Yep ! Very clever Dozer science !

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks for watching!

[@stephenormsby3662]

Genius!

[@penningtoncolin]

Hi Brian great videos I'm a operator with over 45year experience on 360s 180s and a little bit on dozers, us experienced operators are a dying breed but your videos explain what we do to young operators I'm self tort operator but I'm still learning 45 years later ,I ve got a machine with trimble gps and a engco tilt rotator, just watched your video from 2 years ago where you formed a swale withe an 8ton case great skills mate we don't make to many swales over here in uk as we don't have as much room as you have in the states ,another thing you lads use alot are skid steers I think there a great tool but you don't see them on uk sites I don't know why they seem so versatile ,I've Benn to the sates when I was younger loved it only a vacation to Florida 5x ,think I need to make a move to USA your videos make the work look great,nice big jobs something to get your Teath into,sorry I've gone on a bit but keep them videos coming Brian

Thanks for commenting! This industry needs more people teaching and encouraging. So many people in our industry have such a negative attitude and go around shitting on everyone. It's a wonder we are struggling to find new people to take up the work! Hopefully we can change that with time!

[@maiasmamma]

This method also works really well with soil types that pack down easily, no ripping required!

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks for the comment Andrea!

Excellent video

Great information, we're all a little less stupid now. Thanks!

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks for watching!

[@stevenbarnett6207]

Love the content, great break down for all. But I’m curious as to your comment about specifics where this would not be the optimal method also. Standing by to learn more.

[@DieselandIron]

It can be a variety of things. If you aren't moving enough material to form a true slot then you end up wasting time trying to make this method work. Sometimes site conditions don't really permit you to create several slots so you have to make due. It really just depends on the situation. As an operator it's important to have a variety of techniques in your tool belt that allow to to be versatile. Thanks for the comment!

[@IronMan-vh1yo]

Me as a new dozer operator with about 100 hour experience this helped me out A TON! So thank you so much!

[@DieselandIron]

Great to hear!

[@andrewbrenneman9592]

Better explanation to me than my previous understanding. But my question is about that possible blowout on the machine side and caving in on the operator.

[@DieselandIron]

I wouldn't go deeper than 3 or 4 feet before taking the windrows and starting the process again

[@davidpoggioli8014]

Keep your slots closer and the windrows will stay low,only needing to be cleaned up at the final cut

[@troycostin294]

Unreal this has been a massive massive help …

[@DieselandIron]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mauriceburdock7168]

thanks for a great explanation

Thanks for the support!

[@kincetown]

Awesome!! Thanks brother big time!!

[@austinhauck2017]

Couldn’t really understand what everyone means by working the slot front to back till I seen this thank you

[@DieselandIron]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching brother

[@roadwarrior7401]

first video i watched by you brian stripping topsoil, i was wondering these very things concerning slots .... a nice detailed explanation

Always happy to see new uploads, cheers from 🇰🇪

[@DieselandIron]

Thanks for watching brother!

[@199randomhero]

Fantastic info!! As a self taught dozer operator I need all the help I can get to be more efficient! This is great information I'm literally implementing real time and seeing great production increases

[@DieselandIron]

Glad the videos are helpful! Best way I learned when I started out and still to this day was by watching other operators. Thanks for watching!

[@steveross9058]

Same amount of work both ways. You still have to push the same amount of dirt, the same distance.

[@DieselandIron]

That's not correct.

[@steveross9058]

The dirt weighs the same. The dirt has to be moved the same distance. If you load the blade early you carry the dirt the same. What’s up with yout reasoning? It is definitely the same. And as for pushing downhill by some manufactured design….. it’s still the same amount of yardage the same amount of distance. That’s like lifting the rear of of car to say your always driving downhill .@@DieselandIron

[@DieselandIron]

@@steveross9058Did you watch the video? Yes, the dirt itself is moving the same distance but one scenario is much more efficient because you aren't keeping the machine under load the entire push and you shorten the initial pushes while getting more production.

[@steveross9058]

How are you not keeping the tractor under the load for the entire push? Does the load get magically lighter’? Somehow, you are saying you’re trying to pick up more dirt as you move your tractor to the fill. If you did that, you need to be fired. Slot pushing, you load your blade, the slot keeps the dirt trapped in front of the blade and you take it to the fill. Same distance, same yardage. @@DieselandIron

[@DieselandIron]

@@steveross9058Look, clearly you know already so there's no sense in continuing this argument. Stay safe man.
