Mate, that was a cracker presentation, great, commonsense commentary from a pro driver, good graphics. Really appreciate you imparting your experience in these videos, well done. Also, it must be kick arse fun to drive a big mother like that, I’m so bloody jealous
It's unreal how much dirt these 11 carry dozers can carry. Operating a 10 after being in these makes them feel like a 7. Thanks for the compliment. Really appreciate it.
I always cut from the front to the back when doing a cut to fill then once the cut is on grade clean up from the back to the front feeding the windrows into the slot and taking it forward. When stripping topsoil, start, at the back and work forward that way the windrows can be swept into the slots and carried forwards as U clean up so U are always working in a slot. Still operating dozers after 54 yrs in the seat.
54 years!!!!! I definitely understand the passion for the machine and the reward when you leave a good job. Im 12 years in, I can't fathom doing a half century in the seat. 😂
Nice video mate I'm new dozer operator but I'm experience operator in other machines like loader, grader and excavator..and dozer Is my new machine to me tnx mate
I use the same principle when I use the snow blower.....nothing falls off the side. Instead of only being able to take half of my width i use this and it’s faster and cleaner. After taking out the middle...go back and take the windrows
I reckon Back to front is when the Site is fairly steep to start with hence Doze out the High End where the Dozer will actually be not far of level when filling the blade- hence efficient on fuel
Hey, so another question for you I am currently operating a D155 Komatsu and I Have another question for you. When I’m doing cleanup with smaller windrows find myself creating up and downs once in a while. Am I not looking at something correctly on the dozer or is there something else which could help me with my technique to improve more of an even grade while I am pushing the smaller windrows?
Hey bud, I know the feeling you're talking about. Do your initial pushes in first gear, bulk out most of the material, and leave about 100mm on the floor. Next, final trim that 100mm off the best you can. The trick is to always have at least 1/4 blade full when trimming to stabilise your blade. On your final pass to clean up small windrows, use 2nd but decelerate to about half revs/speed. The floor is already trimmed and at height, so your tracks will hold level while you thin, carry, and spread the last of the small windrows. Try that
Dont play with your blade so much. Smaller movements until you refine where its needed. When you dive in too much, you pull up too much to counteract. Then you start "making waves"
@@justdozing7727 thank you, as I’ve looked in TH-cam to help refine my skills from operators that have much more experience than I do. Your channel is very descriptive and easy to understand. I appreciate your response.
The tailings dam is huge. Tail into 1 section. When that is full, work around the dam. After a few days, when the water has settled and the sand is dry, push that section out to build up new and higher walls. Keep moving around the dam in a clock or anticlockwise direction
I'll try to make one soon. It's the same principle as this video. The one thing you have to refine and focus on is your initial drop-in. If you cut in to steep, you won't be able to reverse up it. Take 2 dozer lengths to fill your blade instead of one.

Front to back also faciltates downhill dozing using the weight of the machine has gotta be most efficient
Goodlord thats alot of dirt. Great video. I really enjoyed it.
Another good video thanks for sharing your knowledge in an easy to understand way

Yep- once the blade is full it just needs Skating through to its destination- no point trying fill a full blade coz it just boils off the sides
Thanks for the new upload been waiting for these 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
front to back is my favorite

Spot on 👍
I wonder how much dirt he carries back and sprinkles out each pass.
great video!
Nice vid mate👌

Thank you I’ll give it a try
👍
any plans on making dumps? specifically talking about ramping it slightly depending on the material and working corners? cheers man
I used to have that exact video here but it was deleted. I'll remake it. 👍
@@justdozing7727 where's the remake ya big stud muffin
🤣 taking the laptop to work next week. I'll have a crack if I get some time 😚
What is the good technique to teach me when I’m pushing to have less of the up-and-downs

반갑습니다 im south korea ~
How do your guys tailings work?

Abit better work then pushing to those units aye haha.I see a few jobs going for you guys.. hopefully i get a look in! lol@@justdozing7727
Any video of slothing in a hill?
I'll try to make one soon. It's the same principle as this video. The one thing you have to refine and focus on is your initial drop-in.
