Big D11 Bulldozer Digs A BIG Hole!! 

This is why The Jackson Brothers is one of the best channels on YT

I appreciate the video. I especially like that you let the sound of the D11N play, no music or excessive commentary. What an awesome piece of equipment and a great operator.

All i see is two brothers playing with their Tonka toys in the sandpit.

Like how pop’s comes along to see how well he taught his boys to play! Awesome Dad . That was an awesome video Matt & Phil sweet!

Always good when Dad shows up

Great job Phil it’s nice to watch a brilliant operator in action and you didn’t do a bad job on the camera Matt , enjoy your hole cheers guys

I would have to say Phil got a good eye with the d11 very smooth 👍

It's good to see a private operator having a play with the big toys which we don't usually see in the mining videos. And Phil has the experience to get the best work out of the machine by loading the blade just right for a big push. The full load at 12:21 has the Big Girl pumping big iron but at no stage does she ever sound under strain. A beautiful sound.

Didn't appreciate the size of the hole till Phil walked to the bottom of it. Then its OMG that's enormous !!!

What a machine, plus the operator is one of the best, well done Phil .

What a brilliant idea getting Phil to dig a hole in which to bury Brad and Matt’s mistakes!

Well done young Phil...you are a great operator...look forward to the next episode..

Just amazing! Not only did he dig a hole, but he built a mountain also.

I can watch you boys till the cows come home. Don't stop what you are doing. Great stuff

Well done boys, reminds me of a giant dragline in America. It was used to rip the overburden off the top of the coal seam and ran off electricity from the nearby powerstation, when her job was done they buried her in her own hole. There was a crew onboard to run it and another crew to move the extension cable. Tiny still has a job and the grandkids will have fun riding through there till it fills up with water.

Just love watching a D11 work, pushing and ripping. Would love to be the operator for a day or two.

The power of the d11 is impressive

Love it when operator and machine gets together and makes it happen.

On today's fuel prices at 2.20 per and 200 litres of fuel that's $440 for a bit of slap n giggle. In the beginning I was thinking to myself; bet the old man don't know about this; then blow me down he's in on it. Great stuff team.

Hi guys, great to see dad again! This is Australia's newest open cast mine ! Awesome.

Love this and love the sound of the D11

Grew up around heavy equipment (no D11, but big) and dad always said if you’re spinning you ain’t Winning!! Definitely keeping it right at the teeter point! Great video!!

Really enjoy your show Matt. Love to spend time with my friends from down under!

Big boys big toys and you get a big holes. Peter enjoyed it whole experience by the smile on his face.

My cousin's husband was a bulldozer operator with the Royal Australian Engineers in Vietnam and this he told me years ago was the very first thing he did when he was assigned to a job. He go the the S.O. find out what was to be done and where he could bivouac. Digging the hole for the dozer was the first job to project from assaults.

Awesome power and sound. How would this D11N compare to the newer D11 XE in terms of pushing power and material moved?

Well done Phil, that's really impressive, amazing machine,, D11's rule !!!!

That is very impressive how quickly that beast can move a insane amount of material in a very short time 💪🏻⚡️

Great idea for a video, I'll bet you any money you would not get a mining company here in Australia to do this with one of their D11s. I would love to hear the sound of the big V8 with the camera you had mounted on top of the cab ( as on the video...D11 Does a Hill Climb!!) Matt and Phil are a great pair when it comes to D11s...Thanks Boys.

❤ love watching the D11's in action

I love watching any earth moving equipment working, i i would love even more is to drive them , i also love the sound of big diesels, so thanks for NOT putting music in, much appreciated.

That is a truly massive dozer, makes you appreciate the shear size of that thing! Loving the vids watching from Herefordshire U.K 👌

Making the road to the top of the lookout was hair both hair raising and thrilling , Phil is a genius , how does he know the dozer is not going to flip the dozer over backwards , this scares me , I do love watching scrapers combining with dozers to move large volumes of dirt extremely quickly. Would the Jackson brothers ever like to own a scraper? Is Phils hole going to be Lake Phillip , so the kids can have a swimming hole in summer?

It’s crazy how the d11 never really sounds like it’s under a heavy load even when it’s pushing the equivalent of a house

Well done. As a drone pilot for real estate, the tricky thing can be keeping your drone's shadow out of the shot so it will have the magic of being overhead without giving away how you got the shot. Sometimes it just comes down to editing.

Great vid! I dream of running one of these some day... Thanks for posting!

best looking farm rubbish dump I seen in a while, nice going boys

Outstanding! Great education on that fantastic machine and one hell of an operator!Thanks!

Great video and amazing to see the D11's capacity and sheer power and size at display!! I would like to hear more about the D11 comparision to the 42 ton excavator, even if the excavator would take longer time, what would the cost per ton of moved material be?

This is how my brother in law taught me how to operate. Gave me a 943 cat and set ne out in a field and said dig a hole to fit the machine i could drive in and walk from the ground to the cab roof to ground on the other side. The I had to fill the hole back in without extra dirt and it had to be packed down as well . I was 11 back then . Good training

Such soothing music that D11 makes after a long day

From the movie, The Castle. Darryl Kerrigan : Dale dug a hole. Tell 'em Dale. Dale Kerrigan : I dug a hole.

Power beyond belief !! Well done guys !

Brad's going to get a shock if thats his shortcut home from the pub.

Good stuff. I love watching. Thanks

crazy how guys can watch this all day and be completely satisfied

A most excellent idea for a video !

You know when a D11 spins it's tracks with grouser bars that big on them that is under a heck of a load and pushing some tonnage. I'd say Phil was push 120T+ when he was slipping the tracks.

Nothing like big Dozers, can watch this all day

I would like to see them dig a hole like that with renewable energy.

Aussies and Floridians salute in exactly the same way! Got myself into a situation once with a tracked skid steer. I found that the hole I was in ended up steep enough that I could no longer scoop a load of dirt at the bottom and keep it in the bucket while backing out.

the power of that machine is impressive. nice size fire pit for the back yard.

That’s crazy hp and good operating, amazing

This is enjoyable for me to watch!

good to see a bit of fun. nice one. D11 is awesome.

That's amazingly very quick,I love this D 11 👍👏👏👏👏

That engine sounds like thunder!👍

Appreciate the focus on safe and responsible tree removal practices using bulldozers.

Some people never grow out of toys they just grow into bigger ones! Tremendous

Now that is a good sizes rubbish pit! Love your work.

That's awesome. I love this stuff, i could watch this all day. Go deeper next time!!

Hello Matt , I hope You and Phil ran this by Brad and got His permission to dig this hole , You can see where curiosity trait comes from , with Peter lurking in the back ground , all in good fun and scientific endeavor , keep it coming , D11 jumping buses , that would be fun .....

Bloody awesome. Now you should turn it into a figure 8 track and do a little jump over the gap . 👍🏽👍🏽

That was a truly great video!

Great video Matt

Another awesome video guys, from kiwi land. 🎉

Love the sight and sound of the D11 at full song. Thanks all.

Great video thanks for sharing it’s hard to really understand how much dirt is in front of the blade that’s like 3 fully loaded semi trucks in the us

Awesome frickn machine! Sounds more like a locomotive than a dozer! 😮

The girl is a power house . At least that undercarriage look good. I was watching another video earlier of a D11 they were using it as a pusher for pans an the tracks were so thin you could about see thru the steel an no teeth on the Drive . I am a retired heavy equipment mechanic of 54 years . I still love watching all of them work. Thanks

A lot of our juvenile bassalt soils overlay sandy deposits. These are the remnants parts of the inland seas. The so called ‘great divide’ was formed when Australia separated from New Zealand about 60 million years ago so the bottom of the hole might be a bit ancient. When travelling much further west these sandy deposits are often on top of the hills, blown there as sand dunes when the land was very dry during the ice ages. The sand deposits serve to provide a pathway to replenish the great artesian basin (a giant water storage system covering large sections of the eastern Australian continent).

Always amazed at the low revs these dozers run at .

You guys have such a great fun Dad if this hole was really just for fun, my Dad would have yelled at us wasting fuel wearing machine out on and on lol.....now you know how deep and fast anyhow this was fun interesting video men.

Good one guys!

G'day very cool video and nice sub soil looks like decomposed clay.

Good push job there the dirt looks like be good for roads

Best hole I have seen dug in the shortest time.

You guys are a true HOOT!!! 2 👍 👍up from the states🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

what a beast the sound 😀

Great machine, great driver!

Good job guys

Can you get Peter to give us some history of the farm and some of the old houses and buildings we see in the background every now and then. Cheers.

I bet brad would do it faster. But then the d11 would be in pieces. Keep the entertaining videos coming. Us farmers in New York love it

I read in an earthmovers magazine about a D11R that slot dozed 1 million tonnes of sand and gravel a year one operator working 8hrs a day. I recon you guys wouldn’t be far short of that 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

cool show fellers,new scriber here,happy new year from north carolina,USA...keep up the good work

This is awesome cool😊

Very good Video 👍👍

Matt, Are used to have a little John Deere with a set of rippers. Never thought about this. Could you flip the rippers facing backwards and rip when you going backwards? Or would that put too much load on your track tensioner? Would be more efficient, but may not be good for the machine.

Fantastic! It's great to see a D11 in it's element. Thanks for this video Gentlemen, but of course I have to ask, ... now what?

Yes Matt it nice to see a true operator in Phil , someone who actually uses the rippers nog like the pretend American operators who just push. They need to go back and use s cable dozer to learn to dig. Keep the tacks on full contact for power!

Loved this video!! These are simply beasts!! One question: What does the N stand for when it says D11N?

Great job guys well done 🦘

Great video. Crushing buses would fantastic.

great video

Awesome . You guys know how to dig in the dirt.

Thank you! I always wanted to know how it would look like when a D10 or D11 just starts digging from 0 and how far and deep he will get. With new tracks for better traction and like 200hp more from a newer engine, he would for sure plow much quicker and deeper! Now I'm questioning how long it would take to do this for a distance of 100m (330ft) and how big the ramp of overburden would be. Thanks for the video and have fun!

good job man 👍👍

The 3508 is running clean as a whistle,working hard .

Dad..... Dale dug a hole. On a serious note, that's awesome

100% boys and their toys moment here. I mean who wouldn't if you had a D11 😂
