The Cat D6D Rolling Deep Snow!!!

[@ericknutson8230]

Absolutely awesome,,,,, glad to see he has the opportunity to use all of the experience, expertise, and knowledge at his age! Just a sneaky hunch but I bet he don't see that as work either.

[@terriellis5145]

God bless your father at a young age ❤❤. I'm glad he's going strong!! I've lost my parents many years ago. Luv the video. God bless your family and merry Christmas and happy new year. From Ne now retired at 64. Ms T Ellis ❤❤

[@leesteele9290]

Those older CAT machines are pretty incredible , if the charging system and batteries are in good shape , and fuel is appropriately treated they are cold weather staters beyond belief to me , hold that glow plug switch as prescribed and if they crank decently they'll rattle to life ! I'm grateful we don't have enough snow to have to move it with a crawler ! Never had to deal with a manual adjust blade but looks like a job for an ambitious young man on a nice day !!! Fun to watch your dad operate with the frosting on top !!! Hahaha Thanks for the video !!

[@tooez90]

My dad is gonna be 81 this year...he's up everyday fixing or helping someone...keeps him young...outworks me some day..lol....glad to still have him around...bet you appreciate your dad also

[@openstationloggingkevinbak4625]

Nice he can come help. He is probably grinning from ear to ear . Thanks for keeping all our snow out there and kicking the storms south of us lol or north . We have about 10 inches here max but not much cold lots of mud in woods

[@kentrush8250]

You and your father produced an excellent snow video, I really enjoyed it. Keep safe and I will look forward to your next one.

[@rogersmart9380]

Great video , nice old cat, my d6d keeps on running also. Have a great year

[@scruffy6151]

Looking good on the dozer tell your dad thank you. Brings back good memories just like watching a skidder plow the roads and landing. Thank you David good video. Have a great day.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Never ran a skidder but I never was a logger either.

I'm 69 and still do that..... hope I'm still doing this in 10 years...... Very Satisfying, Very Fullfilling, 'Man-Thang'

[@adriannettlefold9084]

The old D6D is in good shape. They're great little work horses, I was on clean up pushing up fire piles that hadn't burnt properly with one. Hope I will sit be able to do what I enjoy when I reach Your Dad's age. I think it helps keep you young and healthy if you're out doing something meaningful.

I get all warm inside just watching this all day! Love dozers...

[@roberthernandez7981]

My Dad is 84 in April still works 40 hours a week housing authority

[@kalib20101]

Now that’s how it’s done. Keeping the snow away so you actually have room to work and move around in. Bugs me when people do half ass jobs then they wonder why things get stuck . Keep up the good work

[@chrisrobl9341]

I'm glad you still have time with your father and that he is well enough to go to work. Enjoy it as time is short. Thanks for the video Mr Dave.

[@SkidderKev]

Man your Dad loves running dozer! He is right at home running it. Pretty cool view of him making that second pass on that haul road.

[@robertwhitehead5946]

That was fun watching your dad on the "DOZER". God bless him @79.

[@ALSomthin]

A little leaf blower will usually get rid of show on parked equipment and vehicles pretty nicely. That depth of snow is totally a dozer job. Good thing you have one and a dad who likes to run it. My dad was the same way but he liked to shovel snow by hand till he was 87.

[@calraines6931]

Feeling a tad jealous. I'm 72 and still using a walker due to complications after heart surgery. I'm getting there though! Thanks Mr. Haley for dozen that trail, reminding us all that we can get after it. God bless!

Just go slow and HEAL, Cal. Just chug along. A chug beats nothing by a mile!

[@chuckwiegand4278]

Glad your dad can get out there and putz in the woods runnin equipment especially the dozers, the 6 is in good shape and pops off when ready

[@markreetz1001]

Dad looks good pushing that snow around. Glad to see him out and about.

These are the memories that you and he will always cherish. Great video.

US too!

[@makingithappen9722]

It looks cold and snowy. It's nice to have a cup of coffee ☕️ in a cozy sofa and look at it.

[@aldredske6197]

Hi Dave!!😀😀 Wow!! You are just about our of room to put the snow. Have you got over 3 feet of snow on the level?? Lucky you guys have the old 6 . Take care my friend!!😀😀❤

[@mikelatham146]

Nice work 👍👍👍 your dad makes it look so easy it’s obvious that he has a lot of hours doing that

[@sladeleason4338]

Ha ha three foot pile of snow across the road.......a dad's way of saying get to work... screwing around time over 🤣🤣

[@DR-vr1xl]

"At 79 he still likes to work." And may he be able to, as long as it brings him pleasure.

[@stuartroland9605]

Good day Mr. Haley .I realy like to see some one the same age as my self run a great peice of equipment .I know he is grining ear to ear just as I do when I am on my pulling tracto r . Hope to see more of your father on other videos .Take care .

[@mmccoy577]

I have always heard that D 6-D Cat dozer is one of the best dozers cat has ever made.

[@lewiemcneely9143]

I was always partial to a 'C' but it was usually 'tuned' on a little 1st. Kept the top of the stack pinholed BUT it's PUSH too!

[@incontruth4116]

You can spot a good dozer operator within the first ten seconds of watching them operate.

[@eddygoodwin7089]

this looks fun for sure thanks for putting this on the tube

[@kevinmcphail1329]

NICE.... venison sandwich, horseradish...and a cup of joe and your pop's ready to go....love it. If you have goals and purpose in life... regardless of age ... age takes a back seat to the goals set forth....it is work ethics...as your family knows...God Bless.

[@Brad1237202]

Thanks for the video David. Love Dads hat. Reminds me of my late grandfather.

[@wtfbuddy1]

Great Video - look at you sneaking in a video in the morning - Your Dad is a inspiration for those who love to drive a dozer. Blade is 40-44" inches and he is pushing about 5 feet depth of snow, good job. Hopefully you took him out for lunch after.

[@marksleeper3752]

I always loved to hear the 955 traxcivator my neighbor had the sound of the turbo also their D8 cat when they ran that they have a sound of their own

[@barnycanuck6234]

One thing I learned doing this kind of work in the bush, if your lunch is in a brown paper bag don’t leave it anywhere where there’s whisky jacks

[@lewiemcneely9143]

Great day had. A lot of what I did was square blading. 'U' blades with tilts(6-B's, 7-E's and 8-H's). A few like that (6-D's and 7-G's)with hydraulic tilts and some like that (4's, a 5 and 6-C) with manual tilts. And a 6-B with a 'U' blade with a foot tilt. You pay the light bill with whatever is sitting there that you can swipe before someone else comes to run it! Pop's not by hisself on running one of those but I'm not a big fan of suspended pedals and Deere steering BUT you pay the light bill with what's there. You can make a BIG snowman with Big chunks too! Who did you get to shoot that since you only work after dark! Just axing!

[@mic460396ify]

Gotta love it! My Dad 72 and still work harder then people Half his age!

[@jackmatranga2539]

I used to do that kind of grading. was a great stress reliever.

[@waltermattson5566]

Great video. My uncle used to work for Northern Engine. His job was picking up and delivering machine to people.

[@countrywoodsman7734]

Very good video, we all could learn a lot from Old School way of logging It's great to see your father running bulldozer.

[@RomeKG471]

You'll get more rolling action on your angle blade if you pitch it back more to where the back of the blade is straight up and down. And the blade will stay clean. Looks like you would have to extend the lower push braces to do it.

[@kennymysak2079]

The way he getting the landing done it will freeze up really good for you guys as well as the roads he getting it right down there. That's alot of snow to move. Keep up the great videos

[@karriefalon7779]

At his age with probably the hours of experience has on one he could probably turn the angle of his blade n minutes. I know a guy who at the time was just 27 years old he could turn hisvblade in less than 20 mins by himself. It is amazing how good cat skinners get and make it look so simple. Giggles being a driver, i remember my first time dropping and winching up my blade to move a old D7 just say the afternoon was a long one thank god was sumer. But i did learn in time ways to do it effortlessly and made hauling one simpler

[@stevenwescott1422]

Not only does he love it he's good at it too.

[@kennethmaki6145]

Very cool to see your dad still working hard my dad is 76 still working hard to👍excellent video

Cool to see your father out working still! About the same as my grandfather he’s about the same age as your dad and still works running his dozers and driving his ole r model Mack dump truck! What’s your father’s favorite to ru dozer or the 170? I had a starter do the same thing on my 648 a few weeks ago except I tried hitting the key about a hundred times and nothing but a couple of semi gentle taps on the starter with a hammer and it fired right up and been fine ever since

I d worry about those hoses getting damaged ? Maybe time to give that cab / dozer some attention in the spring . are those track running a touch loose ?

The hoses are where the operator comes in. And the tracks are a dab loose.
