I ran 46A D8's for Weyerhaeuser out of Klamath Falls for years and still love them. The D8 in the video seems like it's down on both engine power and hydraulic pressure. Super cool to see her working though!

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!

Thanks for your smart mouth reply. I know what you don't know. I grew up on a poor farm and did most jobs by hand. That job would have taken weeks with a shovel, an ax and a mattock. I doubt if know what one is, let alone used it. Not only that, I was a US Navy SeaBee. Later, I earned my mechanical engineering degree, worked in refineries and managed many multi million dollar projects. It is better to keep ones mouth shut and thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

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.

@@taistingtheair1368 I agree an excavator is more efficient for stump removal but alot of outfits can't justify the cost of an excavator. So you use what you have like I said I have built well locations for years and taken out thousands of big stumps. You just have to know how to dig them out. I only ever ran into one I couldn't dig out but it was a monster hickory. If you know anything about hickory it grows a large water root straight down and this one must have been 10 feet deep. it was on lower side of a road and I would have destroyed the road digging the thing out. So I just dug out around it cut the thing off below ground and buried it right in the road. Worked perfect and its still buried their today after must be 30 years now.

Tough old stump, and a tough, good pulling old dozer. A good bit of work, but it got it. This scenario is silly, and very unrealistic, I know, but I was imagining The Big Muskie, which has been melted for scrap metal for several years, but was the biggest dragline ever built, sitting to the right of this video. I also picture it dropping it's 200 yard bucket to the left of this video, getting a good bite, and reeling it in, taking all the trees and stumps, in the picture, and within the width of the bucket, out of the ground, in one drag of about 30 seconds, and dumping them 600 feet away, if that would be what was called for.

90% of it is “Having an experienced operator in the seat!” The machine is only doing what it is being told! Tree stumps without trees around them are by far the hardest stumps to get out! They all have Bigger & Deeper roots! ‘But what do I know?’

I agree. Nothing beats an excavator and a D8 together for digging stumps! We had actually built this landing the year before. This was a last minute favor to the logger who is a good friend. 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!

I dug out a Cedar stump in Ketchikan that I guessed weighed over 30000lbs. Using a Hitachi EX400, took over an hour to get it to move...then when it started sliding down the gully, it took standing timber and stumps alike, with it to the bottom! I made real sure to " let go of it"!!

Approach on the stump is all wrong, angle blade get alongside the stump take out the soil either side and skud out the side roots, then blade up square on and push over the top, lotsa diesel wasted, nowdays would just use excavator to pull away the soil and nudge out, This is making hard work, hard on machine and time consuming. Seems to run alright for an old gal though!/

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.
