I am so very impressed with the thought process to the actual testing and how well it is working.
Now he just needs a horizontal laser reciever on the front, then setup another laser at the destination and let the dozer steer itself. Finally install a TV so he has something to do while he's sitting in the cab.
Dare I say, "PERFECT!" THAT, was flippin' AWESOME! I think we were all just as excited to see it working, as you were to actually use it!
What a great piece of equipment you created. Thanks so much for sharing! Enjoy the weekend. God bless.
Excellent work - well done all of you, especially Flaming Dirt for his impressive homemade electronics. Really excited to see it working and paying back your investment 👏👍🍷
Hope he doesn't price himself out of business. May have to charge $1000.00/ft. Lol
Heck probably saved tons excavator work.
He'll need to bring a pillow to lean his head on with all the automation lol.
Great job Mike, man behind the scenes, flaming dirt, Mat and Captain Kleaman. Oh C&C and anyone else.
Thank you Local much appreciated. The whole thing was a very cool experience. And all you guy's comments made it really special
@@michaelmaker8169 Thank you for the kind words. As for cost, that is the amazing thing about friends helping friends. You get to spend time with people you care for and help keep the cost down. I wish more people will do it these days:
ex. I have an old propane bottle, you have old pipe, Mike's got a welder. A Saturday afternoon spent with friends later...... And one of us got a smoker that we all can enjoy next time we get together.
Fantastic results Mike, really impressed with the fabrication, tech and effort..bravo 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Congrats Diet Perfect team. This is just brilliant - the trials, tribulations, inventions, and ingenuity have all been realized. Now the projects begin full steam ahead. Love it.
Diet Perfect brought to you by Jenny Craig!
"Diet Perfect" are you trying to tell us something Heather :-) :-):-)
To clarify, you would not be wrong I gained exactly 5 pounds in those two weeks. Country food is AMAZING...... I ate things I never even knew you can fry, some of it I still don't know what is was.
@@armoredsaint6639 LOL
@@flamingdirt669 LOL I have low vision and the 'r' is beside the 'e' on a keyboard - apologies Dirt Perfect. Anyway you needed lots of brain food for what you developed.
@@flamingdirt669 Love the humor. Well done.
Nice to finally see it work. It works easier to prelay the pipe rather than the cart. Nice job. Wish man behind the scenes was there to see it first. Matt is good with the laser.
Congratulations to you, and everyone involved in this project. Fantastic tool, what a great addition to your companies inventory.
Smart engineering and a lot of hard work. Great job, Mike and your team!
Congratulations on the success of this project. Now only the long-term testing is missing to make it a job that also recoups the costs.
Besides Sargent Rock Ripper needing a “pop-can” holder the biggest thing I can see that needs to be done is some definite need for cable management. As someone who has installed and dressed thousands of miles of wires and cables for a living I have visions of the grey power cable that goes from the back of the dozer to the grade control unit getting bounced up, caught, and cut in the ripper mechanism which I predict could/would be a bad thing (look at the position of the gray cable at about 35:00 onward) This potential problem could be simply mitigated by the installation of a “pogo-stick” (think like the spring loaded base mounted behind the cab of almost every road tractor for airline and trailer wire cord including your “puppy-dog”). Since the weight and strain of the gray wire powering the grade-control unit is much lighter a spring base for a radio base and 3 foot piece of thin wall 7/16 tubing with a slug installed in the bottom end drilled and taped for the stud on the spring with a piece of “pencil rod” steel that has been heated and bent around a 2 inch pipe of pipe for a couple a few loops that is welded to the top of the mast should work fine and be easy to Fabricobble up in about an hour and them mounted to steel mounting/base plate of the plow and possibly another one mounted up close to the dozer on the actual ripper mechanism. Additionally I would seriously consider installing either twist (spiral) wire loom or mesh style wire loom on the cable harness of the grade control unit (I definitely recommend Not using plastic “split-loom” (the stuff that kind of looks like tile pipe because it hold dirt and moisture which also gets brittle rather quickly out in the sun light). Lastly have you perhaps considered installing a plate on the bottom of the grade control unit frame assembly and then drilling holes through the plate and so that the lead-screws of the c-clamps could go through it and tighten against the mounting bracket on the plow that way if a c-clamp were to get loose the likely hood of the grade-control unit falling off and onto the ground and being damaged in far less. (I am a belts and suspenders type of Fabricobbler myself who firmly believes in overbuilding things because I don’t like having to build/repair them again in a couple a few years) The above are just a couple of thought I have for your DP-Tile-Plow w/optional FD grade control V1.x . Have a great day and a better tomorrow.
Again I say congrats on the first tench that you have filled with tile!
The only obstacle that I can see is the rocky subsoil. But that can be solved with a powerful ripper running interference to break the hard pan. So two tractors would still be a hundred times faster than the traditional blast and dig method!
I am thrilled to see the machine work exactly as planned !
I agree with you on the electrical cable management.
If they were suspended using a spring it would keep them away from getting snagged.
I bet it could wire fabricating Company would be able to in case them in rubber shielding which then could be most likely to short out or get snagged.
In lieu of the progress from the initial thought to and through fabrication this was an outstanding demonstration with like-minded people collaborating together to make it happen!
It's always so awesome when something you designed and built works flawlessly as you planned! Congratulations on a job well done.
You and the guys have a lot to be proud of with this one.
Thank you Kurt. I still cant believe is worked first try!!!! That NEVER happens in Prototyping.
This has been a very cool series. Excellent content.
so good to see all that work has paid off. itll be interesting to see how much wear & tear effects it over time
Congrats to you and flamingdirt, Mr. M. and anyone else I missed . You have engineered an excellent system, and I hope you can help many farmers install tiling at a price they find most agreeable . Farming is hard enough as is .
Thank you for going on the journey with us
Aaron, the welder on this metal nightmare!!!
Mike, It Was Fun Watching The Build, And Even Better To Watch It LAY PIPE, Now A Small Inverted V-Plow To Close The Hole, And It Will Be Spectacular!!! WELL DONE SIR, WELL DONE!!!!
I always end up with a smile on my face when watching your videos.
Nice job! 🤝 Excellent work, there will be several to place pipes in the future! Congratulations Mike for putting this project into practice, and of course the guys on the team deserve the compliments for helping you to reach the goal!
That set up works great ,my congratulations to all involved in its building and to you DP on its conception and for making such great videos to bad MBTS couldn't of been there to enjoy in the fruits of his labor with the rest of you .
Worked well. I’m impressed. Couple points of advice, solid pvc on your exits for 20’ or so with critter guards, and on field edges like that, stay 30-40ft out in the field. That tile will be full of roots in no time now..
Most roots don't grow five feet in the ground
@@dalecherry4044 if theres water there they will..
@@robo1210 the reason they are putting in the tiles is to get rid of the water that is already there. To dry out the already too wet ground.
@@dalecherry4044 I’m well aware.. I’m also well aware that tile attracts roots.. being that deep and having numerous laterals off the main means there will almost always be water in that tile. And roots seek water. I’m not just pulling this out of no where.. I’ve had to fix more than while tile that was plum full of roots from trees.. even up to 7-8ft deep
@@robo1210 I can't see it
Then why isn't my creek full of roots, or is it they are just attracted to the tiles?
Freaking Outstanding! TEAM=Together Everyone Achieves More!
I don't know if it's feasible with the tile pipe lagging behind but wonder if it would be worth it and on a couple of plows to pull the spillage on the sides back into the trench?
It was really great to see all of you smiling and relishing with the success. May you all continue to be abundantly blessed and prosper from this wonderful collaboration
Thanks
Awesome job … so interesting watching you and the guys working together to get the job done. IT meets DIRT !!!
Don DP is an AWESOME R&D partner!!!!!
That's an awesome set up definitely gonna be a money maker for you in the future, Congratulations on your success! ✌🏼🇺🇸😊
I needed some Dirt Perfect today. And I couldn't have picked a better one! You all are geniuses! You should be proud❤
900ft of pipe, and in the same breath “nothing broke!” I think you were more relieved that nothing had to be fixed! A true owner!!!
Congratulatuons!!! That is freaking awesome! If you build it, it will plow. Wonderful team effort.
Congratulations with all that hard work DP, Flaming Dirt's and MBTS hard work paying off. God bless
Thank you Thomas, and thank you for all your great comments along the way.
Also C&C Equipment and Truck & Track !!!
That is amazing. No doubt will speed up tiling over digging it all in. Very nicely built too DP and another big thanks to Flaming Dirt, that is just awesome what was accomplished with a bunch of pieces from scratch. Also thanks to everyone else that pitched in, MBTS, CK, MM. Look forward to more videos with the plow. Keep up the great work guys 😁 👍
Thank you so much Matthew
Really enjoyed the absence of interrupting ads. Great job!
I am impressed the plow and grade control work better than i every thought it would. The only suggestion I have is to move your main farther out into the field . Those trees are little now they will root out into that tile pretty quick. If you move the main out another 40 feet you can run a shallower lateral to drain the edge of the field if the roots grow into it at least it will not plug up your whole tile system
Mike, I’m sure you had thoughts of the plow working but, I’m sure you never thought it would work that good! Congratulations on the build, the whole team done a hell of a job!
You should be very proud of your team, from drawings to completion with little to no setbacks. Two thumbs up
Worked like designed Mike! Well done to all. Not only are you "Dirt Perfect" your now "Plow Perfect" huh? Nice addition to the fleet.
Flaming Dirt you are a gem for helping Mike figure this out.
Great talent and big balls to take that project on, hugely impressed.
Covering the top inlet lip with cut pvc pipe seems like it would be a good idea to keep the drain tile from eating the metal lip over time. Just be sure to to countersink the screws.
I had zero doubts. Great work to everyone involved in the build.
Congratulations Mike! Your smile when the tile first started to roll through was a proud moment to share. All the hard work is paying off. Thank you for bringing us along.
You may want to consider the tree roots getting into that tile line. Maybe, add an "inlet" at the top end to add copper sulfate periodically. It might help prevent problems later?
Having watched other channels of farms installing tile pipe my impressions is the biggest problem with tile pipe after it is installed is not tree-roots so much but filling with silt. That said remember the drainage from those pipes is going into rivers and streams which begs the of if putting copper sulfate in those pipes would even be legal or in general a responsible thing to do considering the amount of water coming from those drains would require almost a constant injection of a copper sulfate solution compared to the pound or so that is needed in a home sanitary pipe where the copper sulfate gets stuck to the inside of the pipe from soap and grease scum on the pipe. I replaced the old “orangeberg” pipes under my house and even after over a year since the last time I had flushed a pound of copper sulfate down my drain it was still present in my sewer lines in the soap and grease scum.
@@gullreefclubTree roots almost always go towards tile lines due to the fact that they are a reliable source of water. Tree root intrusion is a labeled use for copper sulfate. It would be best to use it at a "low flow" time of year to give the roots a better chance to absorb the product.
If the tile is properly installed at a consistent grade, they shouldn't silt in for the rest of a persons life.
What we are hoping for
Great job, that thing exceeded all expectations! Maybe next you can fabricate up some kind of a pre-trenching attachment for the front blade to help when you're in the deep stuff, or in hard pack.
The first tile laying job should more than pay for it. Awesome job Mike and everyone that had a part in making this a reality!!!
I love it when a plan comes together! 🤗🤗😎 looks great! Thanks for letting us tag along.
If this was built by a corporation there would have been, a mechanical engineer, an electronic engineer, and a computer programmer. On top of that you would need someone to draw up the engineers ideas, a fabricator, a welder, a hydraulics specialist. I probably missed someone in this. Then it would have taken minimum as long as it to you to build, then count less hours in the field doing development work. I know you are proud of your accomplishments with only a welder and a computer specialist. And so you should be. Might consider a patent. Congratulations. 👍👍👌☑️
DP, you should set up a cheap CCTV camera and screen so you can watch the plough in action without having to look over your shoulder. It's going to hurt your neck if you have to do that for X'000'a of feet of tile. You might want to relocate the little black box display too, it would also make it easier to monitor the running adjustment numbers as well. Just a though after watching you run it.
Damn, that plow cuts through 5 feet like butter so far!! This is working really good, thanks Flamingdirt for his tech knowledge.
Thank you Warren
@@flamingdirt669 My man, most people that watched you build this thing cant even comprehend all the time and knowledge that just took to get working like it did! Impressive work.
@@warrenmichael918 I really appreciate that. Yes it's often hard to explain what it takes
Original designs are hard to comprehend on the intuition required to step through the logic from beginning to end. A patentable system for sure with the software that is controlling this setup. Congrats DP on taking the bold steps to venture into unknown territory and putting the team together to bring concept to reality. Been there, done that…You all did great.
Greetings from Central NH Lakes Region - Totally awesome, you guys did an amazing job designing, fabrication, electronics and programming - Genius level work all around. Those new 30" pads on the dozer really worked super, especially in the farm field setting! Beautiful farming soil you were tiling.
Thank you M. Nix we really appreciate the kind words.
Congratulations Mike on a successful trial run. This has been a very cool project to follow along with. From concept to reality you put a lot of thought and work into a pretty substantial investment and seeing it in action has to be very rewarding. Awesome job by everyone involved. Good luck.....now get out there and lay some pipe!!
I love the clanking of the new wide tracks. Great work on the plow. Too bad Aaron wasn't there to see.
Happy Mothers Day Mrs Dirt Perfect!!!
Keep up the great content!!!
Thanks
You don't want to have perforated tile, clear to the end of the run, where it daylights. At least that's how it is here. Being perforated all the way lets the water that is in the tile, start exiting the tile through the perforations, instead of all of it exiting out the end of the tile. Thie water that exits early, through the perforations, will undermine the tile, which in time will start eroding back into the field. You tile runs need to be solid pipe at the end where they daylight.
With the flooding of the river a hard pipe would be sweep down stream . Soft tile will float and keep draing
@@richardthomas3710
Solid pipe, the way I’m using it, means non-perforated. Sure, the Ohio River could wash out the outlet of the drainage tile being installed in the video. That could happen no matter what kind of tile/pipe is installed where the tile daylights.
The remaining tile, even if the end piece of tile was washed away down river, would continue to work.
The issue with perforated tile at the outlet is explained in my original post. I’ve experienced this issue first hand. There’s no need to have created an issue (erosion of the soil under the tile outlet) when it’s preventable. The Ohio River is something that’s basically uncontrollable in this type of circumstance.
I don't think the average guy out there can really appreciate the HELL OF A JOB you guys did with this. The fact that you are within THAT small of an envelope of depth-variation is incredible, considering that grade-systems need to constantly go through a "hunting" feedback loop to correct error. Just amazing👍
Thank you Cripple Creek we really appreciate it. Will be honest its better than I hoped for. You heard my conservative 3/4 inch guess just before
@@flamingdirt669 it's incredible, considering the physical forces involved, and the feedback-delays in any complex hydraulic system. You guys should be very proud 👏
GREAT JOB and many PROPs to the entire team for this amazing accomplishment, on such a limited budget. It looks to be working PERFECTly! If I remember correctly, you had mentioned in an earlier video, that you were thinking of making the connections from the cab to the boot, via wireless connection. If you do this at some time in the future, I would recommend that you maintain the "Wired" capability in the event of a wireless failure out in the field. This way you could just plug-in the cable and continue laying your tile. Fantastic job done by everyone!
I second the redundancy, work in computers all the time in health care. I still use paper!
Hope it works! Lot's of time invested in it for sure. And at 2:41, was that a can of Coke? lol
Go team RED!!!! One of these days I'll make him see the light!
You’re beaming like a proud PaPa! And, rightfully so. Congratulations bud.
While you were plowing it struck me…. I didn’t plant my taters with a level… had I done so… I could have just texted you the coordinates and elevation of the grade stake. But… let’s not fret over ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’.
Fortunately, I think there might be a simple answer…. Gold Rush! The TV show… you see the taters that I planted were Yukon Gold. Those big juicy yeller ones.
I’ll send a note to Todd and see if he has any suggestions on how to find those GOLDen taters… Maybe he can arrange for his dad Jack to bring his 400 to dig the prospecting hole?
Don’t worry about that part Mikey… go ahead and jot down a date in early September. I’ll make all the arrangements… you just bring the tater plow!
Note to self: use the laser to plant next year!
Hey Mike, you and the Dirt Perfect team may have just created, a machine that prints MONEY! Bravo.
I sure hope so Dan, but just to be safe we built it at night. After our daytime jobs :-) :-)
Thoroughly impressed guys. Seems you now not only have a new 'toy', but a time saving piece of equipment to boot.
Absolutely bloody awesome!! Watching how much blood sweat and tears went into the build and the brain aching electronics WELL DONE 😃😃😃😃😃
Thx James!!!!
That's just awesome.....
American Craftsmanship and ingenuity at its best.......🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’m sooo happy for y’all!! This just shows what can happen if you are determined to get it done. 👍👍😎
What a wonderful acheivement. I really admire the confidence you had at the outset. I now understand why a break away device is not required. The dozer would stop.
Awesome to see a plain come togather great work and congratulations to everyone involved in this build.
So glad to see it come together and work. Congratulations to you all.
Congratulations, that's a major undertaking and accomplishment. Well done boys.
Mike my advice to you is when your having a bad day think back on this moment because the grin on your face is priceless ....Its not Dirt Perfect ...Its Dirt Precision ..Job well done
Wow that’s crazy how you guys build a homemade contracption and it works like a charm lol, love it!
Glad to see all that work turn out for the good I see a lot of tile work in the future
Awesome job by all involved. Looks like she is going to do very good. Congratulations to everyone.
I love at the start of the video the dog is spotting for you as you back the 850 out of the shop
Congratulations Mike/MBTS/and all others involved. This is one he'll of an accomplishment and it has been a blast watching it get built. Thank you for creating this content!
It sure looks like Mike you have added a labor saving, and a production enhancer to your dozer. Well done, and a great design and fabrication. A winner all around.
Nice job. May I recommend a 4 inch line next to all those trees. They call that a Sacrificial line that will catch all the tree roots before they take out your main.
Very impressive. All the work put into it paying off now an flaming dirt helping you out on the grade control is big help
Congratulations guys. Awesome!
That is awesome! Has inspired me to take on a little project on my TLB to make life easier with grade control on it.
Congratulations to all involved!!!
I have to say how happy I am for you . It is great to see things work out for you. 😎
This went exceptionally well.
I can only congratulate you on a building well done by all of you.
DP, MBTS, NYAM and FD. I hope I did not forget anyone.
i was more and more excited as the days went on, over the moon for you. great job well done to the whole team that were involved.
We knew ya'll could do it. A great achievement by all. Well done!!! 🙂👍 🇮🇪
Congrats guys. Awesome job
Congratulations. You persevered and did it. When others said it couldn’t be done you proved them wrong. Just awesome.
CONGRATULATIONS .... an excellent outcome ... pay off for hard work and planning !!
How amazing is that great work by everyone involved so much fun to watch and learn. Stay safe
Nice job!!! Looks like you could use some weight on the front of the 850J while plowing the tile in. Pretty awesome!!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Great to finally see it in action after all that effort. superb job.
All your hard work payed off
Of course DP you still have plan B if you ever need it. Matt riding on the back with the grade pole telling you up or down. Lol God bless
Thomas that is a movie I'll pay for
One awesome bit of kit congratulations
Congratulations, to go from a thought to installing is a awesome feeling and achievement. Looking to the next video.
Absolute quality! Loved watching all the build and grading video. Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats!!! Nice to see it all work so well.
SUPER!!!!!!!!! Now that's it's all together and we've seen it in action, all the individual components of this build cohese. Mike, there's nothing better than coming up with an idea, formulating a way to make that idea work, and then building it. In a word, buddy, "I AM IMPRESSED!!!"
Great collaboration from start to finish! Really cool to see it in action!
Congratulations Mike that is a game changer for sure. Only see two problems, although good problems, everyone will need tile put in and when will you have time to other jobs. Wish you guys all the luck and stay safe.
Well done to all the guys and yourself for a great job, not too shabby indeed.
I couldn't be any happier for you and how well this tile plow is working, go lay some pipe bud !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome result! Very Cool!
That is pure perfection. Congratulations to you all. Great design on it all.
The smile on your face says it all. 🙂💯😊. Great build series!! Huge kudos to @FlaminDirt for the great technology. Congrats to everyone involved on a job well done. 🤟
A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing...
Congratulations to everyone involved on such a successful project!!!
Truly an entertaining series of videos to watch from building in the shop, to plowing in the field...
😎👍
And may l add Happy Mother's day to all the ladies...
