That opening scene must have been a $5,000 fuel stop.

I would really like to see you guys take over the mine and run it for awhile and really show and explain the process, the equipment and the findings for the time and effort you put in. People like gold mining...it's the HUNT, the CHASE and the WHAT IF factor. Please do it.

I would have never in a million years imagined that I'd be avidly watching recovery videos but here I am 😄 Can't stop won't stop, you guys are too awesome for words!

The editor of these videos is amazing! Great cutaways, segues, fades, hilarious outtakes woven into the video, seamless storytelling, thoughtful music choices.

Incredible. So cool how the team works together getting after it.

HeavyD I have to say it again, the audio and video on the close is as good as any else I've seen. Kudos to the editors and drone operators, shows really where you guys go, and conditions where you live your lives.

Definitely didn't think that telehandler was going to lift that dozer. Impressive

Dang wish I would have known about HeavyD and his team before a week ago, so I could have been watching some awesome videos of such caring loving wonderful team of men! And when I say men, these are not your typical average men; these guys are real life hard core bulldozers, strong minded, hard working, very intelligent men! But also at the same time this team of men are soft as teddy bears at heart! They believe in having healthy bodies, working out in the gym, being true to others and self, caring about everyone's community, believe in each other , trust each other immensely with each others life......I could go on and on at the greatness! I just love all you great men! Wish the men around my area were like your team!

I enjoy watching (with envy) your recovery videos. The "Drott" trackloader that you're referring to appears to be an ol' International TD 6 or 9 with pre-60's Harvester red paint. Drott made attachments for International and other manufacturers way back then. Please keep the recovery videos coming.

I love seeing you and your team working on old machinery and old trucks .

One of the coolest videos I've watched in a very long time . Getting old iron running is my passion ....Awesome job HeavyDSparks. Do the mining series but please guys keep it real ,unlike other over dramatic gold mining crap that's on Discovery theses days .

Ya'll are so great in watching all your adventures! I only wish I could be there to help or at least be gopher for you and learn from the experiences. Thanks again!

I was an heavy equipment operator for damn near ten years and you can pretty much throw anybody on any piece of equipment and they can track it anywhere you need them to, operating them is a different story. Dave is one of those guys that has to do everything, he needs to chill and sit back and watch for once, he has a good crew.

it's good to see craftsmen at work....knowing what they're doing and not just playing around..You guys are very entertaining AND educational!!! Thanks!

Is diesel Dave as nice and chill as he really seems on these videos? Always seems to be in the best mood 👍

I think it would be very exciting to see you and your crew do some gold mining. This maybe a once in a lifetime experience👷‍♂️

I love how you guys show the landscapes around where you're driving/working.....all the drone footage is so pretty. Totally different views than we have here in Kentucky.
It was kind of nostalgic watching your new lift. I drove a similar one in the Army, and I loved it.

Man these cats have to Love having Allen around. Dude is Clip-Share gold.

Love your enthusiasm brother! Buy the mine!!!!! Too bad the town is all but gone.Your parents raised you right : hanging with good, caring people. Your hearts in the right place. On the Lords errand

Love the humor and enthusiasm on every project you take on.

I'm on board! Sounds like a great next venture for you, your company, and your fan base!

Can’t get enough of these recovery videos

Estos cuates de H.D. son a todo dar, son muy empáticos con los latinos, y sus trabajos son de primera, ojalá que les vaya muy bien en su negocio, suerte chavos.

It's always so exciting when you get a 50 year old engine that's been sitting in the weather to turn over for the first time in ages.

More than two videos there’s not enough a day from Heavy D and Diesel Dave

Hola Heavy! Haces unos rescates portentoso de máquinas muy valiosa, echas para durar toda la vida. Hay están tu y tu equipo para hacer esos grandes rescates y volverlas a la vida.ADELANTE!

love the spirit you have for learing and a challenge. Wish I had not lost that. Stay Strong!!!!

Absolutely what an interesting kind of thing to learn about and we're excited to see what you got going on and we wish you success

I enjoy each and every episode. A big thank you for all the help services you guys do for recovering out back trash and souls in need . Giving back makes for good programs -

I find that all the variety of filming yall do is awesome. I never know what I'm gonna see on your videos or what you are going to be doing. Thanks for providing great informative videos. 👍

I like this channel because instead of just flexing cool stuff you actually help people.

Yes, yes, yes... I wanna see you get this old mine workings up and running again.. I've panned for gold and the excitement you feel with that first little flake/nugget is awesome!!!

"We cant just keep running it on starting fluid alone, that's terrible for it" .... 2 cans and 15 minutes follow of... starting fluid =) Seriously cool stuff and great work from the team! Except Diesel assaulting people with batteries. =(

Would love to see all that stuff involved with the century mine and all the equipment refabrication remanufacturing things to make them work

Love your showgram. Getting the work done while showing the comradery, the knowledge base and the BS. The editing is pure genius. Best to you all.

Loved the video and now a machine is on it's way to home base. Great job guys.

You know some of us would REALLY love to have some of that old equipment

I like hunter from what I seen in all the videos I seen of y'all.. he is a hard ass dedicated worker. I can tell just by these vlogs he is a good ass dude props to him all all his hard work

I hope it is not to late to convince you to get that mine up and going.... I have always wanted to do that myself.

It's crazy how much stuff you guys do

Heck yea!! Would love to see ya'll gold mining! You guys rock! Keep on keeping on!!!

Love this! Michelle's dad would have loved seeing those machines up and running, he loved that mine!

I’ve always thought how cool it would be to see you guys on Gold Rush or do something very similar, even on your own. You guys are my favorite Clip-Share channel, and I watch a lot of Clip-Share. 🤙🏼

Watching and learning mining stuff is super intriguing to me since theres all these old mines near where I live that have since been barred to the public but I want to see how it done.

Your team work is absolutely amazing, one of my favorite things about this channel.

You guys are Great I'd watch you do just about anything love the fact you went and helped the guy with the house boat and now am in the process of watching all your videos. Keep up the great work guys.

ALWAYS GREAT WORK GUYs from the land down under me and my family love watching your clips great inspirational stuff makes me want to live this way and come and help out great stuff all the time from Dag's

This is my NEW favorite channel. Men in their natural habitat, exploring, building, breaking and fixing sh*t

I would find it interesting to see you take up gold mining. At 79 I still like learning, so learning how to gold mine along you and your crew would be fascinating.

One thing to be sure of is to make absolutely sure you get the mining rights not just the land. I know a few folks who made that mistake back in California.

I really enjoy watching your videos especially when you are getting old equipment and get them to run.

Not only would I like to see you buy and work that gold mine, I'd love to be a part of it. I love that kind of thing, but obviously I'll have to settle for just watching you do it. Looking forward to whatever you decide to do. Keep upthe good work and videos fellers.

I absolutely love your videos. I watched the one where you recovered the D7 that had been buried for years and you commented about the difficulty of getting the lowboy trailer to follow the tractor. You guys should design a steering system for the rear wheels of the lowboy, similar to what hook and ladder fire trucks have, but without the need of a steering guy on the back end. With all the geniuses on your crew I’m sure you could come up with a design that worked.

Man I would like to meet y’all in person. Has to be a blast to be around 😂 and love the trucks you build

Would love to see some gold mining content from you and your crew. Getting Fred Dodge involved is solid advice, not only could he give you good info on equipment condition but also how to make it more efficient. He could also give insight into where on the property to mine or where gold should be. Even if you don't go the gold mining route I'll still keep watching your recoveries. One thing tho next time you get under 5+ ton loader arms make sure you have some sort of safety stop. In the vid may have had one on the other side, especially when working with older equipment. Even if it was that awesome telehandler under its bucket just in case. Couldn't believe how beast it was with that smaller crawler. Didn't seem to be too much for it at all. Good content sir keep it up please.

new to your cast.i like these stories mostly because ofve the interaction in the crew. thank you for cleaning up the water. I'm from mich. & I remember when people dumped their garbage, in wanted vehicles or those that went thru the ice on the widest part.of the kazoo river. they recently drain the reservoir & found dozens of cars, barrels, etc. thank again for doing what yer doing god bless

Love the show guys, Great content as always! Yes you should mine for gold, but you guys 1st should do some videos of you guys doing some testing of the area for gold !

Man you have some of the best mechanics around just watching those guys work on this stuff is just amazing how they can actually get it to run

I can't wait for the next videos up there. Gold mining has always intrigued me and to see your crew do it would be awesome

Dude, after subscribing and watching a bunch of your videos I have realized that my life is NOT exciting enough. You guys are AWESOME

Your work ethic is top shelf, and the care for your team and equipment is refreshing to see. Look after your tools and team and they will look after you.

Very cool guys. Wish I was a younger man. I would come work for you. Love the way your team shows up and immediately starts solving problems.

@HeavyDSparks I'm sure you know and someone has mentioned it before but you could always setup a portable secondary tank with a pump and hoses to hook right into most diesel equipment and just run it off your secondary tank.

Hey you guy's I'm so happy that I came across your utub. It's been exciting for the past two days watching you and your team doing all the things that you all do. The best thing Since toilet paper. The best trucks I have ever seen . Greatly appreciate all that you and your team do. Love the Ford raptor. I've wanted one since they came out

You scored that dozer amazing. You and crew know there stuff.

Hey Guys - Love the videos. Was worried to see you guys working under the raised bucket on the komatsu without it propped - its an old unfamiliar piece of gear, could come down any time. Stay safe

"Realizing he can't drive both at once." Best comment! Can't wait to learn gold mining with you!

Most impressive videos!!! Thank you for making them. Your videos are totally addicting!!

Awesome guys never get tired of seeing what you guys are up to next be safe keep up the good work

Dave’s like a child. I want to drive everything!!

Wow... Epic! Finally found the story behind "Kroger" when Alec tried to give himself a cool name, but instead got the shame name. LOL [7:51]
I've been watching the more recent videos and have heard him called kroger a few times, but I did not know the context until now. Well worth it! lol

Glad you've picked up on the scammers Mr D, ive been reporting them to YT... Even had a fake reply the other day on your Lake boat rescue vid... I know not to respond to them apart from calling them scammers....
Would love to visit from over the pond... Big thumbs up....

The zooms on Jim while he's eating the sandwich made me laugh more than it should have

YES of course you all should operate the Century Mine! Can’t wait to see it!

Again it seems we have multiple interests and i grew up mining in Idaho ! My first hand experience is amazing experience I can’t wait to see more ! You will never be disappointed with digging for gold once you find out if it has gold ! Gold fervor is real ! What a adventure!!!

Great job boys you all are so funny some times it makes me want to see more. grandma 71 like you all.
My dad and I took out motors in and put others back in I loved it Like you say you can work on old ones but they make it hard to do that to new ones.

Great video man, so awesome to see the old machine goin so glad I found your channel

You guys are crazy, but fun to watch.

I really loved this video, I know it sounds weird, but I didn’t want it to end. The mere fact that y’all were going to a gold mine got my attention right away, as well as getting the equipment and loading it. As for the mine, I would say go for it ! You only live once, I would say pack in as much living in this lifetime as you can. Thank you, guys ! Please be safe in all you do.

very nice stuff i love all your videos and good luck from germany for more recoverys :3

It's like Snowrunner.....but in real life! =D
Great job guys.

Nice pick of equipment this trip. Well documented.

Go for the gold, that will make great videos. Thanks for what you do , I enjoy the recovery videos.

You guys are awesome loved seeing you do a recovery of the Sequoia with 5 ton truck thanks for making great videos

Your guys’ production with setting up shots, transitions, framing etc just keeps getting better and better and better! Can’t wait to see the service truck when you build it!!!

Wow, I am amazed at the idea of you guys buying an abandoned gold mine!

these recoveries are awesome good job guys

Go for it. Everyone needs GOLD.

I love the old track diesel content! I just bought a 1959 IH TD-6 and im working on getting it going!👍🏻

Team work makes the dream work. Love how well you guys work together. What a group effort.

I really want to see you guys mine for gold! I think that would be a awesome video to do. Keep up the great work guys I'll be looking for the next ones.

Gold digging sounds like fun. I to would love to learn how it is done. Great video guys.

You guys make my day , shout out to the editor... love these videos and hanging with the guys .😂😂👍

I'd be interested on seeing your mining adventures...thanks for all the great content..

Your videos are awesome. You definitely got a down crew. That definitely get the job done.👍

cool episode guys. I like watching the parts where you bust out the experience of salvage/recovery and using your know-how to get something started or lift it from some place ridiculous. It is a true skill set. Appreciate you sharing. Looking forward to what the future brings for your team.

big thanks to Dave for being one of the few guys who actually know the differents between a track loader and a bulldozer, atta boy Dave

I will watch you do anything you decide to put out. Love all of your content.

would love to see gold mine up and running!!!
