I ran a D6R high track on pipeline with tracks that wide I could go across swamps with it in Louisiana where in from but it took forever to turn it and hard on arms to turn...it work the shit out of u turning.
@@jonathandesselle4464 I also ran a 6 for a couple years clearing huge swamps for a massive international airport. It was AMAZING. So cool when you’re in the operators chair and all those huge tracks are going around and all you see is track. 😂 I saved a BUNCH of swamp creatures with that 6 tho. I wasn’t supposed to dedicate time to saving turtles and snakes but I would slowly windrow material and chase as many as I could over to safer areas. The operator they had previously was plowing right over the animals and I could not stand it. Anyway... good memories of swamp walking in a 6 with ultra wide pads too.
I LOVE operating dozers with extremely wide tracks. When operating them... it’s INCREDIBLE seeing all those track going around when you are in the cab. It’s such a cool experience and nearly impossible to describe properly(for me anyway lol).
@@joelshack85 I spent 2 weeks here in Tennessee pushing clay with a D8 and it was awful. You could cut it but that was about it, can't lay it down for anything. Ended up making windrows everywhere and rolling them over and over till it was dry enough to actually work with
Doc Holliday more surface area reduces ground pressure, it looks like he’s blading peat moss in a peat bog to me. Probably just a few pounds per square inch on that thing
It's not as simple as just slipping on some wide tracks, the bogies will have to have been moved outboard to stay on the centre line of the tracks, so the drive axles and housings will have been modified and the outboard support arms will have been widened to match the new wider blade. The question is was all that work done by the manufacturer or by an approved contractor working with specific additional parts?
Mark Fryer Knowing Liebherr for a long time, it might have been factory made, for example the name of the machine is a PR712XXLGP. Push raupen 712 extra extra low ground pressure.
No. Irish companies do it themselves. A lot people who cut there own turf tackle all the engineering themselves and make complete big machines from scratch. Also the final-drives don’t always run in the center line of the tracks
DIRT LIFE I’ve seen it on a lot of diggers even some pads factory four bolt pattern in the Centre. Usually seen on a digger that has no extensive modifications to the undercarrige
Yea it's cool af but while wild want to haul that wide ass shit around
Now that's a set of LGP tracks 👍
LGP mean low ground pressure
How wide are those tracks?
Man you could drive that thing on lillypads!!
Imagine tracks like that on a high track dozer thing would look crazy

Cat offers them up to 48 inches wide...

Yeah but how good does it turn??? I have a 350 John Deere with wide pads and it can’t spin around without getting in a bind.
1:50 that's horrible to need to run that blade control like that. That operators right arm will be wore out by lunch lol.
Doing sum very long pushes decent dozer tho
Could walk on water with those wide of pads....
damn that's a LLGGPP - LOL
jet boater low low ground ground pressure pressure. Yeah, totally.

I know the guy operating. His name is Pete Moss.
Boom tish!
What are all the ditches for?
DIRT LIFE just going out on a limb here but, I would bet my next paycheck that the ditches are for water.
this bulldozer is far more usefull than the PR754 "rocking horse"
Some good material to be pushing! Come on down to Nc we got plenty of clay!
Hyde county where I'm from we have plenty of swamp mud with stumps to push better yet Dare county by the bombing range.. misquote Central lol
Danny Allen Charlotte gets the clay isn’t to bad looks good once you track it in but can be difficult at times.
Wet clay is the worst
Brian Reed almost impossible to work with. And cleaning the tracks out after. Pretty much a whole job in itself.

Awesome your tractor🤣🤣😍😍😘😘😍
Bet you could have all kinds of fun on a one-to-one

Why have such wide tracks?
Doc Holliday more surface area reduces ground pressure, it looks like he’s blading peat moss in a peat bog to me. Probably just a few pounds per square inch on that thing
@@brynredmon7869 Oh. Thanks. Stuff sucks to haul
@@brynredmon7869and it does not compact the soil,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,turning could be serious fun
mr wheelright oh I know. A regular LGP isn’t exactly easy to turn. I’m sure that’s why it doesn’t show this monster turning.
Earth mover.
Nope A Peat Harvester

@@ferguson20diesel49 never seen a set of tracks that didn't run in the middle. What was they running on?

Yep it’s not a cartoon or cgi.
What is the eventual purpose of this project?
James Campbell They are harvesting peat on that site and have been doing so for decades.
Demonstration. Duuh!
They dug trenches to get rid of the ground water. The dozer is just leveling off the extra dirt.
No!!!!!! You are wrong. They are building landing strips for Ailen space ships! Duh...
