I was a wildland fire dozer operator here in East KY for 10 years. Started right out of H.S. Man do I miss it everyday! Good times, and great experiences. Especially traveling out west! It’s pretty neat watching you punch line in. I’m guessing ya’ll run rear mounted plows? Here, it’s WAY too heavily wooded, rocky, and steep. Plows are useless, so we’re strictly using the front blade(6 way). Started on a John Deere 350c, then a couple years later, 2009, I got a brand new JD-550J. Fully enclosed cab with a forestry package. It was like a Cadillac! I believe I miss the dozer just as bad as I do the job!

There's a job that gets in the blood, i ran dozer for Cal-fire then I contracted my own dozer for the states of OR,WA,NV,ID. For 6 years my first firedozer was a D6N, my second was a Cat 527 with a grapple, my last one that I still have is a JD 750k by far my favorite of the 3. Less maintenance, more agility, better visibility and way easier to fireproof the components. Hose's and such. I see you running an open cab, that would suck in denser smokey areas when the air's heavy. I sure like me some fresh air filtration. It's probably not an issue down there, but here that smoke clings to the hillside and will suffocate you in no time. Maybe next season I'll get back into it if they raise the price.

I can’t believe you do this in an open cab 😳. Balls of steel Sir. I’ve been a volunteer bush fire fighter for over 17 years. I’m only 10 minutes in so not sure if it shows later, but do you have any BA or a respirator? In Western Australia our machine operators have fully enclosed cabs with air con and fire suppression systems. They also ‘always’ have a fire truck tasked as ‘machine supervision’ that tails the dozer or FEL for support if it breaks down or gets overrun by the fire. You said in another comment that you like the open cab as the closed cabs can give you a false sense of security. Which I totally get. The bonus is that apart from the raging head fire they can run that mineral earth break (fire break) right into the edges of the fire therefore highly reducing the chances of hop overs. We have some crazy fires over here as I’m sure you do there. So for those experienced enough watching your video we can all say that the camera does not do it justice. Those moments when you are tracking along and then you see the fire hit a heavy fuel load and the smoke goes pitch black, you can’t see the track ahead of you and you have to make sure your timings are correct as the flames and intense heat flick your appliance. If you don’t have emergency breathing apparatus please look at the ones Drager do. Take care Sir. It’s your summer but thankfully for us it’s our winter. 💪🏼

This is interesting, nowadays you have the women can do jobs as good as men crowd and yes, a woman could operate a dozer, but how many men would jump on this machine and do it just because it is fun? I know I would.

That dozer is also pulling a blade/plow.

I have my fire plow down behind me. I keep my blade up some to keep off stumps. When I get done plowing, I will lift the plow up and then drop the blade to widen the firebreak.
