The CD version of the D11R can push around 30-40 cubic metres, where as the CD version with a Coal Blade can push around 80 cubic metres. Coal Blade is around 8 metres wide and over 4 metres high, you need GPS to drive it as you cant see over the blade.
Yes Super this Caterpillar's biggest bulldozer.The D11 has been the largest since it was introduced in early 1986.THis is the D11R.The new D11T was shown to the mining public in Las Vegas back on 9/22-24.
@eastcoastcatskinner No, Westray was an underground mine that blew up and killed 26 miners. It's the same seam of coal and is about a mile away from where the Westray mine was.
You had a cab??? That's more than I had when I started. It's humbling to chat with a true American legend, especially as no-one else has ever mended their own machine. Just out of curiosity, which machine had the 8-foot levers?
@haidabrave So you fill the blade and lift up to carry the load? So you push the blade into the ground until you have a load and pull it up and carry it? Just wondering, and ive seen that smaller dozers and push 2 inches the whole way while ive seen some larger dozers in real life push the blade down and pull back up and go dump it somewhere.
I did i'm now virtually a cripple.hips wrecked and neck locked up from seven years rear view while ripping.go to diggerland for the day and just enjoy your health with what you do now.
There has been a rumor of a D12 for it least 15 years.Last time heard on the internet there was posssibly one in West Virginia.But that one coul dbe gone by now.
@icemanj12 Try doing tracking repair on them! A full rebuild takes 12 or more hours, if just one pin is seized it takes 6 hours just to remove 3 pins and replaces one! BTW the cat 797 is the boss!!! And building them is fun :D
@iamjackdaw2 Actually rolling dirt off your blade carries less and is a waste of machine. This operator has the blade in the proper carry position for slot dozing, they call it "carry position" because you CARRY THE DIRT. He'd pick up a little time flattening out his slot rather than trying to constantly load the blade (resulting in a dip and pushing uphill).
the komatsu will outpush the D11 easily, but the Cat dozer are a better dozer all round, the bogey on the Komatsu are rough and they use way more fuel then the Cat. Cat is more reliable Id say, but can't compare with the Komatsu in sheer pushing power.
@deerhunter217 wish my highschool wouldve been more like that......our ADVANCED autoshop is about as close as they got to machines and that was simple maintenence stuff like ball joints and crap that i already knew before even getting to highschool!
1066D. When you work beside a MAN on an equal-sized Cat excavator, you'll find that you won't have a lot to brag about. Some guys reading this are real operators and those guys know hot air when it blows over them.
Call me crazy, but I'll be dollars to donuts that not ONE of you last three commenters are operators. Or if you are, you don't have much time in the cab. And by the way, we are not called 'drivers'. That machine was not 'struggling' as much as it may appear to y'all.
A D11R is a carry dozer, load the blade and raise slightly and carry the load to where ever, if i was the owner of that machine id have him turfed off it right now, all the wear and tear on the undercarriage loading up the power train when you don;t have to and wearing out the GET. (GROUND ENGAGING TOOLS) .
I'm with you there, bro, but you missed out the most important - don't believe everything you read on RU-vid. When do we get to see a vid of you working? I'm sure it'll be an education for all of us.
