Thanks Captain for not leaving us hanging with regards to that rock.
Hell yes...if that rock stayed he definitely would have got a wtf from me lol
💪
"He did what Kleeman's do. Took a chainsaw, and what he had to the culvert yard cut one in half and brought it here."
This is why I like your channel. Never change.
Thank you sir
I remember cleaning the mud out of the tracks of a D9 everyday during the winter so it wouldn't freeze. I was a 13 and used a spud bar. Man! that spud bar was heavy and the mud was thick, but, that was the price I paid to be taught how to run the dozer. Oh, and it had a hand crank start pony motor on it to start the diesel.. Fun times!!!
I've always wanted to try a hand crank pony motor.
@@CaptainKleeman it wasn’t any fun and had one heck of a kickback
Great morning to watch others work outside…-9° with a windchill of -25°..Mike I know you’re a firefighter and heavy equipment operator so stay safe in this awful weather..hopefully your off today sitting in the window watching the barges. That 550 sure looks like a brute!
Thanks!
I laugh at -9. We've been at -20 with a wind chill of-42 for 3 days. 👍😂
Hello Mike. It was nice of you to help your brother when he needed help. Have good days!
Thanks buddy
That thing is a case mini dozer you can put a bucket on !!!! That thing has some awesome hydro power !!! And the steel tracks with cleets got the traction with the high drive !!! Nice work CPT. 👍👍👍👍
💪

The bow was perfect!😂
Looking into getting one of these Case Minotaurs myself once available. I am sure I would go broke but it’s probably worth every penny.
The versatility is definitely a plus
That’s what sells me on it. Still don’t know if it’s as good as my good ‘ol 855 John Deere though lol 😂
Like how easy it is to service that Case, everything you need to get to in one place, for once it looks like engineers have been listening to operators. Your brother is definitely lucky to have a brother like you, willing to help out and who has a friend who owns some serious plant. Hope you and yours have a lovely Christmas.
He has helped me out tons over the years. Glad to be able to help
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Nice to see you helping your brother out. Still impressed by that beast of a machine. Wishing you and your family the best and a merry Christmas.
Here! That machine would not set very often if you had different people on different projects.
I would like to know how easy it is to work on though.
Thanks Tom, you as well
Merry Christmas to you and your family best wishes,health,and happiness for the new year 👍👍👌
Thanks Richard
Captain I hope you, your family and friends have a safe and wonderful Christmas. God bless
Thank you sir
Great Job Mike on getting the Culvert in and cover and grading the road for ur brother..
Thanks Billy
The site cleaned up well with your help Captain. And you got the rock out as well. Pleased you kept your big smile going better than ya gopro. And ya still made a good video for me to watch. Thank you Captain.
Appreciate ya watching
Gotta love the captain first thing in the morning!
That’s one helluva backup alarm on that thing!
Glad you're getting away from the GoPro. Sounds like the microphone is getting really wacky now. The high pitched machinery sound was BAAAD! Obervation, not a complaint, you take your time to amuse us armchair enthusiasts and I appreciate that you do so! 👍🖖
I have learned two tricks to that specific nozzle on your fuel can. 1) Install nozzle with the red "trigger" facing down so that you can depress it against the fuel fill tube 2) the trigger has a detent that requires you to squeeze the trigger towards the nozzle before it can be pushed in and release fuel. I was squeezing it *while* pushing it down, but you can give it a quick squeeze before lifting the can into pouring position and that will unlock the trigger.
Mr Mike wishing you and your family a merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤️ ♥️ and I hope you have a great weekend. 👍
Bump starting.... So old school!
💪
Don’t let A-hole people In the comments get you down. You work very hard, you care significantly, and you put a lot of effort into making excellent videos. Think about the 99.9% of us that appreciate and enjoy your content.
Appreciate the feedback sir
I swear Mike you would have heard from a PO'd me if you ended this video before getting that rock out haha love the videos
Lol
I would like to wish you your family and friends the very best for the festive season
Mike I hope you and the family have a great Christmas 🎄
Thanks Bob, you as well
So great to get another option on the Case impressive for sure it’s Christmas time now so all the best to you and yours a great watch Captain 👍👋🇨🇦
Thanks Alan
Always nice to watch your videos. Glad you helped a brother out. Very nice of DP to let you use the machine. Cool at the end. You were, Rock on, then you rocked out!
Thank you sir
Great job Mike. Going to be a nice hunt camp when you all get it done. Of course you won't have to wait for it to be done to make use of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Morning Capt, looks like you got a bit chilly in southern Indiana. As I'm watching at 6am cst, im central Wi, it's -12°F with -37°F wind chill. Plus blowing/snowing so ton of drifting. Hope you and the family have a HAPPY HOLIDAYS🎄 as a well as the whole Capt. Kleeman community🎅😸🤗🐺
BW, ya can't remember when we've had weather like this🙀
@@glennwolfe1663I think that whole Global Heat Wave thing was a lot of smoke and mirrors… color me disappointed!
Good morning SIR! YOU ARE A GREAT OPERATOR 👍. Loved the video ❤️
Thanks Bobby
Just remember Mike.... When Challenge meets opportunity one must remain Kleemanistic!
You know young man, when you have days like you had in the video, it just makes you appreciate the good days all the more. I like the 550, did a nice job, especially with your never having an opportunity to operate it previous. Thanks for the update sir, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks Terry!
Hello from the Netherlands .
Merry Christmas 🎄Kleeman Family .
thanks for the video Mike .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
Though I really enjoy watching the amazing Minotaur, I’d really like to see how things are coming on your 555. I’m sorta living vicariously through you while you resurrect it. You’ve really inspired me. I didn’t think I could ever afford to have a big boy toy to play in the dirt with. All I’ve got is a old John Deere tractor and a box scrape that I’ve patched back together. But now, I’m looking for something like your backhoe that I can fix up. And by the way, my wife isn’t very happy with you about it either. She says I’ll wind up having to hire someone like you to come straighten out our property after I mess it up, lol. Keep up the good work, and thanks for the videos.
Sorry to hear about your camera woes but at least you still managed to make as enjoyable and informative a video as ever. I hope you and your family have a very happy Christmas Mike. Take care.
Thanks David
I just love that little Case..
It's impressive
Can’t wait to see the content with the dji. Great channel, keep up the good work
Crazy boat project but fun to watch.
Thanks!
Hope you and the Family are staying warm with the cold spell you are having, Merry Christmas to you all including all your followers where ever you may be from NZ.
Warm as can be in this ICF house
Thank you for sharing this video it was quite good I loved it. To tell you the truth anything you post is always great. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND HAVE A BLESSED NEW YEAR 🙏
Appreciate the feedback. Thank you!
Amazing content Capt, Seasons Greetings to you & yours from Somerset in England 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks ray
Another great video Mike, really appreciate the way you describe what you are doing? Always enjoy whatever you put on here. Merry Christmas to you and your family and stay safe sir. Again thank you
Thank you sir
I feel your pain with the Gopro's. Bought a 10 to start my channel and had many times that it over heated and shut off, usually I was near enough to hear it but there were times that I didn't and my video just ends or totally missed events. Haven't used my 11 much but agree not much of an improvement. Will have to look into the DJI. Just watching the case run I am very impressed. Looked like you settled into it nicely.
Very disappointed in go pro
I really like that skid steer, and the C8500.
It's a beast for it's size
Maybe those new batteries should go in Lt Dan, and then 'park' the C8500 😎
Merry Christmas to you and yours Captain!
Lol
Good morning Captain. A Work in the Wood with installing a Culvert. Then the Case to last full Mud and You must wash the Machine with Highpressure.
I wish You and Your Family, Merry Christmas and a happy new Year's
Greeting from Austria 🇦🇹🕯️🎄🎅🍀🎉
Nice Job Mike !!!! You looked more like a kid in a candy store then "working" . Amazing what Case developed. While im sure it is not cheap$$$ it sure is less then 2 machines and the hauling. Cant wait to see the 555 up and running.
Definitely an impressive machine
If your working the holiday like I am be safe. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
It looks like a small beast of a machine
It is!
Keep up the great work Mike.
You and the family have a great Christmas. And all the best for 2023 from Scotland. 👍🚒
Thank you sir
Merry Christmas Captain Kleeman & family
First part of video is priceless, love it when all you guys get together!! Merry Christmas to you and your family and to our UTube family🎄🎅👍🇺🇸
Thanks max
I think the fact you aren't a full-time operator makes your opinion just as valid as a full-time operator. You don't have any preconceived notions about how something should work. It demonstrates how well thought out the controls are if it is easy for you to hop in it and run it with a quick these are what the buttons do talk. DP can over the specs and technical stuff while you can just give a how easy it was to use and how well you thought it did.
You! Makes for good unbiased reviews that I think our subscribers enjoy.
Captain, I kinda get the feeling that you actually had fun helping your brother getting his property worked on as you got to demo work that Minotar.
It sure looked like fun to me.
The little boy still living in the overriding majority of men was excited watching this episode.
Thanks for taking us along. Merry Christmas Mike!
Wow, that was some rock stuck in the track! Great video!
Thanks lee
Captain, anyone calling that Case skid loader I think is mistaken. Not sure what to call it, maybe a mini dozer but labeling it a skid loader just doesn't do it justice. what a great machine! Thanks for showing us your videos! J.R.
glad you showed that rock coming out LOL another great video Captain...happy new year to you and the family
Looks like those metal tracks are big plus. Nice of you to give the girl a bath . Gotta look purdy fide for the camera. Merry Christmas btw
Great video Mike,sounds like your just having a normal day,for you of course.remember your brother owes you now big time.when everything comes back green,that looks like it will be a great looking piece of property.hope your enjoying this nice weather,yea sure sure.keep on doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍👨🚒👨🚒👨🚒
Appreciate the support tom
That looks like a well thought-out piece of equipment, plenty of muscle to handle fairly large jobs without needing to haul 2 or 3 pieces of equipment to a jobsite.
Most times, a piece of equipment designed to do multiple things isn't as good at any of them as a dedicated piece of equipment, this one seems to buck that trend.
I agree, I was skeptical at first. But honestly it's pretty impressive
" Keep on Smiling" by Wet Willie 🙂♪♪
Good to see you Fella’a
Mike, looks like you have hang of the new CASE DL550... Merry Christmas to the "Kleeman Family" Ron...
You as well sir
Thanks for the vid Capt. I have heard other You tubers decry the Gopro current lack of reliability. And they also went to DJI. I must conclude that people in your area are more courteous than people around here. If we left some equipment under a cover on some hunting property, and if it was still there upon our return, it would be shot full of holes.
Hoping the DJI is the answer
Coffee and Captain
💪
Well Done! You are doing great job with steep learning curve on machinery & tool operations.
Merry Christmas to you and yours Captain!
Thanks Tracy
Does there happen to be a count of how many videos you have to jump the dump truck? Maybe a New Year's Eve comedic count down🤣 Thank you for the great content! Merry Christmas 🎁
😂😂😂
I think Mike said something is in the works or going to be in the works with dump truck. I could be mistaken.
Nice piece of land for hunting nice work
Definitely
Top Secret...but 1-1-1-1. HAHAHAHA, you are hilarious Mike. 😅😅Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Thanks for your very thoughtful and thorough review of the Minotaur. You do a good job of highlighting the points and I find your video production to be excellent. I’ve enjoyed watching you do real work. God Bless and wishes for a successful New Year!
Thank you Matt! Appreciate the feedback
Nice machine, very versatile
Definitely
Lol... That Cursed Rock! Don't blame you for the voice over there bud!
When Case sees that rock wedged, they may send you a set of guards to install.
Great display of the new DL550.
I'm glad you got the rock out on video. I was worried you were going to leave us on a cliffhanger 😆
😂😂
Wij wensen jullie een prachtig kerstfeest 🎅🏼🎊 En een goed nieuwjaar 💥👍👋🏼
Bedankt 🎥En de Groetjes van uit Holland 🇳🇱👋🏼
you look like your having to much fun and have a good holidays
Thanks Joy!
Glad to hear you are finally going with DJI. I've heard nothing but good things about them.
I'm excited to try
Like the video Cap, Merry Christmas to you and your Wife and Familys , God Bless .
It looked like you enjoyed the new equipment I will be there when you do more on the property. Rock Vs mike, it made you sweat!.
Thanks mark
Great job Mike I enjoy watching your channel. Merry Christmas to You and Your Family! 🎄
Thanks Jim
Good video, Captain, appreciate the entertainment, and I wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas!
Thank you Dan, you as well
I like your attitude even when things go wrong.
Merry Christmas to you and your family and friends God bless.
Thank you Donald. You as well
The Case is a nicely designed piece of equipment. And joy did very well operating it. Did you ever get that rock out of the tracks?
Top video, well presented and you are smart with the machine & your road construction. Many thanks for sharing...🙏
Good video. Merry Christmas.
Thanks mike
Great videos on how this machine handles. Liked your comments at the end. It looks like a very useful machine.
Merry Christmas Captain!!
Stay safe and keep up the great job.
That Case would be nice addition to the company. 👍🎅🏻 wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas
Just want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year I enjoy your videos keep up the great job
You as well Frank!
Merry Christmas to all of the Kleeman's!!!
I asked in the last video if you had a track shovel, question answered
The more I see it the more I want a Minotaur for now though I just gotta watch and hopefully I was good enough and Santa will bring me one 😂😂😂😂😂. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. As always good luck and God Bless.
Santa's gonna need a bigger sleigh!
@@CaptainKleeman I'd share with you when I could
Does a great job the Minotaur. Good find on the cast iron stove. Future will be interesting on this block. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Captain.
So an archaeologist will dig up the camera and say that's how they did it back then. You'll go down in history. 😂😂😂
Kabotas are a pain to fill also.
Whoo, you almost got me with that 🎄 tree. 🤯
You did great keeping your password secret. Merry Christmas!
Lol thanks
Hi from St. Louis Metro east IL -5*F wind 25 to 35 mp this morning. How's your morning M&M.🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶
Very cold this morning!
Thanks for the help, Brother! Merry Christmas!
Absolutely!
Captain, looks like you dodged a bullet when that dead tree fell. The GoPro almost died a sudden death! Great vid., hope you get back on the yacht soon. Merry Christmas to you and all your family.
Dodged a bullet? Push down a dead tree with another tree so you don't have to get close to the dead tree, that's called experience my man. 💪
Awesome job captain
Did you find a spoon 🥄 in that road haha 😂 got you
