46a Sloping the bank without a slope board

[@dozer1642]

Thank you so much for not putting “music” over this symphony. The sound of that machine being ran by this guy is truly music to my ears. This machine will run another 50 years with only oil changes if operators like this run it. No slamming, no clanking, no bogging, no abuse. It really is beautiful ground too. Not a rock in sight. Reminds me of Mariposa county above the Merced river.

[@michaelwills1926]

Amen to all of the above, not the least of which that beautiful dirt.

[@srankin8022]

I've never heard of a slope board I thought that was the way you do it. Lol Love cutting those truck roads through steep ground. Great running dozer with a very good operator!

[@LoBeau53]

This doesn’t look like a job for a slope board to maybe after the road was cut across the face of the slope, he could use one to trim the bank but in this instance I think it would be cumbersome. Having said that , I have trimmed a lot of slopes with a D-8H but never run a slope board so could be mistaken

[@Geoff-m7j]

We called slope boards batter boards in Australia. Country Roads Board had lots of D7Es and many good operators who using an angle blade could cut a very nice batter face in rock in road cuttings which was usually 1:1 and too hard for a grader. It was quite a skill. Those sort of professional dozer operators don’t exist today.

[@tripler3724]

Not a wasted movement; joy to watch and agree on no music, that deisel engine is music to my ears.

[@jamesbulliard3020]

smooth and steady wins every time , that’s why that old dozer running so good , the man running it respects his equipment

[@deborahchesser7375]

You can’t afford a man that doesn’t have finesse, especially when you start buying parts. I’ve thrown guys off a piece of equipment, I’m not delaying a project because some Ahole wants to abuse my shit.

[@kerryvinci5287]

Very nice to see one of the greatest Bulldozers Cat has ever made still working hard and sounds awesome like a 46A should! Especially in Communist California; this is a rare sight with all the emissions laws. Great to see! And a very great operator; very efficient and so easy on that great machine! Nice job.... keep it up.

I'm amazed at the lack of rock in this 'dozer's path. Then again I am used to see a lot of rock in the soil that I have seen moved around where I live. Good operator,...( seems to be an understatement, doesn't it !_) The person on the camera is doing a pretty fair job of showing us this too! Thanks.

That dirt looks like a dream to make roads with. The winch is for beginners incase they tip it to far or logging. I'm guessing but you can set high lead logging with that winch set up or even cable block logs out if steep terrain with that one.

That's a cool technique digging a corner and widening and getting more dirt on the steep corner front digging the blade tip up high side .
