I’ve run a 475 and I have run a D11 cat in rock in dirt in mud and I stil prefer the high track cat because of the ride especially in rock. All those roller bogies are rubber padded and with the final drive up high you get less shock and vibration on the operator and the tracks don’t load up as much in mud . I’ve been an operator for 40 years now . Got in the operating engineers union in 1976 started on scrapers then tamper cats then slope cats then pioneer cats and loved that most . Busting in haul roads to the top of 300 foot cuts busting in down ramps for scrapers off those 300 foot cuts . Moved millions of yards out here in Southern California back in the day . I got one of the first 9L high track dozers in California. Before that we were running D9G and D9H dozers
Awesome thank you for all the hard work. People have no idea how hard it is to build everything around them. I also really like the CAT equipment great machinery.
yes the d475 is large by every dimension than d11...still d11 can hold a large blade with less fuel consumption than d475. technologically the cat d11 ahead of dozers
I'm so used to seeing large CAT dozers that this one looks a bit odd without the high-mount drive axle. 'Flat' treads like this mean a 'small' dozer in my mind, but that one is certainly not small.

Yea some weapon if a machine!! Would have like to seen the transport of her 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻⚖️ hope the driver calendar his tracks at end of shift of that abrasive sand 🤷🏼♂️
@@mreyepop1134 Not in production anymore, last was be in 2012 or so. D475 is currently biggest dozer in the world(what in production) slightly larger than d11
Ive run them both man. Komatsu is garbage. Only one id give a chance too is that px 71. Hydrostatic drive. But CAT has them all beat to shit. 9 out of 10 operators will say the same thing which speaks volumes in itself.
