Back in the early 80’s my farther and my self had a self loading logging truck that was built pretty rugged. It specked at 96000 pounds for just a 4 axel truck. The land owner was putting a big culvert in a brook and he wanted to push us across the culvert in unpacked gravel. When he pushed on the back of our truck it made the truck steer in the opposite direction that he wanted us to go in and push the front of our truck down into the brook. It’s a good thing that he had a cat D8 to pull us back out again. The truck went better on the second try under its own power. O well I think it pushed about ten yards of gravel into the brook which he was trying to avoid on the first attempted crossing. L. O. L.
Looks like the rubber heeded a little help from the steel! Prayers, BLESSINGS and Go Hug Everybody!
Now that's a cold start
Best cold start video ever
And the fun starts already wow gonna be a rough winter I guesse ..great vid bud godbless
Smooth operator, slick.
Well at least it wasnt as bad as the slasher ditch party. Keep the sunny side up and stay safe up there
Looks like winter is upon you there John.
Brrrrr cold, nice cold cold start 👍
Hey brother we’re in a deep freeze here to. Expecting snow ❄️ Monday night here. That’s hard on a motor now but it has to start.
Hearing the bearings banging away hurts, a oil drain pan with hot charcoal does wonders if not rushing
ED BERRY they don’t have electricity there but a heated oil dip stick is helpful to
for all the colder it's been I'm surprised that dozer started so rough
Boy seems like that Dozer I can really move
You wouldn't believe how well a skidder would pull if you ran ring chains on them.
I wouldn’t!
The struggles are real .
Now that's funny!!

Get r done ✅ brother be safe and GOD BLESS.
The guy running th dozer must have been drunk. It was all over the road, wandering around like a lost child.
He was turning to break the ice crust but the driver is crazy though
😂
@@tractorboy31 ok
Not all crews are drunks buddy
Hello chipper guy. I sharpen chipper knives. I can make them razor sharp without heating them up and taking the temper out of them.
We have our own grinder. Thanks tho!
Ok no problem. I don’t grind them.
Why you don't use all wheel drive trucks, much better for off road driving and winter
Those Cats hate the cold lol
Now that's a cold start for you
💨
Fantastic camera angle, great video...
Thanks for watching
Freeze came quick
Put some gripper's on those cats
👍
Some nice 14 footers on that truck. :P
🤦🏼♂️
badass
How many miles did you have to run the Cat down that road
Taking care of business in the real world.
How come truck drivers never put chains on. Chains on truck would have saved a lot of time.
Don't think they can use chains in that state
@@phillipsaunders8062 I could understand on the pavement. But that's a dirt road and they drove a dozer up it.
No tire chains in Michigan. You aren't on dirt roads long enough to warrant chaining
@@shaunmckenna9521 in that instance it would have been
Oh yeah he’s gone now
Do y'all have to put anti gel into y'alls equipment to keep the diesel from geling up
No
Skidder chains??
Where??
Winter in the north woods
Gee that's a shitty little load of wood at 5:45.
Hey John
chains -- they are called chains -- you put them on your drive axles
