Take care of that body Alex. You only get one. Thank God for the helpful older guys I have come across and have helped me building my business and being good people. I could never do it without their help
With the kubota strainer, when you insert the nozzle, funnel, or whatever, make sure that you don’t punch out the bottom. The pieces from the filter collect in the tank, and then eventually clog the fuel system. We just got our mini ex back from the dealer for that problem
I love your happy go lucky friendliness. You make the world a better place. With all the craziness in the world it is great to see someone who is outwardly friendly and gets things done with a smile on his face. It’s infectious.
Funny story, after watching the first video of this job where you got stuck, I got an SSV65 stuck GOOD. Almost rolled it too. Long story short, I was operating above a retaining wall and ship went sideways. Wall sucked me right in. Luckily someone with bigger equipment offered to bail me out. That's always a humbling feeling for sure.
I’ve been in situations as Alex is in. Oh to be young and invincible again lol. He needs to give it time or he’ll end up like me, barely able to move. The monkey claw seems to work out pretty well. I’ll kick back and wait on the last video of this project. Keep up the good work !
Stan I must say that you and your crew do some of the greatest quality work I have ever seen! It’s great to watch as you rip out all of the garbage without missing a single bit! It is such a satisfying process to watch!
You should get one of those cat skid loaders with the remote so you can be outside of the skid loader and still run it or you should get a bob cat tool cat
Hope Alex's arm is getting better. Amazing work and thanks for sharing this with us take care Edited that monkey claw is amazing like you say the only thing I would change is the hoses
I can relate to what Alex was saying about not wanting to just stand around and point but I really like how you guys handled that situation. Better than learning the hard way like some of us. You care about all the employees and it shows. It was great to see the guy next door helping you out and that was a nice trailer setup he has.
I'm glad that you clarified the situation with Alex. I couldn't imagine one of your star team members getting booted by a customer. The Monkey Claw seems to be a very useful attachment. The upper claws remind me of something made to inflict destruction on remote control robots in a competition. In my opinion, it's as capable as the machine behind it. Definitely a thumbs up from me...
Stan, love your ethics in working with potential competitors. You all come out better cooperating and helping if needed. Continue to be impressed with what can be accomplished with a skid steer in the hands of a skilled operator. Good job! Nick, North West Farmer
I would shut my entire business down in a heartbeat, and move to come work for you brother. I love the diversity of your projects. I’m stuck in a cycle of brush and land clearing and gravel driveways. It’s the biggest demand in this area for us. I love retaining walls and paver patios etc etc....basically hardscaping. But not enough money in the area for a huge demand for it and the logistics to get the materials here are normally a extra cost that turns potential customers away from having it done. Not too mention me and the wife has been talking for two years about moving somewhere new. Lol anyways lots of love and respect to you, your crew and family!
A GMC work truck package and the Denali have the same powertrain. Same with Ford or Ram. The cabs just get fancier the more money you spend. My Chevy High Country pulls my dump trailer or skid steer just fine.
To answer your question about using fancy trucks for work, yep, I do! Lol. I use my Lexus RX350 to haul my mowers and blowers etc. the small stuff goes in the back and the big stuff goes on my trailer. Works out pretty well honestly. Plus I get all kinds of looks from not being “normal” lol
The fact that you and Johnny don’t always see eye to eye with each other is another thing that makes watching this channel an education in all topics and scenarios. Respect ✊ is a two way street , and that’s what counts. Thank you for sharing your great video with us all Sir 👍 Tam.
All my trucks are fully loaded! Comfort is a must, I use everyday I want to have a office on wheels but we all gotta start somewhere my first trucks weren't fully loaded! But after years of hard work is nice to hop into something comfy after a long day!
Stan, the reason I watch you’re channel is because you are not a Douce and you hire men who are also not Douce bags. Seeing what you can do with what you have, with the quality you provide constantly inspires me to do better than I did yesterday. To be honest in my work, and be patient with people. Thank you for being an inspiration.
Alex take it easy. I injured my wrist on a volunteer job. It took two to three weeks to heal. I had taken it easy Fri. thru Sunday. I watched UA-cam and operated my zero turn. Get well soon.
Also having a bad sensor like that at least in bmws will cause the ac not not work correctly. The car thinks it’s crazy cold and will only run the ac for a short period of time and shut it down. Giving the impression of short cycling.
@@FishFind3000 fords aren't that smart with the ac. I did have a bad ecm coolant sensor reading -40 all the time when I bought it. It wouldn't run when warm because it was running way to rich thinking it was cold.
Props to you. That's exactly the guy I also don't want to be. I wish I could help everyone I ran across. It doesn't work out that way but in a perfect world it would.
I use trucks as trucks. Currently own a lifted 1989 Chevy K1500 regular cab short bed that is used to tow my 5th wheel. Its a small 26 foot 5th wheel but most people think the truck will implode if you tow a 5th wheel with a half ton.
Hopefully he learned from getting sent home, I understand his point but he knows you guys are looking out for him!! The neighbors are awesome for helping you also, most people wouldn't even bat an eye unfortunately!!
I like the monkey claw. I think it be good to dig up trees with. Like the Kubota skid steer wish I had a track machine myself. Have a great day be safe.
Re Denali as work truck: Boss leases a Denali for 3 years then his company buys the truck off the lease program and the boss gets a new lease unit. The leases are expensed and the used purchase is an accelerated write off. Win-win.
Quick conversation on efficiency; you know your job better than I do but had this been me I would have had the dump trailer parked near the dirt pile and been back hauling the concrete out while tracking the dirt in
Glad to see you pulled Alex off before he does more damage to his Arm as a guy that had 3 rotator cuff surgeries, it’s not fun, and the more he uses it Stanley the worse it’s gonna get, get him into the doctors and getter fixed
Love the shot facing up towards you in the skid steer. Cool seeing a new angle of the bucket arms operating. THANKS Dirt Monkey Stanley. Fan for now...naaaahhhh, Fan always. Keep up keepin' up with..., Hell, your setting the standard.
I would have said no as well on the $200 question, but with a twist. Since you're not wanting dirt left in the road each day, and you know your going to work that dirt before you go home, send the dump driver to get the last load of dirt but park the truck until the next day so you have the dirt first thing and have a jump start on the next day's progress.
From what I've seen the Monkey claw is a huge step up from what is commercially available. Maybe a vibrator function added? Shaking the dirt loose has got to be hard on the valves. I'm surprised at then strength it has.
It’s fun to watch you all run the skid steers I got my first on in 2014 and I have been using from time to time doing small side jobs. I’m planning on going full in next year in may.
Man I love watching your videos. But they make me miss running light and heavy equipment. But I’m disabled now so that no longer a possibility. So I’ll just have to watch your videos and pretend I’m running the equipment myself. Great work and keep up the hard work. Except Alex. Tell him to take care of that shoulder it’s not fun not being able to use your shoulder. I know mine doesn’t work anymore due to a multi trama accident. P.s. love the monkey claw.
I use my Denali on our property and haul everything a 1/2 ton can with in reason. I had the truck before we bought land. I won’t buy another fancy truck again other than the 6.2L motor. Don’t care for the wheels and no one wants to do a small level lift with the magnetic ride system on it or will do it correctly. Just a good deal on the left over body before the 2019 body came out. 🤷🏻♂️
Skidsteers are so inefficient as a lot of task in ground work... grading they are awesome and that’s about it. They mulch good also.. Excavator is choice .. coupled with a skiddy, now we are rocking
@@Dirtmonkey I did landscaping for 11 years, learned as I went but wish I could have had someone like you to really learn from. I'm working part time at a grocery store now.
Always like your vids. So I thought I'd share something that helps me out here and there called, ' I don't always see." and it goes like this. I don't always see when I see what I see. To be able to grasp a moment, open my eyes and my mind a bit wider and bring what I find inside me a bit deeper. Just might make for a bit of a better day. Why? Because? I don't always see when I see what I see. Jekelex Hope y'all have a better day, lol.
I hate when a contractor buried trash on a landscape job. You dont know about the trash being buried . We plant sod over the trash. Three years later the sod is doing very poorly where the building contractor buried 15 tons of trash on the job site instead of burning it or hauling the trash off site. I had to deal with this promble alot of times on different home sites over the years.
I live in Minnesota and don't recall it being -40F. Either the ambient temp sensor is bad, or there is a special world climate surrounding your truck but only near that sensor.

@@jennifersmith842 Hi Jennifer. I am doing better than I deserve. Thank you for asking.
@@farmerbob4554 welcome hun you have a nice profile do you mind if we get to talk more off here
1:45 -40 is the default lowest temperature. Basically your ambient air sensor (normally in the grill area) is junk or wiring issue.
Also having a bad sensor like that at least in bmws will cause the ac not not work correctly. The car thinks it’s crazy cold and will only run the ac for a short period of time and shut it down. Giving the impression of short cycling.
@@FishFind3000 fords aren't that smart with the ac.
I did have a bad ecm coolant sensor reading -40 all the time when I bought it. It wouldn't run when warm because it was running way to rich thinking it was cold.

Proper job Stanley ✊✊✊✊✊👍😎🏴☠️🇬🇧
Great work guys God bless
Some states have laws where dumping your dirt or anything in the road is illegal.
some cities in minnesota are like that. In fact this site was one of those cities. Thats why we had to broom clean the street right away.
I used to run a 3500 Denali doing hotshot work with a 53' gooseneck
hauling in style! but man a 53' trailer is a beast!
Quick conversation on efficiency; you know your job better than I do but had this been me I would have had the dump trailer parked near the dirt pile and been back hauling the concrete out while tracking the dirt in
Good tip except the dump trailer doesn't haul enough to make it as efficient as the dump truck.
The columns to support the walk around the pool is a trademark of Custom Pools
Glad to see you pulled Alex off before he does more damage to his Arm as a guy that had 3 rotator cuff surgeries, it’s not fun, and the more he uses it Stanley the worse it’s gonna get, get him into the doctors and getter fixed
You should make the bottom slotted so it lets more dirt fall when you’re shaking it.

Boom! Thats what we ended up doing. "preloading" for the next day. Just hope it doesn't rain and get your load wet.

I don't know if it make sense to dump on a tarp in the road. Probably need a street sweeper when you're done.
yeah- we just used a power broom to clean up.
A lot of work with that monkey claw looks like it handled things great and looks like it's fun to operate
I was Alex 50 years ago. 2 shoulder replacements in last 6 months. fun.
It is amazing how fast you can make that skid loader do its work. Color me impressed.
Ive had some practice😃👍. much appreciated👊
Who doesn’t wanna run a skid steer?
good question!
Me, I get bored running a machine all day long. I like to be getting dirty doing hand work n running a skid steer as needed

Im getting bald for my troubles lol. Take care and stay safe👊
Man that pool was well built
Outstanding transformation and love the monkey claw.

From what I've seen the Monkey claw is a huge step up from what is commercially available. Maybe a vibrator function added? Shaking the dirt loose has got to be hard on the valves. I'm surprised at then strength it has.
