As a veteran I Salute you for placing up our countries colors!
Thanks and thank you for you service
31:15 👍
As a retired Trooper, I couldn't agree more! Thanks for your service!
I always love digging basements with a bunch of corners especially in rock.
I especially love staking a basement out with a bunch of corner points, and turning 90 on every point. Oh man i’m telling you, pinning a basement with about 24 corners would be a blast...an absolute blast. I pinned a condominium footer with 108 corners, it was more fun than than i could even attempt to explain. I would set 2 points, set up on one point and zero, so then I could turn 90 for the next one; it’s just tedious, maddening fun.
lol will call you on the next one
I’ll be there the only thing I’m doing is holding the recliner down
@@deplorablelibertarian I just did an ICF basement with 32 corners. I setup batter boards on anything under 8-10 corners. Above that I use a surveyor. In our area the surveyor will do the layout and 3 on site visits to Mark it out for less than 2k.
@@DigAHoleFillAHole....I enjoyed being an actual LAND surveyor doing alta/topo surveys on huge tracts of land, but I absolutely despised pinning footers and mortgage surveys. I did the alta survey and boundary survey on the base housing for Langley AF Base, that was the kind of stuff I enjoyed. We used the Trimble Total Station so the survey work was a little more expensive.
Matt’s doing pretty good on the dozer, seat time will show. God bless America! Kevin
i enjoy how y'all cover each other... it is nice to know you guys are all friends and promote each other
As a veteran, I love the looks of the American Flag, especially when it’s a bright, shinny, new flag! Looks amazing!
Thanks and thanks for your service
Thanks for your service sir.
The flags are an AWESOME addition to the shop. Nice job Mike.
Thanks
DP video and a cup of coffee on a winter’s day, Life is Good 😌! Thank you Mr. DP!
Thanks for watching jim
Keep up the honest reviews I really enjoy them. It’s nice to hear someone who isn’t one sided. Thanks 👍🏻
Thanks
Beautiful addition to the shop DP!! I have a two flag poles out in my font yard, one for the American flag of course and one for the Navy flag for my oldest son who is serving in the Navy currently
Awesome
Love the flags!!! Sure are glad you know geometry. I do understand what you are saying now. ty
Thanks Robert
Matt did a good job for his first. He's no Jerry. However Jerry didn't learn what he knows in a day. God bless
Ol Matt will get there on the dozer, its just about a little operator advice and seat time. I like the flags. Stay safe.
Thanks buddy
Great Addition to the shop! Glad to see you are a Patriot.
Thanks
Made me tear up at the end! Bless our Republic. and Bless you and family
Thanks Tom
Merica!! Pretty special moment there!! That’s awesome!
Be proud and support your state, country and your work. 🇺🇸🇺🇲
Another great video-lots of info on what’s taking place
Beautiful closing shots Thank you
Thanks John
NICE, my flagpole has the American, POW/MIA, and the Police flag. My son is NOPD and we are very proud of him for his choice.
Great job on a tricky basement and Matt seems to catch on quick. Thanks to all and Happy Holidays!!!
This was filmed on my birthday great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Thanks and happy late birthday
@@DirtPerfect no prob
Vietnam Veteran appreciates your display of the Symbol of freedom! USA
I agree with you on the locations of the pins being the difference
Hard work and patriotism is top notch in my book.
Thanks
Once you see it you can't not see it.🤔
Just watched Capt. Kleeman running the dozer and noticed Kleeman dropping the dozer blade.
I find that kind of information interesting, I will never be able to use it but, still interesting.
Teacher Dirt Perfect.👨🎓
Awesome shop improvement, makes me proud😊😊
Good digging 👌 flags look great 🇺🇲
Thanks mike
Thanks for posting the colors!
Good video that's a lot of corners on that basement like your new flags more people need to be proud of their country
The American flag is the perfect addition to any shop proud to be a American
And the Swedish flag for a proud Swede.
@@makingithappen5178 yes if your Swedish

too bad the flag you see is a war time flag bud www.afn.org/~govern/hornswog.html
Interesting to see how you plan ahead on the best way to dig the basement, rather than just sticking a bucket in the ground. Well done!
Thanks
Good video again good job operating equipment look like he’s getting pretty good on the dozer he’s got a good teacher My friend nothing to worry about dirt perfect on the job it will be done right be safe
Wow. Love the day and the detail
Thanks
Yep I agree pin placement! Small triangle faster but weaker, large triangle slower but stronger. Take your pick.
Yup exactly
From a veteran, I say Thank you. Awesome..
Thanks Jon and thanks for your service
What like with your videos their are for my grand children to see G rated. Thank you marry Christmas to you and family and friends.
Thanks James appreciate that
Love to see the flag proudly displayed in your shop. I think everyone should do the same. I would strongly suggest a total station. We have had ours for 2 years and has more than paid for itself. You do things a little different than we do not that either is wrong, just different. You do a good job and I enjoy watching.
Thanks buddy
The thought of buying new or newer equipment is to do so for more productivity, reliability, and of course added comfort. They basically have increased speed for productivity and definitely added operator comfort but are severely lacking and have gone down hill on reliability due to all of the added electronics and emissions. Granted a lot of the electronics helps on the productive and fuel efficiency but also adds for more things to go wrong. And that goes for all manufacturers Cat, John Deere, Volvo, all of them. I don't care for the electronic joystick controls I prefer the hydraulic pilot controls so I can actually feel the work that I'm doing especially when precision counts. Great video Mike!
God bless America. Thanks DP
Where I live in NC a step rise cannot be more than 8" and with a 12" tread. Different rules for different areas. 9" seems a little high.
U.B.C. (Uniform Building Code) says 6"-7-1/4" rise and 11-1/2 tread is acceptable for residential/ commercial, but outside space is determined by the landscape (not exactly sure what that means, but...).
Dang it. Geometry was something id use after school. 👍
You always seem to make me smile in the mornings love ya DP
Thanks jr
From a Veteran , Thank You Mr. Perfect for displaying our Great United States of America Flag . Ol' Matt is doing a fine job for a Rookie in training . Remember you were a rookie once . Great video , Keep them cards and letters come'n .
Very nice touch to the shop.
Thanks
The Flags are a nice addition 👍. As an old Veteran I enjoy seeing our Flag present in an video. 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
I agree with your conclusions on the Volvo. Good video..
Thanks mike
Nice to see you are a patriot, with both state and national flags, ( a proud Canadian here) good job. Again I like how you are passing on to Matt your knowledge of safe equipment operation.
The flags are a great addition. The rookie did pretty good on the dozer only one cus word haha. Will we see the new braces on this job. Stay safe
When you look at Chris's (letsdig18) 160 that only runs a 42" bucket, although I believe it's a high capacity bucket being deeper, but the 160 doesn't want anything any bigger, with a full bucket stretched out over the side of the track, it'll pick it's opposite track off the floor & you have a 42" bucket on a 140
Thank you from a 80 year old veteran in KY
Thanks for your service
As an American Veteran you pulled at my heart strings when the American flag went up ..... Thank you
Thanks for your service Jerry
Thank you for your service! 🇺🇸🇺🇸💪
Love the Flags, of course the basement dig was cool too.
Thanks Brad
Being a Retired Air Force Veteran and a Gold Star Family member, it is always great to see Old Glory flying high. God Bless you sir
Thanks for your service Ted
@@DirtPerfect Thank you sir, keep up the great videos
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family 🎄
Thanks
Thank you for the video and awesome way to end it by displaying the American Flag. God Bless the U.S.A.
Thanks Donnie
I always thought you lived in a State of Confusion, with having to deal with MBTS logic, Captain Kleeman logic, Mr Millennial logic and above all else HR logic. LOL
Love people that are proud to display our flag 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷
I love the ''educational moment'' at 24:50 😂😂, your just got a big thumbs up for that one !!
Thank you
Just watched the Heavy Metal Learning video you did. Thanks for the link, Plue some one was taking shots at the Good Captain.
👍
Love the flags
Thanks
Looks good!!!
I like what you have done with the flags and the hyundai operators challenge 👍
Thanks
Matt did good for first time and every piece of equipment has it's own attitude even if it was made same time had twin Mack's and they were different
You’re absolutely correct. The capacities are determined by the joint relationships and cylinder size. Jacking up the pressure will increase the capacity with multiple risks and wear/maintenance problems.
Chris from letsdig18 mentioned you tonight when he got into his mini excavator with the Pepsi Can.
Thanks for sharing the dozer operating tips! I really appreciate it as I am quite the novice. I really enjoy any tips given how to operate equipment. Keep up the great videos. Very informative and helpful to people like myself who are interested in learning about operating equipment. Plus great quality videos.
Good deal and thanks
Simple things like boom and stick geometry can have a bid effect on the performance of a machine. The location of pins vs hydraulic cylinder mount locations can change things dramatically. You can have good pressures but have less breakout force on machines with slightly different layouts. That’s one reason mass sticks have such a long upper where the upper cylinder mounts... it gives more leverage. Slower movements... but greater force. So each manufacturer goes about things a little different. You can’t always expect the same results from different machines/manufacturers.
I just got to the 27:00 area. I see you’re talking about this type of thing. Smart fella! Lol
Yup thanks
Shop looks great. I need one of those power lifts.
Thanks
Nice way to end the day.
Love the Edition To the shop!
Thanks
Nothing but awesomeness
Thanks
good video and you are right
Flags looks awesome Matt did a good job running the dozer just give him time
VERY cool flags!! As always, love the videos!!
Thanks
Those two little ones are about to get some valuable education of what it takes to build a house.
nice to see the colors on the wall now you nee to put up a flag pole for one outside
Like the video Mike .
Thanks Leo
I think what we've learned today is that DP semi breaks the equipment, and then Capt comes along and finishes things off.
Mike, I don't know anything but what I've seen about your equipment on your channel. I would think that some factory settings are meant to be user-adjustable. Everything has to be adjusted to some starting point. I bet the factory adjustments are set more from a safety issue than anything else.
Also as a VET a big thumbs up to the flags they look great
Thanks John appreciate your service
Oh boy can we que in @letsdig you gonna be in trouble my man. Lmao.
Good work Matt!!
Thanks
Absolutely love the flags. When you were putting the US flag up backwards, I knew it would be right before you signed off. That is the most beautiful flag that has ever existed. Thanks for the video. It was great as always.
Thanks Joel
Thanks for the explanation Karen
👍
You need a Captain Kleeman sticker where your mirror is supposed to be 🤣
Lol
Then the Captain would want to see a Dirt Perfect sticker where his camera was supposed to be while mowing. How many lost camera broken mirror stickers can you have on your equipment?
@@bluegrallis Hey that’s not fair he actually found that camera
I hear you But it's all in the tone of your voice, the 120 has it🥰🥰🥰
Nice video and the people that think you just need to start cranking up your hydraulic pressures over factory specs need to see some of Logger Wade’s videos with his issues on Brutus because someone had cranked up the hydraulic pressure above factory specs.
Yes good point
Time to go spend a day or two with Letsdig18 and run the bigger machines. Some day I am going to have one for the farm. Merry Christmas Mike and family.
Good work on the house lot
Thanks
Thanks for displaying our country's flag, I wish more people would display it. Mine is outside in a prominent position. I'm a vet with 2 tours in Viet Nam, 6 years in Army. Retired locomotive engineer. I enjoy your channel very much. God Bless You and your family.
With seat time Matt will get better and the flags in the shop looks awesome
Nice job on the basement! But while putting up the flag I'm sitting here going "Not right, not right!" Glad to see you figured it out, Thank you!! And God Bless!
👍
Love it!
Thanks
Mike you do t need to explain your review to arm chair bandits. My bet most them never ran a machine .
And nice addition to the shop 👍🏻
Lol thanks Chris
Suggestion: When you do a complicated basement like this, it would be really useful if you do a plan view drawing and show where you start, setup, pile the dirt and in the order you do it. That would REALLY make it clear and convey the experience you have. Not a complaint - just a suggestion.
ua-cam.com/video/rAmAoxmWkLI/v-deo.html
I like how you explain what you’re doing and why you’re doing it the way you are when digging or setting up. I’m taking a lot away from your channel, as for the trick with the dozer and the angle of the slope of your dirt pile and just dropping the blade is a good thing to know also! Like I always say you always learn something new! Thanks for sharing your tricks and tips on what works for you to help me and others! Love the flag setup in the shop it looks good!
Thanks for watching buddy
@@DirtPerfect you’re welcome! Keep up the good work and great content.
When you put those flags up on your wall brought 😭 to my eyes. THANKS FOR SHOWING your faith in our country and those that have served this country now and in the past. THANKS AGAIN MR. MIKE!!
Thanks roger
Aloha Mike, good comparison between the Volvo and the 120. Leverage and the fulcrum point are always the key when lifting, reaching, and moving. It seems like Volvo focuses more on stability and is willing to sacrifice a bit of power to maintain safety. The Volvo skidsteer is the same way, much more stable, less tippy, but seems to lack a bit of capacity and power as a trade-off. I remember watching a video of the new skidsteer when they first came out and the head to head was impressive, but real world is always different.
Looks like it's going to be a nice house.
A finishing bucket would do the trick on the basement bottom !
Yup have one check out other videos
Awesome Job!!
Thanks
The whole geometry thing makes sense considering you said it boomed up much quicker. That shorter angle will make it boom up faster at the cost of lift capacity so I think you nailed it.
