Dozer Working on a Steep Slope

[@DieselandIron]

I've always been impressed with how well those Komatsu's push. I ran one for awhile on an airport project and really enjoyed that machine.

[@Thehoelogdog]

nice work. good little machine also. When I am doing side hills, I know I am real close to a 2 to 1 slope because the back will slipp a bit. They stick well to it. A 2 to 1 is about 26.3 percent. It has the pucker factor elevated and yes it gets exciting when they slide down the hill doesn't it. But nice slopes.

[@letsdig18]

@sgtsahara that was a pretty steep slope, I'm not sure what degree they will flip at but I know this one will side sideways down the hill before it will flip. I've slid down a 50' hill sideways before, that was a ride!

[@TheBaskerwille]

Very nice job ! Fine operating. I wish I had more hands, so I could give that operating 4 thumbs up !

[@uncledave692002]

im a finish dozer operater and i have been on 125 ft tall slopes on a narrow track d5 and it stayied pretty good. I love slope work its just so exciting to me and i have ran a komatsu 39 and it was a sweet finish tractor but if i had to choose i would want a 650 jd Lgp

[@chrdub89]

We cut slopes alot at my job. I love doing them just not sliding around in the seat lol nice video

[@garydumoulin6318]

I love watching these videos so that i can learn techniques but I don't think I have the balls to work my little 420c on a grade like that.Good video.

[@Flyboy207]

Yesterday was my first real day running the D8H at work, I was way up a hill in the quarry cutting a notch looking for rock. My boss told me that cat will cut a 2:1 just fine, but my pants were already brown from the little slope I had worked! Wouldn’t have scared me so much on the ground like this, but if I rolled it was a 500 foot tumble to the quarry floor.

[@jimbutowski5163]

when someone makes it look that easy you know he has skill.I took a three month course operating heavy equipment, for me the tracter and grader were tough as hell....I still passed though.

[@MichaelBouzakine]

Awesome video, and sweet operating!

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Excellent vid and dozing Chris!! Great outside camera view for this vid. It didnt look like that steep of a grade until you got close on that first pass and then damn! That was steep! That Komatsu holds the ground very well. I tried to look up the spec for maximum sideways grade for this machine, but couldnt find it. Haha, ya know me. Again, great work!

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

It ain't the slide it's the stop....had a deere 350 on one track after doing a 270 down a hill. trees cut off @ the ground with wet leaves on top. Still trying to figure out how to sell it for an amusement ride. Good operating as always.

[@dirtartist1]

well, personal opinion. It's not only how badass the operator is it has alot to do with the type of working on

[@therichesthobo1]

Good job keeping your dozer on and angle, keeps it from flipping much better

[@pelagic6]

With these things, it slips before it tips.

[@tewiginton1s]

Wish the ponds I've dug were that easy. Usually takes us a week to get the dam and spillway in plus c and g and grading the banks out

[@robert1330.]

Doing a great job

[@lj2729]

your operating is fine no flaws at all good job

[@jaymiesanders2035]

That's not at all bad thats pretty much bullshit slope. That's pretty funny!!

[@bozoone4464]

Bunch of haters. Enjoyed the video.

[@EcotecUSA]

These Komatsus are great tractors, but the parts problem is terrible! I am currently waiting for a fan-mount and pulley assembly that is estimated to take 140 days to get from Japan, and will cost over $1,100.00 I had six-way swivel block go out on a D31-A that was a wait of 120 days and a cost $5,000.00 plus shipping. I love the tractors, but I will never buy another one.

[@waltersondermann5271]

Top Driver, Spezialist !!

[@hvy1ton]

@letsdig18 Just as long the downhill track doesn't catch a rock or stump. The D39 was taking a big bite on the first pass, nice.

[@jjsoom4665]

Chris I'm building a small pond with a d4d how deep should i go

[@letsdig18]

@powerballlin whats wrong with my operating?

[@ktm2smokers337]

Hey hologdog a 2 to 1 slope is 50 percent. 4 to 1 is 25 percent

[@tonyaasher4910]

Under mining your toe of slope is what will cause u to flip.

[@davidwillard7334]

STEEP !! SLOPE !! ??? TRY !! CLIFF !! EDGE !! NEXT !! TIME !!

[@kolsche]

Nothing, good operator....smooth slope, no wash boards from cutting too much. Moves fast and efficiently ..............what more do you want. Good hand. Doesn't matter how big or how small, it is scaleable...........I have seen too many 10 operators that do not know how to effciently use their machines..........they have a 10, and they want an 11.......

[@RJM159]

Did you change your pants after that?

[@ЮраБей-к8й]

Офигеть, наш уже бы разбулся на таком уклоне.

[@antonioruizrocha1286]

If was steep dozer will not be able to ride on slopes . It will on a 3 to 1 slope

[@MrJohnjake]

lol you were sliding like crazy

[@mbulu6351]

Inside the cab video are the ones i 👍

[@KMAFarms]

Not a damn thang when it comes to construction but when it comes to forklifts its a little different story.lol

[@kidthing1119]

bawls, you got em

[@gidrozin]

5 stars for the risk!But i would just use a excavator to grade of the slopes.

[@shitloveaduck]

Razor Wire - I hear ya but in 3.5 minutes?? Nope. Haha

[@fishproet]

is this for the pond?

[@leelove2017]

Not bad for a green horn

[@ahsaniqbala4931]

Nice work and good apretor

[@ЕЛКОРДОБЭСТОРЕРО]

Damages all tractor undercarriage. Another method or a motorgrader would be better options

[@gregwitkamp5583]

nice just a little hard on the under carriage

[@kansaskid6969]

@sgtsahara most dosers wont flip over they will slide first.

[@rickgoddard6925]

Little bit of track ski

[@taylorluttmer2111]

Lol not steep at all

[@phildees9058]

Steep you flatlanders are funny!

[@codyp414]

buddy two words: slope board

[@digger321b]

thats always fun when that happens

[@jeremynelson9621]

That's not that steep. Just did a slope that was 37 percent. Good job though looks clean for that type of material.

[@tadrikwiens]

nicely done, 2-1?

Not steep? Looks steep to me. Good job

[@dillhan98]

fill pond 5 feet deep it will fill up over time

[@stevenengel3605]

That’s not anything crazy at all lol. The dozer is wider than the entire slope itself. Haha😂

[@scrapercaterillar]

How much time do you have? You started too low when trying to blend the slope. You could have and should have started a bit higher.

[@sasop117]

@powerballlin i thought he made a nice job of it

[@wilmamcdermott3065]

Do that with cat and scraper

[@cristianbarrarios2257]

buena estabilidad el komatsu. yo trabaje un cat d6 muy buenas maquinas saludos desde chile

[@unclestinkyfinger]

Yeah, the slope looks nice, but it's not steep. That's no better than a 3:1. Little toy dozer like that could handle a 2:1 or better in good dirt. Good job for what you got though.

[@joshfriend7103]

I see the dozer and the slope, but am still looking for the steep slope.

[@charleisi6935]

get a road grader

No the dozer tipping over at 95degree i got a 6f steep and 10f -4f-1f slope give to a machine 80degree

you call that steep lol !!!

Not a finish grader by far is he..........I would say he is running that dozer, not operating it

+daniel “doesmasherdale” hartsell so you can tell all this from a 3 minute video of knocking a edge down some?

[@thetree3402]

yeah, because i have operated equipment for over 20 years, an operator has an ability to do what he was doing without those......whooptie doos, if you operate then you know what that term means.

[@letsdig18]

+daniel “doesmasherdale” hartsell a operator should also be able know that a lgp dozer does not cut hard clay very good at first either

[@saveamerica8460]

Yeah this dude is not an operator..... Cant even cut a bank right with a six way blade! lol If that dozer had a loose track he would have thrown it.

[@Brian-mc4pd]

@ the tree. And 20 yrs operating makes you know everything? Man guys like you are a big joke. The kind that love to run their mouth until somebody else shuts them up, easily . Heres hoping we run into each other tough guy. Letsdig18 - all your vids are good for everybody, experienced or not.
