Really impressive video on how much the D11 s can move !!👍👍👍

[@katenic1620]

With the right equipment and operators, it doesn't take long to make an area tidy and workable for the next round of crops. Thanks to you Matt, Your dad Peter and the rest of the crew for the entertaining and interesting videos. Really enjoy following you guys

Beautiful vlog, beautiful images and a lot of work. Good that it can be done with oil pressure and the blood pressure can remain normal. Greetings from the Netherlands.

My wife was very impressed as I , with the sound of Tiny One... she said...Nice 😊

[@michaelnew8035]

What BEAUTIFUL NOISE ! Thank you for sharing it. I love your videos as well. But the sound of those D11s. Man o man what beautiful noise !

[@philstreeter9703]

The D11 makes for a quick neat job. Love your channel. There's nothing like the sound of a D11! Thanks for sharing

[@petern8965]

At least with the dam gone less likely for vermin to be attracted to the area while crops are at their sweet spot. Love the vlogs keep them coming gents

[@lastguy8613]

Hi Matt great video as always, I love the way those d11s push mountains without barely breaking a sweat! Obviously I wouldn't wish heavy rain events on anyone but it would be really interesting to see how the contour banks handle one. If you were able to film it of course, in a major flood I'd imagine you've got plenty else on your plate

city folk come out to the ranch and wonder why I have an excavator, a D6, a motorgrader, , dump truck, a rock picker and a landoll to raise Bison, well here ya go. thanks for sharing the fun

You blokes do such adventurous farming stuff! Love the way you look long term for improvements in your blocks. But then again, you do get things bogged now and again (one of your best blogs that one!).Many thanks.

[@jifi-0178]

I believe you mentioned that the Tiny machines have 800 HP each. I think it is amazing to watch "only" 800 ponies working so effortlessly. They push and push and push until ... they stop and don't push. No fighting and biting - they just do the job. That's the mark of a big machine - no annoying noises and excessive sounds like so many others that think noise is a must for horsepower and work. Wrong. The Tiny Machines get it done. Thanks for the great sound track on this one, Matt.

Great exhaust sound with the camera between the stacks, run through a stereo system with a big sub woofer, just turn the volume up and 'drive' the D11. ( and a BIG screen TV to complete the picture).

Loved the bit at the end, you could do that every time with a different piece of equipment and I would be in love.

Really great video Matt 👍👍 ... Going to be interesting to see how you crop the contours ... imagine it best to run parralel and take the contour formation as it comes but that will make harvesting "interesting" ... when editing do you reckon you could leave in a few end turns eg spraying seeding harvesting etc ... I used to find them challenging so I find them interesting 🙂🙂

[@ordinarymiracles5959]

Who and how was the engineering developed for all your contouring work? Does each operator work to specific co-ordinates for his/her operation? What is the gross number of hectares involved in this ‘Rehabilitation of this operation? Thanks very much for taken such a long question(s). As an old “homesteader “ in Canada I find this incredible compared to the way we started with nothing ( no GPS or other outside assistance other than Township markers and “correction lines” where previous (1800s) surveys” correct any misplaced section lines ( a section is one mile square 640 acres).

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi mate, we did get a lidar of the property before we started works but both dozers work on different banks so they are independen, not sure how many hectares as there’s still plenty to go!

[@gordondickson6901]

Additionally given you have droughts and then floods can you not use machines of this size to create the contours to slow down the flow of the water from the land and away from where it is needed being in the earth ?

[@roberthiggins6401]

It's all coming along Matt! What is a rough winter temperature for you?

[@jefftheaussie2225]

It is very cold here in Australia in the winter, most places might get a frost in the morning unless you are on the coast where it might get down to the very cold single figures Celsius. When it is snowing in Western Australia you know it is cold. ( It can snow in WA in The Porongurups but not many people are aware of that). Jeff

[@roberthiggins6401]

@@jefftheaussie2225 Thanks Jeff. Sounds similar to UK temperatures.

[@jefftheaussie2225]

Yes it is similar but we don’t have the damp cold you have, our air is much drier which makes it easier to live with.

[@paulsimpson.417]

Hi Matt , great video as usual. All that contour work looks very expensive, do you stand that yourselves or is there some government assistance?

[@nitram157]

Just one question as the pond is/was holding water, is it clay lined? If that is the case would it not fill up with water if you get heavy rain because of the clay lining would hold the water and cause you to have a wet spot that could bog down machinery ? All the best from the UK.

[@thejacksonbrothers]

No it isn’t clay lined👍 that would be annoying haha

[@malcolmmckinlay2143]

Yes I agree with you on that point,seems to me it would make sence to put a base of rocks in first seem that there are plenty lying about that help to stop the area becoming a wet spot

[@pcl598]

[@phillovelace]

😂😂 Not something I noticed the1st time through. Had to watch it again, but sure enough....

[@russellsmith3825]

That dozer only sounds like you are running about half throttle, are you doing that to prevent damage and save fuel?

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Hi russel, that’s them at about 1800rpm, max is about 2000 I think, max power is at 1800👍

[@gileshamilton4462]

How is the price of diesel effecting you running all that kit ..... your yearly fuel cost must be eye watering ... here in the uk im sure red diesel was around the 17-20 pence a litre now its more like £1 .... and lastly what's the operating revs in the D11's sounds quite low 1600-1900 rpm .... pushing sounds and looks effertless .

[@thejacksonbrothers]

Yep the price isn’t nice but the job still has to get done👍 I think ag fuel is $1.20 a litre and it’s usually $.60ish. We run them slightly off max rpm so it’s probably about 1800rpm which is where the maximum power is😁

[@waynep343]

What does the operators manuals say about max angles of operation to avoid loss of engine oil pressure.

[@1963Bonde]

That's a bit bachwards. In Europe farmers are putting in ponds like that, to help biodiversity. What are the reason for filling in the pond?

Hi Malcolm, most farmers do not own big earthmoving gear, we started because we needed other income during the drought and also to keep us all busy while there wasn’t crops growing, we have done plenty of contract work but the main reason was to redo our own contour banks as they fill up with silt etc over time and they hadn’t been done for over 10 years👍😁 hope that helps explain a bit

Hi Dan, that’s our property and the place used to have cattle on it so it had quite a few dams which we don’t need👍

[@stephenharvie1404]

Hi mat just wondering could you straighten up that waterway that you emptied the dam into and give you more land to farm also easier straight runs when planting

[@thejacksonbrothers]

It’s possible but sometimes you don’t want to mess with waterways too much as all the grass gets removed then you can have bad erosion, hopefully we will be able to do something with them at some stage👍

[@JDseller1]

Straightening a water way out makes it more likely to wash out. The water speeds up and causes more erosion. It is also hard to get grass and such growing in a "new" water way before it washes out a channel.
