Skidsteer road grader attachment - first time operator - Kubota SVL 90-2 

You had it tilted forward to much.. you had to much pressure on it. Your fault 100%

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!!

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...

You are a good guy with a good attitude. Thanks for taking us along on your journey.

You did a great job learning how to operate the grader attachment!! We all make mistakes, that is how we learn. Keep up the entertaining videos!!

Refreshing to hear your take responsibility attitude. Love the river shots.

I like, nice way to grade. A lot to learn when grading, you did good.

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.

Awesome drone footage at the end Capt.

Kleenman that is one thing I can say for you. It is always entertaining. God bless

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.

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

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?"

Nice river barge drone footage . Cool

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, 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.

Nice Job. Good Drone Footage

Great video. I appreciate the informational comments as it goes along!

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. :)

Great content, liked and subscribed!

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.

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 .

Another good one man stuff breaks I hear that nothing is built perfect

Anyone else notice Kleenman caries tools because he knows he is going to damage things. Lol God bless

Saying Mike gave you a “crash course” really got my attention. Time to pause and go get some popcorn 🍿

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.

New subscriber, good camera shots, ty for sharing

Captain,,, it you are driving it's bound to be entertaining. Nice bit of video brother

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.

Captain, I can’t blame you for the broken rim. It was going to break at some point. Excellent drone footage.

Great video, and I immediately subscribed. Sometimes RU-vid 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!

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.

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.

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

Up till the wheel broke I think you should give Mike a few lessons. LOL

Such a good driver... I bet you could drive the wheels off anything! 😂😜

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.

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.

Always entertaining👏👍

you are doing good

The wheels look like nothing more then typical wheelbarrow wheels, that attachment needs something heavy duty

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.

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.

You worry too much, captain. Things that flimsy are bound to break sooner or later. Good video again, btw ! '

All you need is a couple of bushhog wheels on there, looks good!

did not think i could find something to make me dislike skid-steers/loaders more,,,, but here this thing is

I'm seeing a trend here. One wheeled brush hog, now a one wheeled grader attachment. Have a good one.

Come on Kleenman just say it for me. Just one time. Say "Louise Louise Wo Wo" . Lol God bless

I love watching towboats,see if you can get a name from one of those boats.

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

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.

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.

It has TWO SPEEDS!! That one makes me laugh everytime. Mirror, not so much.

I knew you'd love the whoppa choppa Arnold 😂😂😂

New name for you Captain Murphy. Murphys Law. If its going to break you can do it. Lol

Uh oh, I see a 5k subscriber giveaway item. I'm feeling lucky!

Looks to me it needs better wheels. Keep up the good work kleeman

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

Well at least you are close to a river that a barge can go down so you can be called Captain.

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

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.

that looks like it needs front wheels that you would be able to steer or at least lock them when driving straight ahead

Pretty light wheels for the weight of the blade. But than again we can always blame it on operator error too 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

Looks like you caught on pretty quick to the grader..

Yeah those stamped wheels are not ideal for that situation the center should be out of 3/16 steel or better it's a cool Contraption though... LOL 👍

Mount a convex mirror on front fender facing back and down. You can see both ends of the blade then

Nothing ever breaks when the boss uses it.

If that was my machine, I would replace both wheel rims with a heavier duty type rim

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.

Hey you found that guy that had the grader attachment ! Lol

these things happen but those wheels should be better built to handle the stress of the load.

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.

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.

🎼Wheel on the Grader attachment 🎶 no longer goes 🎶round an round🎶. LOL Better Luck next time! Have a good one!

whee mick he the best

Unfortunately rental equipment always tends to be a bit prone to issues more than most.

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.

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

You hell, when you run it hard enough to run wheels off, gotta have a hammer in your bag, then a bigger hammer.

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.

what drone are you using these days

You’re not bad or reckless,just always in wrong place at wrong time. Mike screws up also!🤪🤪

Dr says the wheel to spend 6 weeks n plaster lol to fix its break

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.

Whappa Choppa ??? Its because I'm Canadian right? BaaaHaaa Okay, I agree, it was the best choice.

those old rims sound thinner than a PBR beer can

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?

Gravel Adequate.

Look, it's Dusty the grader attachment

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.

Hey Capt dont be to hard on yourself..... the wheel has only been around since 3500BC....... New technology always has hiccups

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 🧂

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.

Tisk tisk tisk

You broke it~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ not again!!!

I'm thinking there's gotta be a song or two about your luck with equipment. Lol.

There should not be that much downward pressure on it. Let the wheels carry the weight of the grader only.

Might be better if you straighten the blade a bit more and backed down depth of cut
