D9G Brings Down 20 Foot High Wall

[@pi1797]

D9 doing some real grunt work. That D9 is smooth. Almost like a lullaby.

[@gprend69]

Got you beat just a little on tires. Bought my then brand new 3/4 ton Dodge Power Wagon in April 1973. This year I bought another new set of four tires (rims and off-road) and they gave me a fifth set free. When I lowered my spare, guess what. It's the original split rim 7.50 x 16 x 33 M&S spare tire! Been hanging there for 51 years...and still had 45 pounds of air. Never been on the road. I kept it. Ha

[@mdtransmissionspecialties]

My 73 F100 had the original as well! Still has air in it lol.

[@nanettebarling1222]

Being a retired 623e operator I'm jonesing to get back in the seat. Lol but only for about an hours worth of running. I would be ready for a nap then. 😂 Great video! That gravel would have been fun diving off with a pair of "37's" or "57's". Happy Trails!

[@JB-D8Ktv]

Loved the beginning of the video where you first broke over the edge and the top of the wall caved off. That was a great camera angle. Glad you finished it off safe and sound. Nice work as always. 👍🏼

[@Angus762]

Jolly well done with camera angles,Jeff. A really awsome veiw . The D9 is a brute .

[@dandolence2472]

Boy that looks like a good place to park a crusher for a while good looking pit run. Good video makes a nice birthday present for me 🎉 . Thanks

[@mischef18]

Great video as always bro, that gravel is sure packed tight. Safe travels. Ken.

[@richardhoneywell7411]

Great video Jeff watching you push the dirt or gravel off the top of that ridge kinda a nail bitter. But you got it done thanks for sharing stay safe Jeff.

[@richardlincoln8438]

Pretty satisfying to see You push down the pit wall. Glad that You are enjoying the new seat cushions Jeff. Best Wishes to everyone at Anderson Construction, their Families and Friends. #110500

[@1waukesha]

Great Job Sir! Glad you mentioned the Cat glow plugs being junk. Im currently working on a 594 pipe layer and I got three that are an issue. One is missing the tip, one is snapped off and one is stuck but not currently broke off ( yet anyway). Most likely Ill be changing pre chambers tho.

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

You be giving me flashbacks riding in an open cab backhoe in a dust storm with palm tree branches snacking me. Nothing like seeing a wall of dust moving violently towards you with no options of cover.

[@mikes7639]

Must be a great feeling starting and driving the killed dozer knowing any monies made goes to you and not to the bank . Thats a big win nice going

[@mikeburgess7331]

That U-dozer makes quick work of that gravel!

[@JD-zm4eh]

Looking smokey outside almost as smokey as here in Oregon. That time of year again wildfire season. Freaky, going off the edge would not be a good day. As a pro like yourself Jeff you would never have that problem. Jeff wins again.

[@catman11o]

Love watch the D9 work! Would love to come visit with you, and maybe run one of those 37’s

[@nanettebarling1222]

I'll go!!

[@bammersmith5993]

That slot dozing works out really good especially with the type of carrying blade you have.

[@Fatamus]

Satisfying, relaxing, YAWN 🥱 tranquil, Slernfph mummble YAWN 😴 💤 So satisfying, the 9’s sound is so soothing it puts me to sleep. Great video 9 hours of Jeff 🤔 Will you be fighting Orcs n Gremlins or maybe ghouls n witches?

[@billmoran3812]

Never liked pushing off a cliff like that. Scary. That new blade is doing a great job for you. Leaves very little windrows on a cleanup pass.

[@Jpaydirt]

You got that right!

[@shawndoyle7531]

I love how you can see the exact moment Jeff shits his pants and then it turned into "that was cool, do it again!" 😂

[@hoss1905]

Looks like nice pit run gravel😊

[@VinniePepperoni]

Man that edge was making me clinch big time when you were running along it at your right side

[@johnsweet8410]

I dig it Jeff! I love your transport set up. It’s the set up I would really like. Do you know what your weights are with a 37 on the 8 axle? I used to haul them on a baby 9 set up (all 4 tire axles) and it weighed out pretty nice

[@Jpaydirt]

I don't haul the 37's on it much anymore as I have a Jeep Dolly setup for the scrapers, but I think I'm around 108 with the non push pull unit

[@frankryder9325]

Good Job Geoff you Win again !!

[@tonymidkiff2108]

I think that is my favorite shot of the black smoke from kill dozer when this video started

[@Military-Museum-LP]

The Nine seems to be smoking a little more than usual. Is there a problem with the switch blade turbo Jeff?

[@Jpaydirt]

go back and watch the videos before the switch blade

[@grandpajim329]

THANKS JEFF, always game for the ride-along. ????? Is there any way to shim the drive links to align those drive sprockets????? 1/2 inch is mighty wide though????? GOD BLESS !! 😍😍😍😍😍🙏🏻

[@Jpaydirt]

sprocket hub is bent, so it'll have to be replaced

[@Jack_Rabbit71]

So how high did the pucker factometer get to on that undercut highwall Jeff?

[@agviator]

The geology of Idaho is pretty amazing to me.

[@watchthe1369]

It looks like the first 4 blade loads are the most dab gerous? After that you have enough slope filled in and a slip would be more like a toboggan run if you went too far.

[@MDoodie11B1P]

With the exception of the shaft how do the repairs feel ?

[@joepiker]

My pump on my transfer tank wasn't pumping ( I thought I was out of fuel). Turns out the suction pipe had fallen off in the tank. It was epoxied onto a nipple that was threaded into the pump body. I just put a threaded pipe into the pump head and that fixed it. I always though 'Fillrite" was the good stuff...think again!

[@sharonfieber6458]

Running D9 in the day said "big operation." Old Cat dash hole from pup start era. D7 was an ordinary cat. D8 was big Cat. D9 said 😊monster, D9G was new!

[@nanettebarling1222]

Seems like my days too! Oh, and what the heck is DEF! 😂

[@lorenmorelli9249]

Nice Pit!! - Definitely "Pay Dirt" 👌

[@segomatu7063]

Salut Jeff ! As a french man, maybe I missed something in this "story", but what's the purpose of this job ? Such efforts and so much fuel consumption to slope these gravel walls, what for ? Merci !

[@Jpaydirt]

it's a gravel pit, they over dug it , stopping at the non stripped area and leaving some dirt on the edges I couldn't get, we have a regulatory agency here called MSHA (mine safety health administration) and a vertical wall like this is a no no, so I stripped the topsoil off and then pushed the wall down for safer removal of the gravel, they will be crushing some of it and at that point a MSHA person will probably come by

[@segomatu7063]

@@Jpaydirt Ok merci , now it's more clear ! Bonne soirée, cause here it's about dinner time !

[@d6c10k4]

Where I live, a hole like that would have 15' of water in it and would never drain.

[@njonebale7889]

What size cat engine is in D9?…..thought you were fixing the crane to pull the engine and rebuild it?…..I get it you just did the undercarriage and you got to work it to pay you back….was just curious!

[@amunderdog]

21:07 - Remember when it was no trouble buy dynamite?

[@localcrew]

Those old tires are tempting but they seldom work out once you put them in service. Trust me on this.

[@williampankratz600]

That material deposit has likely been there since the last ice age however many thousands of years ago that was And that original spare tire is now a NEW OLD STOCK vintage original tire and wheel,,,,,,,,,,, million bucks ,,,,,,,,,,,

[@alwatts3778]

Would it not have been prudent for them to have stripped off the dirt well in front of the high wall?

[@Jpaydirt]

Yes

[@edelm6062]

Just think about how many years that gravel has laid there, no wonder its hard to push.

[@kevingilbert9695]

Big sandbox big toy🤘

[@BobbyBrown-yz3pw]

If you do things the right way you can’t screw people by selling people a bunch of dirt with the rock they paid for!!

[@cyberhornthedragon]

ill bet theres a good amount of pucker factor pushin that high wall down

[@samgiles410]

Try leaving your super dodge running, while pumping fuel. Usually makes the pump run better for me

[@rw3dog]

Bummer on the 1/2” bend there :(

@@Jpaydirt I agree, it’s garbage for sure I’ve got no excuse to not run older equipment. Other than when I started. I didn’t have time to work on it to get a machine in good usable condition looking back now I wish I would’ve, I still might. Lol

Very nice that msha didn't get ahold of the pit operator, could have been nasty

[@Jpaydirt]

they generally don't show up until there's a crusher (aka ticket generator) that comes in as they have to notify them of where they are

[@jetfixer3207]

I've watched you do a lot of dozing on these videos and just thought to myself "all in a days work" but I have to admit, despite the fact you posted the videos which means nothing bad happened, watching you push off that 20 foot sheer rock wall made me really uncomfortable.
