DEERE 850K review

Anyone considering purchasing a new dozer - give the Deere 850K a look - nice machine

[@timmattison6553]

Nice dozer. You are correct in it's either cat or John deere. Komatsu is good and we have support in our area. We just did a demo this summer on the komatsu 51 Very nice machine.

Can I have fuel cap number. I need order one for my dozer..

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

What model dozer do you have?

[@jxg8932]

how much was it ????

[@richardjohnson7442]

Have you ever thought about putting GPS on it for grading?

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

I have ... that would be nice to have

[@sthdz2932]

Cat and jd the best!

I welded some 12 inch pieces of bucket cutting edge on the bottom of my ripper teeth so they are more like a cultivator sweep, I find I get a much better till per pass in the hard packed clay also most of the roadways and parking lots we build they want a 150mm lift of base gravel tilled into the top 150mm of clay and then packed to 100%. They also work well for tilling up the site after a rain shower then after a couple hours of sunshine you're back in business.

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Dwight Menzies .. that's a really good idea!

[@davidlamb6342]

Hey thanks for doing this video man. Extremely informative. Do you remember a few weeks ago when I asked you about my property and clearing the virgin soil? Do you think this JD 850k would be a good option, with a root rake (and root knife on the back) attached? Would it have enough power to do what I need done? The native vegetation is not real “rooty”, just native grasses and some creosote bush. No trees at all. imgur.com/cwTRWQK This crawler looks awesome. Thanks again for uploading it. Always learn a ton.

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Thank you for the picture - def. helps ... You may need a dozer in select area to get rid of the bigger "brushy" plants .. however, i still maintain a brush hog (rotary mower) to chew it up - followed by a heavy disk or plow will be your best bet

[@davidlamb6342]

BLACK EARTH EXCAVATION & TRENCHING, LLC thanks! What about using a ripper before the bigger plow?

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Possibly .. however, it may just plug with debris .... Grind up whats there (rotary mower) and bury / mix in the rest with a heavy disk or a plow

[@davidlamb6342]

BLACK EARTH EXCAVATION & TRENCHING, LLC ok thanks very much for your help and time. Good luck today at your place.

[@farmercole3246]

Thank you for the video.

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Farmer Cole thank you for watching

[@24bosoxfan]

can you review the volvo excavator sitting next to this dozer and your reasoning behind going with volvo? Thanks!

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Harrison .Potrzeba .. absolutely,I'll get it on the list of reviews to do... thanks for watching

Great channel subbed

[@robwar2288]

Looking at a 850. What is a hourly charge for a 850?

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

What letter designation? ..... for like an older C I would be 190 to 220 range ...new machine like an L - probably 250 ... rates have had to increase with the high price of fuel & repairs ... best of luck

[@robwar2288]

@@Blackearthexcavationandtiling K WLT 5,000 hrs on it

[@robwar2288]

Off Road here in PA is $5.80🙄👌🏻

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

@@robwar2288 that should push goof ... in our area of western Iowa- a machine like that would be 225 an hour or so ...maybe 250 an hour with a good operator....

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

@@robwar2288 that'd horrible ... might have to consider a surcharge or something to make it work ....

[@derrickzenner9300]

Love it

[@diamonddog257]

lovin' your Deeres..... -but how $$$ ??

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Thanks! ... a new 850K like it was about 345k

[@loganpressley2972]

Me and my dad are having a problem getting to the hydronic hoses for the blade and can’t find the access for it, we don’t wanna take the grill off because the radiator is connected do you have any ideas?

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Isn't there an access panel on the bottom side? I think those lines come in through the rh side of the belly .. probably have to drop front belly pan ...??

[@loganpressley2972]

Tried it and it was no where near the fittings

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

@@loganpressley2972 hmmm .. im not sure ... sorry I can't be of more help ..

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

Are you wanting access lift, tilt or angle hoses? .. I was thinking tilt .. but if you want lift - you'll have to raise rhe cab

[@michaelcahall183]

Round for round that 850K with a good operator will push circles around 2 D6’s side by side hands down, no questions asked!!!

[@Brian-gw6di]

What no Deere excavators???? 😁

[@Blackearthexcavationandtiling]

No, Volo perform better
