Mowing a very steep slope with the dl550 and Baumalight brush mower for free, might be crazy!! 

I’ve got that exact mower in stock if anyone needs one

Good lord Mike, you just did the best promotional video for the CASE boys that could be done!!! I wouldn't have done that myself for any money let alone volunteering to do it!! Thank you for bringing us along on your journey!!

Dude, you have my respect tackling that hill ...mighty impressive and btw the township is lucky to have a citizen such as yourself for all your efforts 👌

I always know that whenever the three of you guys get together this is gonna be some interesting type of video/RU-vid entertainment. And you didn't disappoint me once again, Thank You.

For some reason, I can watch skid steer/brush cutter videos all day long. So satisfying! Thanks for posting DP! Keep up the great channel!

Totally amazing performance of man, power unit and mowing tool on a seriously dangerous slope of rough grass. Congratulations to you all including the camera man.

Wow...your machine did a great job on that steep hill. I was impressed.

Definitely seeing the slope on camera. Very satisfying seeing the results.

Hey DP! This video is amazing thing to watch I could see this DL550 being a very good piece of your fleet! This proves right here that this DL550 is like a tank! Compact but really amazing and its has proved to myself that this is a amazing machine! I hope you purchase it! Would like to see a video with the grader blade attachment! Thanks for sharing this!

From the first time I saw this machine I knew it would shine on a slope like this…that forestry vibe was very obvious on this job. The 550 looks so overbuilt and tank like , that extra weight really made this thing dig in and not slip tracks. When I saw you trying some side-hilling I thought “man DP is nuts” but it held pretty good for a straight cleat machine. The HP was on full display here..considering that you backed up that 1to1 grade in a 20,000 lbs. machine with no sound of any great laboring was pretty impressive.

I'm impressed with were that machine will go and what it can do. I thought steel tracks would tear up the ground more than rubber, but how wrong I was. Full credit to Case for designing such a machine. I bet the pucker factor was quite high at times on those grades. I think when the time comes to return it you will buy it if you can afford it. A Dirt Perfect sticker would look good on the panel above the sprocket. Keep up the good work and content,

You and the Case did really well! That was scary steep! It's nice having a spotter.

Masterful operation of the Mino in a very dangerous project. Awesome work DP

That Case 550 Is a Beast of a Machine ..They would work slick out on the Pipeline in certain places...I've been on those hills like that. And It only takes a half a Sec too get yourself in A Real PICKLE..Great Job Dirt Perfect .MBTS did a Great job Filming...LOL .Farmer Chris has BOSSMAN down too a T.... 🤣 🤣 Great Video Guys..

You sure got all my respect...That was super steep! That was a great commercial for the equipment. They should use that as a selling point, for just how it got thru the adverse conditions!

Trust me , it showed the hill. Nice work. Keep on smiling.

The more I see of the 550 in action and its capabilities the more impressed I become. This project would have been a bear, in my estimation, without the horse power/ torque, steel tracks and the weight of the machine. As I have said before, I don’t pay your bills, I don’t know what you have for upcoming projects, but I would think if It were me, I might take a hard look at what the 550 might be able to do as far as opening a little niche market for future filler jobs to keep things rolling, just the bucket alone with its capacity is a game changer for me, not mentioning everything else about it. Thanks for the tag along video sir. Enjoyed it.

The side view of you coming down the hill really illustrates how steep the hill is. The words “guts” and “glory” comes to mind. Excellent video.👍👍👍 🇨🇦

You definitely have a big set, and that machine is amazing. Case has a homerun....so far

Mike this proves it! You have to cut a deal and buy the case DL550! Can’t wait to see video with it using the Fecon mulched, it will be a beast with it

What I have seen in your last few videos that is one heck of a machine. Great work guys.

That machine is so impressive. It made mowing that hill look easy.

Can't wait for your review on that beast. Amazing machine

I had to mow a hill side like that so we could access our manholes. I was using a Cat 299D3 skid steer with rubber tracks. It was raining and I made more of a mess than anything. Only difference is you had a mud pit to worry about at the bottom. I had a 150' cliff leading straight into Puget Sound to worry about. Scariest job I ever did. Those skid steers are something else.

Mike is Proving the 550 to be a unbelievable durable multitask machine. It’s weight alone puts it in a class above the others. Great video Mike. You are a brave man…lol…🧐🫣👷🏻‍♂️ Farmer Chris needs one of these 550’s for the farm with some of the attachments.

That was truly amazing for sure! I think you should keep this one, seems to be a winner in so many different tasks!

Impressive machine again!! Ty for supporting your community!! Stay safe!!

A ginormous set of gonads DP! Glad you kept this versatile beast. It’s a treat to see it in action. Thanks for sharing!

At about 23:34 that shot really does a good job of showing just how freaking steep that hill is!

Your minotaur is a beast. It handled mowing that hill with very little effort. Your community is lucky to have you.

Always great to see such community spirit, that's proper seat of your pants mowing great job 👍

Mr Simon... All I can say is you have one helluva set of steel cojones mowing that hill! My hat's off to you sir!! The Minotaur and the Baumalite are the bomb!!!

The case is the best I have seen, really at everything you have tried it on. Five days a week I mow lake banks, some even steeper, they wake you up after lunch. We use Zero turn mowers, once you hit a wet spot your along for the ride. Great stuff, Mike. I hope you don't pay Aran for all his support . (-:

Not gonna lie, that was impressive. Single grouser tracks were a must on that one. Great video!

What’s really impressive is the amount of time you give free of charge to local community stuff.

That is one impressive machine. I do believe you found a winner Mike. Not sure I would have wanted to make the first trip down that hill but it sure seemed stable.

14:25 Awesome job MBHTS, great shot of the angle.

I think you are doing a great job in funding reasons why this toy needs to be part of DP's tool kit.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Well, I know right ! Been about 3 years or so but I mentioned about these,,,I had the JD333G, with that mower out front- it adds to front weight and balances out for much steeper climbs, I done 55 degree with a 84" triple blade, I could also go up at a 45 angles cross ways--the lower tail end of the downhill side track helped with a slight better stance, simular with excavator. You are correct, those steelys are the cats meow. I almost got a set for the ol 333G. I gotta say - I noticed no one was standing in front of the cutter towards the end of the video HUMMM. THAT'S ALL I GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT ... I have sent rocks over 100 yards before, over a river edge straight up and down nearly 100' - drive up to it and tilt right on over and catch all that tall stuff and raise up as backing - nothing but horizon after wards - clip a rock and she flys . Have some pics and videos myself too. You would do yourself good with that Case - gonna need someone to operate her though because ya can't be in the 120 / Minotaur / dumper Dan / 240 / and prepping the Home Oval Track at the same time 🔥

That cleaned up nicely. That machine is truly incredible. You are a champion for your community.

👍👍👍👍 I don't know you will ever find anything you can't do with it. Awesome!!!!

I grew up a 4-H member. I fully support them and I love Country Fairs. With admission prices and the cost of everything at a county fair... what you did is a paying job! Period. Food vendors, ride operators/owners etc... typically pay either a percentage of sales or a flat rate to be there. Monster truck, tractor pulls, demo derby, combine demo derby, stock car/sprint car races etc... usually have entrance fees and/or sell tickets to get in. There's enough money for you not to need to volunteer time, fuel, equipment maintenance expenses. Maybe time if you've got a big heart...

"For free" is always good!!! For the owner... 😂

My JD 2010 Row Crop tractor, with the rear wheels screwed all the way out might mow it sideways. But, if a rear wheel drops in a ground hog hole - it may be game over! Great video. Thanks; Mike, Aaron & Chris! Lee

Slow and steady with no sudden movements and trusting the vehicle after your initial look over the problem at hand.. that's a good class in how it's done there Mike!

That dl550 Minotaur and Baumalight are an impressive pairing. Man, that dl550 is a BEAST! What a versatile machine. Great video. Thanks DP. 👍

There is a fine line between bravery and stupidity, and you where on it. Well done. The DL550 is a very impressive machine. A ruckus rake attachment on the back and it would be the best finishing machine on the planet. Finish grade and ready for seed in one pass.

I used to work for a guy that had a contract to mow ammo bunkers on a Naval base. We had hills like that on 3 sides. Too steep for mowers and couldn’t drive tracked machines on them due to weight restrictions, so it was ALL weed trimmer work…. Hot, dirty, muscle aching steepness, and CHIGGERS (if you know what they are, you’ll understand the agony)! As always, another great and entertaining episode. Awesome!

Your town should send a thank you to Case for you having the 550 on promo and showing it to them.

Wow , what a mighty machine , for its size it outshines a lot of other larger ( and smaller ) machines , and the brushcutter isn't bad either . Great job !!!

I’ve seen “Brush Hogs” on lots of different equipment but the combination of the DL550 with the Baumalight brush mower is nothing less than impressive!

Wow Nice job Mike. The 550 is in Legend Mode now, it managed to make that "look" easy, hat's off to the operator and his cheering crowd. It's a keeper to me if you can work a good deal out with Case, you can't beat it. Keep up the good work Mike.

Wowzers, that Minotuar sure proved itself the best skid stear out there these days taking on a hill with that steep a slope. It's easily the most versitile. Now if you can get a certain Lady to sign the check to add it to your fleet. The comedic banter between y😮ou and Arron with Farmer Chris added in was awesomely entertaining. Thanks Mike, for the Friday morning smiles.

Looks like a good time ! I love mowing with my skid ! Also the steep ground keeps things interesting !

That'll give you some serious pucker factor ! Great operating !

You are a brave man. I can't imagine trying to do this in a tractor. I'd be tempted to call in one of those folks with a small goat herd and let them take care of the vegetation.

That was definitely a steep slope,Minotaur was impressive how it was able to maintain and cut the slope.good video as always.missed the banter between you two.impressive videography by Aaron.😎😎😎👍👍👍

WOW! That is a steep hill and Arron is a great spotting coach for that grade. Excellent team work. You can sure see where the rubber tracks were NG. The Case Minotaur/Baumalight brush mower (& Mike) was the boss on that hill an I'm a big John Deere fan.

My goodness, good job glad you didn’t have any problems.

Impressive performance by both the machines and the operator. I'm sure that at times the pucker factor was high enough that the seatbelt was superfluous. The camera angle from the roof was the best of the video. Well done!

Another great video, i think case will be well happy with a video like that showcasing their machine .

It’s Very Good that you All Volunteer, Hopefully You Claim your Time and Equipment/Fluids on Your Taxes.

Thank you Case You guys do awesome work !!!

Not a big Case fan but that's damn impressive on a 1:1 slope

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Wishing you and your family the best.

Those steel tracks are gold here!

Wow MIKE the 550 is amazing it redefines skid steer technology ,I reckon Case has put a big challenge out to other manufactures ,OH the OPERATORS no slouch either ,and the camera man's very brave filming on that steep sloap would have made a great action shot Aaron rolling down the hill filming all the way LOL.As always very entertaining mate thank Cheers Kym Adelaide

Trust me, the way you guys videoed and tape that it definitely shows that hill being straight up and down nice job guys

Nicely done Mike hope you get to keep the toy and everyone is right i think it would serve you well in what you do for your family and their future to help them stay secure and safe 👍😎🇺🇸NY

😮 22:29 that’s about the best shot to show how steep that hill is…that little ♉️🚜is a beast!😊

Really enjoying all the spring green. DP...😊

Awesome video! Awesome machine! And the operator is pretty cool too. Thanks for the show.

I was impressed with the machine before but that right there....wow.

I've watched all your videos showcasing this machine, and Kleemans, and as Pilot says below a small tank is just what it makes you think of. Impressive for sure!

As sphincter retention exercises go that one was a doozy Mike. Closest I got to that was pushing the top edges of a borrow pit in in Bosnia operating an old D8 (with turnbuckles ) serving in the UN . The Pit wasn’t benched and the drop off was over 60 foot with some serious cracks running up the face. I aged about 10 years in under an hour. Kept my seatbelt off for that one 😬👍🏼 Cracking job that machine is a beast but in the right hands perfect for the job. Skills Mike 👌🏼

Good morning sunshine oh that hill is scary! Good luck! Much love from Henderson Ga

I think it has proven its self I think you should buy it. I know from what I've seen in your videos if I could buy a machine that would be the one. Awesome Job Y'ALL 👌 thanks for sharing 👍

Wow on the edge of my seat hoping see the case power through. She is a keeper

That Minotaur is a beast of a skidsteer. That's the replacement for the kubota skidsteer right there. The Takeuchi is a nice skidsteer but the one you got is a little bit too small to tackle some of the jobs you need a skidsteer for. Adding that Case machine to the roster and keeping the Takeuchi you'll have the smaller skidsteer when needed but the Minotaur would be used the most I would think. I really think you should keep it if financially possible. That hill was steep. Being in the grading line of work myself I can tell how steep it is and I'm familiar with what a 1:1 slope looks like. That machine handled it like a champ. I think you're too impressed with it to send it back or you'll be very upset if you do send it back. I know I would be. I Awesome video! Stay well. -Wil 👍

Have seen a couple videos on the Demo machine have to say I’m very impressed with i What I’ve seen. Case has done a great job designing this!!!

Mike Aaron and Chris amazing job, it was extremely steep! Thanks for sharing! Kevin

Job well done guy's, that Minotaur is impressive.. 🇺🇸

Happy Easter Mr DP and Family and supporters and workers.

Nice job. This one impressed me. Big Time. It really shined on this job for sure.

WOW !!! That Case Minotaur performed like a champ. Perfect example of how versatile that unit is. My hats off to Case and your skills. Now, your choice of spotters is another question 🤣🤣🤣 Great video Mike👍👍

Blessed and Happy Easter to everyone.

Option 4 bring in goats. They actually do that here in Southern California for the rolling hills. God bless

The minotaur is awesome at mowing that Hill awesome job Mike great video thanks Mike and Aron and Chris

Yeah that is the same Brand as my Grandpa's caterpillar tractor Case as well as our neighbors' wheel tractor excellent brand you could do a lot worse, I was 9 years old watching my grandad push over trees with his Case tractor, still love watching heavy equipment push over trees.

DP so far that case has done every job you put it up against and I think the steel tracks helped you a lot on that hill. Be safe man enjoyed your video.

That case 550 knocked out that steep slope. I’m sure you puckered up a few times another good job always enjoy the videos. Big fan 👍

Job well done, DP! Is most definitely a keeper

Case owes you for the demonstrations and endorsements of the Minotaur. I’m certain they will get some sales just because of your RU-vid videos. Impressive machine.

Howdy Mr. Dirt, You done did an awesome job! I guess your 2 supervisors were impressed, too! Stay safe, Jim

What an impressive machine.

The DL550 is just bad ass. Brave mowing DP. Hope we get to see that ripper do some working the ground in future videos. Great use of the ripper as a stabilizer.

Awsome. Just. Awesome! Be well and be safe!

MBTS great video showing how steep the hill is. Looks like the camera is level and gives a great perspective.

I agree you should keep it.

Case is a great machine. Very versatile.
