Im a dozer man .... i love grading and just pushing dirt when i can .... i dont have to deal with people just push dirt and listen to the tracks click ..... makes all the stress just melt away
We had to dig up a septic system on 20 year old house. The dirt from the basement was put in front and side yard when the house was built. There was 6 inches of black dirt on top of the clay. 6 inches of lawn mower clipping over 20 years. And leaf mulching in fall. We were amazed. Then I did some checking and some places in the prairey states top soil is 8 and 10 feet deep. Trivia. You do things right bud. You will have all the work you can handle. Good for you ,,, pride in your work....
I never wondered I knew what you were doing my Grandpa had a Case caterpillar tractor with a loader and 2 manure buckets one he modified with a push blade and one he made bigger. I never realized the danger he put himself in riding the crest of dirt piles knocking them down, he had no roll cage it was open top but the center of gravity was very low and I never saw him get close to tipping it. He used to drive the cat up the side of a tree and use its traction and weight to topple the tree pushing it with his blade as he went, sometimes stalling the engine ,but when the tree was down he'd back up ,stop ,cut the tree off at the stump and drag it out with a heavy chain, usually three trees at a time. He did this to remove any tree that could reach any one of his five cabins during a storm, he owned Rustan Resort and he was a consummate professional. He bought the property, fifty acres with 720 feet of lake shore back in 1947, I'd tell you the whole story but I don't have time right now. I'd like to see if you could push a tree over with that baby Komatsu, nice dozer. You'd look right at home knocking down an entire forest on a 65 ton Komatsu, but then what would the 220 have to do.
Chris that’s One of the many things you do well. You look a head and take care of the equipment. You’re also very efficient about how you go about doing your work.
This video should be a special treat to those who love the dozer footage... like me. And you did your best to make me nervous again while driving the dozer when you were on the pile of dirt. I know you know what you're doing and you're safe, but to a construction noob like me that's never been in a dozer, it freaks me out seeing you grade pond dams on steep angles and climb up on narrow hills of dirt in the dozer, lol. Anyway, site is 100x more usable than before. It'll make great pasture once the farmer gets grass planted.
Hell yeah, a lot of fill went in that one....lolol... Man , there sure was a bunch of rock that went there !! Turned out nice Chris, That's awesome that the Farmer can do something with it now.... Great as always !! Have a Great Evening !! On too the Next...
Great job on the reclamation. Taking it from a non useable surface to golf course status with just a few passes of the mighty blade. Another finished job for the LD18 nation!
You did an outstanding job to make this project complete. How many acres of farmland did you create? Good thing you had large area to dispose of all the removed overburden. This completion has to feel very good. This was a long drawn out project of unpredictability. Proves how important rock removal clauses are to protect the company in a contract.
My apologizes, when I first read this comment (and I have been drinking) I thought you said government improvement. Sorry for my mistake. I hope you are doing well.
actually, there should be no garbage dump sites. Either they recycle the garbage or they burn the whole crap. Dump-sites are in 3rd world nations like Dshibuti, full of crows and poor people looking for things they can turn into cash. So hopefully they can turn it into a vegetable garden.
I have to admit when you first climbed up on those dirt piles, I puckered a little, well, actually a lot!! And continued to do so when you threw it in reverse the first time too! And then I thought... Dang, he's Good!!
Its so satisfying to watch the earths surface sculpted and smoothed. Taking a bunch of crap no one wants and using it to make an unusable piece of land usable again.
Really enjoyed watching and listening.... Top class ground work.... Always amazes me how so many Muppets watch your videos just to thumb it down ..... Doctors cant fix stupid ....lol
That dozer work on top of the pile was soothing. I love all the equipment, but if I could push loose dirt or some kind of easy material ( No Big Rocks), that would be my jazz. I think.
yay, we have full closure on the animal hospital job. With the dump site prep and maintenance having been a big part of the animal hospital job without seeing these finishing fill and grading bits it just didn't feel complete.
I'd be out there with an old set of spring tooth drags, smooth it out, broadcast on a batch of mixed grass seeds with rye, oats, fescue, bluegrass and run over that with the drag to cover it. Then roll it and water it to get it growing.
Hey Chris thanks for the explanation, I was wondering why you climbed that mound of dirt and took the top 4 feet off. The dump site looks much better now, that was a lot of dirt and rock you dug out and buried.😀👍🇦🇺
WARNING! Do not drive dozer onto mountain of dirt to spread-out unless you're Chris! Am I the only one a little scared toppling-over might be a consideration? YIKES!!!! Way to go, letsdig18!
You wont tip over because the dirt you are blading off creates a wider area for the dozer to track over....plus you will slide sideways before you will roll :-)
Big job tied to another is finally done. Bet your sick of rock, and ready to get back to the mud.Love the videos, don't know why but I find them very relaxing. I got to play with a brand new Yanmar vi17 I think it was. Put 33 hours on it in three days. Had a blast. You have a great job. Shows that you enjoy it in most of the videos. Stay safe.
But it ain't you ya silly bastard and he was just spreading them loasa down not final and no the customer doesn't want it perfectly flat. Looks to me to be some jealousy coming out here my friend
@@doggettsoldironrodscustoms9376 what the hell!!! it's joke. You need a sense of humor. It's not jealousy it was a compliment to him on how good he is at what he does
I have always liked running a dozers. People who have never done it think it must be a boring brain numbing job, but if you always try to do the best job you can, it is challenging.
Can that Komatsu pull a large gang of discs behind it? leaving some furrows pointed the right way would probably stop some of that rutting and give you water to start naturally compacting the deeper layers of that field.
Hi Chris, I noticed that at the end of some pushes that you give the blade a shake , I don't think I have seen that with your doser is that a control sensitivity thing or maybe I'm just missing it . Anyway always enjoy and appreciate your posts ! Stay safe and happy 👌. 🇨🇦 Craig
here i am watching again and wishing i had an excavator and a skid steer. my ponds have 8 feet of silt in them and the ground around them is like a swamp. if only the dirt in the ponds was around the ponds i would be a happy fisherman.
Starting to get used to the 'two day combined videos'. Nice job of walking the ridge with the dozer to cut down the pile line. I would have not made the title of this "The Dump Site",,,,there was NO trash, [Recieving site for excess material.] That land owner will be pleased with the increase of workable pasture area - looks like 8 acres improved.
I thought you Were gonna fall off that dirt pile there.ya nice Flat And ready To be reseeded for a New field.nobody will ever know about the Rocks under the ground 🤣. Have a nice day😀
Was it only me or did anyone else day, I think I can I think I can, when Chris was getting on top of that dirt pile? Lol. I was afraid for you brother!
Me- going on top of that pile seemed pretty pointless...im sure there's a reason for it. Chris- you may be wondering....... Me- 🤦♂️ the smallest things make the most sense......
