Sweet set up! Simple "AND" effective! LOL!!!!!
. . . . You have got a really good crew . MBTS , Mr.Milenial , Cpt. Cleman .
You and Mr. Millennial great job
Looks good my friend
Not bad at all might even say PERFECT 👍
Great video, DP!! If only you had a time machine and could've used the Minotaur on this one. I wonder how the grader attachment would work on that beast??
20:54 Always wondered why it was a big deal to get the ground absolutely perfect when the concrete would level it out at form height. Never thought about the amount of concrete wasted if it wasn't as accurate as possible. I'll probably never use the information, but happy to now understand the reasoning behind it.
Uneven sub grade can also cause stresses that may cause cracking or in the extreme, failure.
Uneven ground is a pain to set forms on also. It also makes grading around the exterior of the building much more difficult. All lead to wasted time and $$$$$
I really like all of your shows ☺️
Thanks
That roller should come in handy and be just the right size for your operation. Nicely done Mike!
I agree thanks Clyde
Nice set up.
Thanks
That's a LOT of fill ! Most just don't appreciate the skill it takes to bring a pad like that to grade. Good job !
Thanks
Thanks for these kind of videos. It's helpful for those of us who don't have any real experience in this phase of construction. Man it does look great!😊
Thanks and awesome
It would be nice if someone created a floater for this like they use for concrete. You could drag a log across the whole area once you rough it out. Done. Thinkin' outloud. You're welcome. kek. I'm liking the level meter on the machine, although it sucks for the audio when watching the vids. Jus' sayin'.
Note: You should pay Matt more just for putting up with you. [They] need to make a sh*t ton of money on the batteries, so we will continue to have problems until we call it out.
Well done, boys.
See Mike , you and Matt make a great team and lots of humor thrown in. Great video and thanks for doing them. Be Safe you guys and families too. 👍👍🇨🇦🐶❤
Thanks buddy
Nice to see the laser and level idea works Mike. It's a grader set up than it was before !
Job turned out nice. I especially like Matt's "Redwing grader attachment" on the bottom of his leg when he would remove a rock. It works great when golfing too except, it would be considered a "foot wedge". Lol. Good job.
lol thanks buddy
I have been figuring out how to get a rough grade with my sub-compact tractor with loader/frame mount backhoe attachment as opposed to shovel work. With an upgraded laser with similar machine attachment laser receiver, I have become much more efficient. If I can learn with less than perfect machine for the job, I can't wait to get on something that is better suited (skid steer/backhoe/mini dozer/etc.)
Off to finish the project for today. Enjoyed.
A good transit person can save you a lot of time and money. I use an Apache magnetic receiver on my excavator saves a lot of time. Good job, I enjoy your videos
Fantastic job, I remember those days when I was younger. I operated a Dynapac just like it. It was fun to operate but don't eat a heavy lunch before you get on it.
Thanks and awesome
Thanks John
20:53 'We're making cabinets out of dirt' :D that was funny.
😜😁
Michael,you are a dam good all around operator and problem solver👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🍿🍿🍿🍿👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
Thanks mike
Thanks Mike... I’ll be hearing that beeper all day! Perhaps it’ll help me keep my chainsaw plumb and level???
Those upgrades will make your jobs easier.. and already paid for themselves.
Nice results!
lol thanks buddy
Nice clean job! Like your improvements. Always nice to start building plumb, level and square!! Enjoyed the video.
Thanks
dozer move that much material in 1/2 the time of a skid steer, not to mention climbing piles in the dozer is fun.
Both true
When you mentioned the pad being raised up to be above the flood plane and then you see the level of the road at 2:25 compared to the pad it really makes you wonder how anything has ever been built there in the past.
Yes was a house there never flooded
👍
This Dynapac is one of the most reliable rollers you can find.
I did transport to Dynapac in the 80's and the ones I delivered to
had only good to say about them. They mostly use Kubota, Deutz and
Cummins engines nowadays. In addition, it is Swedish.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. The grader attachment is certainly getting refined, nice dozer skills too. The only takeaway I was left with was I hope you had some hearing protection, since the tinnitus in my ears was ringing in sympathy. I never gave it much concern until it was to late. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Yup thanks Tom
Another dam nice video I'm thinking Mr Matt is a keeper as well I really glad to see the growth in your company that awesome Mike keep up the good work
Thanks and I agree
I suppose you ”could” have used a FEL on a backhoe or even a rake and shovel. BUT I think you're right, this really was a job for a dozer. Excellent work and as others have stated thanks for sharing your method to the madness. 👍
Mr. Perfect, thanks for adding a date marker, "mid-April". Always fun when the 'keystone cops' music starts. RE: Improvements, my experience is that every project is an opportunity to consider new tools. Thanks for posting.
Thanks and thanks for watching
Nice to work Smart You are a Master Excavator Nice job
Thanks appreciate that
Thanks again Mike
Where are you located - general area would be fine S.E.Indiana or something like that
Very tidy job - agree dozer definitely the best tool for bashing out those piles. It's not just because the blade is bigger, but also extra compaction and vibration from the bigger metal tracks. 👍
Thanks
good job
Thanks
Another nice job done, I have a brand new unused walking stick paint marker here in its carry case you could have, the only trouble is we are in Cheshire England......lol.....
Lol thanks bob
I always get a kick out of the 3 stooges music. LOL, keep up the great vids and work. STAY SAFE.
Thanks
You're a man of many talents Mike
Thanks buddy
That's looking good awesome
have to shake my head at those who second guess you. after all you do "know it all"!! at least its its your business, right there, so I'll just watxh!
Another piece of ejuipment in you fleet no stopping you now
Always a great job. Keep it coming
good video
Thanks
Gotta love improvement thumbs up my friends
Thanks
Great job... I know the owner is happy. You sure made that site ready to build a building on. Great video Mike. Thanks for sharing and have a great day.
Thanks and thanks for watching
One thing to keep an eye on with the D4G Dozer... We had a harmonic balancer that either got loose or the rubber inside wore out and, when it started wobbling, it broke the front of the crankshaft off. Just be sure to check it often to make sure it is running true... lest you wind up half way through a job, like us, and the engine breaks. That was not a fun time.
*Edit* We believe it started going bad a few weeks prior to it breaking. We noticed the machine start to vibrate a little bit more than usual and the exhaust started to rattle as a result. We were optimistic that it was nothing more than an exhaust issue and it bit us in the a$$. After spending 12 grand in repairs we got rid of it.
Hey D.P., where'd you get the level indicator?
eBay
Nice job you did !!
Thanks
glad to see the upgrades
Thanks
That's a pretty ingenious setup!
Thanks
Well done!!!
Thanks
If you turn the vibrator off just before you stop it won't leave the divit. Especially when you're going forward to reverse
👍
Looks good now plumbers can come in and dig it up for drains .
Lol about right
Good idea putting level and stick on grader
Thanks
Man that grader attachment is money!
It is
What ever it takes to get the job done. I set grade stakes to finish a job because the laser wasn't available. Gotta do what ever it takes. beg, borrow, steal or grab the transit and get down to business. 😁
Yup and thanks
Good grading and making it look easy!
Thanks
Great video y'all have a great day and stay safe 👍
Thanks
I have a question about compaction . I know they started filling in and I assume they stripped the topsoil first , but how compacted did they get what they spread out with just a tractor ? and you spread the last 2 feet of fill with the dozer , which compacted some . that roller is probably good for 10''-12'' of compaction ? I am guessing . I would think it would need compacted with the roller every 12'' of lift or so . Are you worried about settling after they pour concrete ? From what I have seen I would guess that only the top 12" or so I compacted . Please enlighten .
I think you had the right equipment for that job.
Thanks me to
Nice job with the less than ideal fill. The customer should be very happy. The building will be nice and high off the surrounding ground too.
Another great job.
Thanks
That grader is coming along good for you. Never thought you'd use that much though did you
I didn’t either
Great quality work 👌. That is why everyone wants you to do their projects
Thanks
Looking good
Thanks
Might think about ear plugs when running roller. Thanks for sharing your day.
👍
"You want one pass or two?"
Yes
Awesome Job!!
Thanks
Nice pad! Good job fellas!
Thanks
WHAT are those concrete things around the outside?
Pillars for the building
Those little cat dozes are hard to beat awesome machines beats komatsu dozes. Glad to see little roller easy to transport. Excellent job and video thak you sir.
Yup thanks buddy
Why not put it on the skid steer and the dover that would help to
Seat time, you got it. Looks great
Loose the buzzer and try to go with watching the lights. You'll hear it in your dreams.
Thanks I explain in the video why I used the buzzer
They will need a ladder to get in the basement ! Nice pi-annor!
I think you made a good call using the dozer to spread the material at first, just faster and not as hard on the dozer. It’s nice to see the grader working well for you after all the work you’ve done on it. I think it’ll be a money maker and time saver for you. Nice job!
I agree thanks
Nice upgrades Mike. I like it.
Thanks
sweet
curious as to why you didnt roll/compact the sides with the new roller , seems like it would help ? like the vids , keep them coming.
I do believe he had the vibration was on in the wrong direction. Our ingersoll has to be switched from fwd vibration to reverse vibration every pass prob why it was pushing the drum so hard
👍
😂😂😂😉😉😉
How deep are the piers for building?
6 foot
Good idea. Cost 1/4 as much as GPS.
Yup thanks
Like the laser for the grader attachment Mike, makes it much more job friendly, hope you built it Kleeman proof 👍😂😂
great addition, but nothing is Kleeman proof, just as a good cell phone that claims water proof for only a certain depth equals water resistant.
Lol time will tell
i can't believe yyou did'nt have to put that in lifts.
You not watch the video
Nice job. Wish I had half that dozer skill.
Thanks
Good job looks nice!!👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks
Good video!
Thanks
So your dynapac looks just like my Compac. Did they buy conpac out?
Know idea was not mine
@@DirtPerfect oh thought that smooth drum roller is yours . So what brand is your sheep foot roller?
I spent 5 months on a compactor with the foot pattern on it. The first week on that sucker when I get home I would still feel the vibration in my body when I sit still an when I would go to bed. Talk about rattling your brain 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤣🤣🤣 but I loved every min of it tho. I was born to operate! 👍🏻👍🏻
Brain fart what's the foot pattern called?
like the level gage. where can i get one for my grader?
Bought off eBay
How thick a lift can that smooth drum compact???
Depends on the material
Dirt...
I wish I knew more about this stuff. After reading the comments, I found that I'd like to make suggestions without the information of what you have done. I want to sound like a know-it-all too.
Lol all good 😁
Boy that is some nice looking soil...
It sure is interesting watching Mike and crew getting a job done professionally.
No dilly dally waste my time B.S.
The way Mike explains how he works makes it clear he could open an academy for operatining construction equipment and he'd have to turn away students he'd have so many applications.
Thanks
G'day Mr Perfect, you might already know, but we always use a darker colour for a marking out and we find the best is blue.
👍
You should be compacting every foot of fill, running it along wirh the dozer. The building will sit on the concrete pilings , the after a few years the slab will crack because the raised base wasn't compacted correctly..
K
i know you're on that machine with the engine running in your ears but I think your setup should be like a drag racing tree with just lights for up down. Loose the squealing! Great low budget idea!
It has lights but like I explained you can’t watch both and only one makes noise 🤷♂️
If I ever got the chance I'd like to play in dirt with a D11 CAT 🤩. I've picked up a vibrating roller like that one from an auction to deliver to the buyer it definitely has a poor suspension 🤣 it was a rough ride just getting it on the trailer
You see how nice that quarter circle bubble level and the laser receiver on the rod work. You can put that on the D4 dozer also, it works fine on the D3 for me.
Yup have one 😁
Like a pro.
😁
