Very good video. Just found your channel and I’m impressed. It is good to see a younger operator operating with respect to his machine. Stay safe and enjoy your work
Hello James the man behind the controls beautiful weather excellent video excellent job you dont need no stinking automatic leveling floating or gps you are the Man thanks for sharing thank you ken
The ‘ole komatsu seems to be working pretty good, she don’t seem to miss a beat. Good job on the road, dad’ll be proud. Kudos from windy n rainy Newfoundland.
My first time viewing your channel. A very great first impression. I'll be back. I've got several channels I watch regularly. Yours became one of them today.
Love that you don’t have shiny new cat stuff! I am an Orange bleeder as well! Newest we have is a 1972 210: Our nest IH tractors are two 1981 3788 2plus2’s and a 1976 Steiger. Love the old Mack trucks!
Im on a 2024 Komatsu D61 right now, its nice I like it but I grew up the on old 70’s and 80’s Dresser, Cat and Komatsu like this and I miss em, muscle memory is still there wanting to pull those levers ha. Glad to see this old machine still goin strong
Bonjour James , très bon rendu la machine ,réagie vite , suivant ta demande ,c'est du bon travail elle me parait tres efficace et maniable ce qui n'est pas le cas de toute les marques excellente vidéo avec le double plan d'image ! 👍👍👍 Merci . salutation mon ami .
Man that's my dream job, would love to bring a little camper trailer up there and rough it while I build the road every day. Wake up at the job site every morn with fresh coffee lol
Me and Dad did something similar to that once before. We had a big road job near Summerville WV, it took a month and we stay in a house that was being renovated and come back home on the weekends. That was a interesting experience
great video! I wish someone would take the time to do this with an old cat 12 grader. Most people just show them running it without any information on controls.
We’ve got a D31 as well, lots a power for a smaller machine, just with a canopy. Nice little dozer, not the wide track though but I’ve ran one before and it graded very well.
They are excellent, there is a little difference between the D53 and the D58 that we have because the other D58 is actually more stable than this one, just going on feel from one to the other. The blades are strong too the hold up well.
Is the 58 newer then or how does their number work? I guess they are close to a D5 in size? I used to do a lot of that kind of work, we did ATV trails for the county parks in the fall I ran a d4h at that time. Had to go out in the winter sometimes for loggers and plow the snow off to freeze the swamps down for winter logging too.
@@stevenlitvinchyk When I first started working we did a lot of roads in the mountains. You definitely needed to walk and find the best way. On this job I was further east, away from the mountains.
@AppalachianRust pull the outside into the middle of the road. Then you have drainage ditches on both sides. Otherwise you keep going down and the road is the lowest point and water sits.
@@williammorigeau2980 ok yeah on this road it will have to be closed out to water dips to turn the water off. if you've got ditches you really will need pipes and at that point your getting into so expense. this is just to get timber out and most of the time no matter what you build its got to be reworked at the end of the timber job

Awesome videos, sir! I love seeing the older iron still earning.

Never watched a video of someone run a dozer clear cutting a path through the woods. This was badass I think I need to get one

@@randytedford6108 Glad to hear it!

Nice! Dad has always wanted a nice 8030 AC 4x4. We’ve got a newer AGCO but it’s not as strong as the old iron
Man I enjoy these films!

Man that road is looking great buddy. Love the sound of that dozer.
Yeah it does sound good it’s got good power too
Thanks for taking the time for a great and informative video!
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it.

@@lifeinbuyck thank you, glad you found it interesting.
Nice dozer. I have a komatsu d31p wide track caged for forestry. Wish it was enclosed like urs .
We’ve got a D31 as well, lots a power for a smaller machine, just with a canopy. Nice little dozer, not the wide track though but I’ve ran one before and it graded very well.
Looks nice, seems like those komatsus got a lot of track on the ground, makes it nicer for leveling. Must be good old dozers, I’ve never run one.

@@rustyoldjunk they are the same machine. The D58 was sold in the US. The D53 was Japan and at some point made its way over
Stand on it Roscoe 🎉🎉🎉😮😮
It's good work when you can get it (:>)==( THANKS JAMES 😊😊😊
Bring some flagging tape when you walk it off!
@@stevenlitvinchyk usually do. But it was so thick with briars it would have took all day just to flag.
@@AppalachianRust I hear you I have blood in every state in New England plus here we have nothing, but ledge and you have to route around that

You should turn pike your road.
I’m curious, what you mean.

@@AppalachianRust okay sounds right
