I really enjoyed MBTS and you back together I miss him in your videos. To bad Aaron has to eat and provide for his family he could be there more. Great Video Be good be happy be safe
Was great to see Aaron again. It is always great having him there and working with Mike. Good to see Matt there as well, as you are all getting the big mean green machine taken care of and back to working order. taken it you replaced the Hydraulics as well?? wondering how Jerry is gonna take to the extra controls..??Like the idea of the marking on the digger, and thinking engraving is the best way to go..on the chair just put on differtent colored zip ties on it!
Okay. The Keystones Cop type music seemed so appropriate. Lol love watching you guys work together. If you can’t have fun and get a job done , it’s almost not worth it.
Hey Mike should you install gusset plates to help strengthen those welds, probably set the gusset plates on a slight angle to keep dirt from building up on the gusset plates which will cause rust issues, you guys did an awesome job engineering that plow & putting it together, and seeing how well it put pipe in the ground, I sooo enjoy your videos, keep them coming thanks Mike
Was my first thought as well... Aaron knew those welds should have been stick welded.. I know he works power plants, but wonder if he is qualified for the nukes?? If so, HE KNEW they should have been stick welded!!! Getting checked off by those engineers will make a grown man cry!!!
Hey Guys, I'm not an engineer but give some thought to a bottom plate added to where you just welded it back together WITH the gussets these guys mentioned. It's obvious the base needs a lot more strength.
Paint the chain and the back of the plow bright yellow and every foot and chain link in black. You'll be able to see it even on the darkest of day's. 😘👍
Love the banter, workplaces these days are to clinical just retired and my favourite days were working in the post office over 35 years ago when you were allowed to be an individual and not confirm to what everyone else wanted.
Mike will never have to say "Let's cut twice and weld three times." BTW that red bracket is not to hold a fire extinguisher. It is for the emergency 2 liter Pepsi.
Idea for marking the chain, on big ships the anchor chain is painted different colors at strategic points (1ft, 2 ft, etc). All you have to do is see which color is touching ground to know where you are. Blast one link every ??? easy peasy.
👍👍👍 The tile plow is a beast MTB has to warrant his work, I mean he's the man Right? You guys are great to watch together makes my morning coffee much sweeter.
Mike great video. and I watched it all Arron knows his welding. and you are good at designing and that is why I watch your site, you and Arron work well together
im so late getting here been bizzy. got me a big smile seeing mbts and him grinding on ya. such fun time watching ya fix a little weak point. cheers guys.
Welcome back MBTS hope you will get more time in the future to work with DP… you are a good team together… arguing like a couple super fun but still serious work being done…
Good catch on the cracked welds! MBTS singing was better than mine, I couldn`t carry a tune if it was in a bucket! lol I have used those same kind of man-scissors myself! Take care
Great video 👍 Good catch on the pre check inspection,the saying is "it's only as strong as the weakest part"but improvements are on going nice to see Mbts😅
Thanks Mike, seeing the three um Amigo's working together was great fun! You did a great job designing and fabricating your in cab equipment shelf. There is likely to be some vibration noise in the cab but you can mitigate that by using some 3/8s rubber automotive hose, slice it length wise so it slides over the contact point of the stand and the dozer. I sure appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. Thanks from Canada
Love the changes, I would suggest taking like a 1/2 “ dim. Drill bit and make reference marks / indent dots for depth markers then paint them with glow paint. 2 for 2 ft. 3 for 3 ft. And so on. Just suggestion.
Far as marking Depth gage on your Digger, if what you have now doesn't work out, considered buying some stencils and bright spray paint. They come in many different sizes. For best visibility, use 4"-6" size numbers & high contrast paint. Canary or fluorescent yellow should be great against Olive green? Love this group of Amigos. What a hoot ya'ii can be!
So nice to see MBTS back he is a hoot your so blessed to have such great friends and Matt as a employee sure takes the stress out of everyday life when you know they are there and have your back 😁👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I learned an important safety tip today. If you're taller than your weld area a ball cap works fine but if you're shorter than your weld a full face shield is the way to go.
Hey Aaron, talking about perfect, I was talking to Mike the other day and he told me that until quite recently, he was convinced that he was perfect! It ends up that he thought that he had made a mistake …but he hadn’t!
Instead of using velcro on the joystick... Step 1.) unscrew the bottom plate of the joystick. Step 2.) check for clearance issues to install 2 or 3 small bolts*. (I'm thinking a #6-32 nut and bolt combo sold in most stores). Step 3.) drill 2 - 3 small holes in the joystick plate and metal plate, so that they line up. Step 4.) insert 2 - 3 small bolts pointing downwards in the joystick plate. Step 5.) reattach the bottom joystick plate with the screws you removed in step 1. Step 6.) run the bolts through your plate with holes and tighten down with nuts, washers, and split washers. *(Note - machine screws, bolts, etc.. Also- use stainless if used in a wet area.)
Hi from uk Mike and crews👋👍 its amazing the plough never fully separated seeing that stress in the weld😵 but you got it sorted and hope no more issues am just pleased you inspected it 👍 control unit looks like it was always meant to.be in cab now did good job on that but you just be careful with those fixings (we both know how you and stray fixings kinda loose each other in the moment😂🙈) many more good jobs to come for the attachment tho 👌great guys, thanks for your your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing... Glad to see you found and fixed a problem, as well as the upgrades with the plow... Also nice to see the man behind the scenes again also!! Very nice video... 😎👍
I see Aaron in a Kiewet Sweatshirt. In the 60's my dad worked for Pete Kiewet and Sons in western South Dakota where they were building Minuteman Missile Silos. He was responsible for radio communications.
I love it Aaron was making noises, and he said just ignore the guy. I say yep it's just a welder you probably set himself on fire again. He'll be okay he's used to it. I love the way you guys work together
Solution to marking depth on back side of plow; 1) grind a horizontal line 1/8” wide and deep enough that paint in groove won’t wear off 2) grind a slanting line from left edge of 2’ lint to right side of 3’ line. Repeat this between all horizontal lines 3) grind a hash mark on slant lines where it is 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 away from left edge 4) paint horizontal lines and slanting line from 2’ line and 3’ line bright red, repeat with different color for other lines When plowing, if ground level crosses slanting line at the 1/4 from left side of red line, plow is approximately 2’ 3” deep. If ground level crosses red slanting line 1/2 way from left side of plow, plow is 2’ 6” deep. If ground level crosses red slanting line 3/4 way from left edge, plow is 2’ 9” deep. Hope this solves your depth indicator issue.
Looks good and user friendly. The nice thing about paint is not only does it look good, it's also easier to spot cracks. Nothing is indestructible, sooner or later things will break. Thats life. Could you use the chain as a "measuring tape" when the paint lines wear off? Keep smilin.
I agree with Aaron, the mager parts need to be stick rod, Being an oilfield field exray welder of 35 years. Depends on the structure connection, some can Be squirted with wire. Others most definitely needs to be stick rod or dual shield. I would say you need horizontal gusset at the bottom of where the cracks were. For sideload force when plowing in a curve. FYI.
Good to see the crew back together again… even if only a fleeting glance at the Cap’n! With the official guarantee of MBTS warranty work… I think you can safely say, “That ain’t goin’ anywhere!” I liked your controller module. It’ll be so much easier to setup, use and take down! Just one question… “How come you didn’t test its fit with the extinguisher in the comment generator?” LOL Fortunately, you were able to take advantage of Mr Millenial’s BS of Velcrology from Hook & Loop University. Without that, you’d needed to issue a Public Service Announcement when your PSA failed! Everyone needs someone who has BS to help, every now and again!! Thanx Mikey, for the giggles.
Whomever came up with the 2.5 inch hose to shroud the hydraulic lines...kudos!!! The fix, the internal mounting bracket, the drag chain and marking lines on the back...so many practical improvements to tweak the brilliant initial concept continues to pay off. Impressive!!!
Welcome back Aaron still the man, hope is all well bud. Think the project fault is in Mike's cost cutting measures to keep it with in budget and not Aaron's fabricating or welding. We all already know that. Great videos fellas as always be well.
For Matts measurement idea on the back if the ripper, you could always paint the 1 foot block between the 2&3 and the 4&5 a different colour. Either black so its not too obvious or go full HiVis yellow/Orange so that way you know the bit where the 2 colours meet is the foot marker. The paint seems to be holding up well on the back of the ripper so it should stay good for a while.
I was having trouble welding my clamshell bucket together and making it stay. My friend who works for a large welding company told me to get rods that were rated as high as my welder could handle. He made me weld it three times, one down either side and one in the middle. He said it is the strength of the metal in the rod that does the actual holding because I doubt that you can heat that metal hot enough to make it flow from one metal to the other like you can with smaller metal. Turn the heat all the way up as if you are welding railroad tracks and get the strongest rods you can. Now, on a lighter note, I told you previously where it was going to break, and it did. It gives me no comfort to be right! You are underestimating the extreme stress that the plow has on it. That huge plate that you have at the top, put another plate just like it on the bottom!
I bet these welds behind the scenes will hold up much better! Love the Portable Control Center Console sumthin sumthin thingamajiggers. Plow away guys, plow away!
Mike, you guys are the Poster Child delegates for American Ingenuity and Backyard Engineering.... it's folks like you, your entire circle of friends and acquaintances on an off YT... that Make America Great Always! 👏🏽👍🏼☺️
3M Dual-Lock tape will work for the joystick. It has a very strong, stiff lockup which should not work loose from a bumpy ride, while still allowing you to remove it by hand prying.
Have you thought about putting a mark on the end of the pin so you know the hole position as you drive it in? This way when you have it out more so you can twist it easier.
How nice it is to have "the comedy hour " back....made my night.
The best part of this video was seen Aaron,Man Behind the Seen doing well, love having and seeing him around! Great work Dirt Perfect !
Yes, he's THE man behind the scenes. The other guy is def not. Mom says if you can't say something good......well.
Crickets for MM.
I really love that you guy's modify your equipment to work for what you do! Makes for fun video's as well!
Wow, look at that day Matt, Aaron and you all together again, great video we’ll see you on the next one. Thank you.
I really enjoyed MBTS and you back together I miss him in your videos.
To bad Aaron has to eat and provide for his family he could be there more.
Great Video
Be good be happy be safe
It is fun watching three best buddies working together.
Mike it's a joy to watch you Matt and Aaron working together.
Thanks
Matt always entertaining watching you and Dustin, I cannot wait for the next one.
Was great to see Aaron again. It is always great having him there and working with Mike. Good to see Matt there as well, as you are all getting the big mean green machine taken care of and back to working order. taken it you replaced the Hydraulics as well?? wondering how Jerry is gonna take to the extra controls..??Like the idea of the marking on the digger, and thinking engraving is the best way to go..on the chair just put on differtent colored zip ties on it!
Okay. The Keystones Cop type music seemed so appropriate. Lol love watching you guys work together. If you can’t have fun and get a job done , it’s almost not worth it.
Had been wondering about MBTS…, the opening scene of MBTS…, his laugh & smile are like no other…, and loved hearing & seeing him…
Excellent work Mike, Aaron, and Matt.
We always used 1/8" 110/18 for high stress areas on rock quarry equipment. Enjoy the videos and your channel, great content Mike and crew.
Great seeing this video after watching the latest tile plow upgrades. Very impressive, love the can do attitude!
Thanks
Hey Mike should you install gusset plates to help strengthen those welds, probably set the gusset plates on a slight angle to keep dirt from building up on the gusset plates which will cause
rust issues, you guys did an awesome job engineering that plow & putting it together, and seeing how well it put pipe in the ground, I sooo enjoy your videos, keep them coming thanks Mike
I was thinking the same.
@@nanettebarling1222 box it
Was my first thought as well... Aaron knew those welds should have been stick welded.. I know he works power plants, but wonder if he is qualified for the nukes?? If so, HE KNEW they should have been stick welded!!! Getting checked off by those engineers will make a grown man cry!!!
Same thought here
Hey Guys, I'm not an engineer but give some thought to a bottom plate added to where you just welded it back together WITH the gussets these guys mentioned.

Mike will never have to say "Let's cut twice and weld three times." BTW that red bracket is not to hold a fire extinguisher. It is for the emergency 2 liter Pepsi.
Pepsi will probably work better than a fire extinguisher
If so, he needs to paint it blue otherwise that other cola may make its way into his cab.
@@flick22601 true. And wee can't have that!
It’s more of a cooler bracket for the PEPSI
I was gonna say that before but dp gets so angry about that emergency Pepsi hanger
Mike Matt and Aaron great video! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Thanks
what a great leaning video. Thank you all. Its got to have a name.

Good to see MBTS is back,but you guys are having way to much fun
I'd like to see you add some more gussets there. Possibly at the bottom perpendicular to the new welds.
Mike great video. and I watched it all Arron knows his welding. and you are good at designing and that is why I watch your site, you and Arron work well together
Glad to see MBTS back. That project is amazing y’all work well together
Good to see mbts work and more work
im so late getting here been bizzy. got me a big smile seeing mbts and him grinding on ya. such fun time watching ya fix a little weak point. cheers guys.
The platform for controller looks great keep up the great work
Welcome back MBTS hope you will get more time in the future to work with DP… you are a good team together… arguing like a couple super fun but still serious work being done…
Welcome back Arron. Looks as though he is in direr need of an angled scrafing tip for the cutting torch for that kind of cutting clean up work.
Hi Mike, I would suggest you paint the guide/measurement chain bright orange so you can easily spot it from the cab.
Another great vid Mike…thanks!
One of the best if not the best “industrial” video on RUclips. Many thanks guys.
Thanks
Y'all are nearly as entertaining as ole Clint & Kevin. Love the "field expediency engineering".
Good catch on the cracked welds! MBTS singing was better than mine, I couldn`t carry a tune if it was in a bucket! lol I have used those same kind of man-scissors myself! Take care
Great video 👍 Good catch on the pre check inspection,the saying is "it's only as strong as the weakest part"but improvements are on going nice to see Mbts😅
Awesome awesome video. Very impressive and too many positive thoughts to list! Enjoyed the vedio ❤️👍👌👌

I agree Aron... 100 % on stick
Another brilliant film. Thank you.
Thanks
Nice improvements and upgrades/repair 👍You are multi-talented with a great crew.
Great video Mike and MBTS and Matt 🇺🇲
Angled scarfing tips help a pile when you have to wash out weld in a tight corner
Fan freakin tastic! Great to see MBS back in a video. Love the bantering between you all. I've said it before.....your videos are like coming home
I agree with you Mike I would have put gussets on it out of 3/4" just as a precaution. Obviously, a monumental amount of stress right there.
Love the changes, I would suggest taking like a 1/2 “ dim. Drill bit and make reference marks / indent dots for depth markers then paint them with glow paint. 2 for 2 ft. 3 for 3 ft. And so on. Just suggestion.
from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 thanks for the video DP
I was going to rag on the Rube Goldberg box. Instead you are so lucky to have a great team of people around you. MBTS had me laughing out loud.

58:00 was the most usable price of educational advice I’ve ever heard!
Washing that out seems like a perfect job for the air arc.
It was a treat seeing you guys working together, even though briefly.

Great to see MBTS back for warranty lol nice to see all three of you gentleman back together hope to see more of it 👍👋🇨🇦
Love it! We all keep learning and that is one of the great things about the Dirt Perfect Channel! Great video! Thanks Guys! Lee
Aaron has a great radio voice he just needs to say with confidence what needs to be done in the field 😀
Great show as usual. Love to watch your innovations.
Just a note. Don't separate the Velcro before cutting it. Saves a lot of time and effort and both pieces end up properly aligned.
Came here to say the same
Exactly!
The THREE STOOGES are back together! Yeah! Good video guys.
Nice to see Aaron back.
Colored zip ties for the chain and drill a corresponding painted divot count and score line for the shank .
Secret to a successful growing company is great employees and Mr. Dirt Perfect is doing it right!
Thanks
I'm so glad that Matt explained why we are supposed to press the tape against the stuff it sticks to.
I enjoy your videos guy's , Love to see the tree of you .
A little dirt in my coffee this morning is always a good thing...
Glad to see you found and fixed a problem, as well as the upgrades with the plow...
Also nice to see the man behind the scenes again also!!
Very nice video... 😎👍
Personally, I prefer a little Whiskey in my coffee in the morning over a little dirt.....😁
I prefer a little coffee in my milk...
I see Aaron in a Kiewet Sweatshirt. In the 60's my dad worked for Pete Kiewet and Sons in western South Dakota where they were building Minuteman Missile Silos. He was responsible for radio communications.
Awesome

Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

it nice to see Arron back and in full flow and ripping into dirt perfect great video lads

Very enjoyable video. I can see you put a lot of work put it together. You always let the people shine when your together.
Lots of cracks, good thing you got 1-800- MBTS 💪. You guys did a nice job in the cab getting all the controls tucked in.👍🇺🇸
You could spray paint white numbers on the back.
Whomever came up with the 2.5 inch hose to shroud the hydraulic lines...kudos!!! The fix, the internal mounting bracket, the drag chain and marking lines on the back...so many practical improvements to tweak the brilliant initial concept continues to pay off. Impressive!!!
Welcome back Aaron still the man, hope is all well bud. Think the project fault is in Mike's cost cutting measures to keep it with in budget and not Aaron's fabricating or welding. We all already know that. Great videos fellas as always be well.
Glad you caught that crack before it got critical, Mike. Just goes to show the importance of regular equipment inspection!
Yup exactly
He caught it before the tractor left the plow behind that would have been ugly
For your spot depth indicator, you could just paint each square a different color.. loved the video.. Thank you for sharing...
Air ark would be my choice, I would also add gusset;s at the bottom.
Ok
As little as I've done of it this seems like a perfect application for ark gouging!! It's loud it's scary you get burnt but it does this job perfect!
Looks great.
For Matts measurement idea on the back if the ripper, you could always paint the 1 foot block between the 2&3 and the 4&5 a different colour. Either black so its not too obvious or go full HiVis yellow/Orange so that way you know the bit where the 2 colours meet is the foot marker. The paint seems to be holding up well on the back of the ripper so it should stay good for a while.

3M Dual-Lock tape will work for the joystick. It has a very strong, stiff lockup which should not work loose from a bumpy ride, while still allowing you to remove it by hand prying.
Have you thought about putting a mark on the end of the pin so you know the hole position as you drive it in? This way when you have it out more so you can twist it easier.
Have Aaron Carbon Ark them numbers in the back of the boot so they’re recessed and then paint them bright yellow
