I agree Mike, I always go to my brothers to do stuff for him. He is married with 3 kids and I have the equipment and the time so there’s nothing wrong with helping a family member, or a friend for that matter. Don’t always need something in return or have them there helping.
Q
Good Sunday morning
I enjoy the humor and self depravation! Sarcasm is a great asset. 😊
12:59 🤣🤣 Nice job cleaning up the entrance and getting the ditch and road started. Don't worry about viewers wondering why your brother isn't helping just enjoy doing what you do with and for each other. A few loads of chirp and a culvert should make all the difference in that muddy mess area. Looking forward to watching it. Another great video. Thank you Capt. 👍
I said it once and I'll say it again, these 55 series John Deere's are awesome units. I'm actually looking for a 955 to be big brother to my 855.
You are making me lust for a 755! Going better in mud now w/ tire mods. I’m dying to see a cold start after new glow plugs.
Mike, you're really showing off what you can do without heavy equipment! All I'm thinking about is hurry up and finish the Ford! WOW
The old John Deere is doing a Hell of a Good job..This is what FAMILY DOES. Well USED TOO DO ANYHOW...Great Job Mike it's looking Good...The 555 will be able to come in and put the pipe in. And knock a few trees down. That will get them all EXCITED...LMAO.... 😂😂😂😂 Great Video Sir...
"Organic rebar" I truly laugh out loud when I heard that. Going to have to use that one at work someday with your permission. Keep up the awesome work.
I busted out a grin too!
Let me add on. It was one of his best…at least until the next one
You are a True Gentlemen and a Scholar, I too am Familiar with the Family Dynamic here in South Central Pa., your Brother is a Lucky Man to have been Blessed by the Creator for a Brother as Yourself. I Sincerely mean that, I’ll catch you on the Next one and have No Doubt that’ll be the Nicest Driveway on the Block 😂
I like helping any person then getting help myself. Family friend anyone.
Thinking the questions are just a matter of understanding. When I say I’m going to help someone, I think of both of us working together. If I say, I’m helping out by doing it for them, I understand that I’m doing it by myself.
Is it perfect? No. Are we gonna do it like this? Yes. ❤👍💪
YES! Looking forward to seeing the 555 getting some working time in the woods.
I can't argue with your choice of equipment to do the work...
I used a 25 hp tractor to dig out 2.5 acre feet of dirt to make a pond.
Yuppers, Captain you're dead on right about using what you got instead of complaining about what you don't.
That said, this is one time it'd be good for you to have the 555 there doing the heavy work.
Well, you did mention having the 555 out there eventually.
I'm sure it'll be a game changer for you.
That 2500hd looks really good with the custom bumpers
Mine and my husband's family is the same way. We help if they need it and they don't have to be there. When we had our pond widened, my brother was out at the property when we weren't there. We have done stuff for family without them being there.
If we don’t have our family….who does. Good on you. 👍🇺🇸
Not sure why people are worried about Tony not being there to help you work on his property.
I guess some people just can’t grasp the meaning of help without it being a reciprocal transaction.
There is video proof of Tony helping you and as you mentioned he helped you a lot when you were building your house but I’m sure if that hadn’t happened you’d still be there helping.
I think your land plane is doing a good job for what it is, and the little John Deere is holding its own considering how small it is. Keep up the great work and paying your brother back.
I’ve said it before and I’ll keep saying it, you Mike are by far one of the most decent , hard working, resourceful, skilled people I know of ! Love your attitude , work ethics ( your work is always excellent , at the very least the best it can be with what you have available , resourceful ) and sense of humour . You and your brother are clearly decent/loyal to each other the way it should be 👍 You totally deserve all of your successes ! A new Captain Kleeman episode always brightens my evening . Gratitude for your excellent channel and respect from a loyal subscriber in Britain 👍🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
Thanks!
Love the way you deal with the ignorant internet knowitalls. :-) Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Impressed with the Deere and the drag. Just shows what you can do with the right attitude.
That’s what families do. Helping each other!! And family, doesn’t always mean blood family.
You are awesome thank you for my Sunday morning video. I give you a lot of credit because you help your brother and your brother helps you. That's how it should be!
@Captain Kleeman - If the road/driveway is muddy in spots, you can take the long thin logs and saplings and lay them across the driveway, making a corduroy road or log road.
It's an old technic that uses the surrounding small trees as a road base or filler to raise a road above wet areas so horses, wagons, and people could travel without getting stuck.
I'm always amazed how good you can make things look with that 755. Compact tractor with a utility heart. 🚜
That was absolutely AWESOME Captain Chuckles !! 🤣😂🤣
thanks
I still love your sense of humor... Organic rebar. Classic. I have a John Deere 2305 and love it. One thing that was a game changer for me in terms of digging with the bucket was a tooth bar (I believe I got it from Heavy Hitch). I got a Standard Duty Tooth Bar as that is what fit on my cutting edge. The price depends on width of Tooth Bar - but around $425 - $500 for Standard Duty. Thought I would mention it in case you hadn't heard of them. I know your budget doesn't allow you to buy all the toys you probably would like to have - just wanted to let you know how much I love mine.
Cap’n I don’t have forks for my baby tractor… but after finding out they have a ‘rock mode’, I am definitely interested!!! It seems like every time you bring out that 755 Swiss Army Knife it gains another blade.
Looks to me like brother Tony may have a gold mine on his hands… the 755 kneaded that clay to the perfect consistency for a potters wheel… it sells for $5 per pound at my local art supply. At our local farm store, a bag of pond seal clay sells for $6. And… of course… when the sun comes out and bakes those ruts, he can sell world famous 755 Tire Impressions and make a mint.
Cap’n, it’s alookin’ good!
It never came to mind that your brother wasn't there until you mentioned it. All I had to go on was you said you'd help him out. I guess us Hoosiers think differently when it comes to helping family...
If you want to be happy, help someone. Brothers are even better. God bless you Mike. Organic rebar, that's a good one.
An awesome answer on family dynamics 👏👏👏
Ok, I am not a regular but you got me laughing good with that "organic rebar" comment. Thanks for the chuckle.
As a young lad, I was reminded constantly to use what you got. If you need something, first try to adapt something or make something with what you got. Never buy brand new if you have to buy. And IF you have to buy, make sure it's something you be able to put to great use.
Having said that; at 66 I finally bought an actual new welder!!
Never heard it called organic re bar. I am going to steal that. Nice job.
Nice job Mike! The whole idea of helping others seems to be less and less common nowadays. That’s what’s wrong with our world. I always try and help people ,especially my family!! Keep doing the right thing…there’s not many of us left!
Always good to see family pitching in to help one another and this is a major improvement. Keep it going.
Organic rebar! That's funny. I was watching Perkins Builder Brothers and they were throwing scrap steel in a concrete pour calling it "free bar"
Family first is my motto, I love the fact you will be there for family without them having to join you. Something I would 100% do for mine. You are not alone 👍🏻” if you can you should and expect nothing in return because if you cannot do for family who can you do for?”
One determinate in whether or not a task will be successful is knowing your tools and machines, and using them to their maximun capabilities. You showed that to be true in this episode. Dood job, 'capn!
You're having too much fun. Thanks for posting.
No joke, I ran over my two week old Stilh 360 Pro, with the Case 450 Dozer, and it was a $625 saw at the time and smashed to smithereens! I was not happy! My saw dealer loved it! Great video! Lee
Mike, can’t say enough about your videos. Don’t know if it’s your smile or enthusiasm or the banter between yourself or just plain interesting? I bet it’s all of them, huh? No better operator in the world than you, you put that 755 through its paces like a pro. Thank you and keep them coming, all interesting.
The banter....it's like Capt Kleeman hitting 400 nails in in one go. "Organic rebar" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
As for working for/with your family - most will already know/understand....not all families are perfect (if that's the right word).
Not saying Capt Kleeman's is perfect but like many of his 'creations' his family, from the foundations up, seems like it's built to last
Whilst my own family collapsed and rotted away because the 'foundations' were built crooked and with poor substance....that's life
You do well with the, Run what you Brung situation. 555 will definitely make the work easier on the big ole trees.
"Organic Rebar"........love it!!!
I am still AMAZED at the traction you get with those tires on that J.D. in that mud!!!
Nice job bud!
Keep up the good work. Thats what I do help my brothers and sisters without any questions asked.
There's nothing wrong with paying forward especially with your brother. He was there for the yacht floor pour and many other times we haven't seen I'm sure. That road showed a huge improvement!
Organic rebar - I think you just coined a new phrase!
The JD tractor definitely more than capable of getting this driveway project done. I know it’s a run what you brung operation. But a box blade does wonders. Specially backing up and pushing with it.
That's a great idea
I love it. Do with what you have. Besides if you did it right the first time, might as well sell the tractor. We all like to play in the dirt. Little tractor work every year.
Keep it up
You remind me of me. Building road with a little tractor. My Kubota B7500, 21hp is too small the experts told me, but 1500' of road later I proved them wrong. That clay gumbo is a nightmare, ask me how I know. I learned there is only one way to tame it: road cloth. Probably out of the budget but the second option is large 3-4" road base rock. Also, I find my box blade is the wonder tool. Set the cutting edge angle right and you can either cut or smooth the ground, and bulldoze in reverse. Can even cut a ditch by adjusting the 3-point arms. Also I feel bad for you with those slick tires. I run R1 ag tires and don't regret it. But you know what you're doing and the result proves it. Looks great!
Awsome job on the driveway. You and the 755 are quite a team. That thing is “the little engine that could” if ever there was one! Thanks for the ride.
The thumbnail message is great! Should put it on every thumbnail! 😂
😂
Hater will be haters they hate themselves so they want you to join in with there missable life.
You keep going and doing what you do. It’s real life and a lot of use enjoy how u make it work.
Keep it up macgyver
💪
The amount of work you get done with that little 755 really surprises me.
You certainly can get a lot done with that tractor!
Capt you are right about the help a brother out thing I’m 1 of 4 & if a call goes out for help we dig in, I to spent a year going a hour 1/2 each way every weekend to help my brother build his home. 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍 great content & funny as normal
Everybody’s family is the “normal” family. Some are just better at being “normal”.
For family it's paid for
Good job
💪
Hi mike!
Organic Rebar!! That’s so funny, never heard that one before!! Jerry...UK
It's a impressive what you can achive with that little green machine👍
Easy peezy
hello mike its is randy and i like your is cool and super john deere thanks friends randy
I made it in a video!!! Great explanation and example to use it on!
Well you always have to do for family I think you're doing alright if the mud doesn't get you first great video thanks Mike
'Organic rebar' love it. Little tractor did a great job and all looks ready for access - nearly. Funny really, never wondered why your brother wasn't there - that's families looking out for each other - same in mine growing up.
Hi Mike , 2 things , 1 , some concrete on your drag , check DP's waste pile . 2 , I'm surprised you had to even explain about your brother.
I cannot believe how much work you get done with that little tractor. I grew up on a farm where a 30 hp tractor was “too small” for most jobs. You are a great operator!
First and last comments on this video: I don't care where your brother is or what he's doing...good video
2) Unique camera angles: it must be a pita to move that camera so many times-thanks for sharing
3) I almost came up to Indy from Louisiana after that log almost hit me/us 😄
and of course: 👍
I have said a few times before band say it again that 755 always impressed me it may have something to do with the operator to nice work Captain 👩✈️ 👍👋🇨🇦
My favourite part of watching your channel is the funny quotes you use.
“Run whatcha brung”
“Organic rebar”
I’ll think of more later
Great vid as always. Run what you brung !! Keep doing what you do. Thanks
"is it perfect? No. Is it what we're doin'? yeah" Sounds like a t-shirt logo to me.😁
Mike, in my opinion you're spot on about brothers & family. From a family of 4 brothers apart from my wife the are always the first go to source for help. Nothing owed just what we are, it wouldn't seem right otherwise. Dumb question (my most common) now that you have worked your tractor after re- grooving the tires, are noticing a difference? Thanks for taking the time to share.
Definitely a difference
mud mud mud, same here, did some log moving to the mill and claean up my self... it sure will be nice when gets here and stays..
You have made a massive difference on that road today. Wow!
For a little tractor, you make it work. That is why you need to get that 755 running.
The little tractor that could!
Hi you know for someone who does so much so wrong you explain it so well🙃.And as for your brother not being there to help you do his work (not that it is my or any body’s business) I just assumed you being in the fire serves and working shifts, he was at work when you were not. Keep up the good work. 👍🐝🌞
I always am amazed at the people that tell others that they should buy or rent something to do a particular job but don't buy it or rent it for them😉. They really like spending other people's money cause it don't cost them anything. 👍 Your land plane doohicky does a good job. Maybe you should build a corduroy road in that muddy place😵💫. Your brother certainly has enough trees for it, LOL. Yeah when it comes to doing work for family, sometimes you need help, other times they are just in the way and it's just quicker to go do it yourself when you don't actually need a extra pair of hands. I mean what would your brother be doing while you are playing on the tractor? The big address rock that wasn't, LOL.
Thanks for the examples of how to get things done with what you got.
I love the run what you brung approach. It show the more realistic abilities of what a homeowner can do with affordable tools and equipment. Keep up the good work.
Right on
All I can say is…… Good Job!
A slightly dull blade on your saw is far better than whatever Camerata did to his saw on his latest video.
Mike I agree with you going to your brothers and healthy is always a good thing my brother's over 2000 miles away the 10 thing that you should say is your days off for different than his days off because you are a fireman so you have to do what you can do when you have the days off and he can do what he has to do on his days off sometimes they won't close inside but they work okay this is Bob from Vero Beach Florida God bless have a great day and stay safe please
Awesome video Mike. Always relaxing. Great to see how you handle everything. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim!
Captain you need to get a set of bolt on teeth for your bucket. I did for my 1025R and it made such a big difference in digging.
Those dang vines, they tangle everything
Your family dynamic sounds good. Besides, it's not my business.
That’s a pretty darn good half butted ditch.😂
Looks better by the day!
Organic rebar it’s funny I like it😂
Like how the hammer keeps showing up in different places. Lol
I agree to Mike. Family is family, and if they need help, they need help! I thought everyone was the same!
Cleaning up real nice Captain.
I assume - as a fellow firefighter - your “weekend” probably doesn’t coincide with what is considered normal, the standard Saturday/Sunday thing. It’s the price you pay. You gotta help when you can!
Love the videos! Don’t take the comment section too seriously - think of it as your own personal circus 🤡!
You keep doing your thing! If it works for you and your family then that's fine
Captain thanks for sharing! Kevin
ORGANIC REBAR, LOVE THE TERM, LOL
