D9 Cat Diggin Mass Grave

digging a dead animal pit for power county, yup going to throw rover, mr. ed, bettsy, and anything else without opposable thumbs in heremaps.google.com...

[@777strongcoffee]

That's how so many dinosaur bones ended up in piles together. D9 Cat !

[@dozerboy67]

It’s always a pleasure to watch a true catskinner at work! I appreciate an operator who knows how to use his rippers, most guys bury the whole ripping chassis instead of just 2/3rds of the shank, which causes undue wear on both. Jay, a man and his machine, is a beautiful thing! 🙏🇺🇸💪💪🤘

[@KySilverfish]

I appreciate the other skilled hands noting in words how skilled you were in performing this particular task. People like me who have never operated such a machine can't fully comprehend how much skilled precision was utilized simply by watching a video. Expert opinions by similar workmen spell out explicitly whether the operator knows his trade or not, and to what degree.

[@tyfrank3427]

D-9s are great machines. We dug a pit like this with our D9G one time to bury trees we cleared on a road allowance and while my dad was digging the hole with the D-9 I was gathering up the brush with the D6D. I worked all morning pushing these trees in a pile next to the hole he was digging. After lunch, with one push of the D9G, all my morning's work ended up in the hole.

I was working on a development pushing the rock dump on a 8t and the guy asked me if i could dig a couple of test holes with it i said yea he said he'd be back in a hour with the engineer to test the dirt for a possible borrow pit after a half hour all ya could see was the top of the cab i was having fun that day

Nice smooth cuts hell of an operator there. Plus scrapers would have to make big circle set up and the dozer would have to push then back up. In a slot doze like this dozer will do the work faster.

[@zeeshan_engineering_services]

Hmm I believe it is powered by Caterpillar D353 diesel engine which I never had to made hands on experience in engine rebuild and troubleshooting. Because here in Pakistan these old and gold yellow iron jewel are no more. Only some D10N, D8K, D6D and D7G track type tractor TTT are available to cut n dig the soil

No seepage being that deep and close to the river???very interesting.. But guess I've been in Florida waay too long.. Love your vids.. I'm going to subscribe.. Thanks for sharing..got me through my weekend with the flu. 😰😰👍👍👌👌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@truckingswe]

Now i see wy dozers are so popular in US not a singel rock in the ground. Here in Sweden you have some top soil max 6inch and then rock hard dirt mixed whit small rocks and boulders, the ground is so hard from when pressur from the ice aged.

[@tzisme]

Co. "A" 84th. Engineer Battalion Vietnam 69/70 we operated a quarry and crusher site and we had two D-9's that were painted their CAT yellow, along with our regular equipment.

[@bobw7066]

A least the chain sprockets don't jump like the high drive ones do. great work.

[@KySilverfish]

I can guess a few reasons to bury vs burn: Forego the cost of accelerants, Forego any dangers of fire spreading during dry and windy conditions, Maintain discretion such that outside parties are not alerted to the volume or frequency of disposed animals (In the case of diseased cattle that could be alarming to neighbors, buyers/consumers, or regulatory types.), Reduce the risk of spreading fungiforms for disease that would normally escape open burning temperatures (chronic bovine encephalitis or wasting disease comes to mind).

[@DB-vx8hz]

I'm 84 years young. Loved when I operated any bull dozer.

[@incontruth4116]

That’s not as easy as it looks. Good operator.

[@FlyingSeaMan256]

Beautiful cuts. Beautiful machine. What a fantastic video

[@alvie2]

it's harder to reverse back through the trench w/o gouging the wall.

You ever noticed how much your knees bash against the side panels when you get the wiggle going. I mean you don't notice it during the day but some nights phew and look at the shiny steel on the panel lol

how come ya aint riping as ya pushing?

[@louieenos3091]

Looks like you and this operator both have the same pick-up truck.

[@Jpaydirt]

chris scott Its pretty difficult in a slot like this, the ripper will try to steer you into the wall and then the blade will gouge into it and stall you, you steer with the tilt cylinder, when you get this deep the outside shanks can't dislodge the hard pan outward because of the ten feet of material on top of it so it travels inward and never really breaks up at the inside edges, so the corner bits have to remove the hard pan making it kinda squirrely to get it to run straight, you can do both but then both operations suffer to the point that your just not getting enough ripping or dozing done.
