new design im working on is going to have it be able to Rotate like the Grappler you have for that one excavator that you refuse to change the attachment lol basically will act exactly like that but able to cut up right trees VS those you cut down with a chainsaw XD overkill but eh it works for me :D Something you can look into with that company you work with they probably could look into doing something with the new Monkey claw 2 or will it be 3? Either way
When I worked in the oil field the company I worked for had base woek trucks and the foremans had lariats or better. Man those trucks got DIRTY inside and out
Re Denali as work truck: Boss leases a Denali for 3 years then his company buys the truck off the lease program and the boss gets a new lease unit. The leases are expensed and the used purchase is an accelerated write off. Win-win.
I use my Denali on our property and haul everything a 1/2 ton can with in reason. I had the truck before we bought land. I won’t buy another fancy truck again other than the 6.2L motor. Don’t care for the wheels and no one wants to do a small level lift with the magnetic ride system on it or will do it correctly. Just a good deal on the left over body before the 2019 body came out. 🤷🏻♂️
Stan that was a lot of bucket loads I would guess the neighbor wouldn’t let you take a few sections of fence down to get a small dump truck or your trailer in the back yard. My new U35 Kubota excavator has the same screen in the fuel tank neck.
@@Dirtmonkey I bought some 5 gallon gas cans recently with a similar filter screen (or flame arrestor?), and had the same dang issue with "wearing the fuel" when filling them! Also, that Monkey Claw seems to be an indestructible beast, but surprisingly capable of finesse too!
Always like your vids. So I thought I'd share something that helps me out here and there called, ' I don't always see." and it goes like this. I don't always see when I see what I see. To be able to grasp a moment, open my eyes and my mind a bit wider and bring what I find inside me a bit deeper. Just might make for a bit of a better day. Why? Because? I don't always see when I see what I see. Jekelex Hope y'all have a better day, lol.
Why not remove that little bit of old fence and trim some branches so you can back the truck in? Is there a old culvert or something that you don't want to back trucks over, does the fence have some sentimental meaning to the home owner that it cant be removed and replaced? It seems to me like a few hundred dollars to replace the 3 or 4 panels and fence post would be way cheaper than bucketing it all from the road. I don't know this site of course but if possible make it so trucks can back in and dump then do a 2' lift on half the pool and let a guy with a walk behind diesel packer pack the lift while you make a lift on the other side. If it's 50 yards, then it doesn't make sense to remove fence but if its a few hundred that adds up fast 1 yard or less bucketed in at a time plus all the demo going out that has to be bucketed to the road. Love the videos, just curious.
Stan, I have to remove the hydraulic fluid screen on a Bobcat mini excavator. It has a very annoying low fuel alarm. When diesel fuel gets to 1/4 tank of fuel. I like the Wain Roy manual change out bucket connector. It is great stress releif.
Stan I must say that you and your crew do some of the greatest quality work I have ever seen! It’s great to watch as you rip out all of the garbage without missing a single bit! It is such a satisfying process to watch!
Funny story, after watching the first video of this job where you got stuck, I got an SSV65 stuck GOOD. Almost rolled it too. Long story short, I was operating above a retaining wall and ship went sideways. Wall sucked me right in. Luckily someone with bigger equipment offered to bail me out. That's always a humbling feeling for sure.
I’ve been in situations as Alex is in. Oh to be young and invincible again lol. He needs to give it time or he’ll end up like me, barely able to move.
The monkey claw seems to work out pretty well. I’ll kick back and wait on the last video of this project.
Keep up the good work !

You should get one of those cat skid loaders with the remote so you can be outside of the skid loader and still run it or you should get a bob cat tool cat
We have a cat but not with the remote.
Those toolcats are impressive
@@Dirtmonkey I wonder if you can buy a kit that makes it so that you can have the remote
I wouldn’t recommend it’s nice to have the feeling of the machine yes a remote would be nice but it’s nice to feel out the machine
That’s really used mostly by people that are disabled that want to move some earth around

1:45 -40 is the default lowest temperature. Basically your ambient air sensor (normally in the grill area) is junk or wiring issue.
Also having a bad sensor like that at least in bmws will cause the ac not not work correctly. The car thinks it’s crazy cold and will only run the ac for a short period of time and shut it down. Giving the impression of short cycling.

Some states have laws where dumping your dirt or anything in the road is illegal.
some cities in minnesota are like that. In fact this site was one of those cities. Thats why we had to broom clean the street right away.
I love the content and wow I learn a lot of things from your channel
Love to hear that 👍👍
I would have said no as well on the $200 question, but with a twist.

Boom! Thats what we ended up doing. "preloading" for the next day. Just hope it doesn't rain and get your load wet.
That Monkey claw is a great shrub picker.
Can I ask why the truck driver didn't dump the soil in the dirt driveway? Could have saved time and energy. Good looking job 👌

@@Dirtmonkey I bought some 5 gallon gas cans recently with a similar filter screen (or flame arrestor?), and had the same dang issue with "wearing the fuel" when filling them! Also, that Monkey Claw seems to be an indestructible beast, but surprisingly capable of finesse too!
Always like your vids. So I thought I'd share something that helps me out here and there called, ' I don't always see." and it goes like this.
I don't always see when I see what I see.
To be able to grasp a moment,
open my eyes and my mind a bit wider and
bring what I find inside me a bit deeper.
Just might make for a bit of a better day.
Why? Because?
I don't always see when I see what I see.

Hope y'all have a better day, lol.
hello kevin
how are you doing
Why not remove that little bit of old fence and trim some branches so you can back the truck in?
Is there a old culvert or something that you don't want to back trucks over, does the fence have some sentimental meaning to the home owner that it cant be removed and replaced?
It seems to me like a few hundred dollars to replace the 3 or 4 panels and fence post would be way cheaper than bucketing it all from the road.
I don't know this site of course but if possible make it so trucks can back in and dump then do a 2' lift on half the pool and let a guy with a walk behind diesel packer pack the lift while you make a lift on the other side.
If it's 50 yards, then it doesn't make sense to remove fence but if its a few hundred that adds up fast 1 yard or less bucketed in at a time plus all the demo going out that has to be bucketed to the road.
Love the videos, just curious.
Outstanding transformation and love the monkey claw.
Thank you!!
Man that pool was well built
Stan, I have to remove the hydraulic fluid screen on a Bobcat mini excavator. It has a very annoying low fuel alarm. When diesel fuel gets to 1/4 tank of fuel. I like the Wain Roy manual change out bucket connector. It is great stress releif.
Great video thanks.God Bless
Awesome skid steer content!!!
I used to run a 3500 Denali doing hotshot work with a 53' gooseneck
hauling in style! but man a 53' trailer is a beast!
