Was slot pushing up at Paraburdoo, Western Australia in a Komatsu 475, moved Alot of dirt, really enjoyed it💯

Looks like thee amount of a truck n pup in that "pick up blade"? I thought thats what you called it. But all that material looks so soft almost like puffy sand, which would be the oppisite of what we have here in San Diego. Most of the time we have to make many passes with 2 rippers, the material here is all mixed in, sometimes gouging out 12" minus rock... I hate it. Haven't been on the 11 in 7yrs but I can't forget how much experience and strain I was given those times. Miss to love...to hate it. By the way, is that Aussi material there where you are filming...??

You don't know what you're talking about if you can't explain it to a 6 year. It's a pleasure to see these videos. 😎🤙

You ain’t moving dirt till you got some windrows

This is honestly the best teaching video out there no bs no wasted time and great real advice. Hope to see more soon man

Great job describing the technique. I usually make my first pass back to front just to establish the orientation of all the slots in the work area. And then slot dose Front to Back. Cutting down hill to so I have gravity assisting in cutting the hard material. Ones I have a blade full in the slot a lot of times you can push in 2nd gear because you’re not cutting but you still have a full blade.

I used to do a lot of overburden stripping at a placer gold mine with a D9G and a semi u blade. I used what I called a funnel & trough system. Very much like what is shown here. I could pick up the load in low gear and then shift into 2nd gear and almost carry the load forward to the deposit area thanks to the windrows.

Lovely cutting my friend. Great advice. Appreciate it 😊

Wish you would post videos again mate! Really enjoy them and ready to start slot dozing!

Knowledge Rules

Hello from california. Hey thanks man im an apprentice and this video made me look like i knew what i was doing. Keep up the good work brother.

That's some cream dirt there mate. Do you get into the rock much?

😊

Legend,so simple how you explained it. Thanks again

Thanks, mate. Good vids you have here.

They must be strict about how the trucks dump it there. Were they 'line dumping' or 'paddock dumping'?

Pleas upload more videos!! Find it very helpful and interesting!! THANK YOU

Thanks for the great video.. normally in what situation do you use back to front carry?

What! No waaayyy!!!

Nice job. I have some dozing experience but far from an expert. That was great to see. It looks to me like you got each part of the process done in 1 push so I take it this was about 2 hours work? something like that?

Nice video mate I'm new dozer operator but I'm experience operator in other machines like loader, grader and excavator..and dozer Is my new machine to me tnx mate

Have to do this tomorrow on a D10 and first time building a ramp off an edge this high. Lots of great tips cheers

Never seen such a neat dump!

Good video!

Hey, so another question for you I am currently operating a D155 Komatsu and I Have another question for you. When I’m doing cleanup with smaller windrows find myself creating up and downs once in a while. Am I not looking at something correctly on the dozer or is there something else which could help me with my technique to improve more of an even grade while I am pushing the smaller windrows?

What is the good technique to teach me when I’m pushing to have less of the up-and-downs

Any video of slothing in a hill?

These gargantuan dozers are all feel. You can’t see shit.

I always cut from the front to the back when doing a cut to fill then once the cut is on grade clean up from the back to the front feeding the windrows into the slot and taking it forward. When stripping topsoil, start, at the back and work forward that way the windrows can be swept into the slots and carried forwards as U clean up so U are always working in a slot. Still operating dozers after 54 yrs in the seat.

lucky buggah ,s pushing butter , try push🎉 some rocks next time

any plans on making dumps? specifically talking about ramping it slightly depending on the material and working corners? cheers man

I came here to see what a D10 actually sounds like, since Discovery's Gold Rush thinks we're too unintelligent to notice their shameless dubbing with fake noises of machines that they get wrong.

Where is it located

Goodlord thats alot of dirt. Great video. I really enjoyed it.

I have never seen a dozer with over 49,000 hours on it and still working great. Didn't know that was possible. Some companies get rid of them after 9,000 hours saying it's done and it's not worth investing into it and just buy new ones. That's what I don't understand actually. Some say it's done after ~18k hours and do a rebuild or dump them, but others buy dozers with over 30k - 40k hours and complete trust them.

front to back is my favorite

How do your guys tailings work?

Got some good vids mate. Tops for those of us moving up to the dozer. Would love to see more uploads

Borring

marvellous, thanks for the tips and sharing of knowledge,,,,

👍

Mate, that was a cracker presentation, great, commonsense commentary from a pro driver, good graphics. Really appreciate you imparting your experience in these videos, well done. Also, it must be kick arse fun to drive a big mother like that, I’m so bloody jealous

Hey bro how and what the trick to keep your blade traight final trimming.

I reckon Back to front is when the Site is fairly steep to start with hence Doze out the High End where the Dozer will actually be not far of level when filling the blade- hence efficient on fuel

Yep- once the blade is full it just needs Skating through to its destination- no point trying fill a full blade coz it just boils off the sides

Front to back also faciltates downhill dozing using the weight of the machine has gotta be most efficient

Another good video thanks for sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand way

Thanks for the new upload been waiting for these 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Nice vid mate👌

I use the same principle when I use the snow blower.....nothing falls off the side. Instead of only being able to take half of my width i use this and it’s faster and cleaner. After taking out the middle...go back and take the windrows
