After ripping the rock hard gravel the Liebherr PR776 can be seen here pushing this material over the edge of the quarry were a wheel loader puts it on a crusher and conveyor system.
I worked at Rock Quarry few years right after high school. Sure was fun! getting Paid to play in the sand box with Big Boy toys. Course back it late 60s D9 was the monster which the quarry only had couple. I ran D7 17A cable dozer for while topping stock piles and clearing out drainage ditches, wasn't there lone enough to work up to the Big boy.
a lot of people wouldnt appreciate the shear volume and tonnage of material this is actually pushing along. given it looks to have a clay content to it and anyone who has worked with clay knows just how heavy and crappy it is will understand this is a beasty machine
I think the tracks are not tight enough, in reverse the pins and bushing are trying to climb the sprocket teeth, or maybe that is something unique to the high sprocket drive. Never did like the way the track on a high drive jumps around anyway.
Sorry to be offtopic but does anybody know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can give me.
@Alexzander Colten I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Haaa, I didn't know they built engines too, that's a first for me. I guess it's better to keep it in the family, more control over the build quality(just my thoughts). Much appreciated, thanks.
I know what kind of material that it’s pushing, I worked in this kind of material a lot and it can be difficult at times specially if it’s wet, but if it’s on the dryer side then a good operator should blow through this with no problem. I have noticed one about this Dozer it has very small skinny tracks on it . Now that’s just my opinion, and besides just look at what he is trying to push , it’s not like he pushing a mountain at a time.!!?
He is being inefficient. Just as the blade is getting full the cut is getting flatter and the dozer can't push as much then it breaks over with a light load. Cut the close stuff first and keep the weight of the dozer working for you instead of against. Why push on a curve?
He already cut the material where the bench flattens out. He's no longer cutting the bench deeper, so he carries the material he has cut from behind across the bench to the edge.
rough as guts,i dont like his back ramp too uneven,which means dont back up the ramp unless your squared up or you will slip down ,sideways.tractor looks ok,never been in one,Caterpillar,Komatsu thats all.
