- I had a great time at the 2021 Utility Expo where a group of RUclipsrs got together for a meet and greet. Some big RUclips channels were there like: @letsdig18 , @DieselCreek , @Hfoutdoorsyt , @WatchWesWork , @TractorTimewithTim , @DirtPerfect , @HarmlessFarmerAndyDetwiler @DIRT-BOSS @DigginLife21 @fulltiltgrading8366 @shootersoptiontargets @eliteearthworksllc @digdrivediy and many others. I got to run some heavy equipment like the John Deere 310SL backhoe and a Hyaundai HX85A Excavator. Thanks to those that came out and for those that helped put this together!

Glade you made the trip was awesome spending time with you
Again, I can't thank you enough Mike for putting this together and inviting me along. Appreciate your hospitality during and after the event too!
It was such an awesome time great job capturing The Expo I missed all that!
It was tough to even think about filming. This was kind of a hodge podge of clips but got the point across. Thanks for the great conversations Mike!
@@digdrivediy i’m with you I think I filmed under five minutes worth of footage. Not even enough to make clips about
@@DieselCreek Yep. My mind was too distracted but glad to have a few memories.
Awesome video! It was great to meet and visit a little bit! Thanks for the shirt as well! 👍🏻
Hey thanks Brandon! Glad we got to meet up for sure!
Another perfectly executed video Neil! Can’t tell you how much I enjoy watching the videos you make. Great to meet you and was so glad we had some time to spend getting to know each other. Thanks again buddy 👍🏻
I really appreciate hearing that Ed. It means a lot when another creator says it. I too am really thankful for our talks. Looking forward to next time already!
Well done! Enjoyed spending the time with you and the others!
Thank you kindly Tim. I felt a little more at ease with you folks being there. It was a great experience!
Awesome video man, super well put together! It was great to meet you, hope we all get to do it again someday!
Hey thanks a lot Matt! I was very glad to meet you as well and I'm looking forward to the next get together. Thanks for checking out the video!
Man this is like a who's who of the tractor & grading RUclips world. Glad you had fun Neil!
This was a great time! I was chatting with you at 6:00 in the video. I wish I had watched your channel before the expo but I guess that was part of the whole thing, to discover new channels.
Right on Lee! I'm glad we got to meet at the Expo. We have proof of it for sure now! Appreciate you watching sir!
Awesome is correct. Glad you went to the show and thanks for letting us come along.
The new logo will be a hit. I like it.
Really appreciate the feedback on the logo. As always thanks so much for watching!
Like the new logo. Very creative. You captured the expo and M&G well. Always worth watching whatever you produce. You seem to have a perspective others don’t. And make no mistake, you belonged with the others. You earned your spot.
Thanks so much. That means a lot Bob. I enjoy the challenge of trying to convey a different perspective. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching.
HOLY SMOKES! I MADE THE VIDEO! And I thought the handshake was the honor!
Wonderful meeting you, had a blast, would have loved to hang around Friday but life had some other plans. Hope to see you again soon!
Also, best intro ever hahaha
I was very excited to meet you. I think you're the first one I talked to that I hadn't already met. Glad we got to hang out and learn a little more. Appreciate the support too Jason. Until the next time!
Awesome Logo Neil , don’t ever think you content is any less relevant to your viewers and subscribers , I also watch all the channels you’ve mentioned and the appeal is your down home attitudes and you stand on an equal footing with these guys
Thanks Derek. I will say that nobody there acted as if subscriber count mattered. Everyone was as humble and personable as could be and we all interacted as equals but it is hard to shake it the back of your mind for some reason. I appreciate the words of encouragement! It is a great learning experience regardless. Thanks for watching!
Hi Neil , You must have been pleased to meet like minded souls because your interest in producing content that in someways unique and in others very similar lol only RUclipsrs would know how isolating and scary it is to put you life on line like that ,,what you must think of us who peer into yor activities be assured I for one am grateful for the instructive content that is a mile away from my life I don’t think you realise just you driving down your county roads or into a field that is as big as my town makes my eyes widen , thank you
Cool to see Engcon rotors in the states too. Keep it up from Sweden!
Nice video Neil, I liked the mic you made, creative, nice cabin on the river too.
Thanks a bunch Don! It was a cozy place to kill some time! The mic was a gag but is 100% functional too. Thanks for checking it out!
another nice video Neil . thanks for the video . Sincerely Hollandduck from the Netherlands
Thank you very much sir!
Good times, friends and fun. 👍👏
Yes it certainly was. Thanks Skylar!
Awesome! You did an incredible job of pulling this together. You nailed the experience perfectly.
As a big time D-D-DIY fan, meeting you ticked a big experience off my bucket list. Your friendly smile and firm handshake were all I needed to know, you were as genuinely nice as I hoped you’d be.
I apologize for blocking your camera angle…. I didn’t realize you were recording from your flag. (Did you get to keep the flag?)
Neil, I am honored to be one of the first to receive one of your tee’s. Stay tuned to see how it helps me fix a problem… that I may have totally overlooked without it!
I got a bit nervous watching you walk out on that rickety dock. It wasn’t until I didn’t see a splash at the end that I realized you were riding on your drone. Another awesome scene among numerous perfectly thought out views.
Once again, thanks for making the day a pure joy!
I went into this without a clear vision for how I wanted to film anything, or if I even should film anything. I didn't want to shove a camera in anyone's face at first meeting but still wanted to document it. I had some rolling of our conversation too but my camera was apparently up against my shirt so it's all black. Like you mentioned, I forgot it was even rolling most of the time!
But, I'm glad you thought it was a good representation of the experience. There was a bit of sensory overload at times and well, the camera angles kind of suggest that too!
I'm glad someone mentioned that dock shot! I had thought about walking out there first and the likelihood of me falling in triggered the idea of the drone flight instead! There are lots of cool views around Derby to capture for sure.
I can't wait to see the use of the shirt to solve a problem! I'm intrigued now.
Meeting you was one of the highlights of my trip. You were just as I had expected too. Thanks for coming out because you were the only one I was sure would be there!
See ya next time around!
@@digdrivediy that camera in your face… of a bunch of faces you see on camera… was a conundrum that I didn’t resolve on video. I decided to take still shots of most people instead.
Nonetheless, I captured memories that I’ll not soon forget.
I hope to post the video tomorrow…. On my way home from Florida.
Nice, good to see you guys together.
Good times
That’s pretty cool. I talked to Brock about tagging alone but taking a week off of work just wouldn’t have worked out. Looked like a great time & you got to meet others that have a similar interest. 👍
It really was a pretty good time. I was glad to give up a couple days of work for it but missed being at home too. Thanks for watching it Jeff!
You are an incredibly humble man. It is massively to your credit but believe me when I say you have more than earned your place in this company. Truly enjoyable channel - keep it up and thanks. 🏴
Thanks so much Mark! I really appreciate the kind words and I know I see you in the comments on the other channels too so thankful all the support. If we didn't have the viewers we wouldn't have anything!
Looks like they need to dig, drive, diy that pier. 😀 Beautiful location
Very cool, thanks for sharing with those of us who couldn’t come! Hopefully one day I’ll make it to an event to properly thank you for the content you and many other creators put out.
I would like that Andrew. The comments are fantastic but the real life meeting is hard to beat! Thanks for all your support!
Good times. thanks for sharing
It was fun!
Don't worry Neil, keep growing your channel and it won't be too long and you'll have that backhoe! Great video.
Oh boy that would be cool! I'll keep trying! Appreciate the support as always!
That was cool, looked like you were having a ball rubbing elbows with all the other RUclips guys
Oh yes. It was certainly a good time. Hope to do something like it again. Paul was a big help making me feel like I wasn't alone too.
Loved the intro and making the little microphone.
It’s ironic but I stayed at the Rodeway Inn too
Curious what you’re doing in Derby? Future video maybe?
Have a good one
You answered that last question right after I typed it
That intro was an attempt at something clever and a bit if a gag. Glad that you liked it 👍🏻 Again it was nice to meet you at the show Brock. Yeah, Derby was just a get together. Wished there could have been more video opportunities. Thanks for checking this out!
Neil, Great to meet you at the expo. Always love your videos. Please keep up the great work. David D in NC
Hey David! I really enjoyed our chat and I can't thank you enough for stopping to say Hi. It was one of the highlights for me. Take care!
Nice to see all my favorite youtubers all together having an awesome time !😁
It was cool Ron. Thanks for watching and being such a great supporter of all of us!
Great video! It's pretty awesome just to go down the list of commenters and see who posted. Sigh, someday (maybe).
Thanks a lot. Yeah, it's cool that the other folks have weighed in with comments for sure. Thanks for watching!
Great video Neil, congrats on the 29K wow 👍🏻👍🏻. Keep those great videos coming 🙂🙋🏼♂️👍🏻
Thanks so much! I'll keep trying. I have so much filmed but I take too long to edit! Appreciate the support!
great video very weld done buy this time next year i bet you will have 100 K subs
Boy, that would be cool Henry. That's a big number though! I'll keep trying! Thanks for watching.
Great video Neil!! So nice meeting you ☺️
Thanks so much Stephanie! Great meeting you as well and thanks for checking out the video!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing...
You bet! Appreciate you watching Paul!
New logo looks good. As a fellow Millennial Farmer fan, loved the "thunder" reference. Good video.
Thanks Jason! I hoped that someone would appreciate that! :)
Those 310 sl’s are amazing
Very nice machines. Would take one for sure!
Good to meet you and everyone else there.
Glad you made it to the show! Thanks so much!
looked like a great time.great logo, you did a nice job on that mike
It was a good time! Thanks so much Ron 👍🏻
Right on buddy!
Thanks Hank! It was great to meet you sir!
Great video Neil ! "Diggin" the new logo. As usual your content never disappoints.
Thank you very much SW!
Looks like a fun time!
Oh yeah! It was great. I really appreciated being a part of it. Thanks for watching!
Must have been a longgggg golf cart ride to have such an “intimate” conversation! Haha
Definitely. My cart wouldn't have enough juice for that one!
Thanks
typed in meet and greet and yours was the first one that came up 👍🎃
That's cool to know! Thanks!
“Nicest guy “ I can attest to that! That’s a dangerous thing to do going to the expo …. You’re bound to find something you really need/want,,,, have to have!😂. Take care my friend!
Oh, there was a lotta things there that should have come home with me. Unfortunately RUclips isn't paying the bills quite enough yet😉. I'll just keep dreaming! In 25+ years I could be in the market for a backhoe like that! Thanks so much Mike!
It was nice meeting you. Hell it was awesome meeting you. What was that fancy word you used? What is your title? Haha 😄 I will never pronounce it right🤣🤣
I really enjoyed getting to meet you and hanging out. Wished I had the camera rolling when we talked 😋 Neil the
"A g r o n o m I s t". :)
Very well done and cool post Neil. It was great to see you get to meet and mingle with your peers and fans. Gotta say son, you looked as giddy and nervous as a schoolgirl up there, but you pulled it off! The new logo is excellent and the hat is sharp. Glad you had a good time and we can live it vicariously through you! I have one burning question though. Who thought it was a good idea to give Kleeman a beer at the BBQ? He destroys stuff sober as a nun. Anyway, looked like a good time had by all and thank you for taking us along for the ride brother!
I think Kleeman was just digging through everyone's coolers :) Nah, it was a great time. I was pretty nervous for a bit but felt like an old pro by the end of it. (not really)
Hey, I got a couple stickers for you in an envelope about to head your way! Thanks for the support dude!
@@digdrivediy You are an awesome hunk of an Agronomist brother! I don't care what Greg says about you after you leave work for the day!
You have a super positive channel I’m glad I found it
Thanks very much Boitano!
Looks like you had a great time.
Sure did Aaron. I looked forward to it and wasn't disappointed at all! Thanks for watching!
Outstanding
Appreciate it Tim!
Another great video.
I appreciate that BG!
That’s an impressive show! I liked that International truck you showed, of course I’m an International truck guy. I might need to get to know your cousin if he works for them 😂! Neil you are the nicest and most humble RUclipsr, I’ve watched other videos from the expo and you were the friendliest of them all. Glad you had this experience. I hope to meet you one of these days! Keep up your great attitude and excellent videos!
I knew you'd like that! Ben I was trying to talk my cousin into a truck sponsorship to make a dump truck from! Wouldn't that be awesome?!? Not likely though 🤣
Thanks for the kind words. I enjoy the interaction and I'm very humbled that anyone watches. RUclips is certainly a labor of love mixed in with a few days of frustration! You're doing a great job with your channel too!
Thanks for watching!
@@digdrivediy yes, he should help you out with a sponsorship, sales would sky rocket for them!
Appreciate what you said about my channel!
I bet it was pretty cool to meet people you only know as a screen name. I laughed my butt off when you explained why they called it the Roadway Inn. I'm glad it didn't have a more ominous name like The Ax Murder Motel. I enjoy your content and DP was right, your editing skills are unparalleled. Thanks for doing what you do.
I didn't mention it, but they could have called the hotel "The Airport Flight Path Inn" as well! The planes woke me up before the traffic 😋
Thanks a million Blackdog. You're a great supporter of this channel and I appreciate it!
Neil, I wish you would have got a shot of a barge going down the Ohio river!! Great video BTW
I know! I had everything packed up and put away and then I heard a barge coming. Never did get a chance to film one but that would have been cool! I saw at least two coal barges while I was there. Never gets old. Thanks for watching Scott!
The barges were definitely impressive. We got to see two side by side....racing so to speak at one point.
Logo looks great...!
I appreciate that Gregg!
That was awesome! Great video 👍
Thanks Rob!
Great video niel. Now if only you could get a demo.....
Yeah, no kidding Kory! Thanks man!
Great love your videos thank you
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching so many of them Ed!
Nice New Logo!
Appreciate it Dustin!
Great video!! Wish I could’ve made it out there! Maybe next time! Since it’s 15 minutes away lol!! The new logo looks great!!
It was a great time! Being 15 minutes away would be cool! Lots of good shows there at the Expo Center. Thanks for watching! Next best thing; right?!
@@digdrivediy You’d love the National Farm Machinery Show, it’s huge. Can’t wait to see some of your trip!
@@matthartlage3463 Oh yes. I've been to that show many times, but never since RUclips! I hope to go this upcoming year.
@@digdrivediy well let me know!! I’ll meet ya out there! I always stick up in gloves! LOL!!
Love that new logo, well done!
Thanks a lot Ryan!
Great Job, Neil!
Thanks Dewayne!
Great video!
Thanks Tony!
Looked like fun, good job
It sure was. Thanks Greg 👍🏻
Nice I'm jealous could do with something like that round here 👍
Nice video I enjoyed it
Thank you Dean.
I'm a Certified Johndeere Dealer Tech. FYI You already have the Best Johndeere Backhoe the 310sl no scan tool or special tool needed to to work on🤟. You should keep a look out for future 210l grader lol.
Loved this episode. Hopefully one day we can meet up.
That would be great Jeremy! Thanks for checking it out!
Great video & nice microphone. I kinda thought you’d use 1/8” round stock & make a Bob Barker style. Maybe next time.
Ha! That thought actually crossed my mind!!! That would have been funnier for sure. It was mostly a gag but gave me something to use as an ice breaker. Thanks Lucas!
Great thank you
logo IS COOL!
Thanks!
The equipment is nice and all, but I would really like to hear more about the Dolphins.
I'll have to watch this video again to even know what you're talking about 😋
Good morning Bubba 🤠👍
Morning Cowboy!!!
@@digdrivediy Super cool video. I hope you don't mind but I will be asking about video production. You are really good at that stuff. AWESOME Video 👍👊
@@CowboyCarCrushing Thanks! Ask away!
Great video. Was that show open to the public? It would be great to go to some of the shows where you will be. When I retire next year I would love to go to a lot of things like this show and others so if you could comment where and when, it would be wonderful. You do need that John Deere backhoe.
This is open to the public but it cost $35 to pre-register. It's even more the day of show. I wished it didn't cost anything but it also helps to let only the people in that truly want to be there. The machines are available to anyone also so kinda screens the crowds a bit! I'll be sure to mention if I'll be anywhere!! Thanks!
@@digdrivediy I have not done a lot of things because either there was no time or there were things to take care of here at home so when there is time we would like to go enjoy things. I just like to window shop, will I buy, no, but it will give me ideas for something I might want to make, hummm kinda like what you do
neil if you want that backhoe you can set up a fundraiser and we can also set up another fund raiser for a f350 single wheel drive for you as well
Maybe some day I'll come up with the cash. Thanks for watching Aiden!
@@digdrivediy np always nice seeing you reply to my comments
I really wanted to try and make it there to talk with you, and ask you questions. Didn’t get there this year but hopefully next time you’re out and about I can run into you.
That would be great 👍🏻 I hope there are more opportunities for stuff like this cause it is just good fun for all involved. Thanks for watching and the support of the channel!
Good folk
You bet! Thanks Andy!
How many subscribers does it take for John Deere to have you long term demo that backhoe ? 😀
Ha! I don't know if there is enough! I'm guessing I'm still a bit short but I should find out! Thanks Jim!
Whenever “someday” comes i call Dibs on yours 🙃
Ha! If someday comes I have a feeling I'll need a sign up sheet! 😎
Watch them all thanks and more please!
Really appreciate it Cliff. I'm working on making a couple extra episodes a month. We'll see.
I dig the new logo! And I’ve been looking buy a new hat recently Do you have a website where you sell merch?
Thanks! I haven't done a website or anything yet for merch. Think I could sell any of them? I might pursue it.
I don’t think it will be enough to pay for that new backhoe. But it’s a start. Throw it out on an upcoming video and see how much interest you get in the comments. I’ll buy a hat and a hoodie.
@@gabrielchristopher9625 Ha! Yeah, I'm sure you're right about the backhoe! I might just gauge the interest as you suggest. Would be fun to make some for sale. Thanks a bunch!
👍👍🍺🍺😊😊
I stayed in that hotel when i went there
Cat backhoes are even better than that now
Wes sent me. 😀
Hey welcome Stephen and thanks for checking it out! Hope you can find something you like here :)
310 SL SOMEDAY 🤣🤣🤣 ME TOO BUT FOR NOW I DO THE SAME MONEY WITH MY 310 SE ITS ALREADY PAY.
I hear ya Oscar! Same for me. Not much difference in how they function to be honest. Heck, the rear backhoe is still nearly identical to our 310SE! Thanks for watching!
@@digdrivediy that right body tks you u
John Deere should give you a machine to show on your channel
BEST COMMENT AWARD WINNER right here! Haha! Wouldn't that be awesome!? :)
Oops sorry forgot to subscribe
Fixed that.
Hey thanks Dan!
@@digdrivediy LOL 😂 like JPayDirt says “ I’m busier than a one eyed man in a wet T-shirt contest!” 😂
If you’re not familiar with Jeff’s channel you should click over and check it out n see if’n ya like it. Seriously he’s been at it for over 10 years and I pick up a lot of cool angled shots, backgrounds, foregrounds yeah he does a lot with his videos.
Jeff and his two sons make some fantastic videos of heavy equipment. Jeff is a walking Encyclopedia, with a sense of humor, there is a plethora of information on on a lot of different older equipment.
But don’t believe a word he says about Frank over on DiggingOK
Oh yes, I've watched a handful of his videos. I remember watching him back in the day as well. It really is great stuff. I'd love to get to meet him someday. And Frank for that matter too! Frank and I deep rooted backhoe enthusiasts!
