I had those same engine covers on my D8H. They made maintenance a pain, and if you needed to work on top of the motor, had to take the hood off and bend over the side covers. They weighed so much that the only way they could be handled was with the truck crane. Paid $1000 for those things, they were in the scrap pile only a couple years later. If you need brush protection, your mechanic can build a light weight, easily removable grid out of re-bar for a fraction of what those junkers cost, and lower your maintenance costs, cause it’s 1 hour to R and R those panels if you’re doing anything more than changing the air filter. To add insult to injury, the LH panel has to be trimmed so the element will come out of the housing!

As someone who spent a lifetime on equipment they sure was alot of useless movement with a powerful machine like this D8. Got another question what's up with the title I seen no rescue? Rescue of what? Looked to me the operator needed rescued I have pushed stumps twice that size with a old TD 15 international building well locations for drilling rigs. It's not rocket science angle the blade up and dig down around those roots til you find the bottom of the root ball. Move to the weakest side put your blade about half way up and start pushing out and up. This will loosen it till it pops out of the hole. Until the root ball is excavated your wasting time and energy trying to push on a stump this size.

I only ever ran into one I couldn't dig out but it was a monster hickory.

Our excavators were 30 miles from here the only machine we had left around was this D8 and as you can see the yarder crew were sitting there waiting for us. And what you can’t tell in the video is that it was early spring. The ground is muddy and there were logs lying on the back side of the stumps. Not an everyday example of digging large redwood stumps!

You have no clue. Those 8s are slow and cumbersome and not particularly powerful considering their size. Worn tracks, old engine, soft ground, hillside all working against a well-enscounced, deep-rooted stump. Operator did just fine.

well not all stumps come outeasy i could have gotter done with my d4d buta lot longer also stumps are twice as hard to up root without tree on top

It took that tree about 200 years to grow there and 10 minutes to push it out of the ground.

If that's an Excavator up the hill he should take care of that stump. I'd fire the Operator for wasting hours on that thing. Time is money.

The machine is an old beauty, though it sounds under powered, and looking at the exhaust it looks to me like the turbo is taking a shit, way to much white smoke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If the turbo was “taking a shit” it would be black smoke white smoke is leaking injector o-rings but yeah that things a dog

Waste of time to use a dozer to clear stumps. Far faster to blast them out or use an excavator to dig them out. Sure a dozer can move dirt horizontally, with enough time it can clear a stump out, but the crew waiting for the stump to be cleared is costing money doing nothing.

More a job for a front end loader, or a large back hoe. No need for traction. Just brute hydraulics along with a nice clenching bucket. Just so much a dozer can do. Need to be able to scoop and drive it.

That had to be the worst piece of machine operation I have ever seen. I could push more dirt with my Tonka Toy.

A KG Blade or a more experienced operator would have done it a lot quicker. Too much deceleration.
