Cat D6N Bulldozer Pushing Stone (Outside View)

[@BeytekinConstructionMachinery]

Man, those are really trucks! Holy gosh. Nice job.

[@DieselandIron]

This was a fun project

[@aceone102]

I could watch you all day...exciting to see professional at work!

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks Larry! I appreciate the compliment!

[@mattadey6728]

A professional knows all aspects of the job including saving fuel and burning it in the shortest ways possible on every job.

[@restless7528]

Damn good dozer operator keep him he actually runs the machine correctly and uses the d-pedal b4 changing directions good job sir that's how you run a dozer!!!!

[@DieselandIron]

Thank you! These sort of jobs were the best. It was a mile long stretch of highway that I had to grade out. Easy dozing all day long

[@E3WWETNARAP]

We also bought a d6n lgp open cab from you guys as well

[@DieselandIron]

Hey, I totally forgot to respond to this comment. Where are you guys?

[@E3WWETNARAP]

Diesel and Iron we are in Middleburg heights Ohio, company is Fabrizi trucking and paving

[@DieselandIron]

Awesome

[@johnnymurff4137]

Nice footage, like seeing gravel stone unloaded and spread with the wheel loader. How many tons per truck load were unloaded and spread? Keep up the good work

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks Johnny! With the right operator in the seat this could easily be done with a wheel loader as well. I believe each one of these gravel trains brings in ~44 tons of stone (between the lead and the pup).

Man, dozer is by far my favorite machine to run, but I am most proficient on loader and hoe because it seems like that's what I am always needed to run. But you can bet your ass, I will pretty much fight anyone around me if some cat work comes up. You my friend, are a treat to watch. Every now and then I come across a dozer hand that I will just sit and watch every little thing he does and you are definately one of those guys. I want to learn as much as I can. Keep up the good work. You have a Tallent. I will now go rinse with some scope after blowing you for the last few minutes...

[@DieselandIron]

Hey Ryan! Sorry for getting back to you so late but I never got a notification that this comment came in. I really appreciate the feedback and the compliments! It is nice to get some compliments with all of the armchair operators out there passing out the critiques. That being said, don't cut yourself short. Having spent a couple years as the loader hand on a couple of jobs I will absolutely say that is one of the most important jobs on the site. Not everyone can handle the stress of that busy position. Hope all is going well and thanks again!

[@Nates707]

Now for a guy who has never run a dozer before. It looks really hard to push material. How do you know when your blade is almost out of material?

[@DieselandIron]

A couple different ways. One of the biggest ways you can tell when working a lot of material is by feel. After running the machines for awhile you can tell when you have material on the blade just by how the machine responds. When you get to fine grading and you are only dealing with a small amount of material you are watching the back of the blade and you can see when you are no longer pushing material. As far as keeping your grade level, that's all in your ass and just takes a lot of seat time.

[@Nates707]

Thanks for always responding. Looking forward to more videos🤘🏽

[@E3WWETNARAP]

Hey man, we bought a d6n xl from an auction that used to be dans excavating that looks exactly like this that I’ve been running, I’m thinking it’s the same machine, I’m currently running the machine that was in this video

[@DieselandIron]

Nice! That was a solid machine. I just wish it had a cab for the winter time!

[@smokingbluedream]

Where was the grade checker ? Was he too busy driving around in the site truck smoking and drinking ?

[@DieselandIron]

I didn't have a dedicated grade checker here. My job was to rough the stone in and a GPS dozer would follow in a few days to finish it off. I did have a grade checker at the other end of the job that would swing through every hour or two to spot check me but that was it.

[@dudearchjohnson]

Awesome operator!- our crews in Alaska would have your place stacked with material so fast aint no time to even have a drink of water. 13 trucks 12 hour day adds up on their 10 min round trip , my arm hurts just thinkin bout it ;)

[@1jeffheck]

I’m guessing by the trains hauling the stone this is in Michigan

[@DieselandIron]

Yes sir, this was on 94 by the Fermie nuclear plant

[@DirtNDiesel94]

awesome couple vids you put up, well looks like okemos for me not AA but maybe later this year but i highly doubt it starting another sub is what i have been hearing but who knows lol but i'll make more of an effort to get some vid of me running something once we move to a new job site.

[@DieselandIron]

zack ford looking forward to it man!
