@markieman3000 There's a big advantage to that. That's called an elevated or raised sproket drive system. By keeping the sproket elevated like that it keeps the drive system out of the mud and elements. It also reduces the amount of shock and vibration on the bearings and seals that a low sproket drive dozer recieves (ex: 9H)
The second D9 must be a fair old age. Surprised to see the operator smoking considering he's on top of a pile of coal - over here all that kit would be equipped to the teeth with fire suppression systems!
@PAmining Another reason why they move the coal around is because of coals ability to spontaneously combust. By moving it around,the coal won't get hot enough to ignite.
The D9H is my favourite dozer. The shank ripper was huge and I loved watching the old girl shoving coal. Thanks
old vid but - awesome. love the two cats running 💪
Yeah I'll tell ya what, I wish I could change the quality of some of my older vids to 4K. I managed to get a lot of good clips back in the day. Thanks
That D9H looked like it was going to get stuck there for a second.

@jix177 He troughs the butts in a can to begin with, and I highly doubt a little cigarette is not going to ignite a pile of soaking wet coal lol.
@jix177 ..thats what ya get with "overregulation"...In the States,we still have a little Freedom left..(although it is disapeering fast)..Cheers.
The D353 engine is better for track tractors than the 3408
