Rocky Drainage Repair in Caterpillar Mini Excavator - Will I Add Any New Dents to the Machine?
LOL... I about died when the water bottle hit the machine. That was a good one for sure.
Same
😂😂
Hilarious!
Same here, real glad I didn't have a mouthful of coffee, my laptop would have been wearing it!
@@CaptainKleeman The water repellent feature is quite impressive!
😂🤣😅🤣😂
Great job Mike
Great video Mike
Pepsi Can in the Body of the Truck, Seems Unusual how you come across so many. Someone has a Serious Addiction
Great job running the mini excavator Mike
Water won’t even stick to it. Then in comes a water bottle. Captain humor at its best. Anonymous great video. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe
Appreciate ya watching!
You’re hilarious. Love your sense of humor.
Thanks!
You are about the most entertaining person on UA-cam.
Lol thanks jeff
Nicely done Cpt. I'm very impressed with your skills you stud !!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
With a view of the river like that is it really still classified as work? Nice to see you again Mike, take care.
You aren't wrong! It's a heck of an office
Hello🙋♂️ from the Netherlands🇳🇱 and thanks for the video Captain👨🚒 Kleeman .
Sincerely Hollandduck
Was that a smirk on your face talking about that new scratch🩹 Nice clean up for sure. Property owners are going to enjoy that site for sure. Great job 👍🇺🇸
Your bit with the water bottle was unexpected and halaruous 😂 . I can only imagine how you would keep people in stitches at a party. Well done as usual and thanks for sharing.
Hahaha,. Surprisingly in rather introverted at party's
I was beginning to think this was a fake Captain Kleeman video until I saw the camera fall over. It’s like your trademark. Love your videos.
Always good to check it's an authentic video lol
A good quality job as usual, Mike!
You do a good job with that mini.
Thanks mike!
Gr8 job as usual I seen da stump jump out at u glad u took care of it lol keep up good work God bless 🙌
Looking forward to getting a t shirt.
💪
Mike , your video endings are all OK 👍
Lol thanks!
Thanks Mike, I needed that laugh this morning! Water doesn't stick to it! LOL I about spit out my coffee! Love it.
😂
Nice job Mike.
Mike, No pieces of equipment were injured in the making of "this" video😂😂 . Looks great. God bless and take care. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Thanks John!
That's a Nice Bolder 👌 Bit tippy there bud
😂
Hahah, got a good laugh at the water test against the diesel water repellent. :)
😂😂
Great work as usual, I’m in for a shirt…..keep us posted!!!
Thanks erik!
Good work, Captain. Well done.
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Thanks mike
SALUDOS KLEEMAN FROM CLIFTON N.J ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS..NICE JOB WELL DONE 👏✔ G.B.Y.
I really like that general purpose excavator. Seems smooth and rugged enough, yet small and easy to get around and haul ! It would be nice if you could video that waterfall ,it would be cool to see.
It's a nice little machine
Amazed the size of rock that little mini could handle. I think you took it to it's limit. See You Sunday. Time for me to get out and go for a ride.
That 304 is strong for it's size
Job looks good 👍
That lot is cleaning up nice, looking at your engine cover swing damage you should cut the black section out of the cover and rivet in some expanded metal mesh and paint it black then charge DP for "cooling improvements".
There ya go!
Another ( as always ) enjoyable video and as always a top notch job 👍 my grandson would be so impressed/excited with that fossil. “ water won’t even stick to the dang thing no more “ throws bottle of water ( that could be a Monty Python gag right there )🤣😂🤣 excellent humour. Still the hardest working man I know of 👍 Thanks Mike, best wishes from Britain 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
Hey appreciate ya watching!
Great video Capt! Definitely had me going with that water bottle 🤣🤣
I do agree about that tree though.. things do just come out of nowhere and grabs ya or whatever is close. Have a great week and weekend buddy!
Thank you! You as well
Nice video Mike. Keep them coming.
Thanks!
1000% worth the effort for the water shot. Both my wife and I had a good chuckle off of that one.
Lol glad you enjoyed it!
You rock captain ! Great camera angles ! Where did you dump the dirt ? 😀😉
Great job looks very good. See you on the next one.
I really like how you edit you videos. Thanks
Thanks Kevin!
Captain great video the job turned out nice! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks Kevin
Always worth the watch.🤑
Thanks!
Nice work Captain
Thanks!
Awesome job Mike
Thank you!
Cap’n… that looks awesome. It’s gonna make an awesome homesite.
I too have used Diesel as a paint gloss restorer. It really looks cool when you spread it in the shape of a smiley face, before working in dust! Double protection and… if you don’t wipe it off… a year later the machine will have a permanent tattoo. (There may be one on the door of my neighbors old farm truck… 🙂)
Nice work, bud!
Back in the 50’s when my Dad first moved to Ontario he worked for Canadian Pacific Railway and they kept the steam locomotives looking all clean and shiny with oil.
I guess it stood up to the heat but it’s not surprising that old railway yards are so contaminated.
What truck doesn't love a diesel tattoo
Hey Captain I'm sorry my long reach grease hose got run over so I was unable to grease the mini before you made this video. 😆 keep up the great work and as always stay safe.
My hose wasn't long enough and I think the battery is dead.
Lol thanks Brad
My battery went dead, ah forgot the tube of grease, I asked management for grease, they haven't responded yet. Lol
The classic, I get to it later.
Nice little job!!!!!!
Thanks!
Looks great Captain. Big improvement on that job. Great video thanks for sharing!!
Appreciate ya watching
Nice spot to working. Waterfall will be a lovely feature and drain looks great.
It's a beautiful office
Nice work Mike. Looks really clean and presentable. Good spot with the pre-emptive stuff. Always nice to see
Thanks!
Terribly sorry I didn't get time to grease the 304FB (floppy bucket) on Sunday, we had 14 calls !!! 😱🚒
Diesel works well as water repellent, the proof was right there for all to see 🤣🤣🤣
Culvert is greatly improved, the cliff face will be cool to see when the rain cascades down !
Good catch of the towboat passing by, you were able to avoid showing us the secret location too, we just know you went that way to somewhere!!!
Will be interesting to watch you felling the trees on Sunday, it seems to be a tight spot by the river.
Ps. Will your merchandise be for sale outside the US ?
I'm not sure on that yet, I'm hoping we can make it international
Another fine job Mike looking great 👍💪🔥🇺🇲
Thanks mike
"Top Secret Operation" Man, you know you did give that away in one of your prior videos (Betting that the last load of the day did not go to the same place 😁)! Looking forward to seeing if it was enough fill! BTW: As far as your grease issue, I don't think it would have made any difference until the burn pile was lite. And besides, it is really a waste to grease a dead tree stump! 😂😂
Love the fossil. Find more? I would look closely at every rock!
😂😂 I can not tell you how often I stop the machine to get out and look at rocks
Captin,Awesome job you're quite the master of making things look beautiful Thank you for sharing!
Appreciate ya watching
come on captain your our gate way to DPs secret stuff going on. lol. nice part 2 of the drain repair and the water bottle was the best. cheers captain
Lol stay tuned!
Wow the fossil is really cool I would be bringing it home with me too 😊👍
💪
What mike no spoon? Looks great mike ! Have a great dayband be safe at the fun job
No spoon! Can ya believe it?
2:50 ish in your loading DP's truck and I got a lil chuckle seeing that Pepsi can and then poor Gunner triggered it before DP. PRICELESS LMAO. As always good luck and God Bless.
😂😂
That was a really nice and large fossil, fossil hunters dream of finds like that. Hope you can get it professionally prepared to expose a little more of the fossil in the matrix.
Luckily we find fossils like this alot in our area.. very lucky!
Having blade on a mini excavator like that is a great idea. Seems like most should have them. Gives you some better stability too. My 23 ton hitachi doesn't really need one but sometimes it would be nice to have one haha.
They are definitely handy
That "drainage" feature looks like job security!! 😜
Lol
Nice work :)
Thanks for the video. Hope you are well.
Thanks!
Didn’t grease the connection point because the grease gun didn’t have specific instructions to grease all points, just the easy ones.🙄😏😉🙃. Sound effects are great. Like your rock collection, bit large for a display shelf though.😏😉thanks for the update on this project sir.
Maybe a display case made of rock filled with rocks?
Looking good. The trees down by the water to drop and refine is a video I look forward to.
Thanks Jeff!
That looked good when I went by with the welding rod....
Hey thanks lee!
Great job mike,Mike, video is interesting and great
💪
I absolutely love this Mike... Thank you.
💪
Looks good
Thanks!
Nailed it!! Careful, those safety glasses can be dangerous....... :) CK swag coming soon!! Have a good one Cap!!
Eye injury from safety glasses is the definition of irony
Looks awesome, what a difference in the rock face. Question would it not better to put in drainage pipe, though it would cause a lot of headaches. Thank you and you have an awesome week.
I'll be getting my T-shirt order in as soon as you open the store! Hope all is well!
Just send me your size sometime lee. I'll send ya one for helping on the property
@@CaptainKleeman No no. I'll buy it. The whole reason for the merch is to support the channel. You don't have to give me one.
oui oui Captain
💪
Hope DP didn't bust your chops too much over ding! Nice work there.
one needs to be mindful of "Glass Houses" when accidents occur.....just a cost of doing business.
Thanks!
Very nicely done Capt. Andy apologies I stopped in to grease her the other day for you on my way through, got 2 pumps out of the gun and realized it was out of grease, my bad lol. That's a beautiful fossil and a lucky find. Keep up the great work and look forward to the next video 😁 👍
Lol thanks for watching
Look great captain keep up the great work and videos 👍👌😎✌️🇺🇲
Thanks Ken!
that fill would be great to backfill around a pool lol
The drain pipe job looks great. Although if you wanted to paint that stump yellow and black you could have just used rattle cans. 🤦♂️jk stuff happens . Cool fossil btw.
Looks like the perfect size excavator for a home owner with a big parcel to deal with.
It sure does
Good job Mike 👍👍
Love your sense of humor 🤣
Nice score on the fossil 👍
Looks much better than it did 👍👍
Thanks Jim!
I don't even have to hit "play". I'm already smiling here bud!
re: Greasing for you. "I woulda if I coulda, but I couldn't so I didn't!"
Lol good!
@@CaptainKleeman I should write that one down somewhere! Almost as good as some of your work ;-)
Great work Mike. Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim
Looks good. I like the waterfall look too.
Thanks Joyce!
Another great job done Mike😎😎👍👍🤗🤗🍮🍮
Thanks Allen
Good video Captain 👍🏻
Thank you!
I did laugh when you tested the water resistance. 😄
😂
At the 3:00 mark, I couldn’t help but notice the Pepsi can in the bed of the 8500. That certainly made me chuckle. Tom
😂😂
So DP bought the Takeuch TL12 from C&C. God bless i
I honestly have no idea lol. He spoke and I didnt ask questions
I like to add bacon grease with my 87 octane in my machine. It’ll spit and sputter a tad at first but seems to work it’s self out. Try that next time Cap!
Hey there ya go
Another enjoyable video. I think the grease wasn't gonna help that sloppy bucket any. Great job on the cleanup though!
Lol true!
Welcome to Kleeman's channel, home of broken mirror's, awkward outro's and vengeful safety glasses.
I’ve never guffawed at an awkward outro before. Genius.
💪
"Water won't even stick to the dang thing anymore. *thump*". OMG I almost choked on the water I was drinking. Didn't see that coming! That made me lmao! 🤣
😂😂
Job well done … did you decide if your buying the excavator. Or just work it off , would be a great asset on the homestead
Not yet
Nope. Bounced right off. Your the best
💪
Nice job Cap…thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
When you are operating the excavator AND driving the truck, you still need to honk the excavator horn when you are done loading. Otherwise, how will you know when to change seats? 🤷♂️
lovely sight for a house overlooking the river but maybe to close in flood season. great job on the ditch and drainage work
No concern of flooding at this location. Well above 100 year mark which is the standard here
you truly do some nice artistic work .DP should be happy to have you help him out even if you break a few things from time to time. Oh you didn't leave any grease so we couldn't grease the mavhine for you . super great video ,love your additudebud your the best.
Dang it, I'll leave the grease next time
Great finish to a good looking job done.man of many talents.still loving the sarcasm.hope your camping trip went well.just keep doing whatever your do in your daily grind.and keep your mind intact.Lol good video 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks Tom!
