Location is Northern NSW, Australia. There are other videos on the channel to listen to them burning diesel and hopefully many more to come! Unfortunately it’s difficult to get decent sound with drone footage but I’m working on it as they do sound nice!

[@glyphs3]

Any sound from these monsters is better than the selected music. Keep it real or not at all.

[@DieselandIron]

I've found that I can setup a H1N recorder on a tripod reasonably close to the work and it will capture all of the sound while the drone flies. To sync audio and video have someone stand next to the recorder while the drone is facing them and clap your hands once or twice. You now have a visual and audio point to sync with.

Gear review With kye This appears to be shot on a drone, you can’t hear the machines from the drone, if there is even audio recording on the drone it would only pick up the drone’s props running, hence the reason for the music.

I see nothing wrong with the music, I see those D11s marching to the beat.

[@brianmcbride99]

JohnnyRingo not sure what you’re referring to. I merely pointed out that IF the drone was recording audio, all you would hear is the sound of the rotors buzzing. Obviously yes, I know that any video can have audio overlaid on top of it.

ive gotta ask are youse the fellas that came through our place near berrigal creek?

[@SJR_Media_Group]

*_Must have been a BIG job if D11's were needed... they are not big.. they are HUGE._* Dozers are perfect for 'pushing' ground around. Perfect use for creating new contours and earthen berms for flood control. I can remember when D9's were the biggest bad boys on the block. They are small next to their big brother, the D11. When front blade is rated for 25 cubic yards, that is saying a lot. That is the equivalent to 2 and 1/2 ten yard dump trucks worth of material. That means material didn't have to be loaded into dump trucks, then transported to work area, then dumped. Dozers can move it to exact position after being dumped. But if the excavation area isn't too far, it's faster to have giant dozers push material from cut area to fill area in 1 step. *_Former Boeing Everett. I love big machines, whether planes or construction equipment._*

[@gazof-the-north5708]

Hercules and Samson at work!

[@mattcartwright8272]

Are you filling in a natural stream in order to enlarge the field? Or was that an old drainage ditch? It meanders across the field. It's shallow so maybe you had some massive flood water cut across the low lying part of the field which cut through the (excellent) top soil?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

As much as I LOVE seeing these two monsters working side by side, I can't imagine the bill for the farm to have this work done. Was there really enough earth moved to justify this or was it done for promotional purposes? Not trying to be snooty, honestly asking. Loved the video!

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks! Generally the bigger the machine the cheaper it is per cubic meter moved (Its approx $1 per cubic meter). It works out cheaper and a lot quicker for the farmer. Time is money, especially for farmers. We obviously don’t do small jobs except on our own farm.

[@DieselandIron]

@@thejacksonbrothers that makes sense. Do you guys have to tear down those machines to transport them? Here in the states you have to remove the blade and ripper for transport and get a bunch of special permits due to the weight which makes them really expensive to move around.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s much the same here but we usually walk them from job to job (usually within 20kms). Factoring in wear and tear it still works out cheaper if it’s a reasonable size job.

They are filling in bad erosion from floods a few years back then ripping the ground so dirt is easier to push when putting in new contour banks. Both dozers have gps leveling so we can make sure water flows correctly into waterways.
