The best compliment, Repeat customer... nothing better for a good business owner.

I'm thinking you'll be seeing that trailer again. It's sad what the road treatment stuff does to vehicles on the road.
Good work. Good video.

I'd like to thank YouTube for sticking me with a 3-minute long intro commercial for a solar panel installation. Maybe its a regional thing...I'm in Texas. But every video I tried to watch has the same damn infomercial.

Good work, Brandon...nothing like a repeat customer.

Oh yes, this trailer got the gate lift assist devices, plus welding repairs in previous episodes! Great mobile work.
Brandon, when will you announce the Yes welder 200DP giveaway? Glad to see the hurt leg is healing! You are getting around better every episode Thanks for your channel !

MM77 Approved 👍🏼 👍🏼………………………………………………………..If I would have known that I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself! Getting old does SUCK!!

[UttonPhotography]

Why did you decide to go stick vs shielded core?

[olddawgdreaming]

Good job Brandon, looked great when you finished it. Stay safe and keep up the good videos. Fred.

[sohnwehseler]

Thanks for the added commentary Brandon, I appreciate those extra details! Great channel

[Tubeagrutis]

Cool vid, Brandon. Thanks for the advice on the quick/small jobs. You're the best!!! Keep the vids coming.

What a great example how to make such an excellent repair. Couldn't do it better. Strikes me that your Yeswelder has a far more beautiful display compared to my HBM200P. When grinding I always put an old towel over the open machine connections. Now they are open to all the dust. Once I wanted to buy those Lincoln electrodes but was shocked at the price. I was told that they offer you a superior puddle and ignition. Learned a lot again for which my biggest thanks Brandon, especially what your charge is at minimum and how you play with the rods. You're a true Master.. Merci and greetz from Holland, Marcel Knippers.😀💥💥💯💯👌Ps what a beast of a John Deer lawnmower you've got..Love it!

[jaysmith]

Good work glad to see you putting the dp200 to work. It's definitely holding up to the mobile work and the generator usage. Makes me more confident in purchasing one. Hope your knee is better.👍

Nice job again and well done, your truck is also nice equipped with the tools you need. I love to see that everything, all the equipment, is well placed and easy to find, thanks for the video and have a great weekend Brandon, stay safe and greetings.

[Goldwingrider]

Super job!! Unbelievable rust to deal with.. I had a hard time with amp settings when comes to frames like that…. Moved the ground clamps closer… finally arced. You aced it! 😂

[donaldhalls]

Great job, and very handy information, always a pleasure to watch, thanks for sharing, all the best to you and your loved ones

[jimmacsuga]

Customer service and repeat business because of professionalism and effeciency. Lessons for all of us. Thanks, Brandon!!

[davestewart]

Thanks for sharing your video, nicely done my friend 👍😁

[erikslagter]

Hi Brandon, is it not possible you are arcing out the hinges when you ground to the tailgate? I've always kept in mind to keep the path between the ground clamp and the stuff you are welding is as direct as possible. I am not sure if this is just for bearings, what do i know ?!🤓

[jdimeo]

Thanks for the tip on THD. Totally unaware of that and hoping to buy a generator for my welder soon.
