Yeah I always say like a blind person see`s through their finger tips , whether your walking out on a swamp edge of a hillside or driving a loaded truck into a roundabout . You drive it by the seat of your pants, do it for long enough & buy reading the ground in front , it`s well worth the perseverance .So you`er right he dose have a good feel for grade.
When you’re 10-20 jobs behind because of rain it’s sorta hard to do it fast and consistently. He’s going at a pretty slow pace. Very fine mineral too. Dump truck placement pays a big factor too, some don’t like to think before they dump
Very nicely done video. I look forward to seeing many more like this. As far as the operation of the dozer, new operators (or want to be operators) can learn a lot from watching the techniques employed by this operator. Well done!
the old feather backdrag trick, put one edge in the ground and keep your other an inch or 2 in the air, pay attention noobs, this is an easy way to get a clean wind-row free grade
nice work but let's not forget what he's grading plus the size dozer he's using. that's a toy. that's fine for that type of material but questing is can he grade to different grades. can he finish? Grading and finishing are two different animals.
Jordan Houston I know, I got subbed out to a couple of companies yrs back, I'd cut and rough in with a grade man in front, doing roads there fuzzy, I'd get damn close, I'd finish off with a 12G blade, got where I could cut the blue paint off the hubs they'd set for final grade
