Snowstorm November 30, 2024 | Erie Pa. Caterpillar D4

[@Machines.In.Action]

A beast against the snow! ❄

[@kensakamoto258]

That's an iconic sound! My uncle had one on the farm. Great memories!

[@markhiatt5068]

Purring like a kitten ❤

[@jefffrayer8238]

Thanks for showing us what an old CAT dozer can do and all the snow you have. From the farm near Battle Creek, Mi.

[@darylcjackson]

Insane amount of snow but what a Cat Dozer. Thanks for sharing

[@danielyoder5928]

What a difference the wind direction makes, down here outside of Meadville we have about an inch on the ground and about two inches total so far. Nice old Cat doing her job.😊

[@coldspring624]

That old iron is pure gold

[@farmking5088]

Sweet little Dozer!

[@DouglasMix-o7h]

Beautiful toy you have there! It’s a beast!

[@roberthenry9319]

Thank you for this video. Marvelous.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

Great video. Nice sounding dozer. 👍🏻👍🏻👋👋

[@Bulldog1653]

It definitely sounds nice and healthy. Bulldozers are one of my favorite machines to operate.

[@noelstractors-firewood57]

I’d love to have a small dozer. My father use to operate one where he worked. When he went to war he drove a Sherman tank.

[@anthonyfeeney1210]

Have a Beer on Anthony 👍🍺

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video

[@Thomas-bv9mn]

I have spent a lot of hours on an older D4. Too bad you have a straight blade but it works. Good job.

[@BHRoadStoriesBH]

The snowstorm in Erie, PA, on November 30, 2024, must have been quite powerful! ❄🌨 Seeing a Caterpillar D4 at work during such heavy snow is a reminder of how essential heavy machinery is in clearing snow and keeping roads passable. The combination of a snowstorm and the D4 working to manage it would make for a dramatic sight. Stay safe and warm during such intense weather! 🏞🚜

[@lawrencecarberry1399]

love nice job good luckgood looking kitty cat

[@KMK6464]

Katy and the big snow😊

[@korhing1066]

Love old Cat Diesel Power American Made Muscle ! Cool Video Thanks

[@carmiethompson2676]

Cute little D4. She may be slow but she can't be stopped. All though let's face it, you'll still need a plow truck to handle the details & cleanup.

[@bobocaterpillar3697]

this old dozer will be running LONG after the new machines are broken down

[@franklackie2469]

Very true

[@franklackie2469]

We never had any cabs when I was young we just did the job without being a Karen 😅😅

[@thestewartfarm]

We just replaced the right bull gear and axle over the summer.

[@Dre56789]

A bad thing about using a D4 is you better know what’s under the snow because it’s gonna be missing when that D4 blade hits it it won’t know the difference between it and snow good machine

[@MyLifeThai371]

That's what my grandpa used his Allis Chalmers HD7 dozer for as well, before we bought our front wheel assist loader tractor.

[@rightsideupvt]

Now that is some Erie living right there! I need to visit my Erie city cousins.

[@roberthenry9319]

It seems like this video gives a lot of incentive to not visit your Erie cousins.

[@richardwalters1803]

Magnificent way to plow

[@charlietanner6211]

you cant stop those d4,s ive been on them all my live almost started out on 5j d4 now have 5 d4d 2 d4e they run forever

[@waveformsurf]

Just like when we were kids!

[@lucmarchand617]

Too bad don't have heat cab but rest great nice dozer.😊

[@geedubb-q1u]

Long johns, jeans and insulated coveralls do the trick.

[@scubasteve7946]

No foggy windows that way 🤣

[@LarsDcCase]

Wish I had that type of crawler.

[@Husky1run]

My dad push a lot earth with that dozer😊😊

[@charlesbraun8867]

You know you’ve had some snow when you have to break out the D4

[@easttexaspatriotsunitedsta4932]

Wow thats alot of snow ❄️.

[@todddewell6314]

Very cool!!

[@snydedon9636]

Who says you can’t beat Mother Nature? All you need is an old Cat. And it’s way cheaper than today’s pickups.

[@samdiamond7642]

I love it that's awsome!

[@ArnoldMinnich]

My Dad had 2 almost identical😮 dozers I spent a lot of hours on when I was a teenager. Been 50+ yrs ago now They were tough old tractors

[@МаратСосиев]

😅😂😂👍👍👏🤯💪🦾.Да. Хорошии́. 👍👍👍.

[@Cemilodmir]

This old D4 needs a warm cabin.

[@Fleetguy-km9kk]

hell ya!!!😂

[@AlexLindley-u5f]

Bang Tidy D4- Sounds Sweet

[@ericvonp]

When he’s done he can go into his basement and play with his trains.

[@farmerthatflies]

Why the windsock ? Do you have a landing strip there?

[@thestewartfarm]

We used to have a small private airport here many years ago. Dad still has a PA-18 Super cub at another airfield in Erie County.

[@farmerthatflies]

@ I’d love to have a J-3! And a private airstrip for it

[@roberthenry9319]

To see which way the wind is blowing. Windsocks work very well for that.

[@jeffreyhall5679]

The house has a garage why was the car outside then ?

[@thestewartfarm]

One bay has a car in it, the other has a Ford 8N with a blade on the back. Gotta keep it ready to go! It just couldn't handle all that snow though.

[@roberthenry9319]

Obviously, something else is in the garage. But.....what business is that of yours?

[@woodhonky3890]

I reckon your microphone froze. Squatch 253 says a D4 is no good for a snowplow. Now I know better!

[@JenS-ds7bp]

I have a D4, and I have snow. Squatch 253 is not wrong. A D4 will push snow, but… for all the reasons Squatch has already explained, mine is parked in the winter.

[@richardott643]

I have a d4 7u been pushing snow with it for years. Never had a problem.

[@joebrosius6783]

Grandpa packed silage as a kid I would get scared that close to edge

[@e.fhudacky1696]

Do you remember when you got the D4 and where it came from?

[@thestewartfarm]

Grandpa bought in 1965 from the Erie Caterpillar dealer for his excavating business.

[@e.fhudacky1696]

@@thestewartfarm My father bought it in the late 50s from beckwith machinery in erie and he used it in his lumber business for skidding logs. It looks like you take pretty good care of it! It's a small world sometimes. He had an older D4 for years, and I was really excited about the new one. I was around 10 years old when he got it. I spent a lot of time getting in the workers way trying to help. The log skidding was was fascinating!

[@deere7227]

Will you come back and show us all the landscaping you did with the D4? I am close to 80 miles straight north of you and nothing. Now 80 miles NW of me 2ft plus

[@zombienectar]

I would have guessed that was a six .

[@6by6by6]

Nope… imma gonna sit in my nice warm cab and blow that snow 100’ in whatever direction I want..

[@metalmanmarv]

I had one just like it, a 78A5667 I believe it was, same 10' angle blade on it....nice machines. I sold mine about 5 yrs ago.

[@z978ady]

Put a PTO snowblower on back so extensive backups move snow.

[@tomrinehart3022]

This is a reason I don’t live in the north! This southern boy would not make it up there! But nice Cat..

[@alexandrefernandes9061]

👊🇺🇸🇧🇷

[@fodor7069]

Beautiful machine . Once the tariffs kick in America will build quality again.

[@odb_roc_hound4186]

Yeah, keep dreaming, the stuff is crap because the American consumer puts up with buying crap and because the companies have put short term profits over repeat customers, neither will change with a change in manufacturing location.

[@daver6564]

Let’s hope.

[@roberthenry9319]

You are right about the beautiful machine. The tariffs......perhaps reading up a bit on basic macroeconomics will you to understand that a bit better.

[@peterbrown1968]

your bulldozers got air conditioned lol

[@thepragmatic6383]

I like your comment, I find it "cool".

[@farmerthatflies]

Heater core must be plugged up with snow ❄️

[@Buddha-of8fk]

I bet he is probably plowing all of his neighbors driveways too without pay.

[@ChucKsor-dm4eq]

OK tuyệt vời quá bạn tuyệt

[@rolloff1218]

Bonecrusher 😊
