Let me know if you guys enjoyed this one and be sure to check out the huge Black Friday sale over at detailgeekautocare.com and stock up!
Wow dude that thing wasn’t even dirty yet
Definitely detail your tractor!!!
@@zimmermanlandscape9287 I think the massive amount of mud left on my floor would disagree with you.
@@zimmermanlandscape9287 take care of you equipment and it will take care of you.
Now construction companies will be calling you to clean their machinery.
Congrats on being the first person in history to wash a bobcat indoors.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣
😂😂😂
I washed one about 20 years ago when I was working for an auto dealer in Flagstaff, AZ when they took it towards a trade. I had an indoor bay to do all my details back then thankfully
Luckiest skid steer out there. Spoiled bobcat 😅
Keeping your heavy equipment clean will greatly help the machine last much longer. It’s healthy machine maintenance. And if you have to have it repaired by a mechanic. They will be very appreciative of your efforts to maintain its cleanliness, that goes for if you work on it yourself as well. Short tip. These machines gather a lot of dirt and dust under the cab in the “belly” of the machine. Most of the time these skidsteers you can raise the cab by removing a couple bolts and lifting it like a car hood. Remove your belly pan and wash out the bottom. It will keep down on hydraulic hoses and electrical harnesses rubbing on the piled up dirt! Great work!
I dont think a skid steer has been treated like this ever in humanity's lifetime
that must be the cleanest bobcat i've ever seen (before you cleaned it)
Seriously what I was thinking lol
It's even cleaner than most family cars he detailed lol
Mitch, thank you for such a great and different detail video. I take it that this is a favorite toy, and toys need cleaned as well. Like others who posted, keeping your vehicles clean (no matter what type) will extend its life. I enjoyed your at the moment audio, made me feel like I was there with you as you carried out your excellent detailing skills. Also liked your problem solving skills and how you attacked your mission. Again, thanks so much. Very entertaining!
I really enjoyed this detailing and the format of the video too! I assumed that with the new works space we’d get some out of the ordinary vehicles in for detailing, I’m glad I wasn’t wrong. Overall, good stuff and thanks for the content man!
Jesus Christ. I’ve been away from you channel for almost 2 years and your at 3.22mil. Big congrats!! I’ve always loved your channel man.
I operated that exact skid steer! Foot pedals and all!! I miss that ol’ girl as I had quit that job. Nobody could operate her proficiently. Instead they would be rough with her and not blow out the engine compartment or grease her. I, on the other hand, would clean and grease her. I NEEEEEVER had any complaints. Everything I asked of her, she did without any hesitation and ask what else do you want me to do. This video brought a little smile in reminding me of my ol’ girl. 😏
If you have a grapple bucket attachment, don’t hit the vertical thumb lever on the right control lever. The grapple will automatically open up. Hitting the switch again will allow you to open & close it at will.
The in person talking throughout is really nice. Great detail like usual
🔥DG riding in on heavy equipment into a new garage is 💯🔥. Great video!
I enjoy your input between cleaning phases. Keep it up man !
Hi Mitch from Louisiana, Enjoyed your diversification of motor vehicles. Change is the spice of life and sometimes a new option can never happen soon enough. You're the greatest Mitch, I also enjoyed the studio build-up with all its unique quirks. Now lets talk Tractor? You said something about coating it? I for one would love to see it. Anyhow Dear Mitch I appreciate all those videos and keep at it and perhaps throw in there a few quirky options if possible. Big Fan from South Louisiana. C'est Bon! ⚜️
i liked the Bobcat detail video, It is a change of pace from your "usual" vehicle details. i very much enjoyed you talking more in this video - but i think that is due to my limited knowledge and/or exposure to detailing heavy equipment. i really liked how you explained about the cleaning of the engine and why you were not using the powerwasher to rinse the engine off. maybe show the tractor detail next year (in a few months or so).
Love the way you did this video. Kinda more personal. Love to see more af that in future videos. Greetings from Denmark✌🏻
When locals see this they are gonna come to you for tractor details🙂The dealer is gonna be like 'have you even used this?' when you take it in for oil changes and such...for sure the tech will love to work on it.
As for clean hands during grease gun use...you always will get some..just gotta hold the nozzle tight over the zerk fitting. That grease you have is excellent stuff!! Grease for wheel bearings on cars and trucks!!
Bring on the tractor details...I like variety not to mention seeing something used and abused to a degree get all spiffed up. Talking through the videos is good with me Mitch:-)
You should have hit Bobcat up for a sponsorship! This is some good pub for them actually! I would love to have one of those!
Mitch I enjoy watching you clean anything it is interesting to see
I love watching these videos in the background while doing homework 😁
For grease, I would use black Nitrile gloves like what you use for interior work.
Loved this unusual detail!
A tractor would work also!!
Bring it on!
Awesome job well done Detail Geek enjoyed it heaps as it also showed me how a Bobcat works great job💯💯
Great video, heavy machinery & detailing, 2 of my favorite things. Bring on the tractor
The controls are very very natural. Love driving a Bobcat!
Variety is nice, bathing Bobby shook things up a little. I am also a fan of commentary in general. It's also shocking how little snow you have in Sask.
Wow, "Bobby" looks Awesome! Great Job!
Loved it! No doubt.
Keep them going, these irregular vehicles (once in a while).
I noticed during the video you were talking about planting trees with Bobby. Do you have any special plans for the landscaping around your new shop?
I’ve never seen machinery that clean besides when brand new and even then it usually has dust and some scuffs of dirt
It did not surprise me at all that you would detail your Bobcat. I'm the same way, I don't like anything I own to look like I don't care for it. I periodically clean my lawn gear the same way. Especially useful to do before storing for the winter.
You could reset the odometer and sell that machine as new! Cleanest track loader in Canada
Great way to protect your brand. Wouldn’t expect any less 😎
World's cleanest skid-steer right there
Cleanest equipment I've seen in a while, at the beginning of the video
Amazing work! We use to just pressure wash our equipment and call it clean! Do you have any tips on cleaning and drying microfiber towels for longer use?
Interesting idea to detail! Good work my man!
Great video as always !Help me out Mitch , in the picture of the video ,the Bobcat looks like it was dipped in pancake batter , however when you rolled it in the studio ,it looks different ? like it has been rinsed off first ? I stepdad always cleaned his equipment when he got finished with them ! they could be 10 years old and look like new!
Loved all of that brother! Even the guitar skills!
You need to do another Skid Steer. like a Real one this time. Like one From a Decent Construction Site. One you did is just WAY to clean already.
Careful leaving the arms lifted like that while washing. Try to put the cylinder lock in to prevent it from falling or bleeding off pressure. I work on cat equipment so I know all the time that goes into washing these things. 🤘
Did you make those your controls or dose bobcat make that the factory controls.
Catipliler skidsteers have one pedal, and its for controlling your speed.
The left stick id for movement and the right stick is for controlling the bucket
Thats the nicest lookin skid steer I have ever seen. The talking through the videos is excellent and watching you cleanup your tractor would be great too, Mitch. Well Done.....Oh ya, does that Bobcat have Solar Panels on the roof ? I thought i noticed that at the end of the video during your showcase of the finished detail.
Mitch, RUclipsr SASKDUTCHKID works on his family’s dairy farm near Saskatoon. They have skidsteers that muck out the solid and liquid manure everyday. The machines are encrusted with crap. Maybe quickly washed once a year. He might smile when he sees you detail your Bobcat. Cheers!
Hoping to use an employee discount and buy one someday.
You need to detail one of those giant mining dump trucks!! 😜
Awesome vid
Keep filming 😊
Should have lifted the cab and cleaned around the feul tank too if you went this far
Grind out the rust from the bucket and slap on some Boeing T9 before you start playing with the snow. The snow won’t stick and rust won’t form. It’s god tier rust protection. Cheers!
This is awesome!
You’re not supposed to wash the compacted dirt off the bottom of the bucket. The ridges in the bottom are designed for that to happen to reduce wear.
Brand new bobcat!
How do u feel about Canada bieng out of the world cup?
Do you use a DJI or Autel at the end for your final display, and what model?
Super smart detailing your equipment. If you ever want to flip it, it'll look brand new, and you can make the most money back. Always appreciate your vids, tips, and tricks! Keep up the great content. ALOHA \m/
Oh poor Bobby! You didn’t lift the cab and clean underneath it!😂
To avoid grease on your hands! Wear rubber disposable gloves.
That's a nice looking Bobcat. if you don't mind me asking how much is one of those worthwhere you live. I live in California and sometimes like that is worth between 50 and 80 thousand. I was just wondering if it's cheaper for me to travel to buy one or just buy one in California??
I enjoyed it and I want to see the tractor detailed
You forgot to lift the cab all the dirt get under the operator and collects there also opening the front plates behind the arms to clean the dirt out
No seat belt huh?
I was the same way until I was doing snow removal and the front edge of the bucket caught a manhole cover. The machine came to a dead stop but I didn’t. Luckily the lap bar jumped up and caught me right across the sternum.
Fun times bud. 😬
It’s all about knowing the conditions you’re operating in. If I was doing something with ANY level of risk like that then I’d wear it, pretty simple.
How long does it take you to clean up the studio after a detail?
Do you leave it parked inside when you are not around?
Awesome!
The cleanest Bobcat in Canada!
I don’t want to sound like a know it all but don’t get out of the cab with the boom up. That’s why it’s hard to get out because you aren’t supposed to. If the hydraulics fail in any way while you are getting in or out it will crack you.
Bobby looks Shiny!
That must be a lower model the one I use at work is like a 2020 model it has touch screen forgot what version it is though but mine uses hand controls for the bucket also there is a switch on the back of my seat that does heated seats the reason I know it because it got turned on one day that dude is hot and we couldn't figure out how to turn it off horrible placement for that 😅
Loved the video as much as all the others. Happy with any you want to do but, would really like to see the tractor. Stay safe.
Being that dirty, make sure to change the air filter too. Changing the oil would not hurt either.
Never knew skid steers came new, just assumed they came from the factory with balled tires ripped seats and chipped paint. Huh, learn something new everyday!
For a demonstration it seems fine to me, but for a piece of equipment that has to work daily, it would not make much sense, anyway it seems to me that as part of regular maintenance an engine cleaning is fine
I don't know about cleaner, However a cordless grease gun is much easier.
A clean machine is always more fun to operate and always worth more money .
Do the tractor next
I actually gained a lot of respect for Mitch after this video. For him to detail his Bobcat even though it gets dirty with the work he does, just shows how meticulous and tidy and very clean Mitch is. I bet if someone visited his house it will probably be the cleanest house ever!!
I wouldn't doubt that at all, I'll bet that his carpet is shiny
he for sure already has just the cleanest garage despite working so much in it (well, it at least used to be in his actual garage.) however, cleaning something that gets dirty right away again isn't exactly something new to Mitch, I'm guessing, since he often details either farm trucks or in the middle of the winter with roads in really bad condition. or occasionally, you can rather safely assume that his clients just won't keep their vehicles clean for very long (effectively ensuring, that we never run out of content 😅)
@@Vincent-ke5zn pearly hahaha
Mitch certainly has a great work ethic, but I wonder if he will feel the same about this machine in a couple of years time of cleaning to this degree 😆
My dad always told me "You wipe your ass every time you take a shit. Keeping your equipment clean is no different."
The fact that he cleans his bobcat just shows how much he takes care of and cares about his belongings. If more people could be like this then the world would be better off
yeah try cleaning the sap off of masticating loaders 😅
Id do the same thing if I was making 5 grand off of RUclips for washing things
@@Nahdooo27 i think hes making more than 5k a vid bro thats wild
i mean I think you forgot about the part where he has a channel and he needs content lmao
@@markiefresh 1 million views usually is $2k but just depends where his viewers are from
I'd like to see some more heavy equipment getting deep cleaned the best you can get. That and some very old vintage cars would be interesting to see on the channel too.
I liked this one! Getting your commentary 'in-person' as it were, as opposed to a voice-over, was much more personable! Kinda felt like we were really there with you the whole time! I'm glad you made time for the Bobcat to get cleaned before the winter, I can see how the snow might just pack the dirt on more permanently. Great video as always!
I agree with Peter. I think the commentary adds to the video. Maybe put it in your arsenal of editing ideas. Sometimes have it, sometimes don't. Keep the audience guessing!
This video broke out of the mold and I liked it. You could also do one entitled, "Rookie Does $500 Detail" or "I trained a rookie how to detail."
I agree and was going to respond in a similar manner but you already said everything for me.
Yup, I agree as well. Great video!
As someone who sells used earth moving equipment this is incredibly satisfying to watch. I see so many machines that are not washed and maintained like you did with this. Also you can unbolt the cab and lift it so you can power wash the foot pedal controls and wash all the dirt out of the pumps.
Ehh I can see him getting a bit too crazy and fuck up pintle shaft seals
Mitch, I know you might not see this, but showing all your detailing skills, heart, hard work, and all is just out of this world. You should be recognized and verified on all of your social medias, so people can really see who how skilled you are as an professional detailer. Keep going, my man.
Loved this detail so different. My cousin and me always watch your details together and he loved this one (my cousin has autism and your videos calm him a lot)
Yes! My 2 adult sons, though high functioning, watch his videos and similar others. It really does calm them down
I watch his videos before I go to bed! It’s so relaxing. And as the videos come out on Friday night where I live it’s a great way to end the work week and kick into gear the relaxing weekend!
Now this is an unusual detail! But it’s exciting to see you tackle something so different. Maintenance on a vehicle like this should extend its work life. Thanks for sharing such a fun cleanup!
Wouldnt say it extends work life at all. Perhaps resale value. Regular maintenance (greasing, oil and filter changes) extends service life
Thank you so much for doing this, my dad used to make bobcats when i was a kid and im now in my early 30s, i had never seen anything like this before as to how to do it, but i have recently completed training to use a forklift here in Australia and im excited to ask my dad more questions about his work before i see him in real life next as he lives like 6 hours drive away and show him this video when he comes to visit in a few months time, i am not sure if he made regular bobcats or skid steers as well, but this is so cool to me, i now live in tbe farming town in a country area where he and my uncle grew up and i live with ny uncle, dads brother, though they loved their childhood here, my dad now lives near a capital coty but i think even my uncle will find this a cool video too...
I had to watch this video, I work for a fire department on Long Island, New York.
I’m in charge of all the maintenance of the 4 fire house that are in our district as well as detailing all of our equipment including our Bobcat which has many uses for us.
You’re absolutely correct about the difficulties in detailing something like that.
I was looked at kinda strange when I was applying the tire shine to the tires as well but hey, it’s like putting on a nice suit with dirty shoes, it’s just not right!!!
The talking during the video is great and I like it better.
Keeping the mechanical parts clean will not only keep them working in prime shape, but allows you to see any future issues before they become a problem! It also shows customers your attention to detail and that you care for your things!❤
Bro not unnecessary at all it honestly just shows the appreciation for the hard work man🙏🏽
Now that was interesting. That was meant to be I guess. Nice Cleanup Mitch! Bobby looks great now! Have a great weekend 😅
As one of my Auto Tech teachers would say, "If she's-a no clean, she's-a no work"... so just as important to keep heavy equipment clean. Awesome job as always, Mitch.
Washing the Bobcat and playing the guitar show your true artistic talents - they are both a disciplined art and you master them! And of course, hats off to Lord Mike!
Just a quick tip. That non-skid sticker just inside the door will wear out quickly. Just take that thing off and spray some truck bedliner on that area. It will make that spot slip resistant. Ask me how I know. 🤣
as someone who works with heavy deisel equipment daily i was looking at your "dirty" bobcat thinking it was clean! Haha. Great work though!
Now that's something need to be cleaned, but it wasn't that dirty what it was supposed to be 😂
A unique Detail Geek video. Personally, I most enjoy the videos when you're cleaning older, trashed cars--the messier the better--and making them look better than anyone would think possible. Since you are a perfectionist, I expected nothing less in your approach to the Bobcat. It turned out looking the best it possibly could for what is a workhorse vehicle. And I liked that you talked with us during the video as you were completing the process.
Nothing unnecessary about it, it's great to take care of your equipment. It will take better care of you in the long run. Bobbie looks great!
The video was good, with the talking and all. It's nice to hear what you're doing throughout the video.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Was looking for this comment lol.
I used to clean those for my family’s tractor dealership and there are SO MANY nooks and crannies 😂 dirt just be coming out of everywhere and back on your cleaned spots 😂
It really says a lot about your standards as a professional detailer, Mitch. We can see it in all your customer detailing videos how meticulous as a detailer you are. It's really cool to see you take that much pride in a vehicle that's meant to be dirty all the time. That says a lot about you as a man... well done, Brother. 😎
Absolutely loved this, and really enjoy your calm almost monotone, so easy to listen to and learn from at the same time. Loved this format. Will keep coming back, and thoroughly enjoyed this through and through. Bobby looks fantastic!
First of all, everyone here knew that you wouldn't be able to not clean Bobby. Second, it's not overkill if it how you want to maintain your equipment. Finally, damn good job!
I really enjoyed this video. Taking care of equipment really does extend its useful life. The talking through this was great. I'd love to see your other machinery cleaned also. I notice a little "huffing and puffing" during this clean - cars are one thing, but this took both a lot of work and a lot of care in a new way. The cramped space inside and all the moving parts on the outside are much different than the usual car, and very interesting. Be sure to include some snow clearing in one of your future videos!
Great job! Taking care of your equipment will make it last longer. Customers will see the care you give to your things and for me that translates to how much a customer will trust you and keep coming back! Good video! However I missed my extractions of the carpet. Oh well I just wait til next week!
Mitch! Awesome work, that Bobby went from dirty to mint! To be honest, yes it's a challenging detail but achievable like you do allways! Congrats Mitch and i hope that this detail made you gain some exp in the field of cleaning heavy machinery :).
Congrats again and i hope to see more of this heavy machinery details coming soon! And obviously, congrats to the Bobby for all the good work he did! Greetings from Argentina!
