I'm not going to beat you up on chainsaw safety because not only do you know better but because you actually put it in the video to actually teach others about the safety that needs to be taken and that it can happen to anyone. You do a great job on being honest about what you do and I can't fault a man that does that. Awesome video Mike!
Thanks buddy
You betchya.
You owned up to your mistake so there is no need to bust your chops about it. Perfect example of it, thanks for sharing!
Thanks guys
Live and learn (school of hard knocks)
You are the man. Showing your wrong doings shows how secure you are with yourself. That is a good thing.
Excellent job explaining your oops with the chainsaw and thank you for not editing that out like you could have easily done. Great reminder to everyone.
Thanks buddy
That comment was meant for EVERY BODY!!!! I’m not singling you our Mike, I’m proud you showed it, that takes some “marbles”! To show your mistakes. You have always had my respect, now you have more! BE SAFE everyone!!
Watched old videos, then a podcast, some more old videos, then a live. Great way to spend a Sunday. Oh yeah I bought a hoodie also! Great channel.
Thanks Tom
good on you for not trying to hide the error. every one of us that operates saws/equipment/plows/etc has made errors. most of us not on video so would be "easy" to hide it if we wanted. but its always better to own up and learn and, in your case, TEACH about it. well done sir.
Thanks
Thanks for more content while social distancing. Great job on the channel. Been my favorite since i found it.
Awesome and glade you enjoy the channel
Guess I need to come out and help you brush up on saw safety! Mikey arghhhh! Good video buddy
lol yes sir
Nice shots of the country side and the job! I felt like I had a nice visit with you! Good job!
Thanks randy
Great video DP and that is a different angle than I have seen Captain's place before....didn't realize he had neighbors across the road, do they overlook the river? Please be careful Mike, you mean too much to thousands of people now all over the world, we can't lose good people like you or have you hurt...God bless you
Yup and thanks
Done that chainsaw trick myself bounced the tip off the side of a log and dug it in the ground. Also saw that bed scraper fly off when you dumped. My I suggest a bungee cord.
We've all been guilty of it at some point but good reminder on the safety gear. Every time I run a chainsaw without chaps I think to myself "I should be wearing chaps". Enjoyed seeing this quick little job.
👍
Keeping the chainsaw mistake in the video was very good, a lot of videos make it look like nothing similar ever happens to the pros
Thanks James
You pretty much sumed up the blunder. Lucky the chain cut gravel not flesh 🙄 being a highway maintenance foreman for thirty years I've had the same ol do what I say not what I do. Your once learned 👍
Good to see work carrying on and good on you for showing your near miss - we all take risks at times, and seeing someone else do it makes you think on... 👍
Work safe Mike take your time . God Bless .you and your family .
Thanks Leo
I can give you 2 incidents I’ve had with chainsaws, one time was when I worked for our DCNR in Pa we were out cutting brush clearing an old trail and as I was cutting the chain hit another limb and came back and hit my leg granted I was in all my gear but it is an eerie feeling when a saw comes back across your leg and the chaps do their job. The second incident I wasn’t as lucky I was cutting wood at my house and I was cutting the top log from the pile ( kinda one handed ) and before I could get my other hand up to grab the handle it kicked off the next log and came back twords my face but it bit me a little bit on the hand requiring a few stitches in my hand lucky that day also, I honestly think what saved my face besides my hand was that the saw wasn’t running at full speed when it kicked back, Like you said saw safety is no joke...I’m pretty sure any logger out there knows the same feeling and have much worse stories than mine...but like you said Mike it can happen that fast...Be safe everyone running saws....
Good job,thanks for the video.
Thanks
Great job keep up the good work love your videos thank you
you seen the opportunity and seized on the moment to teach a valuable life lesson a close call is to close safety only takes a moment but gives a lifetime back thanks for sharing
Thanks and thanks for watching
Thanks for keeping it real. So many just show there best and stuff that makes views.
Thanks Justin
you are right about wearing safety thing i wear my safety when using a chain saw like you video mike.
@16:40
You may not have had your PPE but the saws safety devices would have made a difference with that kick. Back when I was 13 or 14 (40 years ago 😱) I was with my Dad cutting firewood from a bush lot that had been logged so it was just tree tops left. The same kick happened to my Dad without the benefit of a chain brake guard being that they didn’t exist and the chain came up between his index and middle finger. Luckily it was only stitches that he needed.
I still remember him complaining after wrapping his hand in a rag and driving himself to the hospital that the needle being used for the stitches seemed duller than some 3 1/2” spikes he’s jabbed his hand on over the years.
Toughest person I’ve ever known. Glad he’s still around.
Great video. Happy the saw did not get you!
you don't now how many times that i have done that in the filling station and people just smiley at you praying for you and family God bless
Love the content as usual. Hope you and family stay safe in the current virus lockdown.
Thanks
Many of us get too complacent with dangerous equipment. It's good that you showed what can happen and it happens quickly.
Agree
yo - DP . thanks for the 'chain saw' lesson . i needed it !
👍 thanks for watching
Good video again I am glad the chainsaw did not get you please be careful with them my friend have a good day be safe
Thanks glen
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and adventures. Little morning wake up call, if you’ve never been there you haven’t been doing anything. Stay safe, wishing you and your family the best.
Thanks Tom
I am just glad you were not hurt. Chain saws can do a lot of damage on flesh in just seconds.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of this before or not but they have heavy duty grease gun holders that you can bolt onto anything. We bolt them to our dump trucks. Where the grease gun goes is perfect for a shovel and then they don’t fall off going down the road or when you dump. Just something to try if you’re interested.
👍
I got my order yesterday. Thanks for getting it sent out quick. I would have ordered a hoodie to but you was out of the size i needed .
Awesome and should have more in stock soon
Morning mike, yep life gotta keep going. Need to get me a small 304 next.
21:39 Your rake or broom bailed out on you.
Yup picked it up
Good to hear about the near-miss. We all make mistakes. However, you forgot to throw me under the bus also because I have quick couplers on the mini and skid steer LOL. Honestly though the best extra money I have probably ever spent hopefully you'll upgrade soon. Thanks take care
Great video have a great one and stay safe 👍
Thanks
I did the same as you and caught my work trousers on the
Knee it was lucky i had knee pads in the knees after that i bought
All the PPE for chain sawing.
Good video, details, details, details.
Thanks
The small red truck is very useful on these narrow roads.
It takes a real man to admit his mistakes, non of us are infallible. Glad you didn't get hurt.
Thanks
That’s also a reminder of how dangerous a table saw can be, especially when the first thing you do is throw away the saw blade guard. It’s no fun trying (or not trying) to stop a 10 inch blade with your finger. Great video “Tree Perfect”👌
In the 60’s I worked for a guy putting in septic systems. We used 1’ long by 4” clay pipe. I would have to say it came from the clay pipe place you mentioned. Just interesting because we put in thousands of those little things!
Great video Mike!
Good pointers on the PPE when you're working too. Hope you and the family are well and Staying Safe!
Doug@ the "ranch"
Thanks Doug
Mistakes happen. Glad to see your toes made it. The seat-belt is another. Got it on... very next frame off after lunch. ;) Then I hope you got your pick ax back from the fall on the third dirt dump. 21:40 LOL Cheers Mike. Nice eye opener there. G1
👍
There used to be a lot of clay tile plants in small towns here in central Iowa.They made drainage tile and clay tile building blocks.I know of 3 within 20 miles.
Jim Oakley west Kentucky full of the old clay tiles back years ago...sewer lines and road...guess that’s all they had
Stay tuned have a tour of one coming
@@DirtPerfect Can't wait to view.👍👍
We have several Farm Fields west of Cedar Rapids with active clay tile.
@@VideosByAl I have farms with clay tile that is still in use East of Indianola, Iowa. If we hit a old clay while installing new tile we hook them up if in good shape.Most are shallow.
Amazing video.
Thanks
Well Mike you showed a lesson learned hope all your viewers take note, on a side note wish they would read all the comments before commenting save you a whole lot of repetitive answering which takes time to do as I know.
Thanks barry and yes I agree just read a bit
Great reminder work safe.
Thanks mike
4:49 - $3 diesel... miss those days!
Agree
I just realized I watched them backwards lol 😂🤣 another Awesome video, just a thought if work gets too slow maybe Wade would give you some seat time in Brutus , okay no more thinking God bless yall in Derby In.
lol thanks buddy
I think if everyone was honest, very few people would've went "full chainsaw safety gear" to cut those 4 or 5 trees. It seemed a simple task but like you said... things happen fast and the next thing you know your having a very bad day. I appreciate the honesty and stay safe buddy!
Have had a saw kick back on me, bounced off the steel-toe. Eye opener for sure...
I bet
The main house on our farm was built in 1823 with bricks made on site. There is clay tile in the fields that could be close to that old, probably not made on site though. The clay tile always looks the same, just like it did at install. Stuff is amazing and you're correct, it's usually something else that causes an issue.
Yup for a cool video coming in the tile factory
This week I've got a landscape contractor doing work around the house. So far he's had 8 loads of fill hauled in. We're pretty much sitting on rock. Theres a few inches of soil.He's got a tiny Bobcat Excavator and a skidsteer. In a lot of places the rock is above the surface. Most of it is slate so we're busting it off and filling in. Where we can, we're using some of the bigger rocks in the landscape. There's slate, Schist, quartzite and granite. The rock comes out of the ground like it's growing. Hard to mow.
Yup and hard in the mower 😬
@@DirtPerfect that's why for the present time I"ve been using a walk behind Sickle bar mower. It doesn't throw rocks or pine cones :)
I am guessing that you needed to check your shorts after that. I am glad to see the Captain embrace his new PPE. It only takes a second with that chain running.
Wade sees that incident with the chainsaw he's going to tease the crap out of u lol but good video an be safe out there
Possibly
A little over a year ago a friend asked me to haul a 304 from our town to his new home, 25 miles away and through Custer State Park. There's an elevation change of over 2000 feet. He asked me as he only had a half ton RAM and I have a Duramax. After hooking up I tested the brakes and found they didn't work at all. Thankfully the speed limit through the park is 35 and I never went over 25. I had to bring It back a week later. That was easier as I was going up hill more than down. A couple of years ago someone rolled an excavator off it's trailer going through the park.
Yes I agree
Gm Mike.. sorry I have to write you up for the chain saw incident. Safety first mister!!
👍
Mike those trees are Ailanthus or Tree of Heaven. An aggressive invasive tree. May want to suggest to the homeowner to work on controlling them as they grow very fast and will clog that drainage again.
👍 thanks
that alarm on start up of the 304 cat was irritating my cats lol.
Lol I know it’s Loud
It’s hard to tell from the vid, was wondering if the outfall drain field ran along the edge of the drive or into the woods?
If the Derby Market runs out of TP... don’t forget the backup stock on the Paddle Wheeler!
lol yes sir
Good film 👍👍
My ❤ almost stoped
That makes one think an
extra time, glad your foot is still intact, that truck might loose the 📯 and you end up sleping in the cab if you are careful😉
stay safe everyone
Thanks Kent
good video
Thanks for the video and wondering when this was filmed related to Indiana's Covid rules. The governor here in NH plans to allow retailers to let a limited number of customers into stores beginning May 11. Thanks again...
Thanks and April 3
Great video, thanks for sharing. Did ya pick up your rake/shovel that fell off up at the dump site?
Thanks and yes
Good to know. Keep safe
@15.30 , this is the point where the owner comes out and tells you that those tree's were supposed to be staying and you're like oh sheeeeet hehe
😬😁
You are. Right, I beat up on Capt K. Many times about his chain sawing , I am talking from experience, chain saw bade can cut you as well as wood , take care
16:42 The channel August Hunicke is a professional arborist (removes dangerous trees). You should see the safety gear him and his crew wear. Cotontop3 also wears the right stuff.
👍
I'm with you safety first. hearing, eye and guards are a necessary part of any job.
I got a nice little scar on my knee from a kickback . I didn't get hurt too bad but stitches are no fun. And the shovel falling off the truck was a nice little touch.
Thanks
Saw the elite sticker in front of the hoist on 4th he bed.
Most people don't know this but the fuel gauge on newer vehicles shows you which side the filler is on...
Yup
Did you ever go back and get your shovel. I was wondering if it was gonna stay on the side and then saw it fall when you dumped. Good times. Have you ever seen the safety video, "shaking hands with danger"? Check it out. A classic.
Yes and yes thanks josh
Mike! You Got Time, Fix your Headliner !
Why been that way since I had the truck
@@DirtPerfect WHY? To Show us some more of yoour Dirt Perfect skills. We Don't get that on Letsdig18 or Eliteearthworks !
I cut my knee open with a chainsaw. My safety chaps were sitting in my basement. Hard lesson learned. I wear ‘em now.
The Kevlar chaps are cheaper than a reattachment surgery. Safety glasses or face mask are cheaper than going blind. And hearing protection keeps you from going def and shouting all the time like Logger Wade. Lol. Wade if you read this sorry man but you do shout on your vidjas.
👍
Mike get you a can of 3m spray glue and fix your headliner, it looks Horrendous on camera love your video’s man
Tried just stained it
Thumb tacks work great. You can to art with them too, spell Dirt Perfect and hold your headliner up!
👍
Staple gun.
Upholstery pins that are corkscrewed. Thats what I’ve used in the past. They wont come out.
Way to own up to your mistake with the saw.. We all at times don't always use PPE with a mindset it will only take a minute for the job as this shows it takes less than a minute for an accident to happen...However you did forget the seatbelt just before dumping the dirt & your shovel falling off the truck....lmao just pointing it out for the fun of it..🤣
Keep it up I enjoy the videos
Thanks Tom
Chain saw incident and not ALWAYS using your seat belt @ 20.27 !!! Naughty boy. Just sayin !! Stay safe and well and all your family in these dangerous days. Cheers
👍
a bit off topic but the "boom" swing, do you us it any ? looks like a good feature but never see any one using it.
I have a 304CR and use the boom swing on almost every job. I think guys who cut their teeth on bigger machines without boom swing don't use it as often out of habit/muscle memory. I don't know that for sure because I have never had a bigger machine and the 304CR is the only excavator I have owned. Do miss it though when I get on a buddies bigger machine.
After lunch no seat belt. Lol God bless
👍
Just can't beat a tilt top trailer. Safer to load also. My wife hates to see me load equipment, it scares her for some reason or another. Moving equipment and setup is half the work sometimes.
Yup and tilt top is much safer for sure
These things happen. Glad it was a reminder and not a trip to e r. Did you get your rake haha. Thanks for the video and stay safe
Thanks bruce
I feel like I need to send you some spray adhesive for your truck's headliner. Soon it will dust you like dandruff ... only itcher.
Lol it’s been that way since I have had the tuck
I've always written off minis as toys, but with a "perfect" operator they can do allot
Very handy machines
Haha seatbelt engaged... next frame its off. Lol 😆
Yeah man I messed up one time and ran a saw across the top of my foot. Ruined a new pair of boots and now I’ve got a weird scar that turns purple when my feet are cold. Happens super quick.
😬
Hey Mike shit happens. Good job.
Lol yup
How are you liking the 304? I’m looking at an E45 right now. If I get it it’ll be on my channel.
It’s ok at best
Was that the shovel or the rake you dropped at the dump site?
Rake got it
Great video Mike...just wanted to be the first to comment. lol
Lol thanks
😊
Yes safety is paramount. Think of an iceberg. A thousand near misses can lead to one serious incident.
looks like you need to glue your head liner up befor it rips any more
Been that way for 10 years 🤷♂️😁
I've spent more time than I care to remember working on the console for hydraulics like you have. Not goo on the belly.
Hey there man. Love your vids but not the narration quality. Use a separate microphone as the audio is always drowned out by the engine noise and its hard to hear what you are describing. One option I have found works well is a small digital recorder in your pocket with a lapel mic. Very reasonable price setup. the only thing is I have to line up the audio file with the video in post production but that's easy enough with good software. Another option is a wireless mic sending narration directly to the camera - more expensive but no extra editing. believe me the narration quality is light years better. Cheers
Sorry. It’s not going to get any better RUclips is a hobby not a job this is all I got time for appreciate the feedback
Accidents happen, but sometimes they are preventable good job owning up to it. Did you pick up your shovel?
Thanks and yes
