DOZER ON THE EDGE

D11 BACKFILLING DEEP PIT

[@generationll]

Love watching this big crawler work.Love the sound of its 2,105 cid 3508.The D11N has got to be pushing 50-60 yards a pass.

[@mrbluenun]

45 yard³ with the 'standard Rock Blade I guess you could call it. 57.9 yard³ the 'Carry' Dozer Blade. 98 yard³ with a special Coal-U Blade. Coal is lighter that a lot of other rocks hence the larger blade and and larger 'carrying' side. This refers to the D11N. The D11T and R are slightly different.

[@bretmuldner]

Thats a standard SU Blade.

[@byronnickels1704]

Looks like he's pushing tailings pile back into the cut and the drillers prepping for a new bench

[@007TruthSeeker]

O.M.G! Amazingly huge pit, and to think that THAT D-11 and, oh, about ten operators ove the next two centuries are going to put twenty eight kids through college, pay for dozens of trips to exotic locales and burn up a few tanker (ship) loads of fuel. Such is the value of the many thousands (millions?) of tons of ore and thousands of tons of purified metals pulled out of this monstrosity. It helps me appreciate copper, and D-11s. Rock on, and thanks for posting this video.

[@chrissygw4971]

10 years later, I wonder if he is still trying to fill that hole!

[@agentx7138]

2020 and almost half way!

[@bretmuldner]

He aint back filling nothing, he just leveling off a pad to do more drilling it looks like!

[@Domino10112]

I’m amazed by what this dozer is doing.

[@robertwood5259]

I get vertigo just watching this guy!!

[@Elminerocaliza]

Very nice video bennett that d11 is amazing keep working like that.!

[@jeffstock3590]

After watching a video like this, I realize that there will never be a dozer truly big enough for places like this.

[@davidwillard7334]

That's ! Only ! ONE !! That's what ! Makes !! Videos !! Like !! This !! STUPID !!

[@mrbluenun]

Hi bennettshovel, You certainly would not want to make a misjudgement pushing over that plateau? Sure is a long ways down! Take care, and thanks for the video. mrbluenun

[@jknalgon3549]

Actually, the best practice is to leave about half a blade full on the edge. It's easily pushed off on the next pass, where half a load is left again. There is no loss of production, and safety is greatly improved.

[@mogges1]

Yeah!! I have been work on filling this hole for 60 yr and that all I have got done

[@Gasteraner]

Still a big hole to get refilled- that d11 is looking like a toy and that big mine- good vid take care

[@usaisalwaysnumber1]

clearin drill ground for the next shot.driller filler and blast er..dragline digs in to under burden the coal block what memories ..

[@Gasteraner]

Looking like a black waterfall- awesome

[@Gimblevalve]

He doesn't need to grow a pair!! Surprised theres room in the cab for the ones he's got!!

[@wailnshred]

I don't think it's a copper mine, I think it's a coal mine in the Anthracite coal region of PA.

[@Only-one-life-68]

Were on earth is this been filmed.awesome.

[@Bulldog1653]

A guy could drink a LOT of beer watching that hole get filled in lol. I would love to run that D-11. The biggest I've ever operated was a D-10N and I loved every second of it. That monster was a blast.

[@davidwillard7334]

WELL ! GO !! AND !? BUY !! ONE !! THEN !!

[@turner593]

[@mogges1]

[@arborist460]

[@morgankillian7929]

Looks like a crude waterfall lol. Like in home alone 2.... "Wow what a hole!!"

[@chfar072281]

They are blown out with a air compressor after every shift.

[@mikelhall]

It's going to take a lot of dirt to fill that hole.

[@mrbluenun]

Kinda got a job for life filling that hole?

[@davidwillard7334]

GREAT !! AVALANCHE !!

[@dieselphil59]

1 that d11 will be an antigue 2 the operaters great grandson x 6 times 3 and we who are commenting will be long dead by the time that hole is filled in,lol

[@alecgordon1]

How often do the air filters get clogged and have to be changed on the D11? Is it working 24/7? Thanks

[@johnm.evangelis693]

Good video Bennettshovel's channel...

[@labyonnette]

[@bperry1647]

Ben Downe he is doing what we call drill benching....he will level that bench the drill will drill holes for amonia nitrate.

[@nolanr1400]

What ore is it ?

[@sergioarguelo3219]

vontade de trabalha com um desse

[@ringbolt9]

that drag bucket almost looks small for the machine.

[@russellsmith3825]

Looks like he needs to hold a little more tension on the drag brake as he pulls the hoist line, he's losing too much material

[@HotelBravo07]

God look at that hole.. Talk about job security!!!!!....

[@BloxFruitsMoments]

Going to take a while to fill that hole lol

[@MitzvosGolem1]

[@СолдатСолдатов-э4д]

[@Nadstratosfer]

Poor video quality but well captured, 100 tons of earth becoming a waterfall every minute, going down that abyss.

[@Workmule4ever2day]

[@bladerunner6354]
