WOW...amazing...years ago I used to do finish grade on construction. I was born and raised in the busness. I learned by eye and hand control. They really have it so easy now a days.
no it still takes a little skill you got to know how to work material,help the g.p.s by overriding it free handed to keep up,and know how far the material will go down when compacted so you can come back and finish it as close as possible but it is cool it takes away stakes,stringing,ect it's fast if the operater can actually operate
Seems that way, the Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) basically tells the processor where the blade is all the time, while the machine mount helps the GPS position the machine more accurately as well as more predictively - there's always a processing lag between what the GPS receives and what is displayed at that moment in cab to the operator.
Just asking, wouldn't it be better to have a bigger Dozer, that way there's no lagging, I dig the setup, man back in my day it was in the early 70 S, I was universel operator rang a bunch different machine's
Depends on what grade you’re trying to attain, meaning finish vs subgrade. You can switch it between vertical and perpendicular lifts which will change how it cuts on a slope. Learned that one on a very steep bank at a bike track. Surveyors didn’t know it either
Simply use it not rotated , you can see up to 3 tenths difference taking a pass at another angle or even just cross passing. I hate to say but even the Komatsu pxi machine has these results but it seems to be tighter than the systems Deere uses??
I run a 700k with blade control,it is nice but for an experienced operator it will slow you down. At least for me it does. I can go faster and grade better with out it. Give me stakes and ribbons any day for fine grading.
I thought it was faf when the gps thought the dozer could make the cut in one pass. Unbelievable! You can’t replace common sense and a Real seat of the pants operator. If a human operator were producing cuts that look like a motocross track like you and your computer were doing they would be runoff like yesterday
Jimson brown it only cuts grade, the operator still needs how to work a pattern, make sure he’s filling/cutting where he needs to be. You don’t put a mediocre operator on gps machine and make him good, you take your best guy and make him that much more efficient.
Nompumelelo Mnyhila they offer simulators that’ll run in your computer. Not the same as a machine but gps screen for gps screen they’re identical. Better than nothing

The tech is out but not all companies provide it
they had to make gps bc they don't make operators like they used to. operators don't run a machine by sight, its done w your ass
Even easier when it says Komatsu on the iron. Trackslip and blade control are much more fine tuned if you could ever imagine
@@ejenterprise5540 so damn true
Yeah you don’t even have to actually be an operator just a seat cover or lever holder
Thanks for the video man. Sorry for bashing Deere in some replies. Does that system slow the machine travel speed for entering cuts?

so topcon has figured out a way to elimate the pole on the front of the blade?
Seems that way, the Inertial Motion Unit (IMU) basically tells the processor where the blade is all the time, while the machine mount helps the GPS position the machine more accurately as well as more predictively - there's always a processing lag between what the GPS receives and what is displayed at that moment in cab to the operator.
Trimble has also. They both have it fully integrated now
can you set it to put in 8 to 12 inch lifts for building pads? Or auto position the blade to put in even lifts?
You can use offsets to cut to where your target depth is

What ? Company r in ??
I see that's a six way blade, when you rotate the blade and run across a slope, say 30%, what are the results like when you check it with a rover?
Matt Duffy it messes up on a slope

Great video but the man below that says he started at an early age will never be out of a job
he didn't tell that to check point on blade is the boats that are on top,cutting Edge
Not the way l would do it but your using the dozer setup on it l would just take smaller cuts to meet my grade but that's just me..
Unfortunately it won’t be long before the cab is not going to require a human operator.
been there for 30 years. Coal mining, strip mining, no operators, all remote from towers
Can't wait, operators don't give a damn about owner's machinery
@@Akeem_768 gotta get the good ones man we’re not all like that!
Very good

What's the point of even having an operator in the cab?
You don’t have to be a true operator anymore. If the gps breaks though, and I’ve seen it happen, they’re screwed haha
The gps just buried the blade and bogs the machine down then jumps up causing a hump the machine jumps over. Can’t the operator Feel that? Gtfoh
Perhaps adding voice over OFF the site would help peeps to actually HEAR you......
My husband would learn how Heavy equipment with gps

podem dizer o que quiserem não há melhor que a Komatsu
Good ole computers. Nobody needs to learn a skill anymore.

@@knuttsackjones3094 That's not what the company I'm at did...they put the Foremans son on it who didn't know shit...
Deere is always trying to be Komatsu ... concept well taught here but switch brands immediately
