I was an Air Force Vehicle Mechanic for 20 years (retired in 2016) and the company that makes those portable 12/24 Volt jump packs are awesome! We also had their heavy duty roll around packs that even had the M-Series slave cable receptacles! Our mobile maintenance trucks their generator/jump start unit with ALL of the different types of connections and cables for just about any application you could imagine! Their products are tough and last a long time.
Hi ya Captain , well your voyage is underway starting to see your progress it looks good 👍! Thanks for sharing my friend ! Hope you have a good one 👍 🇨🇦 Craig
I hope the extra dirt around the base of some of those trees does not kill them. I have seen that happen. A 4" fire hose just might remove the dirt from around the base of the trees. Fun video.
There is nothing like a Cat. I was a Catskinner in college. Operated a 977H Traxcavator. That baby started every time but one. We left it on site and some kids vandalized the battery cables. Our dealer was there within a half-hour of my boss calling him, and half an hour later she was good as new. I also operated a Cat Model 12 grader. Great machine. Don’t worry, you’ll get the hang of it quicker than you think. Meanwhile, learning is so much fun.
love that your man enough to show your mistakes. mistakes are lessons, showing them may save others from having to learn those lessons, in my case i will try just to see if it realy is wrong :P
Best teacher is seat time, most of the equipment I know how to run was a five minute rundown of what did what and call if I had any problems. I'm sure my dog would love free run of those woods.
Great Job Captain! That’s how you get experience by doing! I was lucky I had the military behind me but I learned a lot by doing! You are doing a great job! Keep it up! Can’t wait till the next vidge!
Shout out !! Don't make fun of his turf tire's the man mow's with it in the summer 😁 It's nice to have acsess to equipment makes life great ! Good video !!
Jerry will be proud! You ended up with a tolerable good result without breaking anything. My grandfather had a D9. It was post WW2... you know like 1946. It used cables to lift and angle the blade. He lived in Princeton IN. As a teen, I had the privilege of playing on it for a weekend. He had a 40 acre corn field that he was terracing. It had been cleared years ago except for 2 huge pecan trees that he wanted to save. You see, when you are backing a D9 in the middle of a 40 acre corn field you don’t worry too much about looking backward... had he seen fit to put a rear view mirror on it... he might still have two Pecan trees in that field. But, the one that was left stands proudly beside the office of a trailer park now... and a little bit of the wood from the other is in a hope chest he made for my sister. So, by my book.. you did just fine in your maiden voyage.
Captain Kleeman a little bit... he was actually much better with metal... he was a Tool & Die maker for Westinghouse. I have all of his measuring tools... slide rules (ancient calculators... one step above an abacus), and etc. I learned woodworking when I was a Quality Engineer for a huge Furniture manufacturer. Good try though.
you shouldn't be so modest about your dozer skills, you better than you let on! Hope I get a chance to to meet you in Vegas! I'm supposed to be going up there with my sons! stay safe!
If you don't struggle you haven't tried. Everyone struggles from time to time. I have even seen NASA engineers struggle. Only because we all try to push ourselves to achieve more and more. Everyone will struggle when you move outside your comfort zone. That's how we grow in our learning and achieve great things. God bless
It’s not always hurtful to take some trees. The one’s you leave benefit from it in so many ways (stronger & healthier). Besides, it’ll make it easier come time to do the bush hogging. Enjoyed seeing the progress and it’s looking good.
Thanks for sharing your adventures, good to see the harbor starting to take shape. Good learning experience for possible future dozer operation. Still love the drone footage even with an empty river. Like how your season is ahead of mine as I look out at a foot of snow on my car fresh from last night 😂. The joys of living in central New York and lake affect snow off of Ontario. Stay safe and warm.
I bet those dirt perfect rental fees sure beat most! I can't find one of those for under $5,000/month. And by a "month" the dozer rental companies really mean 160 hours. That's maybe about 2 weeks for me. Then they want another month payment! Keep up the entertaining videos Kleeman, you make me laugh....a lot!
I always remember when our dealership got the first high drive D10 in Canada. It was set up for a big open house with a D3 dozer in front of the Mass Excavation Blade. The D3 looked like a little toy sitting in front of the D10.
If I can offer a little tip, tilt the blade back from bottom to top so heavier items are pushed forward and lighter are pushed aside, also turn the blade either left or right depending on where you need the material to end up. Also the blade does not have to be used for digging if what you want to move is above ground. Yes putting the blade at an angle means more work but it also lets the soil fall away from the logs and limbs so it takes less effort and time. I in would have dropped a culvert in that ditch for rain run off and snow melt because blocking a drainage point is a bad idea even the desert.
You did good you got the job done u wanted just remember you could bring 10 of the best dozer operator over and I bet all 10 would do it differently they all may look the same at the end but did the work different for your first time moving dirt u did awesome
Morning Captain If you fail to try you will never better yourself You did a fine job today Keep the faith and always be willing to try something new Many years ago now I ran my first crawler loader just moving it across the gravel pit for a friend I progressed from there over several years to being a fairly competant operator doing all sorts of stuff Have a great day and be careful on your real job Was a volunteer firefighter many years ago also Our dept. never lost a basement but that too was a learning experience LMAO
As you get more practice you'll find second gear and more speed will help. Breaks up material and pounds in some of the material and smashes wood under the pounding. It looks good!!
Blade Runner I Ran a little Bit more today. You’re right, seemed to help a little. Just trying not to get to full of myself and break something 😂 hey thanks for watching!
@@CaptainKleeman Go for it. Lay dirt out thick then take cuts about a foot deep. If wet and sticky angle blade and winrow it out,, keep working big wood rocks and stumps off edge of lift. Don't worry about dirt or grade just thin out the junk.When your ready take the first cut down the middle of lift a one ft cut works good at leaving dirt and keeping enough dirt to roll out any large wood ahead of push or it'll roll out one side or the other.Rule of thumb max push for efficiency and grade level is 150 feet but works out slightly more. We work three stations at a time on road jobs stakes 50 ft apart. Take the high side of lift first, I said above to take middle to start, if lift lands fairly equal depth is when I'd take middle then left side or right. If you track onto large rock along cut back up and corner it up out carry on to bladeful you left push to end. If theres a hole dont worry it'll fill next pass or so.At end of second push half track your imprint back to start 2nd gear let out off decelerater the dozer will speed up and develop what we call a thunder speed up as it comes into it to where your comfortable. Check tach if you have one or train ear to rpm tone for reverse. Creates an equel pack pattern, the tighter the pack the better the 2nd cut goes. Now it becomes more enjoyable seeing lift coming into it. You won't break anything so don't worry about that. I carried on as usual, not trying to tell you what to do. I grew up excavating been at it 30 yrs or so.pretty much done now due too severe spine injury. Two things you DO on a dozer is wear seat belt and hearing and eye protection with open cab. Always belted enclosed cab ear and eye is still good idea. As confidence builds your speed will pick up, beware of covered stumps still rooted stop you dead in your tracks. Without belt you're going overboard after you meet dash and grab handle on top comes air cleaner and muffler. What you DON'T do with a dozer is push against trees to knock them over. The whiplash affect can snap the top off or just a limb but plan on it landing on you. There is a method to it but chain saws better choice. Large rock tilt corner ease into cut and push when you feel dozer pressure against rock throttle up and lift on blade. Keep dirt betwwen blade face and rock. If no movement back off easy and tilt cut around it pick a different push point. No move put hoe on it.Sorry so lengthy. Can't tell.i miss working! You're a natural by the looks of things doing great. Like you said common sense and seat time. On reverse speed if your reach loud /hard track pad slap slow down a tad. Have fun, I'll be checking out vids.
I'm no expert but I'd say you did pretty good on the dozer for being one of the first times using it. I've only ever run a dozer once and my uncle had to come fix my mess. haha I'll be getting to my property this weekend to continue some cleaning as well. You and your channel make me want to film the whole process. We'll see if I get the courage to do so.
you did a good enough job given limited experience mate. Nobody but nobody becomes a professional on their first or second go it takes hours and hours of use repeating and finessing before you get really good. Only tip i would suggest is when you are pushing the material along? as you move forward slowly keep bringing up your blade, that way you will find that the larger material in this case tree limbs stumps etc, will keep on being pushed whilst the soil leaf mulch will bit by bit drop out and be left behind. It will come with practice that is 100% guaranteed
You did a good job getting over the little over zealous pushing. Ran the same model dozer at work before I retired. Did you know the rubber pads next to instrument panel are for your feet to brace yourself pushing steep downhill. Yes have used them 😁
Bob Fitch holy smokes. Well I don’t think I’ll be needing them any time soon, plus I’m not sure I’m qualified for that kind of terrain! Thanks for watching.
You’re such a rookie Captain. You should know.....well......stuff that I can’t mention for reasons.........basically because the only seat time I have on a dozer was before I was 10 and had to be lifted up onto the tracks. I am however still qualified to comment because I made about a million miles of roads with my Mighty Tonka machines. By the way. I was glad you brought out the skycam for this. I was afraid the drone would get all the action since it’s the kool new kid in school.
Pretty sure I would have gotten tired of going around one of those trees at the ditch and just shoved it over. The biggest problem I had when I was learning to operate a dozer was getting to much of a bite with the blade. But looks like you caught on fast and got the job done.
Hey Bro, not too bad for having virtually no experience. Looks like all you need is some seat time and you will be a Dirt Perfect Jr in no time! LOL. A word of advice, easiest way to learn to cut a grade, always keep a blade full of dirt when pushing. Scraping around is ok to learn controls and actions of the machine, but true dirt work is a lot simpler if you have a full blade of dirt. That doesn't mean you have to be able to see it over the top of the blade, just around both of the sides. Watch Mike's mentor Jerry sometime, you can learn a lot from that man.
You're doing ok. Its not easy between trees. When you first cut into pile load blade right up and extend push longer working blade up little at a time letting dirt drop out but carry larger wood stumps and rocks further on. Then back up and make another cut working larger material out again. Leaving cleaner dirt behind. It's a bitch when wet also due to material not breaking up. It takes time an patience.
Whenever I make mistakes with equipment or on days where I don't feel very productive... I remind myself how difficult to impossible it would be if I did the work by hand with a shovel etc,.
Like the video from CAPTAIN DIRT PERFECT LOL IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR COFFEE WITH CAPTAIN AND TERRY. JUST KEEP THE🎥COMING THANKS CK 🚒🚢🎥PS KEEP DP STRAIGHT AS YOU CAN I KNOW HE'S STRAIGHT AS A QUESTION MARK ?😀
The water in the battery most likely needs topping up if it sitting for a week it should not drain the battery. Mind sits for a month or more and I have had no trouble starting for the last 3 years.
A little constructive criticism. You may be changing the angle of the blade way more than you need to. Also always make sure you're always at full throttle when pushing. Otherwise, nice job!
Wish I could rent a dozer for. My little 2.69 acres, but I bet you have to actually need to know how to operate one. I wonder if that’s true for mini excavators and skid steers? Good job on moving the dirt!
Kirk Wilson I’m not headed down for this one. But I do plan on Vegas! She is a stray someone dropped off. Named Charlotte. She’s been a good dog considering how we came about her. Thanks for watching!
Mike said to ask you how many times did it take you too pass your CDL? Form His going too get Jerry’s backhoe. 😂😂😂 must not of studied the pre trip enough 😉

I hope the extra dirt around the base of some of those trees does not kill them. I have seen that happen. A 4" fire hose just might remove the dirt from around the base of the trees. Fun video.
Oh it will kill the trees. Between the buried roots and soil compaction and the inevitable erosion, it’s going to be an absolute mess.

Speaking for myself... I quite like the "Time Lapse Videos".
You done a outstanding job with that d4 Jerry would be proud of you!

Hey man I'm a new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing more videos
Hidden Pines Homestead hey welcome to the channel! Glad you’re tagging along.
He should have asked if the rental company had a root rake attachment it would have helped
They didn’t
You're doing ok. Its not easy between trees. When you first cut into pile load blade right up and extend push longer working blade up little at a time letting dirt drop out but carry larger wood stumps and rocks further on. Then back up and make another cut working larger material out again. Leaving cleaner dirt behind. It's a bitch when wet also due to material not breaking up. It takes time an patience.
Blade Runner seat time and common sense. Sounds like you have both! Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
A-blast from the past
💪
You might want to let Mike know it sounds like he has a sticking starter cylinoid on the D4G. God bless
Thomas Desmond will do
Make thin pass over an over to get what you are looking for
Any time you don't have to push up boulders is a good day
ben napier true! I feel there will be a few large “floaters” when we get further back the road.
Whenever I make mistakes with equipment or on days where I don't feel very productive... I remind myself how difficult to impossible it would be if I did the work by hand with a shovel etc,.
Your boss would be proud Capt . Don't worry about the naysayers most of them couldn't even get it started
Seabee 23 thank you sir!
You now you are way to hard on yourself. Remember we all have to start somewhere.
Take care.
Arthur Turcot thank you and thanks for watching!
Nice job, dozer makes a difference for sure!
Man With A Plan thank you sir!

🚒🚢🎥PS KEEP DP STRAIGHT AS YOU CAN
I KNOW HE'S STRAIGHT AS A QUESTION MARK ?😀
Terry Reynolds hey thanks sir! I’ll try my best with dirt perfect
That was cool.
Jodi Miller well thank you!
You are getting that dirt dressed up real nice.
Are you going to put in a culvert so your road does not wash out ?
VideosByAl there will be three culverts crossings total on the drive. Thanks for watching!
The water in the battery most likely needs topping up if it sitting for a week it should not drain the battery. Mind sits for a month or more and I have had no trouble starting for the last 3 years.
Now that’s a cute doggo
A little constructive criticism. You may be changing the angle of the blade way more than you need to. Also always make sure you're always at full throttle when pushing. Otherwise, nice job!
Wish I could rent a dozer for. My little 2.69 acres, but I bet you have to actually need to know how to operate one. I wonder if that’s true for mini excavators and skid steers? Good job on moving the dirt!
Rick Haver only one way to learn! Thanks for watching.
Are you going down to Florida when Mike and everyone else is ? What is dogo's name ? Site starting to look good.
Kirk Wilson I’m not headed down for this one. But I do plan on Vegas! She is a stray someone dropped off. Named Charlotte. She’s been a good dog considering how we came about her. Thanks for watching!
Try preheating before you try starting it
On the job training!
Papaw hey that’s right! Thanks for watching.
Actually, the ladder shots were good. It gave a wider view of what you were doing, rather than a frontal, tunnel vision shot.
RK Harm24 it kind of helps tell the whole story. At least that’s goal anyway. Glad you enjoy them!
Excellent video Captain 👍 now I've watched yours, I suppose I'd better go watch Mike's just so he doesn't feel left out with the view count 😂😂
Bazza B be sure to tell him I said hi!
Mike said to ask you how many times did it take you too pass your CDL? Form His going too get Jerry’s backhoe. 😂😂😂 must not of studied the pre trip enough 😉
caleb simth class B was one try. Class A took 3 times. Thanks for watching!
i,m suprized you did,nt take of exhaust stack in that timber
Charlie Tanner have to be careful. Thanks for watching
For you not running a dozer you picked it pretty quickly
John Warren I had my pocket version of Jerry with me 😂
I would stay in the seat too
Chad Burggraafcowboy it’s so comfy.
