Mike, I keep looking back at this video. So far, it's one of my favorites with MBTtS giving you crap. The banter between you two is just priceless. Aaron is just so damn warm and fuzzy, you want to tuck him away in your pocket!!! That cat is an invaluable part of your team. Thanks again for the laughs and time well spent!
Reminds me of the time a buddy at work told me "I'm keeping your new motorcycle in my garage, in case anyone asks." 🤐 At least he didn't make a video admitting he bought another motorcycle, and it was six months before his wife asked my wife if I was ever going to come get my motorcycle.
Dirt Perfect and MBTS remind me of Abbot and Costello, every discussion is a variation of "who's on first". You and Matt over on Diesel Creek seem to have machine luck as everything you both trip over works with a little tinkering. Just put a big rock in the tractor bucket to balance it out and go mulching.
I found out the hard way, the welding sparks and molten bb's just bounce off office chair fabric and roll, plus your legs form a funnel that directs those hot sparks and molten bb's directly into a very sensitive spot. I still used the chair but I would sit as far forward as possible so the sensitive area was not vulnerable.
I'm looking forward to seeing you and Mrs Dirt Perfect on the TV Show, EXTREME RVs! Another Marriage Saved! And to comment on TMBTS chain, I would have first cut the steel off the back before attaching the chains to make it nice and flat against the back, before welding them back on!
if you have an old axle or even a bucket offa the excavators put it in the bucket of the tractor shes a tilter lookin to happen juuuust right angle an shes gona chew dirt an rocks leaning on the three point hitch so just for safe sake add a bit of weight to the front
Higher dollar machines have quick attach/detach. This one will take extra hands & patience. Find grease points before closing the doors. That U joint will need the grease.
Tou need to go find about a 100 acre clearing job so you can survive the ms. Dirt perfect rath . You must have paid a chunk for it in order for momma to be that mad . Good luck. I will say a prayer for you to survive this all
Man! I learned my lesson about impulse buying behind my wife’s back. Before cell phones... I was really bad about grabbing a snack at checkout, seeing a good deal at a yard sale or buying an extra one ‘just in case’. It was easy... just write a check! The truth was... As a result of my proclivity to waste money... we had a couple of checks bounce... the embarrassment of having to pick them up, in person, at stores in our small town was a sobering experience. We reasoned, you can’t pay for it if you don’t have the money. And, if you can’t pay for it... you won’t buy it! So, two things happened... 1. I started direct deposit of my paychecks. That robbed me of the extra walking cash at the drive up window on paydays. Instead, I was given a weekly allowance. 2. I quit carrying a checkbook. There was no such thing as a Debit Card. We couldn’t qualify for a credit card. Instead I was handed a single check when I was going to make a specific purchase. Did it work? Like a charm... to this day I get an allowance. Even though I am allowed a debit card... I have to get a receipt and lay it in a designated place for every purchase.... As a result, we’ve made it 47years as a married couple... and the one with the Business Degree, ain’t the one managing the bank account or handing out the allowance!!! Mikey... there’s no real lesson here... just a recounting of how I learned to reconcile... Happy wife = happy life!
I am so glad Mrs Dirt Perfect got a new Jeep. It would have been a country song if not...You Know, the one we're the wife, kids, dog leaves or you end up living in the Volvo. Don't mess with Human Resources Amigo. Lol. HOWEVER, You did pour concrete that helps keep Her out of Mud when groceries are taken in...;)
So let me get this straight.. The ONLY machine I own is a grey import tractor with around 30HP that is probably the best tool I have and YOU "find" a 75hp Case in the barn that hasn't been run in two years.. Way to rub it in my friend!.. Of course I'm retired and live on 5 1/2 acres, but gee my Wife won't even let me buy a backhoe attachment for it..:)
Rubber tires and brush do not mix well but it was a price driven decision on the Fecon, finding a used head for the Kubota would have increased the cost. A FTX128L used $155,000 if you could keep it busy on utility and pipelines would be great.
I noticed a lot of play in the input bearing of the upper right side drive shaft. That's what it looked like to me. I always enjoy when MBTS and you get together. What a comedy team you make. You should do "improve".
Brave turning that thing up first time over your brand new concrete! That thing is a beast, might be a bit of a challenge for that lil Case! Looking forward to seeing it in action! Thanks for the video!
HAH! DP doesn't have friends and helpers - he has enablers and accomplices. He also remind me of a former boss I had that rarely took a shine to my ideas no matter how well (or loudly) reasoned. :P
I just bought a big ol’ honkin’ 4WD Cornbinder like Logger Wade’s (except bigger, older, and uglier) along with a ten-ton dual tandem trailer AND a huge man lift, for good measure. My gf hit the ceiling and said “It’s either this old junk - or ME!!” I’m gonna miss her.......
Where is the skid steer mount hydraulically driven mulcher- lol That one you have to use with tractor in reverse and twist around uncomfortably but they do work! Use colored zip ties to label your hydraulic remotes!
We had a big rotavator that was too big for the tractor, and the front wheels would come off the ground when they hit a bump. No problem for tilling the soil, but down right dangerous when trying to steer it on the public highway. My dad used to dab the independent rear breaks to steer, and even that was marginal because the brakes were crap. I'm thinking we might be seeing something similar with this machine and tractor combo.
Love ur vidjas I do the same buy things like crazy from ebay and I love to take old stuff and make it better than before. U sir are awesome keep up the awesome work wished I was working with yall.
Something old now newish great team work .how about some paint on the new tool. One thing I cant figure out what that black bar in the rear of it does.
V-belt and son is another suggestion on who to chat with , He’s a wealth of knowledge and is as crazy as you lol, I bet it will Almost NEW WITH ANTI RUST PRIMER and CANDY APPLE RED ? BLACK RUSTOLIUM , MRS DIRT PERFECT will appreciate the EFFORT !!!
Weld the chains on an angle just like they are. The taper will glide over material much nicer. Also, less likely to bend or break when they hit something.
As skilled as MBTS is, I’m absolutely positive he could convert that 3 point to a quick connect for your skid steer. It’s a much easier operation if the unit is in front
Hay Mike, we think alike on the chain link thing. Getting into thick brush and bam the machine eats itself makes for a very bad day. Looks like you called the right guy (John-UBC) for information on that machine. Great video, so “keep um coming “.
Nice rehab. Just curious as why you don't power wash things like this Before working on them ? Seems like it would make it a little cleaner, easier. Thanks and thumbs up !
I’d like to convert some old 3ph implements into skid steer, like this one. No matter, new tools are awesome, just bought a new palidin sweepster broom for my Maxo loader. Parking lot needed it bad
That slop in the shafts are the U-joints wearing out, not trying to be a jerk but you should replace them with your press and replace the belts before they break on a job
Sweet looking old Chevy in the back ground. 350 automatic ? Or Is It very special ? Is that a 1972 Grill on it ? the last real chevy made No china metal on that year and before.
75 hp vs 85... you'll have to move slower while mulching. Put 400 lb of something in the bucket so the tractor sits more evenly on front and rear tires with that beast attached.
I see somebody already commented about now we know why Mr. Dirt Perfect (happily) purchased his darling wife a new Jeep! lol. But what she doesn't understand, or maybe she does...He who has the most toys (or attachments) WINS!!!! When I had my Takeuchi equipment, I had every attachment you could put on a skid steer, didn't know how to properly operate most of them, BUT by golly I had them!...hahaha. Convert the PTO shaft over to a hydraulic motor, put a skid steer plate on it where the 3-point hitch is, and hook it to the Kubota. Then you can be Down State Brush Control!
Mike, I keep looking back at this video. So far, it's one of my favorites with MBTtS giving you crap. The banter between you two is just priceless. Aaron is just so damn warm and fuzzy, you want to tuck him away in your pocket!!! That cat is an invaluable part of your team. Thanks again for the laughs and time well spent!
Thanks
Glad you are doing well enough to add to your equipment and help your business. Well done! Be safe and God Bless !
Reminds me of the time a buddy at work told me "I'm keeping your new motorcycle in my garage, in case anyone asks." 🤐 At least he didn't make a video admitting he bought another motorcycle, and it was six months before his wife asked my wife if I was ever going to come get my motorcycle.

You guys need to invest in some sunex jack stands, they're cheap and they have a set that reaches 46" high and holds ten tons
👍
@@DirtPerfect Yes- working on that thing hanging by a chain looked like helper is really expendable?
Now we know the rest of the story on why she got a new jeep lol !!!
Lol yup
Smart man
Or as it is more commonly known as a “Bobbitt”
Mr DP's smartest play would have been too have the new jeep sitting in the driveway when she got home.
The floor outside the garage came out nice. With Aloha from Hawaii...
Thanks
I found out the hard way, the welding sparks and molten bb's just bounce off office chair fabric and roll, plus your legs form a funnel that directs those hot sparks and molten bb's directly into a very sensitive spot.

Well, if Miss Jenna throws you out of the house you can come hang out in NC. You gotta bring MBTS though, I need some welding done. Lol. Yall be safe.
I wish some farmer could do a how-to on gracefully attaching 3-pt implements. I feel the struggle every time.
And the worst part is he has sliding bars on that machine
if you have an old axle or even a bucket offa the excavators put it in the bucket of the tractor shes a tilter lookin to happen juuuust right angle an shes gona chew dirt an rocks leaning on the three point hitch so just for safe sake add a bit of weight to the front
👍👍👍👍👍👍Teamwork are the best in the shop keep on rocking and knocking down the small trees
you can always use it to clear space for a dog house. having a comfy dog house can come in handy when purchases get ahead of income.
When Mrs DP sees this I guess a new camper will be ordered. Either that or you and Arron are toast! 🚐
😂😂😂😂
Think you’re going to want a piece of expanded metal in the roll bar. Those things throw a lot of debris.
Higher dollar machines have quick attach/detach. This one will take extra hands & patience. Find grease points before closing the doors. That U joint will need the grease.
Now I truly see what you meant on the podcast of buying sight unseen glad it works.
Looking forward to seeing the tractor 🚜 at work. Great 👍video 👍📹.
Thanks 👍
One orange mulcher for Mike, one yellow jeep for Jenna.... that there is yin and yang folks 🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Somebody should be watching the driveway to keep an eye out for Mrs DP!!😂👍🇺🇸
😳😝😂
It would be a "quick hide!!" Scenario lol
Tou need to go find about a 100 acre clearing job so you can survive the ms. Dirt perfect rath . You must have paid a chunk for it in order for momma to be that mad . Good luck. I will say a prayer for you to survive this all

Mikey... there’s no real lesson here... just a recounting of how I learned to reconcile... Happy wife = happy life!
Now all you need to do is to convert it over to hydrolic and make it fit the skid steer well within Arrons skill set 👍

Great video guy’s, love watching the two of you working together. Love the projects you get into. Good luck with the wife !

you two are to funny together. great work and vids. thanks guys.
Thanks
So fun watching
deep woods engineering
As long as you spend money on things that make money its considered a "business investment". You gotta spend money to make money 💰 💰 🤑
I noticed a lot of play in the input bearing of the upper right side drive shaft. That's what it looked like to me. I always enjoy when MBTS and you get together. What a comedy team you make. You should do "improve".
So when are you and MBTS retro fitting it for the JD Excavator?
from the Netherlands thanks for the video Mike and Aaron
It's a damn good thing you have Aaron around to keep your butt in line when your charming bride isn't around there brother!
Looks good from my house. Good video.
You work hard so there needs to be some rewards. Life is to short not to own a mulcher : ) . Cheers !
Oil spill on concrete use diesel to thin it cover with oil dry stir occasionally oil dry will draw oil out of concrete
Brave turning that thing up first time over your brand new concrete! That thing is a beast, might be a bit of a challenge for that lil Case! Looking forward to seeing it in action! Thanks for the video!
Dove soap and old car wash brush with a handle might get that oil out of the concrete. I know it does on asphalt because I have done that.
HAH!
DP doesn't have friends and helpers - he has enablers and accomplices.
He also remind me of a former boss I had that rarely took a shine to my ideas no matter how well (or loudly) reasoned. :P
Lol yup
It’s nice to see a proper tradesman on site 😊
I would hook up a high velocity pump up to where the p.t.o. shaft is and run it on the 120.
Concrete looks great.
Got to spend money to make it.
Nice find , all the fixes add character , great job man 😎
I just bought a big ol’ honkin’ 4WD Cornbinder like Logger Wade’s (except bigger, older, and uglier) along with a ten-ton dual tandem trailer AND a huge man lift, for good measure. My gf hit the ceiling and said “It’s either this old junk - or ME!!”
I’m gonna miss her.......
Mike look great. Fine job. Need to make an adapter for the skid steer.
Where is the skid steer mount hydraulically driven mulcher- lol That one you have to use with tractor in reverse and twist around uncomfortably but they do work! Use colored zip ties to label your hydraulic remotes!
Old snow chains are cheap,and they work well for guards.
We had a big rotavator that was too big for the tractor, and the front wheels would come off the ground when they hit a bump. No problem for tilling the soil, but down right dangerous when trying to steer it on the public highway. My dad used to dab the independent rear breaks to steer, and even that was marginal because the brakes were crap. I'm thinking we might be seeing something similar with this machine and tractor combo.
As a true dirt guy, you baptized the new concrete with holy oil.😁
It will work looks good did u look at one for skid steer to
Haven't watched it yet but this title is EPIC !!! Jenna's about to kick some DP-sasquatch butt ! :-D Let's go watch this right away !!!!!!
Perfect ! Let's take it to a job now boys. How about a bit of pchhhht pchhhhht can-paint on there to make it look nice and dandy ???
Dude, I love the work atmosphere you and your Co workers create...thank you so much for the knowledge you share and the entertainment you provide !!
Thanks
I'm going to cut up an old tire to use as debris deflector on a "rotary cutter" (brush hog) Cheap and easy.
That's a nice chevy in the back ground im a ford guy but I love old chevys too
I would consider a scatter shield! That thing will come in handy. I wouldn’t think they’d be so heavy
I hope you have a big doghouse to move in to!
You seen my shop 😝
Keep implement as low as possible under load to minimize pto drive line angles .
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect and Aaron
Love ur vidjas I do the same buy things like crazy from ebay and I love to take old stuff and make it better than before. U sir are awesome keep up the awesome work wished I was working with yall.
New toy alert!
That concrete is looking sharp too :)
Something old now newish great team work .how about some paint on the new tool. One thing I cant figure out what that black bar in the rear of it does.
V-belt and son is another suggestion on who to chat with , He’s a wealth of knowledge and is as crazy as you lol, I bet it will Almost NEW WITH ANTI RUST PRIMER and CANDY APPLE RED ? BLACK RUSTOLIUM , MRS DIRT PERFECT will appreciate the EFFORT !!!
EVERY home needs a Fecon! 🙂
Exactly
I think you will find the HP that you are referring to will be PTO hp, and not final drive HP.
Weld the chains on an angle just like they are. The taper will glide over material much nicer. Also, less likely to bend or break when they hit something.
As skilled as MBTS is, I’m absolutely positive he could convert that 3 point to a quick connect for your skid steer. It’s a much easier operation if the unit is in front
It's to wide for a skid steer
Just had one at my house on skid steer measured 76 inche
When I first saw the video I thought it was going to be about converting it over to skid steer use .
A skid steer doesn't have a pto to power the head???
It's to heavy for a skid steer.
This explains the vanper😂
You 2 are so comical!
You guys have the best working relationship ever
Good stuff guys from Phill and Sarah Parnham from New Zealand west coast 😊
Hay Mike, we think alike on the chain link thing. Getting into thick brush and bam the machine eats itself makes for a very bad day. Looks like you called the right guy (John-UBC) for information on that machine. Great video, so “keep um coming “.
Nice rehab. Just curious as why you don't power wash things like this Before working on them ? Seems like it would make it a little cleaner, easier. Thanks and thumbs up !
I cannot wait to see this in action! Great video Michael.
Thanks
I’d like to convert some old 3ph implements into skid steer, like this one. No matter, new tools are awesome, just bought a new palidin sweepster broom for my Maxo loader. Parking lot needed it bad
Might be a Crossover valve on the Tilt Ram for in case its forced back when pushin on a Log or Trunk
Looking forward to the next one, will it work yeh should do.
MBTS is absolutely right, those chains should have been cut all the same length !
I love Aron's 69 Chevy I used to have one and I miss it great video thanks for sharing have a great day and stay safe out there
Great job it will work just fine love your videos thank you
Thanks
That slop in the shafts are the U-joints wearing out, not trying to be a jerk but you should replace them with your press and replace the belts before they break on a job
Note to Mrs. DP: Mike says the only way to get him to listen is to get him extremely tired. BACK TO WORK!!! lol
Your gonna need a full on rv camper good luck
1:10 "Seems to be mostly in working order."
That's too far bad for someone to say "hold my beer."
Morning MBTS. Again to the rescue 😂😂
Remember the saying “measure once (on the table) cut a hundred times”.
I think that brush mulched might be a bit of a work out for the old 855 😂
Lol yup
Awesome, good job best welder 👍👍👍👍👍
Sweet looking old Chevy in the back ground. 350 automatic ? Or Is It very special ? Is that a 1972 Grill on it ? the last real chevy made No china metal on that year and before.
Nice old chevy truck , must belong to MBTS
Sure is my next project
75 hp vs 85... you'll have to move slower while mulching.
Put 400 lb of something in the bucket so the tractor sits more evenly on front and rear tires with that beast attached.
The 2nd chain from the left, IF I can count correct only has 8 links!
😂😂😂
MBTS "I'm flexible I can got either way" Well if you get a divorce the 2 of ya already argue like you're married so.......
But!!! I’m always right😂😂😂
good looking old chevy tuck the blue and white truck
Thank you sir that’s my new project 🤙🏻
Check that out Maggie , you might be living in the house and Mike may be staying in the dog box !!!! 😃
😂😂😂😂
Great video y'all have a great one and stay safe 👍
I see somebody already commented about now we know why Mr. Dirt Perfect (happily) purchased his darling wife a new Jeep! lol. But what she doesn't understand, or maybe she does...He who has the most toys (or attachments) WINS!!!! When I had my Takeuchi equipment, I had every attachment you could put on a skid steer, didn't know how to properly operate most of them, BUT by golly I had them!...hahaha. Convert the PTO shaft over to a hydraulic motor, put a skid steer plate on it where the 3-point hitch is, and hook it to the Kubota. Then you can be Down State Brush Control!
Working PTO Angle is 25 degrees apparently to avoid screwing up the Hardy Spicers
Now how about a good power wash and (perhaps) a quick pass with a spray gun and some old paint you may have around the shop somewhere.
