Starting on Rook's Pond. Cat D3 vs Cat D6K

[@tonymiles3106]

When those you tube experts put up their channel link so we can watch them operate properly, they can be taken more serious. Great work on the start of the pond, bet it will turn out fine, no matter how much you push at a time.

I appreciate it Tony. We might have a new toy to play with soon

I had a brother in law, just like you have. But it was welding. Seems like I was keeping him lined out, instead of making a living. The things a guy does for family. Finally taught him well, he ended up make a good welder. Gotta love em.😢

Hey Lindsey, don't let these do called experts on YT get to you. We all know that you just bought that dozer new a few months back and you are learning the ropes. As far as pushing dirt with a dozer, soft dirt you can move a mountain, but cutting is a different story. As far as you're having to push it, there's only so much dirt that the blade can handle, before it rolls out the side. You are doing a fine job, love the content and keep them coming.

That means a lot Johnny. Appreciate you watching and commenting!

[@jimmytew9468]

Lindsey I was going to tell you on the last video that you were getting a lot better on the D3. Your use the blade the correct way. If the soil is hard you use the outside cutting edge to make the cut and push what you have loosened up. Just like you were doing. Like you said the D3 isn't a D6. If your bogging the engine down then your pushing to much dirt. What have I told you lots of times. Just keep doing what you're doing. But how would I know I'm just an Ole Retired Guy that was operating equipment over 40 years ago.😂 Y'all Be Safe Out There Buddy.

[@smithworx1091]

I appreciate that Jim! I'm sure you've pushed more dirt in your life than I ever will. Lol

[@jimmytew9468]

Thanks a lot for that buddy

[@kennethney4260]

You're absolutely right about taking big bites and bogging it the whole way. Thats the least efficient way to run a dozer. From an efficiency standpoint work from front to back and don't push dirt over dirt thats going to get moved ... For clearing topsoil the way you're doing it is very efficient vs. starting with a big bite and pushing it the whole way

[@smithworx1091]

Thanks brother. I try to lay out the whole job before I ever start

[@andychristopher3887]

You do what your been doing instead of the hard push and putting intense stress on the dozer

[@smithworx1091]

Yes sir! Appreciate you bro

[@bongobill2000]

Don’t worry about the keyboard warriors at all !! Just keep being you and do your thing !! You have your equipment to fit what you do right now and a lot of it is by yourself !! There are different sizes of dozers and different kind of blades for reasons.. 3’s 4’s 5’s are perfect for finishing ( like you said ) where 6’s and up would be better for pushing more dirt etc….a 6-way blade is good for finishing where a u- type blade is better for pushing dirt longer distances. I’m like you where I hate backing over wash boards but the other thing about that is if you were to try to hog more dirt with your dozer, that 6-way blade will only hold so much dirt so you would be have to cut your push distance in half ! Bottom Line is you have an awesome machine there that many would love to have. Maybe the warriors are jealous! ?? You keep ROCKIN’ and I’ll keep Watchin’. Happy New Year !! 🎸🎸🎤🎤🎹🎹🎸🎸

[@smithworx1091]

I'm glad you get it buddy. Appreciate you watching! 🙏

[@blackdogexcavator21]

I think it depends on the type of blade on the dozer. With the u shaped blade, you can carry more dirt/make a deeper cut. With the straight blade like on your dozer, I was taught to make a thin cut to try and fill the blade up across the whole length of the cut. I don't know what to tell you about that other commenter. Everybody has their own way, so if that's the way he chooses to operate, that's alright too I guess. Keep on keeping on brother.

[@smithworx1091]

You're absolutely right brother. I like your way of thinking

[@ricksmith-iw2op]

To start with you don’t have a D-7 dozer, so why put your equipment in a bind! You’re doing fine, like you said it’s for finishing the pond dam and take care of the slopes! Don’t let the video critics get to you my friend, they’re not operating it plus they’re not paying for the maintenance costs either Lindsey! Don’t stress yourself! Just enjoy running your equipment brother! You never take a bigger bite than you can chew Lindsey! lol 😂 😂

[@lovejcdc]

Hey brother great video, I wouldn't pay attention to the keyboard operator's and their ridiculous wisdom 😅😅 if a man who knows anything about dozer work already knows what that little D3 can do and I guarantee they weren't saying anything about you're operating. A real operator will keep his mouth shut unless he can really help you with an actual mistake or give you pointers on how to get the most out of your machine without tearing it up. God bless y'all

[@smithworx1091]

I appreciate that brother.

[@LifeWithChase]

What's your thoughts on that d6k aka the new d4 vs your d3? Those small sticks hold that topsoil together good when you pile it up, it's kind of a pain to get it to break free again lol

[@smithworx1091]

There's a good bit a difference between this d3 and d6k I think. I haven't ran the d6 yet but I will before it leaves here. I kinda wish now I would've gotten a bigger machine lol.
