Backslope 2

[@Nudnik1]

We built roads like these using a Yanmar mini excavator. Miles of them. Then touched up with 289CAT CTL. We had more rock. Shale not much sand like that. Nice job 👍

He did good with what he had to do the job

[@dark_canada]

thats gotta be the cutest lil thing ive ever seen

[@nicke1903]

Those lil dozers are impressive, cut a fire line pretty fast, smaller than a typical dozer, makes it handy.

[@somethingoutdoors1412]

Love the hard hat. Really makes it official

[@kurtclark8560]

Like the comment above says, you cut the slope as you go, not after you are done. The slope board is a finish tool, not for hogging dirt out of a bank. This is pretty bad machine abuse.

[@dozerboy67]

The big time operator in me wants to clown on this, but it’s better than digging by hand! 🤨🤣🤣 the little dozer that could 😂😂

[@Harikarikillboy]

🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 it’s a cool little set up though, looks like the perfect tool for really tight spots and grading/cutting steep hillsides. I’m not an operator by trade, but have a bunch of seat time in small equipment like bobcats/cat excavator (I own a 304) it’d be a really cool job though, but like anything else it’ll suck after a while when you’re getting checks.lmmfao

Ótimo vídeo 👏👏

[@craigvanhousen559]

Do you have any more videos? I bought my Sutter 480 a year ago this December. Been getting some good use out of it on the ranch starting this last spring. I had an old D-4 years ago. Sure like this small Sutter Dozer. I can haul it with my 4x4 3/4 ton Dodge diesel, makes it handy. What state are you located in?

The Little Engine That Could.. 👍😎✊

[@randyballew8795]

😅 that's just big enough to make you want a real machine 😉

[@tsant6591]

He's beating the piss out of that side finish blade. Goodbye hydraulics.

[@Agnemons]

There is no adverse load on the hydraulics.

[@lonewolfwildernesssurvival9443]

So did the hard hat come with the little joes construction set 😂

[@Bushguyrocks]

Do they still make these?

[@personaltrails1352]

[@personaltrails1352]

Their new model (almost identical to the 480 seen here) is the 500. Also make the 300 which is a smaller model for narrower trails

[@Bushguyrocks]

@@personaltrails1352 The 500 has been out for years! Never see anything new from them.

[@gregkocher5352]

Too small to deal with rock layers?

[@billcook5056]

Both Sutter and Sweco make these.

[@jrexcavatingsons]

Wow that this is cool!

[@DolittleMccoy]

I'd love to own one of these... I'm just not sure what to look for when buying a used piece of equipment

[@perrystulting2782]

Should have cut the slope as he was cutting the road he is killing the machine

[@davidfarley1175]

Looks like the only thing you were doing is creating places for the hillside to slip with rain and freezing and thawing

[@SibueaBrothers]

Great mate

[@curontruck]

I like your video ❤❤❤❤

[@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl]

Not an operator but that’s what I was thinking. That blade doesn’t look like it’s meant for that, not enough support I’d think and the machine don’t look like it was designed to do both at once.

[@Agnemons]

That batter blade is about as strong as the main blade. It's mounted at 3 points in a triangle. The load on the hydraulics is all straight down the cylinder so not an issue. I would have thought a 3 or 5 ton excavator with a tilt bucket would have been more productive and cheaper to operate. But you use the machine you have not the one you would like.

[@joegrabowski6011]

Don't know how long that road will stick with just top soil if looks counted for anything he would get a A hope it sticks to the grade,oh that poor slope board sure took a beating

[@alfabravo4559]

Creo una retroexcavadora sería mejor... eso es maltrato,pobre minibulldozer😅

[@alphonsotate2982]

Time for a excavator better reach and better power

Omg this is painful to watch

[@johngalt3139]

Those are cool machines, but way overpriced and parts/service a challenge. Would be smarter to just get a CTL if you need something with a smaller footprint than a standard dozer

[@williewaters6040]

This is painful to watch this out needs help

[@richardkremer8313]

I guess no one ever told this first year operator you don’t use organic soil for a road bed. Not stable..

[@nicke1903]

It's a recreational trail not a road for vehicles, other than topsoil that's all the dirt you're gonna get in the Mtns, they'll take these machines miles back in the woods and build trails and fire breaks, maintenance of trails, hence the small machine.

[@Agnemons]

My guess is that this "First year operator" knows a hell of a lot more about the machine and the conditions prevailing than an youtube expert like you.
