Thank you so much for not putting “music” over this symphony. The sound of that machine being ran by this guy is truly music to my ears. This machine will run another 50 years with only oil changes if operators like this run it. No slamming, no clanking, no bogging, no abuse. It really is beautiful ground too. Not a rock in sight. Reminds me of Mariposa county above the Merced river.
You can’t afford a man that doesn’t have finesse, especially when you start buying parts. I’ve thrown guys off a piece of equipment, I’m not delaying a project because some Ahole wants to abuse my shit.
I've never heard of a slope board I thought that was the way you do it. Lol Love cutting those truck roads through steep ground. Great running dozer with a very good operator!
This doesn’t look like a job for a slope board to maybe after the road was cut across the face of the slope, he could use one to trim the bank but in this instance I think it would be cumbersome. Having said that , I have trimmed a lot of slopes with a D-8H but never run a slope board so could be mistaken
We called slope boards batter boards in Australia. Country Roads Board had lots of D7Es and many good operators who using an angle blade could cut a very nice batter face in rock in road cuttings which was usually 1:1 and too hard for a grader. It was quite a skill. Those sort of professional dozer operators don’t exist today.
Very nice to see one of the greatest Bulldozers Cat has ever made still working hard and sounds awesome like a 46A should! Especially in Communist California; this is a rare sight with all the emissions laws. Great to see! And a very great operator; very efficient and so easy on that great machine! Nice job.... keep it up.
@@barrygreenstein2816 The point is that leftist Communist/Socialist politicians are making it illegal to use classic machines like this in Commiefornia... there is no escaping the 'effed up way the communist loving totalitarian socialists are ruining the state. .
I'm amazed at the lack of rock in this 'dozer's path. Then again I am used to see a lot of rock in the soil that I have seen moved around where I live. Good operator,...( seems to be an understatement, doesn't it !_) The person on the camera is doing a pretty fair job of showing us this too! Thanks.
@@kirkpalmer1709 I have both a D7E and a D8H and the D8 is so much bigger than the D7 and the dozer on the 8 is so much bigger than the 7. My old eyes, I guess.
I been running dozers for 25 years plus and I had to look up what a slope board was😂😂😂 I have cut in a bunch of road just like this and this is how I’ve always done it as well, I would sure like to see a slope board used to see the advantages!!!👍 nice old dozer
Finally, a operator that actually knows how to run a dozer.. I watch some of these clowns on RU-vid and I’m constantly asking myself what the hell they could be thinking.. Retired Dirt Hand
what a dandy !!! what kinda computer does it have controlling the engine ? oh a metal throttle rod connected to a boot on the operators leg huh , seems to work well !!! tell me again why we need GODDAM computers running our machine s WTF !!!!!!
That dirt looks like a dream to make roads with. The winch is for beginners incase they tip it to far or logging. I'm guessing but you can set high lead logging with that winch set up or even cable block logs out if steep terrain with that one.
@@dozer1642 That looks like a D7, blade is too small for a D8. I have a D7E 48A and that machine looks almost identical to mine. I also have a D8 and it is much bigger.
this is forestry machine not a mine or construction one as you can see the winch for dragging logs instead of a ripper for breaking hard compacted ground
I was young on a mountain side with d5 in a hurry pushing a path and got on top of a tree. I slid about 30 feet and was too afraid to bring it off the mountain. Sat there for a week while I worked my nerves up
I need a log arch for my D 7 g cat,, to put on rear winch any ideas were I can get one great job every move counts ,, they say a front end loader is fast and dozer slow but dozer does something when it gets there
