Yes, I thought the same thing when Mike was tightening the lock nut the same way as the blade rotation, - but then put it down to maybe the idiosyncrasies of video filming giving viewers a false (reverse) look.... - phew!
@@andymack5093 - Well, we were right. Mike caught his mistake and corrected it in the next video. Seeing as these videos are several years old (OK, maybe weeks) before Mr. Perfect posts them, I guess we'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt and say he did find his own mistake. Regardless, I still think the candy stripe paint job Aaron wants is the correct way to go. That black/green doesn't do it justice. Besides, having MBTS drive it up to C&C Equipment and have Kevin work his magic would have resulted in some fantastic videos with the second string as the stars.
Add an upside down "V" just under the end of the boom where the gearbox is mounted that sticks to maybe 4" to 6" below the blade. It will capture the limb and keep it from trying to shoot away from the blade when cutting it. It also helps to "guide" the limb towards the center of the blade if you're positioning is a little off. Maybe 1" or 1.5" square steel tube should do it.
Wow...that saw worked a whole lot better than I thought it would. I have to say you two have created a work of art. If you could rotate the saw you would be able to vertically limb both sides of a tree and horizontally section the tree without leaving the cab...maybe a 24v motor with reduction and chain drive! I love your channel...my wife says Dirt Perfect and Letsdig18 are like my soap operas...I have to watch them every night!
@@retrodad6864 I watch the videos in the morning I wish there was a video everyday it's what motivates me to go out and do something that and a cup of coffee. lol
The first thing I noticed was the blade was flipped to the correct correlation with the nut. This was not a secret. Lol keep the vids coming. You two are more entertaining than 95% of what's on tv
If that contraption had a rubber mounted camera close to the blade and a screen mounted high in the cab so when you are looking up you could have 1 eye on the screen and 1 eye on wot you can actually see it could be used with alot of precision, just a thought . Nice work great video
The scary factor has not diminished! The way it yeeted that one branch toward you, you may want to ensure the front window is closed. That is one big cutting machine! What a wonderful job of creation. You both need to pat yourselves on the back for this.
Loved seeing it in action. Cuts beautiful. This has been a great series and I enjoyed it every step of the way. Time to put the Dirt Perfect logo on the boom. Good name, "The Limbinator ".
I’m convinced there is nothing you and MBTS cannot build. Together you guys are a well oiled team and the way you two jab at each other is comical, it makes good content. Love the channel
I have to say Mike that is a thing of beauty and you are quite the painter I must admit it I'm impressed very impressed on all of it and man behind the scenes there he is a hell of a welder You guys make a great team
Two things guys 1) Don't forget the cotter pin, or as I was told doing my apprenticeship, the split pin. 2) Mike, be careful with Temu if you used your credit/debit card, a friend of mine got something from Temu, but the credit card details got used by someone else. I personally use a pre paid credit card, issued by MasterCard when I go on Ebay, that way I have a limit, $100. When it's empty you cannot top it up. Brilliant build by the way.
Good job on the paint job, and on protecting your lungs by wearing a respirator, but make sure to use a combination filter cartridge that includes an organic vapor cartridge in addition to the pink pancake P100 particulate filter you did wear. That will protect your lungs from the solvents in the paint too.
Good morning DP and MBtS. I like the color and I think you should call it Forest because it cuts trees and rounds out the trio with Lt. Dan and Bubba Dump.
I like how you use materials you have left over from other jobs. Using up what you already paid for makes perfect sense. They call that Yankee ingenuity. Good video series enjoyed it. How about ( old saw tooth)
It's surprising just how precise and accurate your test run turned out. It sure went threw that hickory in a hurry. Not sure what you are going to name this new attachment the "Simon Saw" Good video Mike love the home made stuff.
That thing is impressive DP. You and Aaron deserve to be very proud for producing something that awesome from mostly scrap. You guys still amaze me and keep me laughing. Cudos guys. Love your channel and your videos Mike. 😆👍
That is a beautiful, well designed and executed piece of equipment. I would have painted the boom yellow so it would show up against the green trees, but I'm red green color blind.
The New Attachment looks awesome. Congrats to both you and Aaron on the great and impressive build, all form scraps, and the dang thing works! Hey, you both forgot the DIRT PERFECT STICKER... Hopefully you will attach that later.
Paint adds a factory look to any thing especially steel coming out of a two man shop. Just add some JD yellow to the rotator lock handle & you're ready to go limbinator some limbs. Hopefully tree limbs.
Cuts great, I used large cutters similar to that to cut steel. Cutting steel is different, much slower rpm and slower cut rate. So glad it came out so good. Good job guys
Did yall see Clint’s latest video, a helicopter dropped off a trimmer for cutting right-a-ways! Like pipelines and high lines! That trimmer had about 6-10 saw blades on it! It was cool Mike, take a look at Clint’s channel! You talk about small drive shaft tube and flimsy looking! Check it out, I’m going to look up some videos on those cutters!
Those cutters are used extensively here in WA State. They do a good enough job for what they are used for, but the cuts aren't pretty or neat. There is a lot of movement because it is hanging from a helicopter. But when your trying to clear limbs from high voltage power transmission lines in the middle of the Cascade mountains, you probably don't care about neat.
How much fun is that. Working with your best friend and tinkering in the garage! Awesome build I think you could get C&C to mass produce your blue print.
This has been a fun build to follow, it's always satisfying that moment when you know that it's going to actually work., build me one please but smaller for my 45 HP tractor 😁
Holy cow Mike! That is impressive as hell! And it is 10x better constructed than any you buy on the open market. You and Aaron should be proud. Congratulations👏
i onder if you can leave the excavator on the lowboy 1 guy driving the other trimming the roadside for the municipality - might get to make some good money in order to pay clint to finally fix and finish Lt Dan
I knew I was in trouble watching y'all paint, when I started huffing and puffing. That green paint dried in my nose and had to change the oxygen tube on my breathin machine. Looks good guys.
What an amazing outcome for this project! The paint scheme of black and green was "Dirt Perfect" especially the added specs of green paint on the black paint ! I'd guess @AWD is on the right track for naming this attachment, but I'd try " Tree limb N ator". ( us Humans have limbs too)
Mike, You need to go out to the hardware stores more often, that size washer hasn't been five cents for the last few years (Thank you, Brandon!). Where oh where is the DP sticker?!? Maybe you need to get a line of 'Almost DP' stickers, as well, for the welded projects, so you guys can provide signature for Aaron's skill and contributions and we can rightly appreciate. Thank you both!!!😁
The ( Limb Zilla ) If you are going to add tubbing for the hoses, put a tube on both sides this way you won't be stretching the other hose. great video as always Mike and Aaron. See you on the next video and project
Ten foot up in the air - Fooey ! The one I had here (have picture) was a 100' saw. Trimming red oaks above 2-Phase power service to the ranch. I had prior to that, taken out two massive oaks - A live oak 28" in diameter that split in an ice storm. and a 20" Red Oak that was dropping limbs on us and a neighbor. After I took mine out, they took the sister tree out of their back yard. Homes move in next door to the ranch. Rats. Primer will help it last and last. A lot of rubbing from trees will abrade the boom.
Well done, guys! With DP concept ideas, MBTS's welding skills nothing seems out of reach. All you need to market is to co-opt NYA to wave his magic wand. Who knows you'll be the next big name in your industry!
