John Deere 755 Quick Attach Bucket Delivery to Captain Kleeman + Family Trip Vlog to Derby, IN

- My family joins me as we travel to Derby, Indiana to deliver the quick attach loader bucket conversion that was custom fabricated for fellow RUclipsr "Captain Kleeman". We made a few family memories while in beautiful Derby as well, so bear with me as I try to document the trip in my first ever attempt at a "vlog" style video. It was a great experience getting to meet with Captain Kleeman and work with him on his "RUclips Yacht" project. Be sure to check out the Captain's RUclips channel and tell him I sent you. Also while visiting Derby I got to meet a couple other well known RUclipsrs by the names of "Dirt Perfect" and "Logger Wade". If you haven't heard of either of those fellas, make sure you pay a visit and mention where you heard of them.
While at Captain Kleeman's we reattached the quick attach bucket conversion to his John Deere 755 compact tractor and then did a little side project to increase the relief valve pressure so that he could lift just a little bit more to help with the additional weight added by the quick attach hardware. Then, Captain Kleeman fires up Dirt Perfect's John Deere 120 Excavator and begins excavation at the future site of his cabin in the woods that will be built to resemble a tug boat, that he has dubbed as the "RUclips Yacht". We work for a couple hours and then move on to a tour of Derby Indiana where I meet a few of the local RUclips folks.
Our family had a great time as we got to play double duty and witness my first RUclips collaboration and spend some quality family time on a little weekend getaway.
Thanks again to Captain Kleeman for hosting us and being such a great guy to work with. Be sure to check out his channel!
If you read the description this far, then let me know what you think of this vlog style video that includes my family. I was nervous about doing this and would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks so much for watching, liking and commenting!
Great video and glad your guys had a good time! Can’t thank you enough for the QA setup and all the help on the youtube yacht site. Definitely have to get together again in the future!
My pleasure. Thanks for your hospitality and support of the channel. The girls, Kara and I all had a great experience in Derby and it was a very memorable trip. I look forward to our next visit, or if you find yourself in northern Indiana then you'd better drop in on us flatlanders!
Awesome. Video buddy glade the family enjoyed the trip 😁
Thank you much sir! We had a great time and it was a pleasure to finally meet you in person! You folks know how to treat people down there and we all felt very welcome. Had a great time. Hopefully we'll bump into each other again sometime soon. Thanks for the support Mike.
Your wife and your girls just look so much alike when they smile....i love seeing the face of the parents in a child
Horse wrangling, spelunking, mechanicing, digging, sight seeing, visiting and pancakes.... this trip had it all!
Derby is on my list of places to see. I have two brothers that live within a hunnert miles of there... I’m a thinking I am gonna wander that way next summer.
Thanks for equipping the Cap’n. He’s one of those genuine guys that I truly want to succeed!
Oh, there was another thing that you did... you got to operate the 755. That’s on my bucket list too!!!!
Uplifting and well built video. Thanx for posting.
It was great to finally get to Derby in person. The QA bucket was the perfect excuse for a getaway and I couldn't have found a better guy to partner up with. Kleeman really is just a genuinely nice guy.
Thanks for the kind words on the video. I was nervous about uploading something different from the normal digging job or tractor based video. It sure makes my wife happier when she sees one like this once in awhile :) I appreciate your support in the comments.
No need to be nervous Neil. There are loads of tractor / digging based you tubers out there but very few who are worth a sub. You and your family are genuinely engaging to watch and that’s what keeps it interesting. Same goes for Captain, Dirt Perfect, MBTS etc. More please.
@@markdavies9912 Thanks for the affirmation and feedback. I find it difficult to gauge ones self and try to interpret what is interesting to others versus what is interesting to just me or family. RUclips is a tricky widget to understand. Since you've been so generous with feedback, can I ask what you think is a good video length? Personally I tend to click on videos more often if they're less than 10 minutes. My goal is to get to a point where my videos are about that length. I'm not having good luck keeping it that way! It's hard to cut out 90% of what you film! Thanks again.
@@digdrivediy again, it depends on content and style. I watch videos by the Lock Picking Lawyer which are always short and punchy which is perfect for his channel but for yours and the others I mentioned I think I as a viewer get more invested in the characters, the backstory and the content so I prefer a longer video (30 mins or so). If it’s any guide, I watch your videos at normal speed and don’t get tempted to skip forward. To me, that sounds like your format works right?
Great Family Channels you and LT Mike Kleeman have , something I can watch with my 2 1/2 year old Grandson
Thanks so much Eddie!
PANCAKES!!! made me chuckle. Great memories being made. And what's cool is, when the girls are grown up you can easily look back at all this a smile. Keep em' coming Neil.
Thanks so much Tony! I loved the pancake line. Such an "Ella" thing to say. The girls like watching the videos up on the TV and I hope we can maintain the tradition. Part of the reason I switched to posting on Sunday mornings as now it is part of the weekend routine to sit together and watch. Appreciate all your support.
Very cool, and I need pancakes too. Lol. Have a blessed and safe week, and stay healthy.
Pancakes are a great weekend starter! Same to you friend. Thanks for watching!
Hi there Neal.
Really nice video.
Thank you for posting this one.
Sincerely
Ed from Chicago
Thanks Ed!
Just an awesome vid Neil. Now your part of the Derby family and there awsome too. To help the Cpt out like that says a lot about you too !!! I no I use this word alot but you and your family are really Awsome too !!!! With your utube channel I got almost a full days watching!!!! And all you guys make me want to come out of retirement and put all my health issues on the back burner and do some operating again just like Jerry !!! Hey you all stay safe and look for more vids from ya !!!!!
Thanks so much Mark for all the kind words. Seeing the comments from all the subs that frequent the channels of all the Derby boys is really humbling to me and I appreciate their willingness to help out another wannabe creator! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on my videos. I wish you the best of health and hope that you can get back out there and run some day if you're so inclined. Many thanks.
Loved the video! Great to see the family having a fun weekend away and how much the girls enjoyed the horseback riding they were so excited about.
They did love it. Problem is, now they want to do more horseback riding. I can't tell them no, so I guess we'll have to go again. I actually find it quite enjoyable myself. Thanks for watching Mom!
It's amazing how fast 2yrs go. The girls have changed so much.
Very nice of you to help Captain out........great video and hope you enjoyed the trip....thanks for taking us along. I have seen so much of Derby through the different channels until I feel like it is a familiar place, on my bucket list to stay in the You Tube Yacht cabin.....GREAT VIDEO
Wow, thanks Michael! I was glad to help him out. I feel like we both were winners in the deal and I've made some great new friendships. You know, it was strange going to Derby for the first time after seeing it so many times on You Tube. It did not disappoint. I think we're all gonna be in line for that RUclips Yacht stay! Thanks for watching!
It is nice to see the Crew having fun and enjoying themselves!
Thank you for the awesome work you put into each video!
enjoyed very much.
I really appreciate it Steven. While I do really enjoy it, the videos are a good bit of work so your comment really well received. Thanks for watching and being such a supportive sub!
Thanks Billy! I'm glad to have you watching.
Another great video. What a great way to get a two-for-one. Great time with the family and a chance to meet new friends. It don't get any better than that!
Absolutely. I thought it was a very well rounded weekend of work and pleasure. I think I'll always remember it cause it was on your birthday too! Thanks for watching!
Man! You're up early posting this morning. That was a cool little trip to Derby. It looks like your family enjoyed themselves too. BTW, I saw you eyeballing that old dump truck on the side of the road. I know you were thinking about the possibilities for that old truck. Lol. Enjoyed the vid.
More like up late editing! I actually finished the edit pretty late (OK, early morning 2am) and then I'll upload it and schedule it to go live at 6 am. Fortunately I was still snoozing when the video posted :) It was a great trip to Derby and you're right, that Dump truck had my gears turning. Seems I can't just pass a dump truck without thinking out it's potential! Thanks as always for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it.
Cool trip! You were right down in my neck of the woods where I grew up! I grew up outside of Ferdinand IN
Thanks so much. Man, you're lucky to have grown up in such a beautiful and interesting place. Thanks for checking out the video and taking the time to comment!
Successful trip. You have a beautiful family man. Them derby boys seem like some top shelf folks. Kleeman happy. Stay blessed brother
Thank you very much. I'm certainly a lucky man in the family department for sure. We had such a good visit down there and look forward to going back. Thanks for checking out the video!
Great video thank you
you teamed of with a good guy.your girls are great how old are they.and that cabin you stayed in looked really nice
Those guys down there in Derby are awesome. I'm so grateful that they have been so generous with their time. My daughters are 9 year old twins. The cabin was so awesome. Would do it again in a heartbeat.
My septic tank is sitting in sold granite. It took all day to break up that hole with a 6" hammer on a 320 Cat trackhoe. The house is sitting on mostly shale so it was dug with a ripper tooth, but the frost footing for the walkout is solid granite so it's only 18" deep. Last year we buried our propane tank. It too was in shale but still took a couple of hours. with a 322 Cat. Our neighbor is building a garage and house with Post Frame construction. They spent two days drilling the holes for the posts with a machine that was pretty incredible. It onlytook 20 minutes to drill an 18" hole 48" deep in solid rock.
That's amazing to hear that kinda stuff. I have never really got to dig in anything further away than an hour from my house until working with Kleeman. It's tough to imagine dealing with it all the time since it is all just nothing but dirt around here. We have different types of dirt obviously, but no rock to deal with other than the occasional gravel vein. On that garage, it makes me wonder why even drill the posts? Couldn't they just tie into the granite with a slab and use it as a pre-existing footing? In any case it is awesome that we have such advancements to deal with those kind of problems. I can't believe drilling into that solid granite with an 18" auger! Thanks so much for the interesting story and for watching the channel. Take care.
@@digdrivediy I totally agree. I hope to put up a shop some day and I've come to the conclusion that a slab on grade with a 12x12 perimeter of concrete and steel is all I need.
I’m in Columbia city right now myself. I came down to help my friend prune about a dozen trees, and ended up dropping 3 dead ones yesterday. Derby looks like a good weekend getaway spot. I need to copy how you built that quick-tach for my ls. My bucket is a quick-tach bucket, but with the pin brackets too. 🤷🏼♂️
Sounds like you had a busy Sunday too! Columbia City is just a hop and a skip from here! Any quick attach is a good one. Thanks for dropping in on the video.
@@digdrivediy no problem man! Enjoy!
I wouldn’t have had a bagel and eggs if I knew we’d stop for pancakes. 😞
Certainly looks like everyone had a great time.
The only part of Indiana I’ve seen is the stretch of I-94 between Michigan and Illinois but I have seen southern Ohio and can agree about the topography changing as you move south.
Hahaha! A bagel isn't half bad either. After about the 4th Cracker Barrel sign she was aching for pancakes! Indiana has a wide range of topography and it was nice to get to a spot where we had never been. Thanks for tuning in sir!
Great conten by an even bette storytelller!
Great video!!
Well ya sold me on Captain Kleeman, Neil. BTW, when are you gonna be starting the new fireplace at home that Kara "mentioned?" You got nothing but free time there son! Hell, it's only the end of August! Plenty of time before it gets cold. Gonna be in the upper 80's with slight rain chances for the next 5 days there! Get to work!
Ha! That Captain Kleeman is a nice dude! We get along really well and still text back and forth. I got more projects than I got years left to do them so Kara will need to prioritize that list! lol We've been getting that rain they were calling for which hasn't been helping the project list either!
Awesome set up. You have me looking for a 755.
Hey thanks! I am obviously a huge fan of the 755. I have two of them now and think they're a perfect size for what I do. Thanks for watching!
COOL!
What a nice video , I love the editing and music and the scenery but its a shame the video got spoiled by the guy ''Captain Kleeman'' 🙄 😆😆 hes a nice energetic guy, in fact its through him I found your channel a few days ago. you have a lovely family too.
Thank you so much! That was a great trip to see Captain and he is a real genuine guy. I'm so glad you decided to stop over to visit my channel and I hope you continue to enjoy the videos. Thanks for riding along! Have a great holiday!
@@digdrivediy Thank you and I hope you and the family have a great holiday too ;-)
Great video. God bless you and your family.
Hey you might want to check out outdoors with the Morgans channel. Mike Morgan does alot on his property with tractor, wood splitter and wood Mizer. I watch every day, great family also.
Hi Michael. Thanks for checking out my channel. I enjoy watching the Morgan's as well. He has some cool toys. It's about firewood season for me too so I may have some similar days with saws, splitter etc. Glad to have you tuning in!
More info on the shims for the loader PSI.
I made an entire video about just that:
