The compactor would do a lot better if it had some sort of scraper blade to keep the dirt from building up on the roller, half the time when you were rolling back and forth only the middle with all the built up dirt was the only contact made to ground the outside portions of roller was up off the ground about an inch or more.
What kind of soil do you have there looks like sand /clay mix looks to pack well also have you ever used the excavator and the large log technique for moving those piles my neighbor has an excavator business and he used that on my property to knock the piles down he grips the log with the thumb sets down in the middle of his work area and in a couple of minutes everythings flat just wondering.
Let's dig 18 thank you for finally replying to one of my comments I have been trying to get a response from you ever since I subscribed to your channel into thousand 12 I wish Greensboro had a rollerthat sounded likeThe one you guys have because I just really like the sound of that roller but I have a question about it is it vibratory or nine vibratory because Idid not hear the sound of the drums actually vibrating as it moved across the soil
I'd swear my chair was vibrating when the IR Roller came by !!!!!! Second thought,...does that 'screamin" jimmy HAVE to be that loud, god that operator 's ears will pay for this down the road some time. Obviously just my opinion.
knowitallyankee Oh it's a "Detroit' or as it's also know as a GM Diesel,.same engine, same manufacturer, General Motors. I know that sound well.that roar or 'scream' is very typical of these 2 stroke diesels. I worked for a large GM construction equipment ( Terex ), dealership here in Canada, and folks, like me, who have worked around those engines know that sound , oh so very well. But you know folks, Chris didn't put this video up to start a general conversation about noisy engines,...but it is a wonder that more long term operators of equipment powered by these engines, didn't suffer more hearing losses.It's good to hear that this guy was wearing ear plugs at least.
You know that's illegal right?besides I don't think he could even if he wanted to because his company I think sometimes works for the city and the city requires you to have back up alarms on all of your vehicles it's an OSHA law
man why is it taking so long for my pad if you did that one in 12 minutes
You're slick on that dozer, son!!
The distinct sound of a Detroit
I was wandering why they were spreading gravel in there?

there is one on the front
That's some nice dirt for a pad
Mann that dozer does a good job at spreading that shiz! I need to get one ASAP
I wonder how many miles away people heard that dialled?
That is the only roller that I've heard that of sounded like that
Alex Williamson thank god! its almost too loud to work in the city
After flattening the ground, do you still have to flatten within the trenches when building slab on grade foundation?

Is that lime your grading in? and why/ seen it before many times never know why?
Probally to help stabilise soil ph levels
OK you pass the journeymans test on the baby dozer :)
Bigger dosers are easier. Spent months on a D5N then got on a D6K and was like "hell yeah!"
how do you ensure that it doesn't settle?

Do you have a target height for the pad or do you just make it level to some point?
hello! do you have to use a roller to pact the soil?
How much height did you gain over stock?
what year is that komatsu dozer?
Good Dozer Work !
Like spreading bondo on a bigger scale
Is the roller yours?
