How to operate a Cat bulldozer (D7R)

A quick guide to running a bulldozer. Checkout my channel for more.

[@garyhopkinssr8561]

I've been running dozers for 45 years one thing I have learned is that you can always learn something new

[@kramnoslaw4474]

I've been running dozers for 25 yrs learn new things everyday 😅

[@chopboss]

I’ve been running an excavator for a year for a small drain, Plumbing, and waterproofing company and i really just want to become a full time excavator operator but idk how to go about doing that. I’m from Toronto Ontario

[@nomsambewe736]

4and5 years good thing 👋👋

[@gazof-the-north5708]

I've always thought the D7R was a Prized Stallion in the Dozer world. Its not small but nor is it too big. The engine has a lovely purr to it.

[@kenneththompson6543]

Love the explanation 👌

[@emmanuelchukwuma773]

You thought Me what I have been looking for for years.

[@MrCrashsystem]

I watch this video because between pandemics, global crisis and war you never know when a zombie apocalypse can occur and a buldozzer can always come in handy. always better to be prepared 🤣🤣

[@lewissuckling]

And maybe a vibrating roller

[@comrade-uj5iy]

Sat in a cat 980, watching cat videos. Love sundays

[@admirable_d5609]

Hey bro great intro... I used to operate those D7, D6 and D8. Now I mostly operate the D5 K which is pretty cool for fine grading and finishing works. ❤️

[@michaelmangino9819]

D7R was my Fav, to push with. Ran a 8more but the 7R was pimp back in 2004

[@clarencecrowcarter]

Make more videos bro. You are really good at it.

[@mostlydiggers]

[@randyleonard4126]

It's funny..I've operated Cat dozers old & new..However,the past few years I've been bouncing from alot of Komatsu,Deere & Dresser dozers..If I had to climb back in a Cat again "& I'm sure I will be",I'll be like,whats this switch do,whats that switch do 😂 🤣🤣😭😭

Merci

Tnx

[@Nananggenzer]

👍👍

[@ronniewilliz153]

Thats different then a d6 lol or d4 or d5 or different from a Deere 650 or 700lgp I think the high tracks are different controls as well but the controls are in the same position an sides tho. Just different style handles

[@CodyDyckEngines]

Our D6T, D7R(s), and D8R all have these same controls, all high tracks. The D5H is a high track, but a little bit different and 3 and 4 are entirely different machines.

[@phillipmoore6295]

Yeah so, not all machine controls are the same. That control is called a "tiller" control. Used to "operate" the machine, not drive it. But yo can also get (newer) machines with "standard " controls. Which would be two steering clutches. Or, "fingertip " controls, which has two small flat toggles that you press (with your fingers) to steer. If you go back a little in time. Bulldozers had two steering clutches and two brakes. If you go back even further in time. They had two steering clutches, two brakes, and two pedal clutches. Further still, add a "Johnson bar" to engage and disengage the transmission. I have Operated all of these machines. They all have to be operated differently, depending on circumstances. Especially when turning going down a steep grade. Personally I like the tiller control the best. My D9R with tiller control and ripper. Could spin like a top, if I wanted it to. No other control allows you to spin the tracks in the opposite direction. Peace. IUOE Local 15, 38yrs ret.

new to bulldozing

[@amadiikechi4828]

[@d5ncat227]

Sorry, you don't drive you operate 😎

[@AndrewReed-wz9xj]

Easy peasy to oparate by looks of it my freind give me a go lol 👌👌👌👌👌😁

[@Indeewoods]

A D7R has good pushing power but it doesn’t matter if it’s a D7,D10 or D11 with a full blade sometimes the you squeeze the controls and push your feet into the floor wanting and hoping for more power lol

[@CodyDyckEngines]

Haha with your teeth clenched hoping it doesn’t break traction so you don’t have to back up and take another run

[@glendyck7846]

Operated 977 mostly for 18 years and I found that I was always looking to squeeze every bit of power out of it. Great machine to run.

[@philmckrakin6752]

😂 hear ya

[@gusplaer]

What I'd like to know is, why do some manufacturers tend to put an ungodly amount of stuff, cylinders, 2 extra ft tall of hood above the engine and giant dashes and smoke stack right in front of your forward line of sight, while some other manufacturers have a more curved and slopped hood, smaller shorter dash area, and cylinders that ride off to the side? Are the engineers brain dead? Or do they think it's funny or what?

[@ClaytonWillisMusic]

Wheres the rest

[@cooperdanieltherancher]

[@scrappiron6307]

Nope to kamatsu

[@amadiikechi4828]

Operate

[@shmotheslowmo7228]

Torque converter.. it looks to be hydrostatic drive

[@CodyDyckEngines]

The forward and reverse are mechanical drive. It does however have hydraulic drive motors that spin the pinion gears in the differential to steer. That’s why you need high RPM to steer. In this application (the D7), hydraulic drive wouldn’t have enough torque, much like climbing a hill with a combine.

[@aaronsharp8857]

First off its operate not drive, and anyone can operate a dozer its knowing what to do with it.

[@aaronellis5847]

Bro you don’t drive any machine. Ain’t no operator

[@ertugruleren4446]

Makinayı qüzel anlatıyonda la qardaş içi çok pis insan bi bez ile üstpüyle temizler.. ASLAN YATTIĞI YERDEN BELLİ OLUR. Beğenmedim. Makinanın içini..

[@SergioSanchez-rx1hg]

Dirty ass cab lol can’t believe people work like that

[@CodyDyckEngines]

Trust me, it was one of my biggest pet peeves. But at the time I filmed the video we ran a split shift sharing equipment, and you probably can guess how the old guy on the other shift responded when I'd bring it up
