People are quick to make assumptions. I spent a fair amount of time running an 880 multiwheel with a 45 yd U blade at the sweetwater uranium mill by Rawlins Wyoming in 2000. The machine was rather cumbersome, it required special techniques to steer it, as opposed to a track type dozer. It was a skid steer, but due to its size and weight, similar to a D11 cat, it didnt skid as well as expected, hence the techniques to steer it. But it was no slouch pushing. It could push that 45 yd U blade with full loads in 2nd gear with relative ease. We always pushed in second because it tended to break axles once in awhile when pushing in 1st. Repair was simple as they were floating axles, provided you had replacements. It was not as good of an all around dozer as a crawler, but it worked pretty well in fill and dump sites, or coal poles where you leveled and packed materials. It wasn't the best dozer ever, but it could definitely push.
Hey guys thsi video does really give you the true sense of how big this machine really is, trust me its an extremely LARGE unit. It was a custom build engineered by a fellow named Sill Melroe out of Gwinner ND and I believe it was used primarily at he Kotuo coal power plant N of Bismarck and it was used with great success for many years, I know the engines have been rebuilt or replaced at least twice very possibly more times. I know when I first looked at and sat in the cab of this machine my thoughts were like some of yours, what a pile of crap, but after a bit more research at THE TIME this machine could move more coal than any other piece of equipment on site and it was that way for close to 9 years. When it was retired North American Coal Corporation donated the machine to Bonanza Ville in West Fargo ND and that is where it sits now!!
There used to be a piece of equipment with 8 wheels like this on the South side of Nashville, TN. I saw it back in the 1980s. It had no blade or ripper and I never knew what it was for. I thought at the time it might have been used by the railroad since it was close to the CSX tracks.
As is often the case with YT videos, the operator doesn't have a clue. I would love to see this in the hands of someone capable of giving it a real workout!
2:30 any problems with the left transmission?? the righe wheels work,and the machine rotates,the engines work hardly,but the left wheels dont run. I think the engines are little to move this machine. Min 500 hp each. the left engine,sure the turbo is bad.
Also, the machine is bi-directional and you can mount the implements at either end. The 880 in Rawlins had the 45 yd U blade at one end, and a cushion blade at the other. Later they brought out a 28 ft wide, 6 way blade. I tried to talk them into swapping it with the cushion blade, which we weren't using, so we could doze in both directions. We were doing reclamation, hauling dirt into the fill with huge belly dumps hauling 120 yes at a time. The dozer was just leveling and packing the loads. I thought it would work well, dozing in both directions in that scenario, instead of backing up for each push, besides giving the dozer the versatility of a functional u blade at one end and a 6 way angle at the other, but the bosses couldn't grasp that concept. There is a video on u-tube showing an 880 pushing, just put in 880 multi wheel.
that's a big dozer , never seen that type before but i am sure back in the day was a monster ! It seems to me she has some skid steering system going on . am i correct ?
I well remember that one. It looks a awful lot like the one in the vid. It was custom built by a Nashville outfit though. It was built as a scraper pusher, but it never did go to its first job. It sat on that corner in Nashville for 20 years or more, they finally cut it up for scrap a few years ago.
Lots of traction and black smoke but the attachment points don’t look like they can handle dozer power. The push blade looks like a snow plow and the rippers are no where near D10 strength. No my friend coal must not be very dense and heavy when broken up but the stock piles will compact apparently and that’s what the rippers are for
Да большая чудо машина базара нет. Но что если он сам еле поворачивается а с грентом вообще будет мне кажется фиаско. Как вариант не на той передаче все это демонстрировалось
I have see pictures of these but have not seen a video of one operating. I like the design in that the operator would have good visibility of the work area.
Dear Santa, Can I have a Buffalo coal dozer with not one but 2 cummins engines in it next Christmas please, even though I have been a good boy if you wish you can leave some coal in the yard also for me to push around. Thanks Santa, Sincerely.....Big engine fan.😁
I have driven some pretty good size machines in my day but this one is pretty sick. barely enough power to move itself little own do some work. Guess that is why it is parked. no one wants it and too much money to fix it up.
No, he means to BUILD the silage pit. Spread the stuff out and compact it. Not sure that it would be agile enough though. Besides, getting it to the site would pose a couple of problems at least.

I help build seven pf those machine's back in 1978.First time seeing it run. Always wondered what happened to them.

Melroe came out with Bobcat didn't they? I remember the name being on the early ones.
His first Bobcat was the M60. It had three wheels and no cab.
Good to know... I get back to Fargo every now and again to visit my family in SD...
I a like how that little bugger goes forward and then later on it reverses very good and with stunning power.
Never seen anything like that before. Awesome.. love old American heavy equipment
That thing creates its own weather patterns

Man this is an awesome powerful machine! Never seen one that looks like this
As is often the case with YT videos, the operator doesn't have a clue. I would love to see this in the hands of someone capable of giving it a real workout!
Looks like a cross between a dozer, grader and loader with a bit of snow plow and bicycle thrown in.
IT GOT A TUG BOAT WHEEL HOUSE
I like this beast to add to my Tonka collection
2:30 any problems with the left transmission?? the righe wheels work,and the machine rotates,the engines work hardly,but the left wheels dont run. I think the engines are little to move this machine. Min 500 hp each. the left engine,sure the turbo is bad.
Would make one hell of a snow pusher though
Больше вопросов чем ответов, зачем этот пепелац нужен? Не проще и дешевле бульдозер?
Оборотов не берет,дымит...про толкать что то вообще молчу)))
Как неуловимый Джо!
Parece um rebocador de navios, mas esse é com pneus.
I think it roals more coal than it could push!
Wow Big machine Quite a wheel horse Looks as if checking controls to verify everything functions

Putz,aí sim e máquina,olha o ronco do motor, top 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷😎
Hello, can I post this video of you on my Facebook heavy machinery page? I found this video very cool and the viewers will like it very much.
Looks like a reasonable design, why not? I guess it pushes coal relatively long distances, no need for sharp turns.
That thing is cool but that was painful to watch.
Is this Gerald Gentleman power plant in Sutherland, NE? Sure looks like it, I wonder what the hours are I would imagine in the 10's of thousands!
Yeah, thats the place.. you can see this dozer on google maps. It had 7400+ hours on it.
Like a terex dozer 2 engines running different sides
Looks like the driver's dad was coming home soon and just went back and forth to prove a point.
он только по прямой ездит?
Ten pług przy tym podwoziu to chyba jest do przesuwania wiór drewnianych ? :-)
First time seeing one of these what in the hell, what a unit.
Looks like its been sitting a while, I do understand the design of the cab and such.
An engineer by the name of Fay Garner at Melroe Muti-Wheel in Longmont Colorado was the brain child behind this machine.
That's one big bobcat ;) :)
Are there any plans to produce any more of these machines?
No, but there are a few still in service.. Hanford waste site uses one.
Looks like a mad max vehicle
Looks like the wheelhouse off a tugboat!

Mark McCormick they call that tug old somokey lol
Perfect!
Mark McCormick .... Or a Guard Tower from a prison yard. Well the top part anyways.
Totally! this bi#ch is SUPERMAX!!!
So it plows coal while it rolls coal seems like logic too me.
I know that its probably too late to ask but is this for sale still?
that's a big dozer , never seen that type before but i am sure back in the day was a monster ! It seems to me she has some skid steering system going on . am i correct ?
That sure wasn't click bait. It was areal picture.
Click bait for heavy equipment enthusiasts.
That looks like one that i saw in Nashville Tn but it didn't have a blade or rippers
jdan150 I remember that one. It sat in a small parking lot on Spence Lane. I never knew what it was. It's gone now.
I saw it too, actually stopped, took pics and checked it out.
I remember that too!
I well remember that one. It looks a awful lot like the one in the vid. It was custom built by a Nashville outfit though. It was built as a scraper pusher, but it never did go to its first job.
It sat on that corner in Nashville for 20 years or more, they finally cut it up for scrap a few years ago.
Could repurpose it to move snow
Okay now I get it, there's a link from the selling page. I have seen these and they are HUGE beyond the small screen's ability to envision.
Lots of traction and black smoke but the attachment points don’t look like they can handle dozer power. The push blade looks like a snow plow and the rippers are no where near D10 strength. No my friend coal must not be very dense and heavy when broken up but the stock piles will compact apparently and that’s what the rippers are for
How many tires do you change when turning?
Well, it's not exactly nippy, is it! But very interesting to see a giant skid steer wheeled vehicle.
The one were i worked at in the 1980's was powered by twin 8v92's
Maybe a stupid question but how does it turn around at curves? Like a tank?
One motor pulled one side so yes. Slow one and hammer the other.
Skid Steer. Not much of a video..............
That's all it is. Not much of a machine either really.
Sounds and runs a bit Off.. This machine when new back in it's day would have moved My. Everest....👍👍👍
Can see why it never caught on. Bad idea.
It struggles to move itself, cannot imagine what would happen if the ripper or blade was lowered!
Nicholas Pratt Its in low Gear you fuck!
This is how it should move if it was anywhere near fit.
th-cam.com/video/rFYPMjnXkFM/w-d-xo.html
VERY good video link! Thanks, Nick!
007 Moonrover! or world's largest skidsteer.
What was this machine built for?
Силён бродяга!!!
Да большая чудо машина базара нет. Но что если он сам еле поворачивается а с грентом вообще будет мне кажется фиаско.
Как вариант не на той передаче все это демонстрировалось
So its a big ass skid steer.
Probably just doesn't get worked enough...cool to see...
I'm sure maintenance costs killed that thing, like the old Terex dozers with 2 engines. Never seen one before. Probably not many produced
This is what you get when you take the hull away from tug boat.
Funnily - I had the same thought!
Cabin look like air trafic control tower😉
Amazing this machine. Can i post this video in my facebook page, please?
go ahead
Where is located. its for sale
dont look like it can push itself yet alone coal
What is this?
Boat anchor for a Battleship?
Monster snow clearing machine for motor ways 🤔🤔😨😨😨😨😎
Stuff nightmares are made of ... awesome
How is it the stuff of nightmares?
I have see pictures of these but have not seen a video of one operating. I like the design in that the operator would have good visibility of the work area.
Reminds me of my exwife....blows a lot of smoke and makes a lot more noise.
A good feature for a sci-fi film
O ronco do motor é lindo
Не понял, о чём видео?
amazing machine
This puts monster truck’s to shame lol 🤣🤣
Hanford nuclear waste site still uses one of these as a prime mover.
Damn, this beast has enough torque to peel a priest off a choir boy!
Kirk Hermary good Christ!
Loool.....nice one
That's the sickest thing I've heard on here in a while. Hilarious though. 🤣🤣🤣
should be in a collection.

amazing machine what a beast what was it used for what is Buffalo coal ??
Bearwood Brown M870 Buffalo, Coal dozer...I'm going to go out on a limb here and say to push coal.
Only a fucking idiot would ask someone what a COAL DOZER was used for. Are you really THAT fucking stupid??
So much easier to post an inane comment that to search for information isn't it.
th-cam.com/video/rFYPMjnXkFM/w-d-xo.html
I would think the comments about slow speed may be due to the gearing needed to push a large amount of coal
Man imagine all the snow you could push with that eh..
Dear Santa, Can I have a Buffalo coal dozer with not one but 2 cummins engines in it next Christmas please, even though I have been a good boy if you wish you can leave some coal in the yard also for me to push around. Thanks Santa, Sincerely.....Big engine fan.😁
I'd like to run one with 2 8V-92's in it. The coal would fly then!
TheRebelOne hoho yes I will deliver it next week that will be 51.000000
TheRebelOne nigiotiirijgkgiivi8brgivfivi ihivii
That should be in Grandtheft auto.
I have driven some pretty good size machines in my day but this one is pretty sick.
barely enough power to move itself little own do some work.
Guess that is why it is parked. no one wants it and too much money to fix it up.
Worlds largest skid steer
Он сам себя не тянет
Сил хватило только отвал поднять...
Это вообще что за уйобище
@@КалелСмайлов это такой бульдозер
Not enough power IT NEEDS THE BIG CATS THAT EMD USE IN THEIR LOCOMOTIVERS OR THE CUMMINS IN THE SEMINS CHARGER LOCOMOTIVES
นี่แค่ติดเครื่องเฉยๆนะ ถ้าไปดันดินหนักๆกูว่าควันคงมืดฟ้ามัวดิน😆
Obviously not very nimble. Maybe on a long it could perform much better but the wheel base is huge
I'd say who ever designed it was inspired by le tourno. That thing looks fun though.
weirdest machine ever seen and i saw a large varieties of machines
Нахера ему такой отвал , если он сам передвигается с трудом ?
Ironically it obstracts materials that it runs on
Looks like a tug boat on wheels
monster machine
Looks like someone made it from a tugboat
have it on sileage pit :D
Excellent suggestion, but will be hard for the cattle to chew. :) 100 tonnes!
No, he means to BUILD the silage pit. Spread the stuff out and compact it.
Not sure that it would be agile enough though. Besides, getting it to the site would pose a couple of problems at least.
Yeah. I meant the silage will be very compacted with a 100 tonnes machine. Not healty for the cows to eat the dozer anyway !
That's what I thought........b great on concrete pad to push up corn silage and compact it very tight.......
tem que ter um taque de 30.000 litros de conbustivel atras dele
Isso é um monstro
I love this thing
It's like big Bobcat
Looks like it burns coal too.
Sounds like a cat or Bad Cummins
It's kinda sick!
