The reason the roller isn't is exciting - is the same reason it was why it was the first machine I got to operate. It really doesn't take a lot of brain power and its hard to mess up. But it makes a huge difference to the quality of the job.
You know someone in the Carolinas is watching you trying to spread that rock thinking WTH. Lol. I have to admit that that grader attachment for the skid steer is pretty cool.
You Certainly Tailgated That Stone Better Than Most “Professional” Drivers I Have Encountered. And I’ve Encountered A Few. Catch You On The Next One, Keep It Safe Out There
@19:10, I have never seen a skid steer grader attachment. That's about the most clever attachment when you have a skid steer, and rarely need a big motor grader.
Brilliant job ... Driveway looks a million times better now , that grader is really good on the skidsteer ...cool piece of kit to have , well done guys .... Pretty sure the owner will be delighted with your work.... Big thumbs flying high from a galaxy far far away called Ireland ☘️🇮🇪🍻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow Mike n Matt another quality job done by Dirt Perfect and NYA Millennial " Not Mr. millennial" another runway with a crown for the water 🌊 to drain. Looks fantastic boys 👍👍👍. keep up the good work.
Talking 'nose tingle' how about 'teeth edging'! - those bucket teeth on the sandstone (fingernails drawn down a chalk board). The attachment to the skid steer really does a good job. Rolling may be boring but the finish is worth it. Another informative video thanks DP.
Nice job Mike. I'd give you 95% on this project. Turn that roller around where the tires lead and the drum follows that eliminates the tire tracks. Leaving those tire imprints means it isn't compacted enough where rain can loosen it up and owners car will pick up the loose material and eventually develop pot holes. Just a suggestion
Nice job on the road. Only thing I would have done extra is put some rip rap at the uphill side of the pipe and an apron pad and rock at the exit of the pipe.
Mike just wanted to say that was an excellent job. your attn. to detail is a commitment to your work. You guys all work well together and love the cutting up. I have retired about a year ago with 39 1/2 years in the system bridge construction gang on the Union Pacific R.R.. Most of the time i ran a John Deere 225RC LTC up to a 450 John Deere, all our job sites were mostly taken care of with excavators. Love to send you some pictures of our jobs we did over the years. You are an inspiration to a lot of folks that don't realize what goes in to doing a job from start to finish. Can't wait to see the next one.
How does that song line go, What a difference a day makes, that road is better than some where I live in the UK and they're tarmacked! I am sure that years ago most of our roads had a simple camber on them, now they are mostly level and people wonder why we get more pot holes! As usual both you and Matt working together makes the task so much easier. New sport idea, drain pipe wrestling, am sure Matt can make money by giving some lessons. 😂🤣😂
Your man there appears to have a good eye for grade. I like the skid steer grader blade set up, i seems to be the ticket for that job and I would imagine one lot cheaper to maintain then a actual grader it self.👍
Recently there was an auction here and I noticed that there was a GALION K5 road grader in it. Might have been nice to have to maintain our paved roads in our development when it snows.
The eccentric swinging weight vibrating roller is one of mans great inventions in compacting greatly improving road base eliminating most road settling problems
Super Job, Well Done. Great to have a good road base already there. Rock bucket did a good job to dig the ditch & culvert. Brought the road up to current standards with low maintenance.
I know it's on camera but you must have a lot of happy workers working for you.. That's the key everyone enjoy life you only get one.. Dicky Mint from Durham England say hats off to you. 👏👏👏👏👏
Good job making 'teeth' on that bucket and we've seen it a few times on jobs - good move! Nice Road Grading & Building, 'TAILGATING' and the State Highway Dept may be calling upon you! Good EDUCATIONAL CONTENT as well. Thank you DIRT PERFECT! Sonny (I remember when you installed the grader controller - COOL!)
Mikey… the basics of road building were well known by Roman times. Unfortunately, our county road district has never read any classic Roman literature. I suspect they skipped right from Dr. Seuss to Mad Magazine! My daughter lives at the intersection of two roads. The paved road is a county line. On one side the county has installed culverts, graded the ditches and paved the crossroad. On her side, there is no culvert. The ditch along the county line road is silted in. Water backs up to the unpaved crossroad. That is the front corner of her yard. The unpaved road gets graded once a year. Usually in the summer when the ground is bone dry. The grader blade bounces from stone to stone, rolling them out of the road bed. The last pass of the grader is to go down the center making it flat and piling the uprooted rocks into the already full ditches. The result is that the roadbed becomes the drain. The intersection becomes a pond. The ditches can’t be mowed because they are filled with huge boulders. And, the county saves a bunch of money from grading and gravel cost! This fall, they did dump a half load of limestone gravel in the pond. By the time the water had receded the lime slurry had coated their yard and the gravel made deeper pot holes that haven’t dried out since they dumped it there! So Mikey, you keep building roads using the tried and true classic Roman techniques and I’ll keep sending video links to the county commissioner!
I work for a county road department. I'm not going to make any excuses for what you are seeing, some departments are pretty bad. But also remember there are factors to consider which you may not be aware of and may not be in the control of the road department. I wouldn't necessarily jump on their case and immediately say they are bad. Maybe there are future plans for that road and they are only doing the minimum necessary until they implement those plans. Or maybe there are other reasons. For example, we catch a lot of flack for plugged ditches, even though we spend a lot of time and money ditching. One reason, we are a small shop (only 10 guys) and our shop is responsible for almost 200 miles of roadway. The other factor is the idiot environmentalists have complained. So now every ditch that drains into the bay is considered a fish bearing stream and requires pulling permits not only with fisheries but also with the local tribes. This can take months or years to get approved, just for cleaning out a ditch. We also have homeowners that illegally modify the ditch. And then we have other responsibilities too. We do everything from paving and chip sealing, to mowing and tree trimming. If it's in the right of way, we're responsible. It's a lot of work for 10 guys to do. Again, I'm not justifying the crew where you are at. Maybe you're right and they are bad or lazy. I'm just pointing out that there may be other factors involved as to why things aren't necessarily getting done or are getting done haphazardly. I am glad to hear you are involving the county commisioner though.
@@mikel9567 I believe you are correct… the county on their side of the road is less populated and has fewer businesses. The county seat is in the largest city in the center of the county. They keep the roads near it in great condition. As you travel outward the attention declines precipitously. By the time you get to the county line it is as bad as I described. The local crew is designated as a ‘Special Road District’. The area that they cover is paved East/West almost entirely. Very few North/South roads are paved…. All those are treated the same as my daughters. In their talks with the County Road Commissioners, my SIL & daughter have been told for 9 years that the Special District had funds to adequately cover ditching and grading expenses… yet, their road is in this condition. I think there is something going on that they do understand… the half load of gravel only showed up after my daughter mailed a picture of the flooded intersection to three of the county commissioners… and one to the county newspaper. I have lived along country roads almost all of my life. The crews are hard workers and do what they can with what they have. It appears to me that this crew suffers from the politicians who fix the roads where the votes are and not where it is needed most. I don’t fault the crew… I fault their bosses.
OK MIke you redeemed your self drop spreading the crusher run. That grader attachment is soo useful, and you have it dialed in , the proof is in the finish product. So glad Mat stayed awake on the roller. Be safe look forward to the next adventure.
As always a great video and rolling can be boring but nice to see how it completes the job every machine has a place always nice to know how they function 😁🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I miss doing work like that.worked for my dad back in high school.started running a old hd-16 my freshman yr of high school.he owned a d-4 a scraper and two small draglines.i also worked in coal mines later running heavy equipment.
Hi Mike and Matt, you could add some excitement to the roller video by using the blade to smooth the stone out before rolling it and making it smootherer. lol Take care
That Grader attachment works slick...Crowns the road nicely. Great job. Thats one of my favorite things too do is building a road or Repairing one that is a Mess..Its Gratifying when you get done with it how they turn out..Great Video.
Another great video, I love that grader blade attachment for the skid steer. And then after that you all packed the road bed down and then where that you cut the big rock down in the ditch line and elevated the road, the road should be in really great shape for a long time to come . So another great job done by Dirt Perfect . Thumbs up !!! As always, Jeffrey !!!
Where I live in South Dakota, there is a rails to trails pathway that runs from the SW corner of the state to Deadwood. It's a little over 100 miles. Currently they are resurfacing it. They are using a CAT road grader with tire rollers behind to compact and smooth it. I recently took a walk on it and hit a portion that hadn't been compacted. It was like walking on beach sand. I'm sure people would prefer it were paved, but it's used by everyone from pedestrians to people on horseback.
All what you said is true about building a drive, good base, crown and getting the water off as fast as possible, and rolling to pack it tight. But after all that the way to keep it that way is not to think it’s a interstate and drive on it like your in a hurry to get some where. A straight drive not so bad but curves and people driving fast rolls the rock every trip up and down and before you know it more rock and more time spending fixing where water starts running where you don’t want it to.
We enjoy watching the machinery, with little face time. Explains a lot off camera. We like the explanation of how the machine works, while it is in the camera frame and actually working as it passes by. First time seeing the steer skid grader at work . Good luck on future videos / jobs. No criticism meant.
You have the Road good for this Days Transformiert, congratulation! But i have readily see a Rally the old Road, a Great course Trail 🚗🏍️ 😆 Good video to your work! Greeting 🇦🇹❄️
Roller footage can be relaxing like raking sand.
Compactor is part of the job. :) What a beautiful place that is. Thank you and have a great day.
I do like the roller footage because you can see an instant difference
That’s a good looking road. I’d never seen a grader attachment like that, it does an amazing job.
Thanks
Enjoyed the video DP. Awesome job.
Thanks
Roller footage is good.
Thanks
The property owners are going to be amazed at how wonderful of a job you did on that driveway. It really turned out nice. Another dirt perfect job!
Thanks
Watching the roller is a stress reliever and the guy driving it is awesome 🙂
Your tipping/spreading skills are nearly as good as Andrews.😂👍👌
WOW!!! That roller operations was so EXCITING I had to go take a nap! Purtnear missed supper!! 😜
Lol
The grader attachment mesmerized me. That history be the best attachment ever.
One of my favorite things to do is watching dirt turn it's relaxing you guys made a nice woods road thanks again John
Thanks
Matt is probably the best roller driver in the world 😉👏👍
👍 nothing wrong with roller footage. 🏊♂️ Beats watchn' water boil.
Well done! Never seen a grader attachment operated that effectively before!!! Makes me want to build one!!!
Watching some driveway repair is a nice change.
I like seeing all the stages including the roller
Roller videos with Mr. Millennial are always perfect.
Roller footage is part of the process so keep it in you videos. Love your videos!
The reason the roller isn't is exciting - is the same reason it was why it was the first machine I got to operate. It really doesn't take a lot of brain power and its hard to mess up. But it makes a huge difference to the quality of the job.
I think the roller makes all the difference, good job! J.R.
That grader attachment is super handy!
that grader attachment is awesome, but NYA's magic touch makes the roller video worth watching!
Give Matt and MBTS their camera time. The roller is their machine. Lol God bless
You are the only person that I have seen with that grader attachment it is a great tool to have
Those rock teeth are awesome they really get the job done. And as always another perfect job. Keep the videos coming DP.
The more I watch the grader attachment, the more I want one!
You know someone in the Carolinas is watching you trying to spread that rock thinking WTH. Lol. I have to admit that that grader attachment for the skid steer is pretty cool.
Mike's THRILLING Roller channel!
You Certainly Tailgated That Stone Better Than Most “Professional” Drivers I Have Encountered. And I’ve Encountered A Few. Catch You On The Next One, Keep It Safe Out There
That’s one hell of a grader you put on that skid steer it does a fantastic job big thumbs up with that grader
Thanks
Now 104K. Congrats on blowing through 100K. Good topics, keen insight and light patter. Much thanks.
Thank you!
That grader attachment is slick, never seen one before
I believe with all my heart that you guys love to play in the dirt! I will also bet you had some play toys to move dirt when you were young!
It is satisfying to see the finished product after the roller packs it down. 👍👍😊
As always, what an awesome transformation. It looks fantastic.
Great video Michael.
Thanks Tom
I've seen a lot of dirt roads in Vermont but none look this good.
@19:10, I have never seen a skid steer grader attachment. That's about the most clever attachment when you have a skid steer, and rarely need a big motor grader.
Works awesome
It’s not the roller it’s the crew that’s nice to watch thanks again
Your little grader attachment sure does a terrific job. From Australia
Brilliant job ... Driveway looks a million times better now , that grader is really good on the skidsteer ...cool piece of kit to have , well done guys .... Pretty sure the owner will be delighted with your work.... Big thumbs flying high from a galaxy far far away called Ireland ☘️🇮🇪🍻👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks
Couple mirrors on the front of that grader attachment would allow you to see the blade.. You did a nice job of the road!
Roller results are great to see for your finish product!👍
@26:20
I’ve driven on many Interstate highways and that driveway is probably smoother than most northern ones.
Lol thanks buddy
I watch a lot of videos and nobody does a better road than dirt perfect…
Thanks buddy
Nice job, NYAM can step up his roller game by making the last passes in reverse to get the tire tracks out, 😆 lol
Wow Mike n Matt another quality job done by Dirt Perfect and NYA Millennial " Not Mr. millennial" another runway with a crown for the water 🌊 to drain. Looks fantastic boys 👍👍👍. keep up the good work.

Wow I wish I had that packer on my drive!! Now if you had just a nice slow rain for a day. !!
I have watched your channel since you started and loved every minute of it keep up the great work.
Thanks Greg
Super Job, Well Done. Great to have a good road base already there. Rock bucket did a good job to dig the ditch & culvert. Brought the road up to current standards with low maintenance.

Always informative, interesting and fun to watch. Thanks for posting. 👍🇬🇧
I know it's on camera but you must have a lot of happy workers working for you.. That's the key everyone enjoy life you only get one.. Dicky Mint from Durham England say hats off to you. 👏👏👏👏👏
Love that grader attachment. Had a full size do our road and of course it couldn't handle the curves.
Now this is a video that I really enjoyed, Thanks Mike
Thanks
The blade attachment is great.
You'd think you new what you where doing!! Great job
12:30- Watching them put the culvert in, all I can hear is POST 10 saying it should b buried at least half it's diameter
What an Impressive Result! The Perfectionist!
Good job making 'teeth' on that bucket and we've seen it a few times on jobs - good move! Nice Road Grading & Building, 'TAILGATING' and the State Highway Dept may be calling upon you!

Thank for videos you and tractor Tim take up 60percent of my day stroke you guys help better than you know
The GMC sounds mean, I never get tired of listening to that truck. Well done guys.

Another great video, I love that grader blade attachment for the skid steer.

As always, Jeffrey !!!
Thanks 👍
Awesome job, enjoy your videos!
Thanks
For some reason I find these road building projects very satisfying, looks great!
Nice tailgate job.... roller’s great to see the finishing touch
Thanks

Thanks
think this is the first vid of yours ive watched, hear about you on other channels all the time. That's a very nice finish you got on this! subbed
Thanks welcome to the channel
The roller might be boring, but the end result speaks for itself, came out just perfect, Driveway Perfect !😁
VERY cool idea on the rock bucket. Looks like it really worked well. Smart thinking.
Thanks
Cool video DP road looked good all done roller footage was perfect not to much not to little 👌 ✌️👍😎🇺🇲
i like the roller makes it look so nice
I like watching all the steps to the finishing project. 👍
Mike what about some kind of wripwrap at the beginning of the culvert? Do you do anything like that to help keep the dirt from filing it in?
No need
@@DirtPerfect thank you

Definitely fix dodo drove for sure those look good👍👍👍👍👌 God bless🙏
I see that reliable Chevrolet instrument cluster doing a dance on the way to the quarry
here is an idea for an INTERESTING SHOT on the roller, attach the GOPRO on the drum as so it will rotate with it
Mr. Millenium took the words right out of my mouth
We enjoy watching the machinery, with little face time. Explains a lot off camera. We like the explanation of how the machine works, while it is in the camera frame and actually working as it passes by. First time seeing the steer skid grader at work .

From byway to highway. Love it! The change from 6" to 8" (?) culvert will double/triple the flow, too.

looking good mr dirt and your team did fine job
Thanks
