my dad always said it's only a dodgy repair if it doesn't work. If it does work, he called it genius. I think that applies here Matt. No one could accuse your family of not giving it a go anyway.
To succeed in farming you need people on farm with many skills for things to progress on a daily basis without having to wait for outside help all the time. You are all doing a great job. 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
There’s a word I learnt back in the 80s extemporise means to improvise we had to make our own distributor for a mark 3 international as a part of an exercise, it really opened our eyes up to what can be done with what you have at hand , you people do that day in day out , love watching your vlog it is fantastic thank you
Very interesting stuff watching how you do all the dozer change over. Good tip on the soldering as well and a great repair on the bushes. Top video Matt.
Big hydraulic press. Have you any spare cylinders of the big cats. Ripper, blade, tilt cylinders. Build a frame to support them. Fittings to hook to your power pack and you are ready to press. Or call cutting edge engineering to see if they have any big rod and a partial barrel with good finish still. Weld a square end plate on. And make up a Gland and piston. Again using your power pack.
Some days I loved being a diesel mechanic other days i hated it...but no matter what I always loved working on the big gear...great instalment as always matt
Hi Matt I like your work, had to smile to myself the other day when your old man said” he used to be king pin, now he’s on the bottom of the ladder and the dogs piddle on his leg”. Nice country out there we used to be up around Kingaroy area. Peanuts, pigs, cattle and a bit of lucern.
Well done Matt and family! The thing I really respect about you guys is your fearless ability to do work on machines you have little experience of, as if you are pros with 20 years experience. Well done 💕
Sure hope you guys get a chance to run all three dozers side by side that would be totally awesome especially the way you fly that drone have a good day thank you for the video 🚜😎
Really enjoy these segemnts. I was in the Bellata area in the 70s when the big tractors were two Fiats joined nose to tail. I recognise the ranges in the east so assume you are somewhere west of the highway. Love that country.
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………..kinda sad. I started watching y’all’s channel because of the D11’s, sad to see one go. I stayed because you make interesting and informative videos. Can’t wait to see what’s going to be happening next!!
The sooner they make all that GPS stuff wireless, the better I reckon ! and who would have thought you could get a bloke under the floor, I never operated anything bigger than a D8 so that was a supprise . to me .
Hi guys, brilliant content again. Must be a pain in a bum holding the camera and also trying to work on tiny two and tiny three and a lot of hard graft and that GPS system. What a nightmare pulling wires out and swapping them over?
Hi Mat there is never a dull moment on the farm must be a jack of all trades the amount of hours you blokes put in is Amaizing nice to Family working in harmony love the D 11 love to own me to annoy my neighbours be fun any way I have real good people next to me stay safe keep Farming. Cheers👍👍👍💪💪💪😀❤️😎🐝🐝🦘🦘🦘🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
watching some of your older videos and am wondering what is "pickle chaining"? I found "Kelly chains" on the internet but cannot find pickle chain. Don't think we have them on Kansas farms!
its a bit strange that cat can design a hydraulic component to operate the blade and rippers but they cant design a hydraulic track tensioner , love your work Matt
I can't believe you can haul a D11 on a truck with out disassembly. I know the ROPS is off for height but still that my quick search said it weighs 205,000 lbs.
mechanic most of my life but never heavy equipment... so for a cool million +, you get 2 engines, 250,000lbs of monster machine... sounds like a locomotive when it starts pulling
Will Tiny 3 be renamed into Tiny 2 or stay Tiny 3, together with Tiny 1? With all this big machinery you're living my dream. I know it's a lot of work and not just playing in the dirt all day, but I bet a D11 doesn't get boring. Also, for some reason you didn't seem too concerned about someone just walking in and walking off with the ripper shanks you had stuck in the ground like that 😂
