Caterpillar D11R Dozer - Behind The Levers

[@AwesomeEarthmovers]

Great video, it's the big stuff everybody likes to see.

[@diggersanddozers]

It is probably silly to have a favourite machine, but this is mine!

[@efrenhernandez2134]

lol I always tell the new operators the most important thing in these dozers are the radio jokingly. Very true, Nothing beats a Caterpillar tractor!

[@andrewtoyotarees1379]

Stokey had cat 2 D 10 working in Merthyr Tydfil in the 1990,s for Wimpey mineing removing the old white tip or the Whitney,as the locals called it, I'd never seen a d10 before,only do 9,s ,i spent many hours watching it strut its stuff,over the year or so they were on site, made a few great videos of it,on a warm July day, but I,'ve lost the tapes, a Guy called Joe Houston worked on site, i met him a few yrs back, but think he,s retired now, promised him a copy of the film.I was very proud of it at, the time.

[@FAS1948]

The last time I drove a Cat dozer, the company had one computer; now the machines have onboard computers. How the world has changed!

[@eamonmcdonnell8275]

Great little video of you sharing your knowledge. I can tell you are a gent, and I feel the Love. Well done, and safe working!

[@jorgekazachek6514]

is a really great toy!! I operate a D10R many years ago over 45.000hours never broken that monster!! CAT is a king of the heavy equipment

[@alexandergrayson2428]

That's not an oil cooler (@2:00) my friend, that your A/C condenser, all the Oil coolers in the D11n d11R and d11t are the Oil to water type. I haven't been lucky enough to run a d11R or D11T, but have run D11Ns and the 84W D10s all impressive big machines.

[@MICKSHRED]

Alexander Grayson whays the difference between those letters?

[@twanx1]

All well and good, but can you still heat a tin of beans wired to the exhaust on it.

[@ChristopherPaulBacon-m2l]

That's what I'm talkin about! My dad always talked about how my grandpa would cook Bush's baked beans on the dozer.

[@The_blindpizzaguy1300]

I love any D11 but probably my favorite model is the T-Model

[@diggersanddozers]

Thanks Lou; we're quite proud if this one - And at least I am not in it wearing some dodgy bow tie!!

[@brock807]

diggersanddozers it's torque converter oil temp not engine oil

[@brucewerner6023]

I didn't notice him saying anything about "TEMP"S", he just said gauges--not what it did. I guess I enjoyed this operators sense of humor the best--and his humility. I bet he gets many extra hours of life out of that baby due to his diligence and care. The owner is a lucky man.

[@timventers742]

Nice work mate.Thats humble operating experience.well explained.beets listening to a Canuk.Operating Dozers does become part of your DNA after a while.Cats are by far the machine of choice for most Contractors without a shadow of a doubt.While the Rs getting a bit long in the tooth, in the hands of a good operator its still up there.

[@mattnorton4111]

i love that man. nothing beats a cat

[@rikkibobby8762]

Matt Norton you love men?

[@yammyharrone]

If I were hosting a KZbin video in my machine I'd take all those fruit label stickers off the pillar there. Lol!

[@460V8]

Wouldt love to work with that sometime.

[@framfull]

Is banana stickers optional?

[@louisecarney9564]

That has made my day! Well done Mark - very good indeed!

[@plutonium9]

In terms of quality and maintenance costs, how does Caterpillar compare to Liebherr and Komatsu?

[@TheIrongutz]

I run both the brand new CAT D11T and New Komatsu 475A equivalent. I can tell you no one wants to run the Komatsu at our site. They are rough, do not back up the steep stuff, don't like being on their sides when side cutting, poor flat track design, get stuck much easier, not as user friendly with poor stick steering control vs. CAT finger paddle steering and have too low 1st gear and too high second gear. The CAT outperforms in every situation hands down! Problem at our site is poor availability of CAT parts and poor service by Finning CAT and are waaaay more expensive to purchase. Mines are cutting costs by going Komatsu with initial purchase but they lose money on less production in real world mining. I rate the Komatsu product as 6 out of 10 vs. 9 out of 10 for CAT. I'd love to try the new Lieber

[@ChristianHebenstreit-j8u]

And what about a LIEBHERR PR 776? It is made in Austria ( Not Australia!).

[@dozer1642]

The oil cooler looks a lot like an A/C condenser.

[@patrickbolin6569]

That is an ac condenser. Guy knows the machine buy what he read in the operation book behind the seat is all

[@RRaucina]

Usually the condenser is in front of the oil cooler and or the radiator. [First in the incoming air stream] Hydraulic Oil coolers are typically in the airstream after the radiator. This rig likely has a transmission oil cooler somewhere also. So get out your repair manual to figure it out. The op manual is unlikely to discuss this.

[@magnatron7734]

[@andrewtoyotarees1379]

Stokey had 2 D 10 dozens moving an old slag heap in Merthyr Tydfil subbing to Wimpey mining first time I had seen a D10 , in 1994 I filmed working but can't find the tape

[@LOSTTHEWILL]

Andrewtoyota Rees i have pictures of stokesy d10s on that job

[@evanMCCallister121]

I haven't driven a d11 but i have been able to drive a d10 and it was very awesome

[@rapidfury1387]

Matt Norton NOTHING NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT CAT ..........PS a GoPro with a mount and a dozer is a perfect match

[@L3GHO5T]

From my experience: when you’re running an 11, it’s such a behemoth it feels like it rotates the earth beneath it when you’re pushing.

[@catdieselpower193]

great vid pard! she's a beeutee and good feller to discuss it to! thanks!

[@FernandoPereira-ed3qo]

According to all the lil' blue sticker's on the post between the windows at 2:31, looks somebody likes banana's🙊🍌

[@jimdorman1550]

How's about A/C condenser?

[@Teddy_Bass]

Top Video

[@wazza33racer]

the biggest concentrated population of D11's in the world is Mackay Queensland, Australia.

[@tonithompson9086]

How many hours do the engines last?

[@stressbelden5869]

Yea....but is it easy to parallel park?

[@jrea424]

Stress Belden you just park it where you want.. nobody will argue

[@cbmech2563]

An 11 is the elephant in the elevator. It parks anywhere It wants. 🙂

[@davidbagley1783]

Aloha..great video ..I used to own a DC 6 swing 1969 blade..logging

[@qatommy]

Matilda at Croxden Quarry I do believe. Not seen her in 8 or 9 years......

[@15scale]

Does it have a/c ?

[@JoseSilva-in7ok]

[@geezer652]

"Air-Conditioner what the hell, boy! Open the goddamned window" Bosses words, not mine.

[@51-FS]

No... they took it out for a oil cooler

[@iancraig1951]

Not quite the 100 tons of dead pull--the biggest Komatsu is around 180 tons dead pull.. There is no comparison..

[@wrenchtheroo6557]

Ian Craig i saw on a d11t chart it has a max drawbar pull of 150 tons

[@lottsalasagna431]

Is that 16 tons or 16 tunes

[@geezer652]

Should be named "Tennessee Ernie" . You might understand that reference. Unless you're a millennial. And if you're a millennial, What are you doing on this page?

[@Inboundbogie]

they equip these with Aircon don't they?

[@cletusspuckler2243]

A lot of equipment have air conditionning nowdays , some of them have radio/cd player sets too . I work as a mechanic in a rental company ( whe rent Manitou telescopic forklifts ) ,the new ones have an AC unit a car stereo radio CD player and the operator seat is comfy as my minivan seats are .

Somebody driving a machine that many years should know how to clean the tracks. Seriousely dude, clean your machine!

[@joelaranafragoso4661]

Qué hequipo más poderoso, un saludo

[@todlindley8101]

I'd have thought an 11 would push waay more than 60-70 ton !

[@thepizzadevil7392]

+Tod Lindley it can, a dozer can push its own weight- in this case 110 ton+

[@matthewduff6894]

lol more like 7-800 metric ton on a 2/1 slope feeding pc 8000 or p&h 4100 boss and no they dont break easy thats why cat d11s are the best

[@cbmech2563]

40 yards times 3,000lbs is 60 tons. The u blade will roll about 40 yards . Anything beyond 60 tons depends on how big it is and how good the traction is.

[@jay71512]

i remember seeing a d10 on a flat bed being pulled past the end of my street and thought holy shit wtf is that monster lol

[@scdevon]

That's good American made stuff. Quite durable considering the abuse it gets put through.

[@wrenchtheroo6557]

scdevon wouldnt be that sure. Whole undercarriage was destroyed after 2600hrs on a d3k with system one

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

wow...£100k for a refit.... cool video...thank for sharing

[@frankie657]

What do expect for 4 pounds an hour

[@benburra6655]

That was the AC Condenser

[@TheIrongutz]

You pointed to the trans torque converter temp not engine oil but you are forgiven

[@snakehayseed1732]

You can get that job done with a TD 40 dresser it might take 2x longer but it runs it mite smoke 🦴

[@raycity1234]

One can see it's not the first day on the job for the operator.

[@turboslag]

£100K per year chassis rebuild!! Fookin heck!

[@davidfoster7725]

turboslag just think how much those machines make the companies that own them if they are willing to shell out that kind of money to rebuild them.

[@Compactmechanic]

turboslag as someone who does undercarriages (nothing this big) but on D8s, its alot of hard work refurbing one as well. Hardest thing to me personally is getting track split or getting idlers loose.

[@MrMyboymax]

This is a certain dealers ( yes only a dealer!) price. I have personally seen them do a whole d6 by hand, not 1 air tool!!! Must have had just more than tracks, rollers, idlers.

[@isoownu]

Make your laborer clean them rollers with a shovel

[@alphasxsignal]

Doesn't last long sounds like.

[@graderman12h34]

[@geezer652]

Don't like these "side-saddle" things. They just don't feel right. Give me a proper flat track where I sit centered with steering clutch levers coming out of the dash. These "new-fangled" high-track things are just some college-boy engineers idea about what ought to be. They don't have a clue. And never will.

Why will the undercarriage need done again in one years time?

[@chrisw5436]

As a former Cat mechanic some customers operate the machines 24/7 and rebuild of components happen sooner.

They don't make one that big...

[@wrenchtheroo6557]

stralais99 the PR776 is the size of a D10

[@stralais99]

I know , I operate one...... they don't make one D11 size , hence my comment.
