Bro if yourr still in oz you should go do tour of caterpillar factory in airport west in Melbourne, it's massive and been there since I was a kid, would be great to see the day to day operations inside since it's mega high security you can never catch glimpse of what's going on inside , Cheers 👍👍 for the vids great work

[@carlmarr2984]

Back in the 70's I saw a D-10 fall over aa 100ft high wall at a gold mine in northern Nevada landing on it's top and the roll over bar held it up the driver had a heart attack before driving off the wall we rolled it back on it's tracks check the fluids started it up and drove it out of the pit it was back to work two day later after the shop went over it

@@kenhofer8063If the radical extreme left politicians didn’t shutdown mining, oil and gas in the US and now with their War on Fossil Fuels you would see more heavy duty mining equipment being built in the US. The greediest entities in every country is and always has been GOVERNMENT especially the US Government who build nothing design nothing engineer nothing but more GOVERNMENT for further power and control over the people! As of today the US government is the largest employer in the world, 3 million people and growing who do nothing but create a burden on those who actually Build Engineer Manufacture Distribute products and services which contribute to the economic growth of the country.

Welcome to my back yard. I live in mackay and i grew up here and i'm the fourth generation here. While im not based here as i have a sugar cane farm further norrh, i do have rental houses in mackay and thats whybim here today, inspecting my rentals making sure they are not getting trashed. I dont use big bulldozers but i do use cat lifting cranes and smaller bob cats. Beinh in trapoical north queensland now is the best time of the year before the summer heat gets here

Really interesting ... I worked at 'Blackwater' back in the day, driving the 660's tractor/scrapers with huge hungry boards, before D11's and grading the hall-roads with a Cat14... how times have changed..

[@teabola]

When it comes to tracks, are they doing an entire machines worth of tracks (two sides) in 30 hours, or one side in 30 hours? And are they disassembling the track chain completely or are they rebuilding with a brand new chain and hardware? I've never worked on something as big as a D11, but I've torn apart and rebuilt two sides of a Hitachi 1200-6 (M33 bolt) in ~30 hours total which was a massive job compared to the usual tracks that come across my bench.

[@nickhutt6264]

It would be 30 hours a chain. The chains get totally stripped, inspected, repaired and rebuilt, Old grouser cut off and new grouser welded onto each grouser plate . (if they are reusable). Probably sounds like a lot of hours but there is a fair few links in a chain and a bit of a process vacuum testing and filling each pin with oil. Boring repetitive work, but cool to do once.

[@an1017]

It depends on the customer requirements and what's being replaced or rebuilt but typically for a full rebuild I would say 30 hours per track. Obviously you can do both tracks at the same time though. If you're just replacing the track shoes and hardware it can be done in less than 6 hours.

[@williamhoward8319]

[@dplant8961]

Hi, Aaron Witt. You might like to check the financial reviews for Hastings Deering and for Westrac to see if your claim of visiting the 'biggest' Cat dealer DowNunda is 'ackshully 'kee-wrecked' - or you might not, depending on your point of view. Last 'figgers' I saw had Westrac a 'mere' $300 million ahead of Hastings Deering. Other than that, a good video. Thank you. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

[@td42williams77]

Grow up, people have different accents when they are from another part of the world. Or have you never been anywhere

[@dplant8961]

Hello, @@td42williams77. Am I allowed to ask just what accents have to do with anything, either in the video or in my comment? All I did was point out that Westrac's figures were $300 million HIGHER than Hastings Deering's figures and you suddenly want to start ranting about 'accents'. I have done TWELVE trips to the U.S., including working over there for four years and one to 'Seff Efrica'. Happy now? I doubt it. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful DELUSION. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

[@joshiepoo4]

Westrac might be ahead of HDAL, but Hastings also own and operate in PNG, NZ and New Cal…

[@dplant8961]

Hi, @joshiepoo4. Yep, true and Westrac operate in Western Australia and New South Wales but the figures that I saw were for gross revenue for each company, not just within either Qld or W. A.. Just my 0.02. You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
