If you're going to spend $980k on a dozer...and you're going to either watch it rust or a $80k paint job... I'd bring it home with some new lipstick...
HALON747 She looked bad ass with the pewter grey look. ' hi H... who is a word - she -... where is she now... what her name and do have a picture of her
Thank you so much for giving me a chance to take down the video myself. Wishing your company ever more development and great success! Best wish for you!
I bet the power washing business is huge in the oil patch. I would kill for a wash bay like yours, my shop isn't even that big lol. Keep up the good work and have a good year!
Massive rigs, I'm a welder for a manufacturing shop in Edmonton Alberta and have welded on many of the blades for these beasts.If there's a WBM badge on the side, pretty good chance I may have even welded on that very blade.
Im a machinist, and i work on making various wear plates for machines, that is when we get an order of them, they are usually quard500 or hardox500 its pretty much the same thing, but man is it a bitch to work with!
First type of work I did coming out of the military was this exact thing for a company called Dallas equipment, some of the machines we’d get in were in horrible shape, we’d rebuild them, wash, sandblast and paint them, redo the cabs, and they’d be like new where they rolled out
Wow they sure work hard, they work like ants.... Must have had lots of really strong coffee (O.O) Sure looks good with a bit of paint..... Thanks for sharing the video.... Nice paint shop . That D11 can bury the NDP really deep so they will never come back ! ! !
Work hard? Are you high? Didnt even get the proper treatment! Shouldve been stripped to nothing and done properly! And charge more with a fresh full ground up rebuild
Company I worked for, sold a used freightliner Columbia, was sent up about 2 weeks later because the brake would not release. Started truck up and heard an air leak. The entire body was painted and the air tanks were completely rusted out with holes in them both.
I wonder how deeply a D11's blade would dig into a 6x6 beam just from setting it down on it like that? (Or is that an 8 x 8?) And if you pushed down on it, would it cut right through the piece of wood? A wooden beam is pretty tough, but a D11 is heavy as hell, and we're talking shear force, not compression. I think...or is it a little of both?
Wonder what's up with the one guy sitting alone on the far side from 3:16 to 3:22. Having a late lunch? Waiting for his ride to come? Starting the night shift and getting ready to clock in?
Painting that blade on the front... looks good. Beyond that... is just a waste of primer/ paint since that being the active part of the machine will just go away in the first hour of operation...
I'd hate to be looking out those windows after that blast job!!! I noticed they didn't cover the windows during the sandblast! Otherwise, not too shabby guys, looks good 👍
It is sand blasting! We use garnet as our blasting media and before we do anything on a piece of equipment, we tape off anything that could be damaged! No damage done when we sandblast :)
@@Chrisped11 Maybe some form of steel not used pipelining, when we sandblast the welds they're pretty damn reflective not dull like this. I've been a coating/blasting Foreman for 12 years now. I know a thing or two about sand blasting (we use black beauty media, medium for the most part haven't used sand much at all)
Certainly no expert on sand/media blasting, but most has come out as a darker grey matte finish. Have used anything from Aluminum Oxide to walnut. Could also be shit lighting. Makes sense it was blasting because they moved it to the paint shop then primed a lighter colour.
You're absolutely right! We had these Cat rock trucks in the shop last week....our paint bay doors are 25 feet tall and those things were right at the top! You can't understand how big they are until you see them in person. Thanks for watching!!
Is it possible you could help me with my truck? I really need help. Something to bring my three daughters around as I go to work and try to make it there today. I’m not looking for a handout, I can pay it back just wanna know how you can help me with my transportation as I am pretty ignorant when it comes to that. I just want to help my family. I just wanna work. God bless and stay safe
Lipstick and mascara on a pig ! I've heard about these liquid overhauls , have a cousin in the oil fields in Alberta , told me how the big over worked machines get sent out for fresh paint and auctioned out for some poor sap to overpay for a worn out machine . Some companies don't think maintence is high on the scale, if it's not running it's costing money , and digging into Profits !
You probably have to pay 30% again as much for "Caterpillar Yellow", especially if it has the logo on it. It's a trademarked color, after all. I'd paint it generic yellow before I screwed around with that. Although I doubt anything with "John Deere" on it is a lot cheaper! Both make more money off of their damn brand identities than anything else. All these people convinced that somehow a Cat or Deere is somehow infinitely better than the "junk" made elsewhere. Even admitting that a Cat or Deere is often a better machine (not that I'm even admitting that) it doesn't make the other machine "junk" and it doesn't somehow turn the Cat into some flawless super machine that can run rings around others. It's like the Ford vs Chevy thing; even if a Chevy IS better than a Ford it doesn't mean it's TWICE as good. It cant' haul twice the payload, it doesn't have twice the performance, etc. Even IF a Ford had "twice the failures" of a Chevy, that doesn't translate into a huge difference in everyday driveability or profitability. Same is true with machines; people just like to choose "their" brands and bash everything else. and Cat and JD are only two of the brands notorious for this annoying behavior. But I've gotten off track.
Have you ever been to Vermont? I have lived here my whole life, and I've rarely seen it look like that, winter or summer. Why would you say "Vermont" as if winters looked any different here than elsewhere? In fact we haven't gotten shit for winter the last 3-4 years. A few moderate snow storms (that look nothing like this), a bit of snow (more this year than the last two). 25deg weather. Not real blizzards like the Northwest or parts of Canada or Alaska get. We get fog sometimes, but it's more common in the summer.
BarnStangz yoou can buy kubota orange at tractor supply company, it's not expensive and is easy to put on, plus they sell the cans of it too. Kubota blue is a totally different story...

kubotas website sells the blue if not find a dealer theyll send it if you pay
Not airless sprayers! For sandblasting and painting, we actually have 3 Atlas Copco running at 161HP each and 2 large receiver tanksfor air storage to feed 2-6 cube blast pots. with these compressors we can run both pots and feed the whole shop including the painters at the same time and not have a pressure drop in the system. Thanks for your comment!
I was just wondering why the cab is always in the back. Wouldn't visibility be better forward? I don't do heavy equipment, just curious. Or is it like red fire trucks are better than yellow?
wcresponder I suspect it has to do with the engine bay, and the design. Moving the cab forward would, A) limit the space for the mechanics, B) make the floor of the cab hot as hell, and C) possibly affect the layout and efficiency of the hydraulics, gas lines, etc. Another thing to mention is having the cab towards the rear improves the safety of the operator. I'm sure I'm missing some things, as I'm not an expert.
