Yeah. When he was saying it would take all day to clean up leaves in a small yard with it, I thought hell, that and some beers sounds like a pretty relaxing day off ngl

[@anon_y_mousse]

I have to admit that I would love to have one too, but I think I'd enjoy it more if I built it from scratch myself. I'd definitely improve the treads, because popping off like that is no bueno, but the saw blade modification sounds like a great idea. And of course that flail mower seems like another great idea. A mini remote controlled flail mower bulldozer toy, spectacular.

This would be great in the desert where I live. I would have to brush cut everything with full scale equipment to start but then could use this for maintenance regularly scrapping the surface to keep sprouting brush and weeds from taking hold.

[@napalmholocaust9093]

Tanks with loose track pins have a keeper, a ramp or angled piece that pushes all the pins that moved back in. It was located at the top front where the body or skirts start. This is an intentional design to have them free and they didn't move much in one rotation anyway. Simple rod design, they didn't even knurl the ends.

[@guatf1]

Do they have this om both sides of the track? Or do the pins only move one way?

[@NaddlyC]

​@@guatf1they just move one way, with the head of the pin pointed to the tank

[@richarnold8951]

Maryvn By chance

[@mattbrody3565]

8:01 use the T-34 strategy. Put the wider end of the pins facing inward, and weld a wedge to each side of the hull. The wedge will hammer the pins back in for you as you drive.

[@janegibbons8640]

Did you learn that from Lindybeige too? Lol

[@chickenpotpie4045]

Equipment operator here, that mini dozer is amazing. I know you think it's performance is underwhelming, but if you keep the scale in context, it's doing exactly the same amount of work as a full sized D6. Even in the big ones, you can't just dig that deep in hard soil, even the big ones get stuck. Exactly what this little thing was doing is how the big ones handle it, little by little. When you took it to the gravel heap and it collected half a blade in the first push and kept rolling it, you'd be surprised how easily that exact same scenario will make a 25 ton D6 skate like it's on ice. That little thing is cool as hell, but I can't justify paying that much for it, yeah I want my kid to be as obsessed with machinery as I am, but I just grew up around mechanics and machinery, my kids can do the same, they don't need ridiculously expensive toys to fall in love with machinery, but it is extremely cool and I do wish I was in a financial position where I could buy stuff like this and not think about the price.

[@Underpantsniper]

Your engineering and design prowess never ceases to amaze me!!

[@5ilverstreak854]

Having only seen the thumbnail so far, this could figuratively never go wrong.

[@BloodyMobile]

That thing is adorable and impressive. Minus the weird controls, those /are/ odd, but I guess they went with a "cheap" remote and just went with tank controls and whatever was left after. I wonder how much effort it would be to change the controls to single stick for moving and steering, leaving the other for motion only. And regarding the tracks being the weakest point of the mini dozer: I wonder how that Tracked RC 'Platform' would do with those blades. That thing has more 'aggressive' tracks, which might avoid the issues that the mini dozer has. Either way, a really impressive "do not try at home" RC mower 👍

[@fhuber7507]

Someone not really used to RC designed which control did what. Computer mix tracks to one stick with a side button to stop one track if you want to pivot around it (which is a bad idea with those tracks) Then main blade OR rear plow on the other stick, Simple computer mix and a switch to swap. The blade angling on the side levers. The controls become almost intuitive rather than something you have to practice for hours to get used to. some of this can easily be done with the simple transmitter that probably comes with the unit, but I'd request a transmitter and receiver delete, since I already have a really good 18 channel computer radio. While it looks better with the metal tracks they should have done rubber track. Based on a "cogged" V-belt, it would last for years.

[@TheXxRenzxX]

I’d love to see you make a snowblower attachment for the dozer.

[@kishascape]

People have done that with g scale model trains in their garden recreating the Rotary Snowplow they use in Donner Pass California.

[@SilvaDreams]

Just as an Fyi even the big tree cutters tend to use a single large blade justfor the same reason you found, duel blades when cutting towards each other tends to just cause them to bite in and cause both blades to jam.

[@MADmosche]

“Duel blades” would be if this were used for battle bots.

[@Feloblod11]

2 things, if your cutting lawn, switch to lawn mower cable? If your cutting woody weeds, angle the blades downward slightly so the stumps dont rub against the inner part of the blades. I know this was never meant to be commercial, but seems like an easy win. Love your vids!

[@zavtparticles]

i was looking for this comment, surprised i didn't see more of these

[@lukearts2954]

for a flail mower to cut non-wood foliage, I've seen barrels with just steel chains mounted on them, each only a few links long. I think you could safely mount one to scale inside the bulldozer bucket. It wouldn't need much metal work either, because you can use the existing bucket, and just plow forward into the herbs. Find a thin but strong steel chain, maybe 4mm wire thickness on the links, 4-5 links long, and just screw the first link to the barrel in the right direction and stagger them around the barrel so that every area gets hit by chain... If you make a continuous spiral, it could (should) also propel the mulch sideways or at least to one end of the bucket.

[@philoso377]

Nice episode. Love it. I understand why you put a block at the convergence point of teeth rings, to isolate bush trunks from jamming. But also block off bushes. Here is an option we could think about. Add a comb shape structure with a specific finger spacing pointing forward to pass in thin bushes and block off anything wider than the finger gap. Comb fingers also make the bush cutting much more effective. As an option: we can begin with a comb with one finger place in the middle front where the left/right teeth meet. What do you think?

[@usernamesreprise4068]

Nice vid...enjoyed it, but just a couple of thing's........the tooth on the back is called a ripper not a plough, and on the real vehicle is for ripping up concrete and hard footings so the blade can shift it. As for the weeds, I did notice one thing this particular machine lacked that all bladed D9' dozers come with was teeth on the bottom of the blade, I think it would dig and push way more dirt around the weeds if you fitted them. also the groucher's (those horizontal blades across the tracks) could have been a little taller and more aggressive which would aid traction massively.
