As an operator, I still enjoy watching equipment working as well as running the machines. We normally work more hours in 8 months than people with regular jobs do in 12 months but I wouldn't trade places with those with a regular job.Watching video's like this make me proud to be a Heavy Equipment Operator, and being able to do a job most people wish they could do.
Yup it's great to get a big load picked up and let that big V8 just pound away untill you get it to where it needs to be and have a sip of coffee on the way back for more.Luv it I wish I was younger again. Them were great working days. Retired now.
I never operated this one, only the first year models of the D-10 with the V-12 double stacks . I loved it. Sure was great compared to the old D-9 G with an open cab. I had to follow a first shift dozer "driver ". He was one who would open the door and run the A/C wide open. Then I was forced to operate the 2 nd shift in a dirty cab.
My Dad worked on the M4 motorway while constructed it, he drove a D8 Caterpillar and scraper. .He drove Bulldozers all is life, he was fanatical about Caterpillar bulldozers. He had references for.is outstanding work when he worked on the motorway for a earth moving firm, Dickhamtons in about 1973.
Actually the first D10 ( predecessor to the D11N ) had a single, very large exhaust stack. 3412 engine. Later went to the double stack setup. We had one of the first production models in 1978.
The original D10 prototypes back in the mid 1970's and it was similar size to current D11's. The first prototypes had been engined with a V16 stationary engine converted to use in the tractor but that didn't work too well as the oiling system wasn't designed to work in a dynamic vehicle plus the extreme power literally was ripping the tracks off. They the went to a V12 that was designed to be used in a vehicle but it had problems with fires so the production tractors were all fitted with fire suppression systems. In the late 1980's they completely redesigned the D10 for manufactuability and increased reliability and called it the D11. It was fitted with the new 3508 V8 engine that increased reliability and improved fuel consumption over the previous engine. I know as increased EPA demands were made the ACERT techknowledgey decreased horsepower levels in all tractor models causing customer complaints so it's no surprise they had to go to a bigger engine to fix that problem but how does it affect the fuel consumption?
They fixed the engine, but not the air con. He has got the door open. After 40 years of operating in Australia, operators comfort is the most important.
It just isn t the same with the big 3508 and the roar it produces.Sounds toooooo much like D10T & a D11T.The D11N/D11R had a personality all their own with the 3508 & this changes all that
1- Slot dozing good. 2- Spin tracks too much, trying to show off in front of the camera and push too much. When blade is full, go with it. Don't keep spinning the tracks to cut more. 3- Border line too far to push, almost need scrapers. 4- Trying to rip and push at the same time....I never had much luck being productive doing that.
The D11N came with a 3508 mechanical engine. There is no programming that can be done because there is no ECM on the engine. Everything is controlled mechanically. I dont think they did it to gain power, it was basically a rebuild of the machine and they decided to put a new, updated engine in it.
All are repower have ECM'S and we were forced to up date or loose them but as long as you work it in the same county the repower doesn't cost that much because of the repower program you the tax payers get to pay most of the bill and just to give a approximate in 2002 it cost 170 thousand dollars to repower a 657 and are cost was around 60 thousand and the tax payers pay for the rest as long as we work it in the county for 2 years and did think we kept them in the same county for 2 years well all I can say is we tried.
I m 48 now, been operating heavy equipment for the last 20 years...everything from Marion drag lines to strip OB...Clark 675 twin diesel front end loader.Hyd. and elect. shovels...But to get behind a D-11 or equiv. and push some dirt is a great feeling of power under ur ass....Nice Vid!!! cheers all fellow Heavy equip. Oper....:)
gregg the C-18 i do believe is a marine engine that mossville used to build, 3406 E went into the smaller bull dozers not the D-11, C-32 wasnt built in mossville it was built in indiana, I used to build the D-11 tractor from 2004 to 2009, worked for Cat east peoria 10 years...
interesting they used a C27 which was the replacement for a 3412 that was used in the D10 when the C32 was the replacement for the 3508 which was the standard engine in the D11!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the February 2012 Diesel Progress Magazine on pages 69-70 there is a story on this particular D11N.Was surprised to that that Johnson Machinery in Riverside did the C27 repower.Would have thought that Shephard Machinery in Whittier would have done this instead.The C27 has got the same cid as the 3412 diesel
Shepherd has been gone for a long time it is called Quinn and we had a falling out with them so we started dealing with Johnson I had a lot of problems with Quinn myself I told them they were a bunch of dumb ass's so that's why johnson
I come from Peoria,IL which is Cats HQ and Dozer manufacturing base and I have never heard of the Mossville plant(which is the Engine plant) building an engine bigger than the C18. I have been gone from there for 4 years tho now so they may very well be up to that now. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Yep, i would agree right there. I had the first 2 D10T,s to go to work in Australia and the moment i heard them pushing a full blade of dirt with those turbo,s whistling i thought the same thing as you did with this dozer, whats old is new again.
As a young operator trying to get my foot in the door, I love seeing videos like this. I'd be the happiest guy on earth if I could just plant my ass in the seat of a big ole' CAT D series dozer and go to town. Thats my kinda job right there.
I used to Weld and assemble the base that the cab sets ontop of we called a tool box that holds Hydraulic components. I enjoyed it. Takes one man an entire 12 hr shift to build 1!
I was an operator for 6 years before I went to work for CSX I have 14 years as a locomotive engineer with CSX but I have always said if I could find a job back in the seat of a D11 that paid what being an engineer did I would be back on the dozier don't let my screen name fool you im logged on my wife's account
Love the sentiment, love punctuation so I can follow it easier. I'd love either job personally. I'm self employed and I love what I do...but at the same time I find myself watching tons of videos of excavation equipment via youtube daily. CSX has to also be unbelievable...not sure the routes, shifts or distances you cover...but its got to be surreal to see the landscape change etc.
Is this dozer getting a blade fuyll and then lifting the blade slowly so that some spoil drops below the blade to lift the surface. Like depositing spoil that he has scraped off the top of the rise. Anyone help me please
@generationll The C27 in the D10T and the C32 in the D11T have loads of character in them with regards to there sound just like the D10 84W has. Go listen to my no mufflers D11T vid
@@spannaspinna I have had D10T do 18,000 hrs on engines, sure, a few dramas but just std, had 3500 do the same as well, had a D11T engine last 1 shift from new, guy bolting the air cleaner housings on left his extra 3/8 nut for the studs in a bag in the intake, oops!

You didn't have to take mineral pills
so thats a brute, is it an old machine with a new power plant? what is a c27? i like it.
A 27 litre V 12 engine.

Extra power is great, but when you spin the tracks you're not pushing anything.
3508 is a WAY better engine than this one.
Great video, I love the CAT Brand

Not much smoke there means the EPA's happy with this repowered CAT too. That one sounds mighty fine...
Cat D11 bulldozes downhill - gravity assist - smooth and steady diesel engine progress.
Nice vid mate, you always come through with the goods, like has already been asked though i am curious why they chose a 27 instead of a 32.
I have run that dozer and it had plenty of power maby to much..

Didn’t Caterpillar move their headquarters to somewhere in Texas ?
If I recall the C-18 took the place of the 3406E Engine which nearly every dozer bigger than the D9 left E. Peoria with.

Get it brother, imagine if it had new grouzers!

yeh if he has the end result in sight stockpile or spread don't try and bring the mountain down in one pass a bl
a blade full is a full blade. & efficiency is speed x distance
same principal as a scraper
the CAT D11N have a 3508 V8 and CAT D11T have a C32 V12
jorge fonseca prefiero el motor original
el 3508 si tambiem es muy bueno y duro
Wasnt the C32 a v8?
C32=12V
The C32 ACERT was a V12 of 32 litres (1953ci)
how come this d11 has the C27 in it when the acert engines for the d11ts is C32, can you not convert a C32 into a d11N
What do they do on a repower? Rebuild the original engine. Or remove and replace? And what does something like that cost??
Remove - Replace with electronic controlled engine
It cost a lot of legal tender
The same engine is used in polish locomotive SM42 6dg.
