CATERPILLAR D8 WORKING - PURE SOUND

[@ianhaggart1438]

Now George... better get that Belarus going now...😊.. thanks for letting us see this old girl showing she still has all her power... stay safe 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@casto-]

I was gonna mention the Belarus as well😆🤪👌

[@Gearoid35]

What a lovely machine no ad blue or crap, some pull on the mole plough

[@erikklein-x6u]

Our family farms in Illinois,Cats headquarters is in Peoria Illinois.We bought a D4 in 1953,and farmed with it for years,it had a blade on front,and the arms could pivot,and pull a four shank ripper in back.By the time I came along we used John Deere wheeled tractors,whose headquarters are in Moline Illinois.Even the D4 could move alot of dirt,and knock down trees with seeming ease.One of my cousins fixed it up,and repainted it a few years ago,it now is enjoying a well deserved retirement.Its nice to see that people around the world can benefit from the tremendous things that Cat equipment can do. Thanks

[@bobuncle8704]

It’s a beast of a machine, and a dream to listen to and watch work.

[@cheechU38K]

The machine that built America 🇺🇸💪🏼

[@gmartin8240]

Great sound the Cat D8 , it's working and not missing a beat . Lovely sound and power . Lovely video George 🔧🚜👍

[@izalman]

Great watching her lug down to a near stall... drop the clutch and stir in another gear and off again.. Superb old school engineering and driving. Looks like a home made mole too.

[@DieselDudeOffRoad]

Great video George, I went to a vintage caterpillar working weekend recently. It’s amazing to see these machines working up close 👍🏻

[@billybobs841]

She don't seem to mind them 2 much ...good video .. she sure sounds good

[@6900pilot]

Those exhaust flaps remind me of 80s tractors especially Deutz. Lovely sound off them air cooled engines.

[@BeefStew1332]

Throws me back to your videos on the legends old D4

[@johnmawer4391]

We’ve got a d8 in the shed but hasn’t moved since we got the rubber track, had one of those macvoy mole ploughs as well but not for long as the wheels are too close together. And would try and tip over if one leg wouldn’t come out.

[@robertstibz9506]

I personally have worked Cat D4, D6, D8 and D9, I've looked after them, serviced them and driven them a lot. Plus Komatsu dozer.

[@mattharte7334]

Glass of beer actually, not a cup of tea! Sounded lovely and making easy work of it, it’ll be doing it for another 70 years without any fuss.

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Beer is just as good 👍

[@theturnip8288]

Twin leg mole takes some pulling. Full length beam adds a shot load of friction. 235hp D8 is doing well to pull it.

[@sandymcghee3328]

Cracking video the Caterpillar D8 it is a beast George it sounds amazing 👍👍👍👍

[@deborahchesser7375]

You’d love the D-9H I used to run on a strip mine, I got to haul it too with a Mack DM800 and a 150 ton low boy, wild times

[@Jdigger4130]

Very tidy D8. I firmly believe that the 46A woods equipped is one of most stunning pieces of industrial design ever conceived! Thinking this is a 14A or 36 in immaculate shape! Thx fer sharing! Cheers fro Santa Cruz ca

[@svengranzow3702]

Hallo george Nice Film from caterpillar d8 at working. Strongly sound and Power

[@eliusbasili8890]

A very hard ground that makes the D8 suffer because the two rippers do not seem very deep for 235 hp.... Very beautifull Cat D8

[@Wornout1]

I'm guessing if it was easy to pull them the job didn't need working..I used to mole with a single leg and a little tm 105. That had to work hard on some land. Great vid 😊

[@gunnarsson272]

you could probably get them down 10 cm in my fields after 2 months of rain.

[@jayh1734]

Those look like they would be a lot harder pull than just a regular ripper

[@davidwaites2304]

Nice one George the land must of been tight, she was using all her power.

[@garryfuller3996]

What a wonderful sound

[@iancroot1388]

OOH Nice George, and the winner of the best sound in 2024 Oscar is !!!!!!

[@newandoldtech5634]

Scania straight 8 from 1952?

[@stevengeater6198]

Years ago we had on working on Leiston aerodrome, (RAF Leiston) Kept hitting underground lumps of concrete & big old lumps of metal,, Kept pulling the leg of the back of the mole!

[@rr17reebok]

Reminds me of when I went to work with my dad, mole plowing on a D8. That too was manual box with a donkey start. Found memories.

[@rusttrail3]

Great video, no computer, no DEF just this sweet ol girl turin diesel fuel into a sweet sound. The purpose of that mole is to aerate the soil I'm guessing?

[@matthewdickson7838]

They never wear out ❤ superb video thankyou George 👍👍👍

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers Matthew 👍

[@richardhaynes5922]

lord muck would have loved to be driving the D8

[@RaysFarming]

Hello George she is a beast I could listen to that all day would never get bored of that sound keep up the good work look forward the next video 👍👍

[@casto-]

Yeah that D8 just didn’t care 😆👌. Sounded sweet😍

[@trevorjarvis3021]

That was absolutely brilliant George, lovely sound!!😊

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Good luck with everything on the farm 👍👍👍

[@MrT79shakeshake]

gotta love watching UK Mole ploughs, always homemade eccentric-looking contraptions. No two are the same.

[@bobpaterson1845]

Old school torque monster doing what she does best 💪💪 great video George 👍

[@shirleydrury5565]

What a lovely old peace of KIT. Bet you could never stall that she would pull for England! Great upload much enjoyed . Thank G regards😊👍👍

[@gregf1349]

235 hp at 1275 rpm the later model D8H were 270 hp at 1275 rpm got full toque at 800 rpm the 235hp had the vertical air cleaner the 270 has a semi horizontal air cleaner 3 gear 3mph the D8K 300 hp at1375 rpm

[@TinMan0555]

I’m estimating those shanks are set at about 2 ft into the ground. And that fine lady don’t even grunt hard pulling them. Pure power to the ground, that’s what it’s all about. 🫡

[@ericarinzechi6928]

What a view.!! Great day for y’all in the field.

[@abbiejones4222]

She is bit of a animal George. Like the exhaust on her . Can't beat the cat . I drive a cat digger at work I thinnk there are the best .

[@chrislovejoy8249]

Wot a machine sounds great 👍🚜😊

[@pinkerton8212]

That was awesome George biggest problem I had was shutting my mrs up from talking ! 😂

[@GeorgeSaunders]

😂😂😂

[@paulleaver8820]

That is one nice toy to play with power and more power 😊

[@DJC995]

Nice one George Big old CAT Thanks again

[@grahambex5829]

That Cat has a heart. No like the tractors of today

[@MrPat-UK]

She sounds proper ,engine an turbo whooping the grounds ass, Wow,beautiful bit of kit, Good job done George, Perfect footage, cracking sound she makes, pretty much on tick over, the ole girl done everyone proud, didn’t even break a sweat..Thanks for that, Best footage I’ve seen in a long time.

[@charleshart6992]

Excellent video George - what a great piece of kit!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Cheers Charles 👍

[@whathasxgottodowithit3919.]

Lovely sounding engine

[@fredharrowven1040]

Good Evening George, First I would have to take them earmuffs off as I just like that tune lovely thank you very much George looking forward to more the same.🚜🚜⭐️⭐️👍👌

[@GeorgeSaunders]

You would quite possibly be deaf by the end of the day but it'd be worth it 👍

[@fredharrowven1040]

Yes you can say that again but who gives a toss lol.

[@citetez]

@fredharrowven1040 "You can say that again ..." But louder.

[@marshall0792]

Fun fact about those old CATs is when they lug down that’s when the engine is making maximum power.

[@stevengeater6198]

Will have to watch it again, didn't have a cup of tea!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

😂 crank that sound up Steven 👍

[@adrianshjadesheehan9991]

Your brillant George your videos are fantastic

[@andyjohnson9894]

Sat back George with a brew and ............................ what a soundtrack 🙂

[@gregtaylor8327]

The torque is amazing.

[@Northern_Farmer]

I need to get my d8k running again

[@scania357]

Pure magic thanks George.;

[@norman32949]

Enjoyed that George , glass of beer and turned the volume up 👍

[@patkelly7999]

Great stuff George, Thank You 👍🙏😎

[@carlachambers3771]

God damn those trees on the end!!

[@barrypooley3192]

Loved it excellent 🤝🤝👌👌👍👍

[@chuckraetz6654]

Sounds great!👍

[@ianwallett7438]

If he parks that up for any length of time he will have a Crane nesting in the exhaust pipe!!! That is huge. 🙂👍

[@oliveringram3056]

That must be very tight land to be working that hard.

[@garyevans5335]

Proper class that is 👍👍👍

[@alexthomson719]

O man fill your boots wonderful 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@robertallen3441]

Some tough old ground there, even making the CAT work for a living. Lot of tough land this year, last winters rain has really put the land down.

[@ryebob1568]

I used to operate all sorts before my latest stupid.accident. Can hardly walk now. Can't even climb up into a 360. So I'm convalescing at home. Watching KZbin. I'll catch up on Mukka"s channel too. All the best.

[@kevinwillis9126]

Thanks George loved the vid.... Take care sir....

[@vincentwalker7134]

Anno there's no cab and all the rest of it but how many thousands would you have to spend to replace it... what a great tool when the weather is good....👍

[@gingerninja7187]

Proper big boys toy, awesome

[@ArchersView]

Sound's sweet as a nut! Best white noise of 2024.

[@ryebob1568]

Komatsu D155a. Absolutely unstoppable. Raw power. Had the pleasure of operating one in 1987.

[@billupstateny9151]

Sweet sound, George 🐄🍶🚜👌

[@brianmarshall1637]

What a machine,I wouldn,t like to try pulling that implement with my MF 165.

[@kennardjohnson7875]

Looks like a 36 or next model, but she is awful weak,back in the day with a root plow 30ty to 36 inches deep and the plow covered the tracks about 2 feet, it looks before cable k... but the 8's I was around way back in the day would really put up black clouds.

[@futurefarm73]

It sounds like they always did - great! But what kind of task is it, is it to loosen the soil layers? Like deep ripping or delving? Cheers!

[@morrismclean3584]

You stated at 10:20, "unstoppable horsepower". Sorry but it's - strong low down torque. It does sound fantastic.

[@redtussock]

Sounds like she could handle another few notches down ... 🙂

[@Wornout1]

Not really 😅

[@michaellane9873]

Now that is old school.

[@brianmarshall1637]

Additionally it is a home made plough,but by move it does the job.

[@kellywilson8440]

I bet that ole girl would pull the rear end out of a dead rhino lol , Lovely sounding old beast and great video !

[@robertsmith9810]

ear plugs mandatory George and you can still reverse over the ditch Dream on

[@stevelake3541]

When it pulls the opposite way to the Earths rotation does it make the daytime longer🤔

[@memyselfandifarmer]

Love old school.

[@aussiedirtmover]

❤❤ brilliant video dozers going like a new one 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@OutofTownwithRobinBell]

[@gunton21]

Great video as always george 👍

[@dancobb8278]

Back when you actually felt like you where operating a dozer. New dozers have computers running everything.

[@luisnunes7933]

Hello! Fine old beast!

[@pueowright7467]

Old girl is gorgeous

[@SimonPerry-cz4ke]

No Steiger FW Clutch issues with that old Girl thats why it has hand clutch to get enough leverage to operate it.

[@dorsetfendtfarmer720]

Pure Pure power. 👍

[@Darrenws111]

Just wanted to say that video was amazing fabulous I sat in my chair with a fox's rocky chocolate biscuits and a cup of Yorkshire tea And I enjoyed a great video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Mucker won't be happy,you playing with a D8

Why ? I spent enough time on a D8H moling in Suffolk

[@patrickhathaway6178]

Wish I knew what it was doing. But it was doing it well!

[@GeorgeSaunders]

Pulling drainage holes to help drain the field when it's wet

[@two-strokesmoke7289]

Close to 1300 cubes!!!!! 45, 000 lbs+ Fuel consumption is quite low, very low "high idle"

[@petelamps6055]

What a hos of a machine 👍👍

[@michaelslinn7472]

[@bufferbridge]

Plenty of power sure nuff but the odd hard place made her fart and cough a bit 😂

[@geoffreyrharris7926]

But when you going to get yr track one done

[@ryebob1568]

Music to my ears George ! Hope you an the family are well. How's Mukka ? ?. Have you been up to any Spandex Shenanigans lately ?

[@rolnics]

Oh yeah someone mentioned your Belarus - trade it in for an old Cat like that - winch blade and all! Or maybe, trade in the Fastrac🤣 instead and get a D9!
