Komatsu parts are expensive, but you don't buy many because they are an awesome machine, ran a 355 dozer for about 15 years and was impressed, ran 450 diggers and was also blown away by the fact that they are so under rated from the factory!
I like the new beginning. Putting family first is a must for anyone. I know it is especially hard for self-employed guys. Ya gotta make hay when the sun is shining. You will never regret going to that ball game, baton recital or PTA meeting with your wife.
Clinton did you a favor on the Mack you were looking at, good friends are hard to find. Keep looking Mike you'll find your dream truck. Keep up the good work Mike!
Hey Mike, Speaking of building ponds with scrappers. Last fall north of you in Jennings Co, in the country a couple of miles south of Scipio they built a pond in a flat field using two pull scrappers with International 4 wheel drive tractors. It was no quick job though.
So the hyd lift cylinder is missing a stage. Swap for the right cylinder. Looks easy for you and MBTS to rebuild and install one from a salvage yard and fix the dump body dents.
My local county road department used to have a pair of those they used when pulling ditches on dirt roads. They'd follow the graders and pick up all the trash and stuff that the graders pulled out of the ditches, then dump it somewhere off the road.
Up in the northern state we have problem with the exhaust running in the bed with bed rot from the inside. All that heat creates moisture and at the end of the day it freezes. Next day you fire it up all the moisture pools to the bottom of the inside part of the bed. It will rot out after years of use but it handy for asphalt use!!
I you could take a picture of that pattern were what giraffe has beyond certain s**** and all that then you can take it out to CNC and have them to print you off a little one that you can put on your window so you don't know what was going on
It’s good to have friends like party pooper Clint. Pointed out some things on the dump truck at Yoder & Fry and saved you some heartache and money. Keep looking, you will find one.
My cents, scrapers are best for road building if using one. But if the company has multiple machines, then road building & mass material moving. Or used in place of a dump truck.
Nice new intro Mike! As always, a BIG thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Disappointing but Clinton probably saved you a from a ton of trouble!!!!
We had a scraper that got used 3 or 4 times in 20 years. It was great for stripping topsoil but sucked once you hit hardpan. Overall for pond building, it was a to costly. It did really shine leveling large fields/lots though.
@dirt__perfect I thought we were talking, lol. How do I contact you? Can I do it on contact you on Facebook messenger or use this name for me on FB messenger.
DP that Taylor fork truck is a 50 ton. They are commonly used at steel mills. I've seen one operate at Tamco Steel in Fontana California. They made rebar of all sizes. God bless
Mike get it time you will get the dump you are looking for. It's good to see you, Clint and Chris to how you all get along well with each other be able to joke and cut up. Thanks for your videos
What you do is you buy really really good driver seat and just move the old driver's seat over to the passionate side and that way you'll have a nice air ride comfortable seat
i ran 1 of those in the army more in 1 day on the highway than i ever did in the dirty was fresh out of training and they threw me in 1 to drive back to the reserve center 40 miles from a jobs asked the sgt how did i do he said great minus the 4 mailboxes and 1 culvert u crushed.
To bad about the Mack dump truck. It looked like a beaut. I like the auction videos and seeing the other youtubers there with you. Great video. Thank you DP.
Use to run a Taylor Fork Lift like that but it was new at the time to take the derricks off pulling units and mobile drilling rigs as well as pick up the carrier to move them around the yard. It’s amazing how much that forklift can actually pick up. The only difference is our had dual tire’s on the front. I’m not a dump truck operator so I’m curious as to why a double frame truck is a no-go for you as a dump truck? Seems to me the heavy duty frame would be a better option for the weight.
in 1955, when a man from Addicks, Texas, started building off-road equipment under the company name Applied Research and Development Company, or ARDCO, for short. His 4x4 buggies became so popular in the oil and gas industry that he set up shop in Lafayette, Louisiana, and expanded his operation. Eventually, ARDCO was purchased in 1989 by Pettibone Corporation, a leading manufacturer of material handling equipment, pipe and tire handling machines, railroad construction and maintenance machines, and rough-terrain forklifts. ARDCO’s headquarters remain in Louisiana, but production has been moved to Pettibone’s facility in Baraga, Michigan.
I agree with you. I knew a guy that would run up to 30 at and he said that was good. But, it's not work just wanted the time it takes too long to do something the dozer will out push it. Theory it takes several to do work within a time limit. Sincerely Nick
Mike you for sure don't need a push type scraper pan. If you even wanted one you'd definitely want one that has the paddles. I call them all pans and paddle pan for the ones with paddles. Mike I don't need to explain to you why you would need one with paddles but I'll explain for anyone else that doesn't know. With a pan that doesn't have the paddles, 90% of the time you have to push it with a dozer to get it loaded. Paddle pans have paddles mounted to two chains that spin and grab the dirt and pull it into the pan as you cut it so its self loading, so 90% of the time it doesn't need to be pushed by a dozer. The company I worked for had a early to mid 1990s Cat 613 paddle pan. Only thing I didn't like about it was if you got the pan unlevel while cutting and running the paddles, the chains and paddles would jump off the idle pulleys at the top where they turned to come back around. If you caught it fast enough you could reverse them and get them back on easily. If you didn't catch it in time and that didn't work you'd spend a good while trying to pry and push them back on. Learned real quick not to run them off all the way. Mike doesn't make deep enough cuts and at the same time have a long way to transport the dirt cut out. That's what pans are for. Making deep long cuts that then requires the dirt to be moved a long distance. They will work good for large deep ponds that have really long dams yes but Mike or Chris either one don't do enough ponds like that to justify having a pan for the occasional one that may come along. Even with large deep cuts, track hoes and offroad dump trucks are just as fast as pans if not faster now. All depends on the job at hand. 👍
Mike that was one hell of an ending shot. It was cool how it came out of those metal doors. You'll find the one soon enough don't worry buddy. Take care God bless
This may be a dumb question but why does the exhaust heat the bed on a haul truck? Is it so wet loads dont freeze to it ? Thanks DP , I love the auction videos.
DP another amazing 5 🌟 video I believe you'll find something soon and it will make a fabulous video as well as always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer.
There were some real gems at those auctions. Someone has to keep you guys down to earth. Clint does a good job of that, he is a wealth of knowledge. Good used dump trucks seem hard to find.
Dumptrucks have a hard life anyway, and North American dumptrucks dont have planetary hub reduction axles like the European. Do American dumptrucks have two speed transfer cases too ? That combo really saves the transmission, and purpose built planetary axles last a million miles without a rebuild too...
One thing that would be nice to come across at the auction is a tailgate for old Budda along with a new dump truck. Problem I see with auction these days is the prices that equipment and tooling is bringing. It is insane. Thanks very much for sharing.
I think Wade needs that Taylor forklift for the mill. He might take the whole place down with it though 😂 you usually see them at rail yards moving containers around.
If you get a fire big enough so it gets hot enough NORAD can notice it and send out local law enforcement to check on the source. The heat signature can temporarily mimic launch signature. Accidentally having metal in the fire catch fire can contribute to those high heat signatures. Be careful out there.
I noticed you didn’t check out the motor graders, I myself spend about 80percent of my time at work in one, I like Cat when it comes to a blade though, I love going to the equipment auctions.
Y`all are an entertaining crew with this episode. Buying from auctions and most personal sales - you can bet its very worn out or an expensive repair soon.
Not just for ponds but if you could put your tile plow on that d8 I would guess your footage per day would increase but im sure it has a very nice price tag
Well Mike I have enjoyed the video of all of the equipment and that is what I enjoy most about you you go through the steps talk about each and every one of the tractors or excavator dump truck even the pan scraper that was pretty cool I enjoyed your channel and I also enjoy Chris letsdig18 I watch both of y'all do y'all's thing on the jobs whether it's doing a driveway or a foundation for a house or building a pond I enjoyed both you and Chris weather whatever you're doing whatever your building thank you for sharing the videos
And I thought we were friends 😢
Lol hang on I might have something for you today 😁
lol never let me down yet I have faith 😁
Clint lol why doesn't he finish the paystar,,you could help him if he'd turn you loose 😁
You guys are awesome,I really enjoy all your video's DP 's. C&C 's all keep them coming guys
Still waiting on your bank letter DP to our accounting department for payment approval on this deal?? 🤷♀️ 🤔 🤦♀️
Lol that not after the purchase 😬😁
so glad you changed your intro and put family first.
Komatsu parts are expensive, but you don't buy many because they are an awesome machine, ran a 355 dozer for about 15 years and was impressed, ran 450 diggers and was also blown away by the fact that they are so under rated from the factory!
Nice to see Clint and Mrs C in your video Mr Dirt Perfect
Had a awesome time with them
Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching
Wow lots of goods to be seen and had hope you find what you are after great watch thanks for sharing 👍👋🇨🇦
Well at least you had some nice weather
I like the new beginning. Putting family first is a must for anyone. I know it is especially hard for self-employed guys. Ya gotta make hay when the sun is shining. You will never regret going to that ball game, baton recital or PTA meeting with your wife.
I drove a mack like that for 5 yrs, that multi speed reverse was a blast. Great truck.
Clinton did you a favor on the Mack you were looking at, good friends are hard to find. Keep looking Mike you'll find your dream truck. Keep up the good work Mike!
If I remember correctly, Mike started out as a professional mechanic...am I wrong? Please reply if you know.

With all the energy that you're putting into finding a truck . Lt. Dan could have been up and running hahaha .
2 very different trucks were talking about here
Yup very different trucks correct
That and he would save money finshing up Lt. Dan
Apples and oranges!
you: I want a steak
me: Have some fish
Up in the northern state we have problem with the exhaust running in the bed with bed rot from the inside. All that heat creates moisture and at the end of the day it freezes.

That old truck sure would look good sitting outside the Derby mart
Hit and miss at the auctions…all part of the game. Thanks for sharing DP!
There’s an auction coming up around here soon. Road trip! 😁
Ritchie brothers in Durham?
@@colestroud8300 This is a farmers auction out towards Rocky Mount
sure said a mouthfull when you talked about cost and difticulty of moving equipment from job to job!!
I you could take a picture of that pattern were what giraffe has beyond certain s**** and all that then you can take it out to CNC and have them to print you off a little one that you can put on your window so you don't know what was going on

Hey DP, just so you know the scammers are on here again. Had a response yesterday from them. 25 years in law enforcement taught me better than that.
I used to run a 627B cat Scraper for years great machine to operate twin engines lots of power. However you are correct they have their place
Hang in there, you will find that MACK triaxle, it will come out of no where. Thanks for the update sir.
My cents, scrapers are best for road building if using one. But if the company has multiple machines, then road building & mass material moving. Or used in place of a dump truck.
That taylor forktruck is made just down the road from my hometown. Really great company.
Keep looking Mike. I think you’ll find one soon.
The start up sound on that John Deere ADT haul truck sounds good
Nice new intro Mike! As always, a BIG thank you for bringing us along on your journey. Disappointing but Clinton probably saved you a from a ton of trouble!!!!
Erie PA! That's about an hour up the road from me.
love the mack trucks and freightliner,kenworth

Nice new dump truck; may be i'll see a vid of it this year...LOL....can't wait
Good thing for Clint😉👍🇺🇸
Interesting look at all that different equipment some good some junk used to live there in Bushnell Florida a lot different around there now
DP, love the scrapper, but I wasn't thinking that BIG just a tow behind would maybe better suited for you. That one is already green lol.
@dirt__perfect I thought we were talking, lol. How do I contact you? Can I do it on contact you on Facebook messenger or use this name for me on FB messenger.
and the two yello baby buttons on shifter u shift gears I drive a new 775 at my rock quarry
Thank you so much for cleaning up your intro. Perfect intro for Dirt Perfect.
Love the new intro Mike, just looks better.
Thanks

Great auction in my opinion the Mac would be the best thing to buy great video thanks Mike and Chris
Mike get it time you will get the dump you are looking for. It's good to see you, Clint and Chris to how you all get along well with each other be able to joke and cut up. Thanks for your videos
My husband and myself did the February auctions of Yoder & Frey and Ritchie Brothers in Orlando. Tons of items to look at and play with. Good luck!
Drove through Derby this afternoon…nice to see some of the equipment sitting in the lot at the market
Yup will start moving out this week
Like the sprint car, we be at Hattiesburg Mississippi on 5th to race the new car . My friend Channin Tankerley races and I pit for him.
Great video Mr Dirt Perfect
What you do is you buy really really good driver seat and just move the old driver's seat over to the passionate side and that way you'll have a nice air ride comfortable seat
i ran 1 of those in the army more in 1 day on the highway than i ever did in the dirty was fresh out of training and they threw me in 1 to drive back to the reserve center 40 miles from a jobs asked the sgt how did i do he said great minus the 4 mailboxes and 1 culvert u crushed.
I ran one of them forklifts in a woodmill
mike what was the forks on the center of rear bumper? all of our trucks at abf are single seaters so that truck doesn't look unusual to me at all.
To bad about the Mack dump truck. It looked like a beaut. I like the auction videos and seeing the other youtubers there with you. Great video. Thank you DP.
Love the opening with the door, did you make that or dowload it from some place

Sounds like Dp owes a check and a big bag of jerky to Clint. What color is Kevin painting it ? 😆
Really like these auction videos bro there is sure plenty to view and ya run into great company. Safe travels
Thanks
That was a CAT 315 Next Generation next to the brand new Hyundai you were just looking at.
When you see a pan. RUN!!! The opposite direction as fast as you can.

Don't forget to straight stack it .
I think a milk crate would work as a passenger seat for Aaron. As a bonus, his feet would touch the floor...

Thumbs up 👍 keep looking!
Bought a nice Lincoln welder from a Ritchie Bro's a few years ago

Patience comes a long way. As long as the C8500 still runs you have time to search for the right truck.
Mike that was one hell of an ending shot. It was cool how it came out of those metal doors. You'll find the one soon enough don't worry buddy. Take care God bless
Hey DPI big fork truck looks like it picks up shipping containers. Tks from gary
This may be a dumb question but why does the exhaust heat the bed on a haul truck? Is it so wet loads dont freeze to it ? Thanks DP , I love the auction videos.
That is pretty much the reason they do that.
asphalt haulers also use heated beds
Scrappers are great for field leveling. Besides, it's military green. Would be a great addition to your fleet.
Interesting to see the verity of equipment.
Fun times. Lots of potential projects that would probably take a couple years to start getting a return on ... lol.
DP another amazing 5 🌟 video I believe you'll find something soon and it will make a fabulous video as well as always God bless yah from Gaffney South Carolina viewer.
how can those lift cylinders keep from pushing the floor thru??
Howdy Mr. Dirt, Lots of fun watching the gang get into all sorts of trouble!! Hope you get what you want! Take Care, Jim
Little Short in the Frame Section=Perfect for Arron😅🤣😂 and the rename it TBTS😁!! John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Thanks for the enlightenment!
Thanks for watching
I have a 1997 Mack Tandem with an E7. CH613.
Love your auction video, I would do the same thing, compare brands on all the different equipment.
Whatever Clint has in mind for you would be great he's a great friend to you and wouldn't let you down you should go with it, Mike

Tailgates on haul trucks are fine for hauling mud but in the way when hauling brush or concrete.
Don’t think I would ever use it
I think Wade needs that Taylor forklift for the mill. He might take the whole place down with it though 😂 you usually see them at rail yards moving containers around.
Welcome back this cold Saturday morning February 18th local time 7 o'clock AM Temperature 25ﾟ🚜👍WS NC
I think Mike should buy a huge long reach excavator so he can stack the next brush fire even higher. 👌
Jerry will still stick a tree on top somehow.
But it doesnt have a Thumb!
@@cathiwim they put grapples on them

You really should consider a tracked dump truck, considering all the mud pits you keep getting yourself into.
Y`all are an entertaining crew with this episode. Buying from auctions and most personal sales - you can bet its very worn out or an expensive repair soon.
The OSHKOSH nice and interesting kind a like LT Dan
Not just for ponds but if you could put your tile plow on that d8 I would guess your footage per day would increase but im sure it has a very nice price tag
Unfortunately I don't have telegram but I hope to get it soon
It’s scam
@@DirtPerfect I thought it might be because I never herd chirs mention being on telegram in the videos
Hey DP they have engines do they have a Cummings ,Cat or Mack engine to put in that red Mac
You could just strap a kids car seat in there for MBTS😂😂, miss seeing Aaron in these vids. Cheers !
