    Nice vid. I retired in 2016. The best largest dozer ever built is a D11R 7pz series Cat. Hands down. After 20,000 hrs on a D11R, I think I'm qualified to say that..The d11t is junk imo. My experience on small dozers is all on older stuff. I liked the komatsu d41, d65 & p61. Very quiet. Comfy. Good dozers. I built alot of DEP ponds & roads with those komatsu. They would hold a steep bank a cat would roll on. D2,d4, d6 hydrostats, they get the job done, but the cat hydro stat is a pita. It either works or it dont. The d6 hydro stat GPS was ok. Not my favorite. My favorite small Cat is a D6R. Very reliable, powerful, & trouble free. My favorite personal small dozers for small fine grading was, and is, a 450 case. We have (2) 450 Bs. Old yes, but still very good. They're both Cummins power, so actually over powered & you dont want a newb on them. A newb could tear them up. They are also pretty easy to work on, when you rarely have to do a fix. They're built very well. I'm sure these new ones are probably really something fancy, but I never needed fancy on a dozer. I like my dozers with power & reliability. Cat R models & old cases have both. Thanks for the video. 😊😊

I personally have never had the opportunity to operate a D11 but I bet they're quite the machine! The "R" series was a great version of Cat all the way around. Great power, great reliability and great comfort. From the 6 to the 10's which I have operated, enjoyed them all. We put John Deere 36" pads on a Case 350 one time and that little guy would almost walk on water! Incredible for soft ground. We're glad you enjoyed the video and happy you shared your comments. Have fun and stay safe out there!

    I wouldt even consider anything other then a cat from an owner standpoint. John deere can keep there software and their rebranded garbage coming from mexico and asia. Komatsu might be a good machine but no manufacturer will keep your equipment working like cat does. By far the longest lasting and almost any part available tomorrow. I have a d5k2 and it is an amazing machine. Definitely more comfortable then any of the deeres ive been in

    Nice video man ! Thank you for the information ! I live in alberta too and i have always been interested in heavy equipment, ive been researching on indeed and found almost all jobs operating heavy equipment start at 30$ and can reach 50$ specially in the northern alberta region, are those the 2024 wages ? Also I have found a school called IHE in edmonton that offers courses to operate heavy equipment , they have a course that is learning to operate an excavator, grader, dozer, articulated rock truck, loader, rubber tire backhoe in 12 weeks (455 course hours), would you encourage me to enroll in it and will it make it easy to find a job once once i finish the courses ? I also want to operate heavy equipment for a few years, save a few bucks and buy my own excavator or dozer, i would like to know how much money can i make operating my own machine ? Is it hard to find work contracts or a company that is willing to sign me as an owner operator ? My goal is to start with one machine and then buying more and having my own company! Lastly, i have some back pain and issues (im 26 years old), not too serious but i cant do labour work or carry heavy stuff, i would like to know if operating heavy equipment requires to do heavy labour work as part of the job ? before getting my self into it because certainly cant do any labour work! Sorry for the long comment but i really like your videos and would love some information from you !

    • @SoGoWoWo
      @SoGoWoWo 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching and thanks for the awesome questions. The wages you're seeing on Indeed should be current wages. The further North you go and more isolated, the better the wages. You do sacrifice however time away from home and family. Yes, we would recommend taking the courses. Nowadays it's getting extremely difficult to find an employer willing to take a chance on a "green" operator. They want some sort of certification showing they've at least learned the basics. The reasons of course come down to saftey and cost. The more inexperienced the operator, the better the chances of something going sideways. Love the idea of once you have experience, getting your own excavator and going out on your own. There will always be work out there for independent contractors. You can even work under larger ones a lot of the time so you don't have to have CORE and safety things like that which are quite expensive. As for your back - that's a tough one. Operating heavy equipment is hard on your body. The machines are rough, extremely hot/cold sometimes, and climbing up and down off of them can get challenging too. If you can get surgery or help with your back, we would highly recommend it. Being in a machine all day every day is demanding. We wish you the best and thank you again for the great questions. Keep us posted on your progress too. We always love to hear success stories. Take care out there!

    • @SoGoWoWo
      @SoGoWoWo 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching and for the great question! As far as I know, you can apply at any age. The caveat is that it may be more difficult as we get older because the shop might shy away due to the fact of the longevity of your employment. IE - how long would you stay working for them after they trained you? If however it's something you've been wanting to pursue for a long time and want to continue for many more years, I don't see why it would be an issue. Some of the positives of hiring yourself would be: probably not partying anymore and not showing up late. Will do what is needed to be done and will work hard. Will be doing it because you genuinely want to be there and not trying to "figure out" life. There are many advantages to apprenticing as an older apprentice as well. Not to mention your life experience and IT background would come in very handy with diagnosing issues. If it's something you want to pursue - we say go for it! Life is short and we only get one kick at it so enjoy and try different things! Thanks again for the great question and stay safe out there!

    The older d4 high track from the late 80s and mid 90s the K are great machines looking at from a grading small rock on the sprocket for wear the high track not as much on the sprocket crushing the smaller stuff just as must wear as the big stuff rocks not bigger dozers. The 3/4 rock gets in-between the sprocket and the drive chain hard on both the high track the idel wheel being smooth pops it out most of the time in stead of the sprocket grabing and pulling it in still both work changing sprocket teeth a bit easier on the high track not breaking the track apart in the feild changing pads that's 4 bolts compared to breaking a track apart in the feild by yourself. Some say unfriendly to the environment but also the high track used for Forrest fires keeping the drive up high for temp and such

      Very true! We very much enjoy discussing heavy equipment as well. Those were great machines and the high drive has proven to be very advantageous in many areas. I personally spent many thousands of hours on a D6M with steering clutches (rather than the electric at the time steering clutches) and have fond memories of it. With the improved cooling and power - they were a welcome change to the 5H. Personally what I love about all these new machines is the speed of the hydraulics. They are just so fast!

      Thanks for watching and for your questions. The things I recommend: on your resume, make sure all your spelling is correct. If/when given an opportunity - don’t lie about your abilities. Tell them your limitations but also tell them you’re willing to learn - which I’m sure you are. And finally work hard - don’t just do the bare minimum. Hard work will get a lot more than anything else. Things to not do: don’t let them mistreat you. Most places are very good to work for but there are a small percentage that aren’t. If you find yourself at one that isn’t, don’t stay there. Don’t be late - show up on time. Don’t complain about working. If you want to be an operator, you need to be able to work longer hours than most. I hope this helps and good luck out there!

    Computer screen up on the dash is absolutely the best place to have it. Looking down between your knees or at your feet to look at a screen all day long sucks. Besides you can’t read numbers or text as well and when they are put down below. The sunlight is on it a lot more when it’s down low and it gets washed out so bad you can’t see anything on the screen. Next time you drive your car try looking at your feet vs the windshield .

    Most machines from major manufacturers will do a pretty good job- for smaller operations, serviceability and support from a local dealer after the sale may be more important than who manufactured it. Definitely something to consider.

    Finish dozer guy here. Operating since 1985. Started on an old JD 450...In my opinion after running the new stuff the Komatsu fulling integrated GPS Dozers are the best as far as operator friendliest and comfort for sun up to sun down days. They also seem to hold up on track and undercarriage wear. My first time on a new D-39 was on a house plat we built I couldn't believe how smooth it turned and held the desired turn rate as i cut for curb and gutter...I got to finish it all in those days no GPS...the ponds turned out sweet as it was the the best for slope work as well...Cat is good, but can't compare on balance when free hand work is needed...and it always is...

    Could you clarify the Komatsu Tech, do they use TopCon or have their own GPS system to measure stockpiled material. Have you compared the CAT Earthworks system when comparing different manufacturers equipment.

    • @SoGoWoWo
      @SoGoWoWo 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for watching & thanks for the great question. From what we can find researching, Komatsu's software is something they can program into Top Con or Trimble. Maybe one of our viewers could speak more regarding this? We certainly don't want to give out false information.
