Wow, there's some solid gold content in some of these old videos. That's some serious skill grading such a steep slope with what effectively has an uphill curve. I wonder how old Chris was in 2011? At the risk of offending him, I'll guess early twenties. That's impressive.

That looks like more than a 26° to me, which is 2:1 I'd say closer to 35°. Most small dozers start to slide slip at about 40°... on compacted surfaces of course.

steep slope, work from bottom up rather than top down.
@Simple_Worship_Guitar Жыл бұрын
I think he’s working from the top down so he can keep the bottom side of the blade a bit higher, making what he’s tracking on, be not quite as steep. I’d think if you did that from the bottom, you’d have to dig into what’s above, and make your next pass too steep. But I’ve only sloped up/down. So I can’t say for sure

@@WoodCutr1 No way. It is 2 horizontal to 1 vertical (27 degree slope) as the OP indicated. You are saying 1 horizontal to 2 vertical (a 0.5:1 slope) which would be 63-degree slope and not possible to grade like this. It looks maybe a little steeper than 2:1, but it could be the camera angle.

How much grade can a dozer take before it will turn over sideways? I run a D10 and have always sloped up/down because I know I’m safest with the tracks up and down. Had a buddy flip a dozer sideways and broke a couple of ribs..Said he finally found how steep you can be sideways before it flips…I don’t want to find out like he did. Lol
@brandonk770 Жыл бұрын
2:1 is about 48-50% and it starts sliding a little in the D6N without some windrow holding you on, cut at angles up or down. Unless a big enough cut to hold you on. If that makes sense

@pillaryclinton61873 жыл бұрын
Experienced dozer hands don't back drag anything. The blade is meant for pushing forward. The only time you really should back drag is if you have to pull material away from an area and have no other means of doing so. Some people try to back drag finish work but will be made fun of. If you do back drag make sure it's a little bit of material it's not heavy material and probably float the blade.

I'd have to agree, it's harder then it looks, been doing it for 25 years now and still learning, as creeper89 says take smaller bites and don't panic, try not to over react when it starts to bite by grabbing a whole lot of lever, it's all about being smooth. D5's are very short and do bite a bit and harder to operate the some of the bigger stuff.
