My father had a TD-24 with a cable blade back in the 1970's. I operated it for about 6 months when we prepared the building site for a new mall. Ours had the planetary steering that you could operate with a couple fingers. When the steering levers were forward, both tracks were in high range, and if you pulled one or both back a notch, it would slow that track, That made it easy to make smooth turns. It started the 1091 cu. in. engine on gas, and after a minute or so warmup, switched over to diesel. It was a real dirt pushing beast with it's 11 foot wide blade.
We had an IHC crawler with over 35000hrs on it ,very reliable.Very sad to see what happened to such a great company in 1984.Thank you very much for posting this video.

While it was only ONE tree, I still have memories about 45 years ago sitting beside my dad on his own TD24... showing me how easy it was to shear off a tree with it! Also, he and a friend pulling out the official IH wrench that was taller than me, used to tighten the treads.
man those were some beasts. wish I could have experienced this in real time. the pure "dgaf" attitude of just plowing straight into multiple trees at once, without stopping, is awesome.
It’s crazy that there weren’t chainsaws at this time so a couple men had to cut each tree with an axe. One swings and pulls back and the other swings and pulls back every couple seconds. The farm tractor with the loader is rare today. The international KB and R series trucks are very cool
love this is the type of Australia I have always liked the time when we could do anything great to see those red machines got any other films like this for IH gear

Notice that wood has had a fire through those big trees at some stage,i fell hardwood after the big fires in East Gippsland after the big fires,not nice cutting.
@@dave4854 let us be accurate, while what you're saying is true to some extent, many of these men were indentured migrant labour and had little choice but to take up jobs that plenty of Australians would not. They were housed in camps - many converted internment camps from WW2 - and assigned to projects for a specified period of time before they were allowed to move freely.
Regenerative agriculture will bring this back for genorashons down the line if we support it Will it take a long time and a few big dozers to stop the eroshon caused by this distructon
Looking back, they probably shouldn't have altered the jungle, the agricultural production that resulted really wasn't needed, the Australian continent could have provided all that was grown in Tasmania without the destruction required in this endeavor.
I agree, but you have to remember that virtually NO one saw the value of preserving such places in those days. Odds are, if you had been the age you are right now, but back then, you wouldn't have cared either. Sadly, or happily, depending on the situation, people are products of their times.
@@ericl2969 Unfortunately your right about that . It's really too bad. The damage is done now. Just look at our weather patterns.They are changing drastically. I'm sure draining a rain forest contributed to it some way.
