Regarding the bureaucrats trying to mandate the electrification of most vehicles that makes life possible recently, and then seeing all the equipment it takes to run that one site. It's easy to see that's never going to happen, and I'll sleep better knowing that. I have no ill will towards electric vehicles besides the impractical idea of anything bigger than a car using batteries. The videos are great, thank you for sharing them here.
Ryan those Knapheide utility/service truck bodies are manufactured in Quincy, Illinois. They have been in manufacturing business for 170 years ! Your company made a very good choice for a well built product that will last a lifetime.
Having a “Team” that works together and help each other through the day is called an A TEAM, thats what its all about is to keep each others work load flowing and that keeps people happy for the most part! Good help is hard to find in a world where people will say “i cant find a job” but when told where many places hiring they quickly say “oh i aint working there, its too hard of work” so basically you saying you want a paycheck for showing up then.
Good and dedicated employees come from good bosses and owners who care and respect them, which is obvious as your videos documents your leadership.....wish more companies followed your model
Its refreshing to see you out there hands on. Helping with repairs and closing tailgates! You know its been said that talent wins games but teamwork and intelligence wins championships! I'm pretty sure you are a champion. Great relationship with your employees! The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary! Altoona, PA
That was the first thing I noticed about your videos, your crew doesnt just stand around, they are always looking for something to do to stay productive. Good group of guys for sure.
As always. Great informative work video.. ❤ FYI 22" of snow melted In 6 days here in Central Minnesota.... We're catching up quick Be well sir and keep ' em coming Vids)))
I love to work in a dump or a scrap yard but my problem is I pick up stuff I'm always looking. I'll be bringing stuff home all the time but it's a good job. Nothing wrong with that good yard. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
Great watch Ryan. You’re surrounded by good people who appreciate being appreciated. The barbecue Friday is a great example of getting folks together who might not see each other regularly. Any news on the 855? Thanks for posting. 🇬🇧👍👍👍
Ryan, that paper pulp could go into the composting pile like I do with my composting? Fascinating what you bury and we have recycling in the UK - timber, cardboard, electrical waste. Good business for you guys and you have some great sounding kit!
I’ve never decided which is better, going back to the same Doctor to help solve an issue, Or seeing a different doctor for each visit? Same with warranty issues on equipment. The same guy who knows the story, or a new guy to make up a new story every time.
Yes you do have excellent bunch workers and it seems to me they take their job seriously and do it well and you being a pretty cool boss man and always helping when needed 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
Over the years I have had lot's of trouble from defective radiator caps . First thing I do is change the cap and make sure it has the specified pressure rating.
@@TheRealMrDiGG.. I used to be a field service technician for the mining industry and I remember once there was a loader on a coal stockpile that they had problems with. It kept overheating. They changed radiators and oil coolers on engine and transmission then the torque converter was suspected of slipping and it got expensive and just before the engine was removed someone suggested that they call a mechanic out. The cause was simple and very cheap. They HAD changed the radiator cap but the wrong one was fitted. They had put in a 7lb cap instead of a 14lb one and the system pressure was too low causing the coolant to boil.
Really enjoy your videos , on the cat ! that machine is not working hard , not like pushing up muck building a lake , i'm with you , you should not have to max out the fan speed to keep it cool on your job , changing the subject , my thought's , if you have good guys that are happy in there jobs , it's because you treat them right , i have worked at a lot of sites and have seen the opposite , treating you guys right is key , keep the vid's coming Richard from England
Nice one Mr Digg As someone who has never worked on heavy plant equipment, allow me to offer some advice to your experienced mechanics; Everything in your toolbox is also a hammer Except for screwdrivers which are also chisels 🤣 Keep up the good work each and every member of the team 👍
a buddy of mine ran over an an old mattress that was just the springs buried in the mud it wrapped itself around the driveshaft in like 2 seconds. this was before cordless tools got good so we had to get a generator and an angle grinder and spend like 3 hours get enough cut off to exposed the bolts for the u joint so we could pull the shaft off then we we put a chain looped around the ends and unwound it with my winch on my jeep. took us almost till daylight to get it done
The process of moving trucks is something I definitely feel right now. I'm finishing up building a new gaming PC currently, and once that's done I have to shift all the files over, and then fiddle with settings.
@@TheRealMrDiGG Congratulations on finishing! I've had no end of trouble. It just wouldn't turn on, then it sat for a month when I got sick, and I've only just got it to actually turn on this week. Because it turns out I lost a crucial cable in the mess of spaghetti. I'm aiming to get it all working properly this weekend, and start the crawl of installing all my games again.
What a fantastic team of guys you have - they all look to enjoy their work and take pride in what they do. It’s a hell of an industrious site - so much going on all the time. Love the videos.. thank you !
Side note have you considered doing a fundraiser in your multch department or garden, landscape department? When I was in Washington St in the boy scout program as a leader we were able to do fundraisers with a couple different groups that always liked to help us out.
Sounds like them Cat mechanics better retract them claws a little. I believe Antonio might declaw them over his beloved D6!! Except the last mechanic sounds like Antonio likes him.
You mean to tell me you were playing with big trucks and didn’t invite me? I’m hurt! I wanna try! Pick me up and put me in coach 😉! Thats gotta be better than crunching numbers sir!
Another great video. Question, Do y’all cover the working floor with dirt for the drivers to back up more to the toe of the slope. I know the landfill I worked at they made us cover at the end of the day. I was just curious
it could of been a combination of a clogged radiator combined with the fan speed being just enough to keep it going when its spotless but these machines are run very hard compared to running them pushing dirt with as hot as your area is its not surprising you have overheating problems
I would think that the speed of the fan would increase as 5he temperature increases or decreases as the temperature decreases and run at the minimum speed until the it’s needed.
I love your videos. That said, there is a serious lack of safety at that landfill. I also bring treats and drinks to my favorite disposal site helpers😊
Hi Ryan. Isn't that paper/cardboard pulp no good for blending in your compost? Seems a waste of a compostable product that is already shreded, especially if its a regular item brought to the landfill. Just a thought. Cheers from down under🇦🇺👍
I would think that fiberglass would be a recyclable material especially with that much, after all you can melt and remelt glass over and over again, than again I've been wrong once before :)
Question- does your yard charge extra for mattresses? I know many do for the same problems that you mentioned. Regardless, great to see the updates and happy the trucks are good (fingers crossed)
I got pressure wash my coolers once a week. Inside and out back and fourth. I'm in dozer 12 hours a day 6 days a week for 40 years. 😮 whoohoo Goodluck.
I think if you happen to catch the side of his excavator, before he went out on his own. A couple of year's ago in his videos. I might be completely wrong. 🤷♂️
I am confused you said you pulp the wood and recycle the metal but in this video your compactor ran over 30 odd large pallets a dishwasher and a whole bin load of wood offcuts.
As a service tech, I find the solution to elusive problems is usually something simple. It's a shame that the first tech didn't figure it out, but I know it happens. My personal goal is to NOT put my customers in this situation.
Would love to see your crushing operation in action I am requesting some jaw crusher actuon I understand you may be busy in landfill or with paperwork Mr Digg hope you get time to make a video on it soon Thanks Saqib From Toronto Canada
I was running a d6t that was doing the same thing with overheating the torque converter turned out there was something with the parking brake not fully releasing
I hate saying this but mechanics arent mechanics anymore they are parts replacer that the computer tells them to replace. After the second time tgey were out they should of been calling Cat
He’s still moving pretty slow. He’s staying with me right now so I can help take care of him. Thanks for asking, he lights up when I tell him folks are asking about him here on CZcams so thank you!
Those Volvo dump trucks are the best dump trucks made.period. I've been driving excavators for over 30 years and I've loaded hundreds of thousands of dump trucks and these are more powerful and better made than. CAT, TEREX, BELL, KOMATSU. I realise you are very patriotic, and there's nothing wrong with that, in fact I applaud it, but Volvo's rule. Period.
Dang ford door buzzer says look at me look at me look at me inside info Chevy/GMC out sales the so called best seller ford They don’t add the two together same stuff different names
Them cat people mechanics ain't right all the time they emit that you mate d6 dozer he was my logger he were the problem with water in the sun I don't know who told him or what it's the turbo I nearly forever backwards I said that's a lot of crap hotel in the check the sleeves in the pistons you got electrolysis nope you went and paid over 2 grams for a turbo and we were still getting 20 litres of water out of the bottom that sump every 6 hours he managed to get the heads and all that off what was it electrolysis new pistons you sleeves so Samal mechanic mates on you Cameron and done an in-build now that does it down south somewhere still going strong today the old d6
Really like how you acknowledge and praise your employees. I'm sure they appreciate the feedback. That's what makes a team successful.
They good folks!
My thoughts are your employee loyalty is a direct result of your management style. RESPECT
Treat others as you want to be treated. Thanks for watching!
@@TheRealMrDiGG You are so spot on. My pleasure
Good employees are a sign of a good employer👍👍

22" of snow melted In 6 days here in Central Minnesota....
We're catching up quick
Be well sir and keep ' em coming

Thanks, and stay warm!
My dad once told me when I was overwhelmed...just do the next thing and do it well. That has worked for me. Hope your dad is recovering well.
Good advice!
I love to work in a dump or a scrap yard but my problem is I pick up stuff I'm always looking. I'll be bringing stuff home all the time but it's a good job. Nothing wrong with that good yard. 👍👍🙂🇨🇦
It’s hard not to grab stuff!
Oh I believe that
Just as windy today in N. Alabama. Thanks for taking us along.
Wow, it’s been so windy ALL day today!
Same here in Birmingham Al area!
Rolando is sure proud of his new truck. That is so awesome.
He is so proud of it! Thanks for watching Mrs.Becky!

Thank you for watching. The paper pump could go into the composting process, but I already have excess carbon.

Great video’s Mr DIGG , thanks for explaining how it all happens 👍those fold down steps in the Volvo truck bonnet are fantastic, what a good idea .😀
Thanks 👍, brilliant steps!
Great video! Hope your Dad is doing well.
Thanks, he’s getting better!
Great video. You have a great team. You treat them like family
Thanks, we have some great people
Thanks for sharing. Always like seeing what’s coming in.
Thanks for watching!
Hope that took care of the dozer. Another great video Ryan. Have a great rest of your week
Thanks, you too!
Great viewing as always bro and yep ya got a great crew there for sure. Safe travels. Ken.
Thanks Ken!
Have you ever thought of trying 1 of them compacting rollers on your tip they pack it down well another great video Ian
Great idea
Hi it is easy to watch a job done well👍 thank you to you and your crew 👍🐝🌞
Thanks 👍 I appreciate ya!
Just run the mattresses through one of the Roto choppers. They should compact pretty well after that. 😊 Thanks for the video!
Compact right around one of the drums, sure.
That would be interesting to see, but would probably wrap up

Thanks Richard in England, hopefully this’ll fix our problem!
Another great episode and yah the volvo's are good trucks we almost have 30k hrs on most of are's .
Looking forward to the next episode :) 🇨🇦
Yes they are!
great video Ryan, and you do seem to have a great team 👍👍👍👍👍
They’re awesome!
We have a 750j that had an over heating issue. Turned out to be to be a bad solenoid to the fan causing it to run at a low RPM
Very interesting!!
Great videos you make. Letsdig18 is how I found your channel. Awesome content
Sure appreciate you watching & takin the time to comment, sure means a lot to me!

It’s a busy little place, thank you so much for watching & commenting!!
Would be cool to see some old photos maybe videos of the landfill/sand mine from back in your dads early days
Gonna try soon!

Hey Ryan great video keep up the good work and thanks 👍🏻
Thanks! Will do!
Great video!!

It’s compostable but we already have enough carbon with all the wood material.

You would think, but I guess not. Or at least not around here
Enjoyed it as always
Glad to hear it & thanks for watching!
Hey Ryan employees are only as good as the Employer great job Bud without good employees you are nothing and they will look at it the same way
Sure appreciate this Brian!
Good one 👍👍👍👍
Thanks buddy!
Hey Ryan. What’s the fuel consumption on the D6 and 826C. Mr Digg is my #1 YT👍
826 drinks way more. I think she has a drinking problem
You would be a great guy to work for
I try!
Sounds like a case of CAT SpOOn fever to me!
Damn right Coz!
Question- does your yard charge extra for mattresses? I know many do for the same problems that you mentioned.

Thanks Dozerman!
I have noticed a couple of pieces of equipment with "Ascendum" on them. Isn't that Chris's (Let's dig ) uncles company name.
I’m not sure?
I think if you happen to catch the side of his excavator, before he went out on his own. A couple of year's ago in his videos. I might be completely wrong. 🤷♂️
@corycourneyea6802 “Ascendum” is a large equipment dealer located in Chattanooga Tennessee.
Why do the wooden pallets get excluded from the mulching process.
We grind a lot of them for mulch
I am confused you said you pulp the wood and recycle the metal but in this video your compactor ran over 30 odd large pallets a dishwasher and a whole bin load of wood offcuts.
We recycle what we can, when we can
As a service tech, I find the solution to elusive problems is usually something simple. It's a shame that the first tech didn't figure it out, but I know it happens. My personal goal is to NOT put my customers in this situation.
Yeah, I know it’s difficult to diagnose nowadays! So many sensors & computers…… the Techs do try hard, I’ll give’ ‘em that

Have you ever thought about using cow manure?
We have a lot more horses around here than cows so we use that
Why are toys in a C&add landfill?
Because we can legally accept that type waste, and because people throw everything away around here

airfilter ?
Don’t think so
Wrong date on fuel filter.
Really? I’ll have to go back and look
