D C isn’t that the truth! It’s easy till you do it. if that’s the worst thing that happened that month, it’s been a stellar month. I think u did a good job on the road
Well hell, now that's why we just can't have nice things... If ain't truck mirrors, then it's grader castor wheels falling off... Ha, ha, ha... Just giving you a bad time. It was fun while it lasted. Love the drone barge footage. Thank you sir...
I MUST say this Cap. Your line of thinking about making good to Mike for the poor engineered design of the grader attachment is TOP NOTCH!!! This is how I was raised and yes seemed EVERY time I borrowed something from my grand father to use, the darn things broke someway .😆 My dad always told me "if you use someone else stuff, you return it to them better than or as good as you got it. You just don't see that kinda thing these days.😒 SO proud of you sir and to see that at the least NOT EVERY one has forgotten how to be a "REAL MAN"!!! GREAT JOB!!
You got the hang of the grader fast. As long as you are willing to fix it or pay to get it fixed there isn’t a problem. Except the teasing that might come with it.
I was on a buddy of mines 450 case dozer one time pushing dirt and it was my first time ever being on a dozer and not 15 mins after being on there the Bering went out in the fan pulley. Haha good times though, things break and can be replaced, at least you called and told him what what happened instead of him finding out own his own. Good people like you are hard to come by these days. Great job on the video!
Captain Kleeman yeah we got it back up and running, took some time cause the case dealer down here in southeastern Kentucky “Wilson equipment” told us we had to replace the whole fan assembly but after doing some tinkering we got it fixed
So mirrors and caster wheels are your Kryptonite... Good to know. Kleeman: "Hey man what you up to?" Muffled voice on phone: "What'd you break this time?"
The mind is like a parachute if it won’t open it won’t work . Operating the grader attachment 1st time looking good ! Tires and rims were might light duty and they looked about what’s on a wheel barrow and they give out too if used much .
Hey captain good job with the grader good enough for who is for AGAIN NEVER LET PEOPLE GET TO YOU. LOVE THE DRONE FOOTAGE. THANKS AGAIN CAPTAIN DIRT😀😂👍 LOL
Captain, I can't blame you for an obvious manufacturing defect. It may be wise to reinforce the other one while you are at it. A "stitch in time " etc.. All the very best to you and yours from Manchester U.K.
Captain Kleeman You never let us down buddy. Well, some might feel let down but you can pin their comment so we can all cheer them up with laughter. That’s at them. Not with them.
New here . Came over from Dirt Perfect. This looks fun to learn. I love learning new things. Especially hands on. Best way to do it. Lol Whoppa Choppa. I carry alittle tool bag also wherever I go also. Daddy always said to be prepared. Beautiful water way.
Bob Fitch’s comment “if you never broke or screwed up something then you never did anything” got me thinking that the measure of a man isn’t about how you react when you break something. It’s how you react after something gets broken. Yup. Things break or as Bob said. Split happens.
I think you did quite well with the grader for someone that had not used that attachment before. Okay, so it broke, that happens. Those rims are very thin, would not want that on my wheel barrow, let alone a hard working piece of equipment as that.
LOL Cap! ya know my Dad used to tell my younger brother " son I truly think you could tare up an anvil with a milk jug"! LOL! Best of luck with it ,and keep these great vids coming friend. :)
The newer wheels will probably be worse how things are built these days. I'd probably just weld it back up and then weld some small gussets from the hub to the wheel. Be super easy and just cost you a little bit of time and definitely be stronger than the new ones but the bearings and hub looks to be fairly light duty too.
Video idea ~ Launch the drone at your house then pan around to give the lay of the land. Point out the distance from Derby, Mikes, Wades, and the Market. Plus any other interesting spots.
Don't feel too bad captain, we had a couple of truck mounted brooms when I was working, and we had to keep a couple of spare tires and wheels for them. Our steering wheel holders would destroy one at least every couple of weeks. We finally ended up with 10 ply tires foam filled to get much work out of them. You're not the first to break one of these assemblies.
Great video, interesting how you and your neighbors pitch in to be a volunteer highway department. That attachment seems to work pretty good, too bad the wheel forgot how to roll, I hate when that happens. Time for the inevitable upgrade to the wheels. I was thinking flags on the ends of the blade might help, maybe you can find some nice pink flags to spruce it up for mike, maybe something from the children’s bicycle department. Stay safe, warm, and fun.
Great video, and I immediately subscribed. Sometimes CZcams throws me a bone with some meat left on it. :) Loved the drone footage! I couldn't tell what the upstream tow had on top of the barges. I live near the confluence of the Mississippi and the Missouri, and I LOVE to watch river traffic. Thanks for sharing what you do!
Looks like it could happen to anybody bit guess who got the short straw lol. Looks like a great idea to replace both of them instead of just the one. But on the bright side it wasn't a mirror this time lol. Keep up the great videos
The second scariest thing in the world, a truck driver with tools! 😉 I think that wheel was wobbling in previous videos of that attachment. It probably needs a wheel that bolts to a hub. We had a sweeper attachment for a Cat IT28 loader that was designed to be used with the boom in the float position and adjust the height using the tilt function. The operators couldn't seem to figure out how to lock it into float without blowing the sweeper tires trying to lift the front wheels of the loader off the ground.
Tired old mechanic you make a good point. See the float function is not working in that skid steer. May have something to do with it. Thanks for watching!
first looked at that wheel thought it was a wheel barrow wheel. Yeah, that is definitely a light duty wheel. need a couple wheels off the back of a bush hog. if it's mechanical it will break sooner or later. carried a tool box on my semi with what you have but also some sockets ,wrenches, some wire , wire ties and most importantly, duct tape. paid me to drive it not work on it but like you said could make a roadside repair so cold get to safe place.
@@CaptainKleeman drove Kenworth for about 20 yrs pulling removal gooseneck double drop, step deck, flat bed , 39ft frameless dump . R model & dm model mack triangle dump trucks. A lot of oversized loads all over the US. Biggest load was house boat 14 ft w, 14ft 6 tall and 65 ft long.
Hi Captain, I can't blame you for an obvious manufacturing defect. It may be prudent to reinforce the other one while you are at it. A "stitch in time" etc..All the very best to you and yours from Manchester U.K.
Vice grips , channel locks or plyers are handy but you forgot the main handymans tool. Duct tape. Oh , another thing always buger up the nut with the channel locks so a wrench will never get a grip again.
Love the video. What was on the first barge? Pipe? Also if you ever get a chance to run a full size grader take it, it’s awesome to operate. I’ve ran old school and new school styles. Just remember dirt smooths dirt or rock smooths rock. Have a good day
Richard Cox I’ve been told it is pre assembled parts for a refinery. I see one at least once a week. Next tome one comes by I’ll try and get closer. I would love the chance to get in a full size grader. Bucket list for sure! Thanks for watching!
People can tell you a hundred times how to run something but the only real way to learn is like you said seat time you done good for your first time with the grader
You were getting the hang of it there at the end captain, it was looking good. Mike seems like a straight up fella and good on you mentioning it to him instead of shrugging your shoulders next time it was used. Loved the drone footage was he pushing rock to the quarry? If so that's a lot of material in one trip.
Andy Moss not sure what he had for a tow. Wasn’t stone though. Mulzers has very distinctive yellow barges and blue and white tugs. I’ll try and get a shot when one goes by next. Thanks for watching!
Great video. The early models of the grader had nothing more than York rake wheels on them. When I had mine the wheels were the weak link. I know the new models have a much heavier wheel and tire. Don't know if Mike can convert this one. Stay safe.
I've never ran one of those attachments, but the wheels do look a little cheap. Like cheap wheelbarrow wheels, not even cheap equipment wheels. I've made those "hey I buggered something up" phone calls, never fun but making sure the boss hears it from you first is the best way to get it fixed. Anyone who says they haven't broke something or gotten stuck is a liar or a green horn who hasn't done it long enough.
BlueDually4x4 unfortunately it’s just part of it. And I think there is a difference between breaking things from being irresponsible and reckless and things wearing out or failing. Thanks for watching friend and catch ya on the next one!
Hi captain ,those wheels are flimsy I noticed that the other times being use I have worked on a few things with large casters one being a Lastec tow behind articulating mower deck has some very similar caster wheels solid tires. Have a great one 🇨🇦 Craig
I gave you enough grief over the mirror, gonna let the wheel go. But I also gave Mike a hard time when he kept killing the GMC last summer. We all make mistakes and equipment breaks at anytime. Have a great day.
Those are transport wheels, not designed for any kind of load. If you're going to put the blade down, sooner or later, it's going to get sucked down and (over)load those wheels. You happened to be the lucky guy it happened to. The attachment needs something designed for far more load than those light duty wheels, or it's going to happen again. Looks like a pretty clumsy attachment, I was surprised how well you controlled it. Hope it doesn't cost you too much.
Scott Marshall he got a really good deal on it. It comes in handy, and we aren’t completely sold on it. I’ll put it this way, he got it for a price that we can get rid of it if some minor improvements don’t make it run how we want, without losing money.
Man you broke a mirror and well what has the truck and the grader blade done to you? Lol it is nice to work with some one that don't get mad, on the account accident does happen.
@@CaptainKleeman I know but at least when you use the machine and something happens. Mike don't get mad and both of you joke around about it hope you have a wonderful day.
I'm suprises the wheel lasted this long. They look cheap. But when I rent equipment it comes with insurance. Ha ha. Buy Mike a much stronger wheel. He is a great boss.
Captain You would fit right in here in Oklahoma along the Arkansas River. Seriously I know where that road your grading is at on the Arkansas river channel.
it looks harder then i thought to run it ,but you were getting the hang of it by the end .the tire wasn't you foul just a bad rims no cheap over it mister mirror.lol
BZ1340 they go all up and down the Ohio and Mississippi. I need to find out more information on each tow maybe. Although not exactly sure how to go about that lol
Those rims are no heavier duty than a wheelbarrow rim. If you didn’t break it Dirt Perfect would have...........eventually. You just found the weakness first. As for your tracking left and right because of the blade angle I noticed Mike tends to drive forward faster giving him a straighter line. Something I noticed when side hilling with a zero turn mower. Slower meant more corrections needed. I may be completely wrong so take my comment with a grain of salt 🧂
Wayne Crews No I think you’re on to something. I was just in that awkward “how do these controls work” stage, once I get that muscle memory with it then I think you’re right and a little more speed might help.
They sell those tires at Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply and Rural King for cheap. So its not like you’re gonna have sell a kidney or some other body part to pay for a replacement.
nji345 now just hold the dag gone phone. I’ve just spent an hour googling this....and you might be on to something. But I’m too stubborn to admit it and I enjoy the dash two joke. Care to just call it a draw?
J C I don’t HAVE to, I just want to. It gives me the warm fuzzies, he has helped me out plenty, it’s only right to return the favor every now and again
@@CaptainKleeman Yeah, I get it. My understanding is that the attachment is something of a homemade contraption, so maybe the design could be better/more robust.
Do they still call them tailwheels when they are at the very front of the piece of equipment? Don't feel bad man, there is no way you put all the wear into that thing necessary to break it in the first 20 minutes unless you had the front pointed down too much and it didn't look like that to me. Is that the Ohio River?
You had it tilted forward to much.. you had to much pressure on it. Your fault 100%

Tisk tisk tisk
it looks harder then i thought to run it ,but you were getting the hang of it by the end .the tire wasn't you foul just a bad rims no cheap over it mister mirror.lol
Put some snowplow gides on end of it then you no where that are ,and if u hit something they flex ,there cheap and work great
Mike Muniak I just need to get better at the feel of it and knowing where I’m at. Seat time seat time seat time. Thanks for watching!
I got a kick outta the cemetery shot. Then the wheel breaks. Dirt always said he’s gonna kill ya. LOL. Love the barge shots. How far do they travel.
BZ1340 they go all up and down the Ohio and Mississippi. I need to find out more information on each tow maybe. Although not exactly sure how to go about that lol
@@CaptainKleeman Man it would be sweet to ride on that tug down the river 1 time.
Those rims are no heavier duty than a wheelbarrow rim. If you didn’t break it Dirt Perfect would have...........eventually.
You just found the weakness first.
As for your tracking left and right because of the blade angle I noticed Mike tends to drive forward faster giving him a straighter line. Something I noticed when side hilling with a zero turn mower. Slower meant more corrections needed.
I may be completely wrong so take my comment with a grain of salt 🧂
Wayne Crews No I think you’re on to something. I was just in that awkward “how do these controls work” stage, once I get that muscle memory with it then I think you’re right and a little more speed might help.
They sell those tires at Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply and Rural King for cheap. So its not like you’re gonna have sell a kidney or some other body part to pay for a replacement.
You hell, when you run it hard enough to run wheels off, gotta have a hammer in your bag, then a bigger hammer.
Tom Freeman that’s true! Big hammers are handy!
Hey Capt dont be to hard on yourself..... the wheel has only been around since 3500BC....... New technology always has hiccups
Chris Helms they will figure it out one day.
You broke it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ not again!!!
Tony Peters ...again....sigh
I hate to bust your bubble but the -2 doesn’t mean 2 speed it’s series 2. All the Kabota’s are two speeds.
nji345 now just hold the dag gone phone. I’ve just spent an hour googling this....and you might be on to something. But I’m too stubborn to admit it and I enjoy the dash two joke. Care to just call it a draw?
Captain Kleeman I still like that you used it a long time and you didn’t know it was a two speed.
those old rims sound thinner than a PBR beer can
DodgeBob02 we were pretty surprised. Just something you walk past and assume are right ya know? Upgrades for the wheels are in the near future!
@@CaptainKleeman It kind of seems unfair that you have to eat the cost of it, because they probably were going to fail sooner or later.
J C I don’t HAVE to, I just want to. It gives me the warm fuzzies, he has helped me out plenty, it’s only right to return the favor every now and again
@@CaptainKleeman Yeah, I get it. My understanding is that the attachment is something of a homemade contraption, so maybe the design could be better/more robust.
There should not be that much downward pressure on it. Let the wheels carry the weight of the grader only.
You’re not bad or reckless,just always in wrong place at wrong time. Mike screws up also!🤪🤪
Lisa West hey I like the way you think!
@@CaptainKleeman Mike just doesn't upload the mishaps on video... He leaves that for The Cap'n... LOL
whee mick he the best
robert greene can’t argue with that
Do they still call them tailwheels when they are at the very front of the piece of equipment? Don't feel bad man, there is no way you put all the wear into that thing necessary to break it in the first 20 minutes unless you had the front pointed down too much and it didn't look like that to me.
Is that the Ohio River?
Ohh Paul you ask a great question! And yes sir, that is the Ohio!
Whappa Choppa ??? Its because I'm Canadian right? BaaaHaaa Okay, I agree, it was the best choice.
Baja Bandito 😂😂. I did my best to say this in a Canadian accent when I read your comment. You ever watch letter Kenny?
@@CaptainKleeman BaaaHaaa Thanks for the heads up... that is pretty much Canada in a nut shell... eh! I subscribed and shared
Might be better if you straighten the blade a bit more and backed down depth of cut
U ra KnobGobbler thanks for the tip.
Captain Kleeman, I am about to get one of these units I enjoyed your video
Dr says the wheel to spend 6 weeks n plaster lol to fix its break
Charles Serong and Two aspirin a day! 😂
Look, it's Dusty the grader attachment
Rockey Rockey 😂
what drone are you using these days
Ken Zodrow it’s a mavic mini. Absolutely love it.
Broke something. Imagine that. Frankly, if I haven't screwed something up today, I probably didn't do much...
