Well, that was the right tool for the job. I love the D11's working and being repaired. Your repair videos are excellent!

[@alspeers6931]

All Cats are strong for sure but these 2 11,s had been worked ridiculous ly hard and chalked up massive hours, yet these fellas spruced them up and they are still tough as nails and putting in lots of solid work ,love it ,sooo impressive lads

[@geedubb2005]

That’s some great looking material.

[@brentcos9370]

Awesome! Love D11s.

[@israelanselmo]

Very good. It is High power at low speed for better grip. There the D11 is in its natural habitat.

[@DumbCarGuy]

The Komatsu guys are screaming Dimsum. As in Dimsum nice caterpillars.

[@johnnymurff4137]

Nice footage keep it coming

[@jamesmcdonald9590]

Good job mate 👍

[@astro1218]

Amazing ! No further crushing or processing needed

[@gileshamilton4462]

Those tracks are slipping a bit looking like some new boots will be needed soon & great to see it lugging away without revving it guts out ....

[@2626stephen]

Cracking bit of kit

[@melhand3990]

Serious stuff lads.

[@troyadamswaymarfarm5224]

Hi mate, Awesome video, thanks for sharing... I could really use a couple of loads of that gravel behind our machinery shed...😄😅 Stay safe...

[@thejacksonbrothers]

troy adams thanks, it’s good stuff, especially for causeways👍

[@zaidalkhail1960]

Very good

[@johntenhave1]

What monsters these machines are, it is like having a tame dinosaur at your disposal.

[@rirohitlife]

nice

[@serba_serbi]

Perfectly 👍👍

[@DieselandIron]

Looks like it's almost time for a new set of track pads! That looks like some miserable ripping. Thanks for the vid!

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Diesel and Iron we have organised to get new lugs welded on, hopefully this year sometime. Thankfully It’s a relatively small quarry!

[@Billybob-vp7ze]

Welded on grousers are the best for BULK grip I have seen em snap off in the mines but you guys work in a lot of soft country so should be perfect

[@Murphyslawfarm]

G'day this video rocks

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s a ripper😉

[@troyadamswaymarfarm5224]

Hahahah...😅

[@nanusolanki1156]

[@jblob5764]

Man that d11 rips that stiff up like its shale

[@tomgluth4254]

Just subscribed! Great videos, interesting and very real. Is your farming operation separate from your earthmoving operations? Thanks in advance if you get time to answer.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Thanks mate, they aren’t really separate but we do a lot of contract work with dozers so a couple of us are running dozers while the other does the farm work, but we pull the dozers up when we need the labour for planting, harvest etc👍 we do a lot of dozer work on our own farm too obviously😁

[@diydirtbike4625]

Rip baby Rip!!

[@seldoon_nemar]

what's the final size on that? I can't tell if this is gravel for a driveway or rip-rap for erosion control (head size rocks)

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Bit of a mix of size, mainly used for erosion control. Anything from the size of a fist to the size of a foot

[@seldoon_nemar]

@@thejacksonbrothers yup, that's what i was thinking of when i said rip-rap. idk the actual industry name lol. it's neat that it brakes up so perfectly! do you ever get any surprise big chunks, or is it all smooth sailing?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

@@seldoon_nemar it mostly breaks up fairly easily and evenly👍

[@peteparker7396]

Holy cow! No crusher needed! Just push her up and haul it off. You’d be a wealthy man around my part of the world with material like that. Unreal. You reckon there room for a Texican down there???? 🤠

[@martiniv8924]

Ummm 🤔 1 thumbs down !, Must be the neighbour or a Komatsu salesman 😝

[@thejacksonbrothers]

😂

[@marcusgault9909]

Yer Austrailian basalt looks gui saft, compared to our rock hard Co. Antrim basalt. But wonderful stuff for farm road building

[@marcusgault9909]

Just to add, I presume that is the time weathered top layer, exposed over millenia and rotten, we do get that too, my Dad favoured it for round water troughs since it was kinder on the cattles feet, it packed down like concrete too.

[@andrewrees8749]

Those tracks are well worn down .

[@clydeacor1911]

Looks like the old girl is ready for some new shoes or maybe weld some grouser extensions on. They're looking a bit worn down, I couldn't imagine how many hours are on them.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Yep . We have the steel there ready to go. Was meant to be done 5 months ago😂

[@cmdmd]

At 3:30, Isn't that pushing like 100 tons?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Probably, a full push is about that👍😄

[@cmdmd]

@@thejacksonbrothers Thanks for the reply. I started watching these people I might get a small piece of land in the western US (0.28 Hectares). It has many evergreens and it’s on a slight grade. So, naturally, I started watching videos of how things are cleared and how a road can be made. :) Thank you again.

[@michaelmolloy365]

Where the buggery do you find a quarry of pre sized basalt trench rock for christs sake? lol

[@floydgould4401]

Angle the shank back more .

[@craigalchin272]

Ok expert 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@floydgould4401]

Well I think considering I've been operating Dozers in all types of mines quarries and swamps for the past 26 years that would warrant surely a little recognition as a worthy operator handing out a little tip or is that a little to much for ones ego maybe . It's okay to improve or try something different.

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@floydgould4401 , do you mean tilt the top of it forward or back?

[@floydgould4401]

Forward

[@vsvnrg3263]

@@floydgould4401 , thanks for that. by the way, you do warrant recognition as a worthy operator who takes the time to hand out a little tip. i am forever grateful to the man who showed me the finer features of how to operate an excavator to a skill level better than most. but jesus bloody christ ive seen how touchy some others are when i offer them some advice on how to do things better. they'll never get any better if they arent prepared to learn.
