If I wanted an advertisement I would have gone to the manufacturer's site. You can do better...

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

Just need financial support and loan financing. LoL.

[@steveashworth6707]

I operated excavators for 46 years although komatsu builds some decent excavators that are operator friendly ill take a CAT any day of the week over a komatsu!.

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

How did you get started? Do you have to go to a specialist school?

[@steveashworth6707]

No I was lucky enough to have a nack for running equipment. But the international union of operating engineers has training sites in all 50 states and some companies here in Ohio will hire you as a trainee and work you as they train you and the union is OK with that!. To have good retirement and hospitalized joining the union is the way to go!. They need operators in the worst way in Ohio!.

[@michaelfarmer]

What factors in your choice over komatsu equipment. Brand loyalty? Ease of use? Dependability?

[@NickGj-k7v]

Huge energy needed on every step until ORE is processed and produce metals. These "monster" machines are beneficial, but may consume more than 20 liter diesel per every tonne ore. Correct me if I am wrong. if so then every day will be consumed some hundreds barrel with diesel.

[@NaTech94]

*I appreciate the detailed explanation of EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and other engine components. This is fantastic! Looking forward to more content like this*

[@leighchamberlain25]

That was a pretty good video mate but can I ask a favour please consider 98% of the world that uses metric instead of Imperial American

[@jayjones6904]

But he's American you can figure it out brother

[@conmanumber1]

Americans invented Industry and the industrial standard leading to these machines. Thats the standard. Its not like the useless British or English invented the Tracklayer, Automobile, truck or aircraft. Without Americans the rest world would still be in the stone and grass skirt age.

[@jitendrasikarwar5398]

I like how they explain the working of EGR ( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) & other parts of engine that's great Want more like that

[@LordGizmo]

Thank you, on the way

[@davefleming1117]

Nothing comes close to the D11. Period. The record of these machines speaks for itself. I ran a 86 D10 for yrs. Thr predecessor of the D11N. Ran a D11 N short time... the CATS are just built to last. The old 992C was a workhorse as well... they just keep running when the Komatsu is in the shop. No comparison. CAT all the way for mining and heavy duty bull work

[@AbhisarRawat]

i don't know much about construction and mining but from what i have read and seen, Komatsu bulldozers vs American bulldozers are exact antithesis of American Vs Japanese cars in terms of reliability, quality and efficiency which is quite surprising

[@TAllyn-qr3io]

I retired from the Army (was a 52E, prime power production) and was hired by a very large international diesel corporation as a field service technician. We marinized large to huge Komatsu engines for use in large marine propulsion/generator applications. From catamaran ocean ferries, MY’s, generators on the north slope to shrimp farms in Belize. Komatsu engines perform excellently and fairly easy to work on. Worked on MAN’s , Detroit Diesel, ONAN, Yanmar. Caterpillar’s and I enjoy Komatsu blocks. Never worked on any with a transmission, drive line or wheels but, with a generator end or marine gearbox, they are top of the line.

[@orlandorojo-bc5sf]

Excavators are the surgical tools of construction, precision digging and shaping the landscape.

[@TomokosEnterprize]

Before I retired I ran 2 of Komatsu's smaller dozers. The D85 and D65. I found the two (one on either side) controls for travel and blade controls friendly for the operator and as I am a HD mechanic found them both friendly to service or repair. As I understand the larger machines are the same way for operator and mechanic alike. The cabs are so quiet ear /hearing protection is no longer needed.

[@MohaddisMedia]

Just moving that incredible piece steel is no easy task. When you have a big job better be buying some of massive push. There are places where mega-haulers are king.

[@LordGizmo]

Yea just for it to move itself never mind the work it has to do

[@MegaTechnology86]

The precision and accuracy of these machines are truly remarkable

[@fedup3582]

I've run Komatsu dozers of various sizes, and I thought they were okay, but I worked at a mine where they leased a 575 super dozer with a counterweight instead of a ripper. They always had to run a D11 with it to rip for it and pull it out when it got stuck. After 6 months, they sent it back and bought a brand new D11. Talking to some of the operators that ran it, that were objective, they mentioned the problem of it getting stuck a lot, but they said in conditions that it liked, it would move a mountain of material. At another mine I worked at, they had 475's when I first started, but it wasn't too long until the 475's gradually disappeared and were replaced with D11's. I think I heard that Komatsu quit making the 575, but I don't know for sure.

[@stanburk7392]

They did quit making it. Not enough demand and apparently issues with the transmission were the predominant issues. I am sure there are other reasons why but that's my limited knowledge of them. Like a lot of things you get to a size that works but bigger starts not being so efficient.

[@-sawal]

Yup D11 is much better...and they quit production since 2012. Thank you for sharing your expirience.

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

Metric values would have been nice - at least additional - five bananas for this videos.

[@LordGizmo]

Noted thank you

[@marklesterloquente]

Wow, Largest Mining Machines

[@SJR_Media_Group]

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

With how far technology has come I’m surprised that more of this equipment has not been developed to be operated remotely. Just think of a front end loader if the whole machine was designed without having to make everything operate from a cab it would bring down build costs and the operator could work remotely.

[@sureshnaikexcellent-w8h]

Thankyou sir

[@TomokosEnterprize]

I must say all the Komatsu dozers are the smoothest I have ever ridden as long as you are moving forward. Backing into a stump with a track is just plain rude so thinking ahead and paying attention to where you want to be without a fellas lower back reminding you that nature always wins eh, LOL. Thanks, Good post. If I had to choose Cat or Komatsu I lean towards the Komatsu. Retired now so I really miss the days when I was making things happen on a logging show.

[@chloehennessey6813]

This a documentary or an advert for Komatsu? They really don’t need it; those in heavy industry who commission new gear know what the good stuff is.

[@LordGizmo]

It’s just something interesting that we put together for everyone to enjoy

[@Szilko86]

​ @LordGizmo for everyone? than why you use bodyparts (and other nonsense not metric units) as measurments only??

[@conmanumber1]

​@@Szilko86Metric is too gay🌈

[@DebbieSuttle]

Awesome video lord gizmo nice 😊

[@HE-pu3nt]

They don't try to make the explosives detonate all at once. Infact they go out of their way to stagger the detonations for reasons of safety and productivity.

[@robertwagner8596]

they call me Bump,im a backhoe operator,the best in town,so my brothers tell me

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

Do big mining operations like these have there own on site service garage for maintenance and repairs? Is that stuff done wherever the machine is and the techs come to it?

[@MegaGearUsa]

Komatsu is a machine that I really like

[@Handles_are_good_for_holding]

Would you make more money being an operator or a technician at an operation like this?

[@meloz1246]

Check your math re: a Boeing 737 flying 702 miles on 550 gallons. Where do you get such inaccurate info?

[@-sawal]

I guess they meant 70.2 miles or something and that too with full of passengers. A rough estimate is this plane burns 5 gallons per mile.

[@leighchamberlain25]

It's literally like watching a video and a different language when you don't use metric

[@jefferykeeper9034]

You said that they made a rock drill, but the name on the drill is P&H

[@-sawal]

P&H is owned by Komatsu

[@seancasey2444]

They just keep digging and digging until it all collapses.

[@flopperstein6303]

0:04 DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?

[@iamyves7292]

ROCK. AND. STONEEE

[@brendanjohanson5958]

Thanks

[@jayjones6904]

Cat is the best I don't care what anyone says unless something has come out since I retired

[@MINDMACHINES-mu2yn]

Nice

[@ioanbota9397]

Realy I like this biggest machines

[@LordGizmo]

Thank you

[@hobbyhermit66]

No way a passenger jet will go 700+ miles on that little fuel. A Piper Cub might do it.

[@stanburk7392]

The jet they compare it to is a 737. It burns 850 gallons per hour at a cruise speed of 515 mph. 554 gallons is 65% of 850. that 737 would use that up in 40 minutes. 40 minutes at 514 mph is 340 miles. a piper cub uses 5 gallons per hour at 75 mph. so 554 gallons would take the cub roughly 8,300 miles. Of course not counting take off and landing for either aircraft just flying at cruise speed no tail wind head wind. B 737 340 miles Cup 8,300 miles. I gotta get a life.

[@RCS1master]

Komatsu has long lasting UNDERCARRIAGE. LOL. that's a lie

[@tedhansen3846]

Very close to the size of the dozers on "Pandora"

[@theunemployedtrucker]

No the reason why Komatsu don't make the D575 anymore is because they are famously unreliable and they only sold about a 100 in 20 years of production 😢😢

[@timparrish1847]

I also heard it has VERY heavy under carriage wear due to weight an a great deal of over heating problems duw to poor cooling and hydrolic fluid movement??

[@shortthrow50]

Guy sounds excited about autonomous powered machines and workers being out of the job. Any idea what this does in the future to mankind if everything is automated

[@breeknow]

Is that Wil Wheaton narrating?!?

[@PA-uf4wd]

The 575 has big problems with engine and hydraulic overheating and severe undercarriage wear problems due to its colossal weight.

[@darrencedeno8098]

Diesel engine torque engine torque not power

[@LordGizmo]

Thank you

[@rickcoleman8903]

Zero emissions equipment fuel conserving, but strip mining is one of the most destructive things you can do to the environment. It seems counterintuitive.

[@daleolson3506]

Zero emissions?where do the batteries come from and the electricity?

[@charliepyle1626]

It is, but reality cuts in and says-where do you get the steel to build your car?. It just goes on, more efficient machines are still better for the environment.

[@swagtech_]

The reduced noise levels in the cabs further enhance the overall working conditions. If you have any more insights or stories about your time with Komatsu equipment, feel free to share!

[@oldswede9307]

These big cats are all electric right😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@timparrish1847]

I have the width of OVER 24' and even the main unit (tractor) is over 11' wide

[@ovaboost30]

2 million tonnes isnt much at all. The mine im at we mine 32 million tonnes a year

[@LordGizmo]

Would you be interested in putting a camera on some of the machines or your machine. Don’t need to say anything just let the camera run for an hour and we will pay you once you upload the raw file to our drive. ?

[@phloughtgnarpsehs7263]

All sorts of incorrect info here. Add to the list: The Komatsu is NOT the worlds largest dozer. That record is still held by the Acco Super Dozer.

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

The Acco isn't a manufactured dozer it there was only one built using alot of Cat parts and design just larger so the 575 is the largest manufactured dozer

[@phloughtgnarpsehs7263]

@@bethanyhaskiell9116 perhaps, but there was no mention in the video of largest “manufactured” dozer. Just largest, which the Komatsu is not.

[@bethanyhaskiell9116]

@@phloughtgnarpsehs7263 Most people do not consider the Acco the largest dozer because it was a one off prototype that was never tested I mean how can they even call it a dozer when it's never even pushed a pile of dirt

[@conmanumber1]

​@@phloughtgnarpsehs7263Acco was a dozer built by demand of a dictator who failed.

Not even a real D575 dozer in the click bait pic so im not watching 😂

Funny talking about emissions when all that ore that has to be smelted is going to produce more emissions than even imaginable… the same ore that makes these engines,dozers,factories… like wtf
