The Evolving Kings: Cat Dozers D1-D11  

😅😅😅😅😮😊

Stop using AI. Dude just fucking stop

Respect for the fantastic experience you have. Someone can only dream of getting a hand on this dozer.

I've worked on just about every model of cat as a diesel mechanic. Did you ever run any of the cable blades, before hydraulics? Or was that before your time? I'm fixing to retire soon myself. The body is worn out,and Its difficult to do things nowadays.

​@johnnywad7728 one of the guys i work with at the mine has an old cable hoist blade dozer. I'm fairly certain it's a 6, but i don't recall for sure.

Spent a lot of time building access roads for high lines in an 8T with a cage. Those were some fun times.

Don't retire, come run my cable machine once in a while. We'll retire around the same time that Willie Nelson does.

That's right 👍

D355A for those reasonable men doing unreasonable things

Fantastic machine 👍

That's right, the size meters

Nīce one, I wish you luck to get those numbers 🙏

Who knows, maybe one day we will see it in real life🙂

Wow, lucky you; thanks for sharing good memories 👍

I love them, too👍

You are lucky to get used to them

That's good memories, and thanks for sharing with us🙏

@@machinemasters79 let’s get this channel pumping!

Yes nice machine 👍

Wow, congratulations! Excellent job, well done 💪

I am glad that you like 👍

Nice one; I remember when I was a young boy and went to the countryside to meet my grandfather, and Hi, let me drive a tractor. I was excited

Most of those who work on them think like you 👍

I agree that eco-friendly systems are out of order many times, but I think engines today are very eco-friendly if you compare 1950-made engines

Sorry, my voice is the worst 😉

​@@machinemasters79- Who told you that? Some "Artificial" Intelligence? 🤔🧐😡

@@robertweekley5926 I try, and the sounds I think are not right

Most of the people said that, I think that is true 👉

You have significant experience using these machines, and if you like them, that means they are great dozers

You lucky one, last month I saw D6

Lucky 🍀 men, if I would like to see them in real life D 11t, I need to travel to find them around the world because such a big machine is not near me🙂

Coal mining is a complex and dirty job

It sounds like a Rolex watch, spot-on👍

Wish I owned a cat. The only cat I have just begs for food and scratch’s my leg

@@LuisMartins_Rc_Excavations I love these excellent machines, too 🙂

@@machinemasters79 I have them on RC as I love machines and everything about them

It's a pretty big one 🙂

Do you prefer new models to our old ones?

Many said that, too 👍

No way it's D1😀

It's a D1, says so right on the machine.

Wide pads.. 😎

What about impressions? Is good dozer

Giant dozers I like more but small ones are useful for smaller jobs

They are working horses😊

That's proper bulldozers do an excellent job for us

🙏❤️❤️❤️💪💪💪

I am not to get any money, but maybe someday 👍

Nice one; I like the collection, too; it's fantastic to keep them all together 😊

Excellent experience, and yeah, D2 will be great for 35 acres👍

Yes, in old times you did not have problems at all, now you have machines built full of computers and their problems are stsrted🙂

It made a small bulldozer capable of doing many jobs👍

If I win the lotto, I give you each of them 🙂

My be scraper will survive

Here we go: Electrical Malfunctions, the Dozer Won't Move Forward or Backward, Track Movement Issues, Heavy Main Clutch Lever, The Main Clutch Slips, Broken Shafts & Linkages, Oil Leakage, Worn Cylinder Seals, and Cylinder Pins; these all are topical dozer issues ⚠️

YOU are right now only D11 👍

Possibly will be the biggest one🙂

I think you are right, but there is a slight chance that they will build D-12

Excellent 👍

Maybe for a temporary small road building

That's a big dozer anyway; you are Lucky to👍

@@machinemasters79yea it was very intimidating at first

Tears at good filings our bad?

@@machinemasters79 automated voice read it as tears 😭, not tears

سيكون، وسأحاول وشكرا جزيلا لك

Of course 😂

Agree 👍

That's tragic, but I think they have D9, and I hope the peace ✌️ come very soon

Its good when something fails warranty time because after you pay your own money

You know we sent a man to the moon 🙂

Most people said the old school is better built with real steel

D11 cost more. I'll give you a Ferrari 😂

​​@@machinemasters79 it's no about the cost. I don't need shiny shit give me a D11 to work, braddah!!! 😂

Someone likes some not, but what you think they do it the job for what they are made

All medium and big ones, nice ones every dude dream who loves dozers

What I don't know I check Mother Google🙂

You will get definitely 👍

All-around is fantastic peace of steel 👍

I think D69 that's it's from old age because it was not a comma that separated 6 and 9 🙂

Yes, collect them like a superb watch collection 🙂

According to sources, there are no plans to build D12

Yes, I see operating in a small field

And what can you say about both machines?

Maybe later will be🙂

Oh, that's true, it's like cars each generation get bigger and bigger 🙂

Esatto, solo il D11 è prodotto e funzionante, mentre l'Acco è in un museo e non è mai stato messo in funzione a causa delle sanzioni 👍

But D 12, originally from a caterpillar manufacturer, does not exist

@@machinemasters79 ok ok a d11 that was modified in Australia.

That's called progress, but yes, killing underground is not a good feeling, but that's life

Maybe in future 🙂

No way 😊

Yes, but his not anymore on the production line at Komatsu

@@user-xq8bw2om5w piece of junk,only a few left,reliability problems,extremely high maintenance costs,lots of downtime

It's magic 😊

Maybe one day we will see D12🙂

We do have a D12 in Australia 🇦🇺

@@blakebloom9108 cat had never made a d12 You have a modified D11. It transpires that Queensland based Mearns Hire, who were established in 1965, have modified four of their Cat D11 models for their work which involves blade ploughing outback hardpan, cutting the roots off scrub, and re-seeding. To enable this, they take a D11R or N model, remove the standard 850hp (V8) engine, stretch out the chassis, making it longer to give them the extra space to shoe horn in a Cat 3512 (V12) engine taken from a giant Cat 785 dump truck. This configuration bumps the power up to an impressive 1250hp. The same D11 transmission is used, but they utilise the trucks torque converter and lock up clutch arrangement. They use the standard radiator for coolant, but install a secondary transmission oil cooler which is mounted up on top of the ROPS frame, it looks a bit odd, but it is necessary as they tend to run this beast in 2nd gear all day pulling the 10m wide blade plough.

I will get a dozer and try to make some short film for fun 😊

✌️😎😎😎

What can you say about Cat D6? Is it an excellent machine?

@@machinemasters79 stayed on top of Maintenance and it was GTG. Open cab so it miserable in the winter and summer here in Central TX!

It looks like robots will work for us soon.

Some people in Australia made something to call D12

Thanks for opinion 👍

Which dozer model do you use by self?

@@machinemasters79 we use a 7lgp when do do forestry clean up

You are correct 🫣

Very soon, there will be a fully developed electric one

Will is not really on the production line yet👍

I know in Europe they operate in forests in road construction

@@machinemasters79 I build logging roads in the mountains of bc Canada

@@jessewhite1759 Have the dozer done the job well?

All is correct 👍

Komatsu ALL around are better dozers. The integrated GPS maxtrax it don't get better.

Most important is the effectiveness and reliability of these machines

Where do you get that one

Thought expressions 🙂

Some are very old, but some are still in working order, It is time for new ones but we can't forget older ones to

Hi, It's not officially on production Lin yet, but who knows 🙂

Cat never made a D12

​@@craigmandall9420 Mearns Hire did tho 😂

You lucky ones 😊

​@Newholland1982he drove it. Seriously.

@Newholland1982 farmers drive tractors. What a conundrum you just experienced reading that. What now?

@Newholland1982 lol I love how you evade my point by ignoring it. I'm retired. And I worked construction. I'm fully aware we call them operators. However operators are still driving the equipment And my point was absolutely valid. I grew up farming. Before. I worked construction.... Tractors are absolutely heavy machinery and farmers drive tractors.

@Newholland1982, I operate Havie equipment only when I have holidays or weekends, but I do not work on them full-time.

Komatsu d475a-8 is only a little bit bigger than Cat D11T, bouth are very close

We do not have a real D12 dozer yet

Sorry for the voice. mybe after a hundred hours of training, my voice will be okay

I agree. There are too many electronic sensors. It's already the case that old cars drive and drive, but new ones are useless. The materials chosen for the engine are untested and last a short time.
