GREAT vid!! This vid is really tempurmental. I had to turn the sound on my computer down a bunch so it wouldnt freeze every few seconds because that D9G is so loud!! Plus, TH-cam still says it isnt fully processed and it was loaded days ago. That Caterpillar diesel engine in the D9G must be wicked in real life!
@dieseldave71 Clearly this dozer doesn't have a angle blade that your D9 has. The angle I am talking about is when the tilt cylinder tilts the corner of the blade to the left \ or right /.
@YaDunn0 I was making a long video and the video resolution was lowered in order to keep the file size smaller than that of 1080p. It takes hours to upload 500-900mb.
I know how different material can look "easy" and yet be very abrasive, or sticky, either one. So I won't be one sitting here a thousand miles away with a lot of advice! But one thing I always did was to dig a fair blade full and leave it partway to the fill/waste area, then go back and do it again, even if I stacked three piles on the way, instead of one blade the whole way. In other words I didn't try to dig...(put enough pressure on the blade) to make it "Full" all the way. Too much effort in 12 hours, too much track, too much fuel and oil! By pushing a blade load into an already loose pile, I gained more yardage less effort, even when I was loosing part of it over the next 20 feet. But that way I was building berms, which also gave more yardage less effort. Ran all kinds for 46 years, but dozers were my personal payday....gave the checks to the family 🤣🤣🤣
mogges YEARS AGO I WENT TO WORK IN THE WOODS LOGGING, THE SIDEROD PUT ME ON AN OLD SLIDE BAR D82U, THE RAILS WERE SO THIN YOU COULD ALMOST SEE THRU THEM. HE TOLD ME AS LONG AS THAT CAT RUNS YOU HAVE A JOB SO I LEARNED HOW TO WORK IT AND BABY IT IT WAS A VALUABLE EXPERIENCE
Yeh! Its lumbering along alright. Certainly not working. But shes all torque. Its probably sitting on 1400rpm. Me personally would have it singing a bit higher just so i didnt nod off. 1600 gets most big diesels in there sweet spot. These old blokes will tell you otherwise but you wont kill the fucking things. Theres a lot of these old girls hidden around the traps here in Aus if your looking for them. Most of them had a ball and chain hanging off the ass end of them.
I own a smaller one a D 7 G great cat use it every day earth moving an clearing there great machines no electronics or def but when they break an if your not savy on repairing these machines like that D 9 G go get your piggy bank
That ol' 9 is right in it's element! It's a great machine with a great operator....thanks for the video!
Love looking at the old CAT dozers in action. Great video
Nice old 9. It sounds good and pushes a large load of dirt. Better than a new one.

The Good old D9G can push anything a modern machine can
nothing like the growl of a big diesel Cat

Wonderful equipment

@srgarza2007 We collect machines and put them to work when we can afford it.
hey do you collect machines for a leaving or do you fix them and then resale them I have seen lots of videos of your with different types of machines.
I do tractor work myself and I use old equipment so I use it really easy myself
very nice

@dirtshower250 Yes the blade will angle left or right.
That is a tilt bull blade or straight blade in order to have a angle blade you need a C frame with push arms and they also tilt hydraulic or manual
What a grunter.
How many D9S have you got?
can u angle the blade on that?
Looking for a D9 that in good condition like this one. Anyone can point me in the right direction in Canada
@DieselPowerTV Really? looks like an "S" blade with a tilt cylinder to me. I can't see how it could angle???
I'm just learn how to operate a dozer.not sure but isnt he taking to big a bit on each cut.
I'm no dozer operater, but I thought he's not getting in no hurry

I know you're trying to be easy on her but its ok to use full throttle it wont hurt it, I promise
No its not ok to use full throttle....you are definitely not acquainted to this type of equipment, Torque converters, loads etc.

cat makes a muffler for that d9 it will quiet it up a lot
rock dawg I think it sounds great the way it is
I'd be interested if you still felt the same after sitting behind it for a 10 or 12 hour shift.
