i work at the Caterpillar plant in East Peoria, Illinois, USA where we build the D8,D9,D10, and D11 dozers. almost every frame (other than military dozers and a few others) has a flag painted on the inside of the frame of what country they’re going to. kinda cool to see where they end up.
That's badass
Legit? I have the caterpillar plant by me in Aurora. Looked like they did loaders excavators etc. I never saw a massive D11 unfortunately in that plant.
I did some work at that plant. We brought a john deere track hoe. A manager walked out and said "no no no."
@@kalebhusser3877 that one closed down like years ago
@@AntonioHernandez-bw9bt yea I do know that, I believe the office is open. Closed because tax evasion? If I’m right.
"You want to work with your Machine, instead of working on it". I think that is one of the Smartest things I have ever heard Tony say. I really do like that.
Need my boss to hear that one lol
@@davidfirth9342 imagine if Tony was black 🤔🚬
@@goodnightmunchie why 😂
@@davidfirth9342 ó
Amen
It's amazing how Tony managed to take a look at his $3.5 million cab, on a $1.3 million Bulldozer. That really takes some skills!
Thats what i was thinking lmao
1.3 Million VOLVO Excavator
3.5 Million D11
@@jameslindley924 Title says 1.3 Million Bulldozer. And in the feed i just seen a title, tony needs a 2.5 million dozer. So they basically just thro w around random numbers all the time for drama lol. Hence the dramatic music all the time for standard jobs that millions do all the time aroudn the world like driving and handling heavy machines very precicely.
@@phoenixsui
Yep ! I get that ! 😃
Over dramatized crap
He’s all happy now until he gets his first emissions code an it goes into limp mode
This comment is so underrated only people that struggle with this would understand 😂😂😂
It'll be quietly deleted for sure. Not a chance CAT will leave an unfiltered Tony on a TV show with a dozer crippled up by the DPF system.
@@cristiantoledo1962 😂😂 it’s going to happen. There’s absolutely no way around it. Not a matter of if but when
That thing was deleted before it even came off the trailer.
@@Ma_Deuce you’re right all depends on regulations
This show has always been great for 1 thing.Stating the obvious."The faster we get to work,the more gold we will find".
It's honestly a wild concept in this era.
@@deadeyeduncan5022 I agree.But I also know the Beets crew has a 9000 ounce goal,but if they don't get 9000 ounces of gold,they won't meet that.
@@pallmall5495 for every hour they aren't washing pay dirt, they're losing a lot of money each hour
@@raymond5097 One time the loader went down that was loading pay dirt into the plant.While the loader was down,they couldn't load pay.It looked like the end of their season,but 15 minutes later they were loading pay again.
the part that gets me annoyed is when they act like if they don't get the gold out of the ground this season then they won't get it, nope they'll just get it next year. yeah there are costs associated with downtime but it's not like the gold in the ground vaporizes if they don't get it this season.
Discovery-"Tony's new $1.3M bulldozer needs to be assembled"
Tony-"I love my $3.5M bulldozer"
Mike-"Thanks for my new office in the $2.3M bulldozer".
Monica-"Can I drive the new $4.6M bulldozer?"
Minnie-"Wow, we spent $5.3M on a new D11 bulldozer"
Cat salesman-"Hey Tony, how do you like your new $7.1M D11?"
And the editing on this show is really bad. Yellow blade, then grey blade, dirty D11, then new looking D11 etc.
I bet it uses 100,000 gallons of fuel an hour. Says Discovery channel
Haha I noticed that's the price go's up threw the whole vid lmao
Absolutely
Inflation must be really high in the Yukon.
i was wondering about that yellow blade weird
This show would dramatize putting on shoes if they could.
But wait..there's a knot! ..commercial 😄
Lol that’s what I have thought before as well it’s getting ridiculous with the over Dramatic music just to put the track on or to drive off a trailer
@Marina Lovely scamming is illegal, classified under U.S law and punishable by servers years of jail time
Mike's next harrowing step is tying the laces. An operation fraught with peril. One wrong move will result in a knot so tight as to both destroy the shoe and amputate a finger.
The faster you put your shoes on, the more gold we will find.
Epitomizes why I don’t watch the show anymore. It’s awesome he bought a huge new machine to go mine with and I love to watch them put it together and work it, but I can’t stand the fake drama where we pretend this is some insurmountable, scary, unique situation that must be overcome. This same procedure is done anytime a d11 is moved and while it’s interesting on its own, it does not need the climactic hype.
yea listening to them ring the buzz words over and over and over again. its like theres an EP running around with a huge cue card that reads "9 THOUSAND OUNCES A SEASON!!!" and "any number than A MILLION DOLLARS!!" like we are all excited that shit is expensive. those guys building that dozer must be like OMFG this is worse than the kardashians. just one piece of meaningless fluff after another. also the narrator is a tool.
It does if you want the average mouth breathing couch potato to tune in.
The same dramatic hype is seen on " Ice Road Truckers"... this hype is for the uneducated naive couch potato public.
That’s what happens when the vast majority of the viewers have no clue what is really going on. All of the reality #hows are done this way, I still enjoy watching what they do over 90% of what is on TV etc…. All about marketing……..
same with the fake new machine... look at the blade, tracks and ripper., no way would they be that worn already unless they used it for 20 hours before filming.. even then the blade wouldnt lose that much paint.
Beets is the man love his work effort and how he and his family has persevered.
Dude hes a hard working olboy. I remember working 224 hours every 14 days on the rigs. Damn well miss the good days of hard work and hard play.
The operator that put the track frame on the pin did a bang-up job. Smooth and gentle. Tony is a modern day gold prospector. These machines make this job easier.... Best of luck to you & your crew. Stay safe and make that money...
I love how he tells the Cat mechanics what to do as if their not trained how to put track frames on lol
Tony's used to being in charge and giving orders, plus I bet the mechanics are used to it from dealing with construction and industrial foremen.
Normally if there was no tv crew there wouldn’t be some fuckin old idiot getting in the way
"The best thing about your retirement is that it will also be your funeral"
Thats the exact thing i always tell my dad, my dad a different breed like this guy, i have so much respect for people like them.
That generation is just so different to mine.
Retired operating engineer worked on these heavy duty equipment for 40 years enjoyed watching this video.
Tony is an inspiration to see my grandfather was 83 the day before he passed away I worked with him poring new sidewalk around his church we spread and finished 90 yards of concrete with him a kid helper and myself the day later he took grandma shopping and after several hours he had a heart attack they took him to the hospital and several hours later he passed away he was a great man who worked very hard for his family to have a better life my dad waisted all of his money it's sickening
way better than dying in a nursing home
Imagine working 80 years to die without day off
It's men like this that inspire me to push forward in my company!!! .... him and his family are great people to follow in there endeavors. God bless them all .
“Work with the equipment, not on it”
Great quote
If you can’t fix it you shouldn’t own it
Tony is preparing his family for their future..good dude..he has the best crew and operation
@@Tyler-zw4kq I think it’s the gold he’s finding and holding onto for its value or the credit accrued from being able to run a multi million dollar business every year for 20 years etc etc
i mean i would just buy a used veyron
I'll give you $5 if you tell me how many times Discovery added super hype super exciting music to an every day event in this clip
I will tell you, if you give my $5 for every time they did it ;)
They had an orchestra brought onsite behind the camera crew, tough bastards they wear tuxedos and brave the cold
@@finnthehuman2818 the only comment ive gotten in the last 5 years on youtube that wasn't an insult!! thanks!!!
D11 dozer- $3.5 million
Not giving a tv personality a CAT jacket….priceless
Best comment
They probably wanted 200$ for that jacket
Caterpillar Inc. would NOT give as much as a safety pin free... leave alone a CAT jacket. Stingy miserly company..
@Tony Roulette Wow. Although my Deere dealer charges obscene money for parts, and labor, they have been very generous with our animal rescue. I have no experience with CAT.
@@emmettkelly7465 Trash ass company. Stay away from cat. go Kubota or German. Any japanese or german brand tbh
"The older you get the harder it is to get up and get going".....this dude probably wakes up at 4:30am
Yep just need a little push some days 😃
Facts😂
I'm 67 years old......you sleep through until 430am? Slacker
Don't we all?
I have great respect and admiration for tony beets and his team old school you cannot beat it 👍👍👍😎
I remember on Gold Rush when his workers from the dredge were bad-mouthing the operation. He booted them out of their warm beds in the company trailer and sent them packing.
Congratulations! New Caterpillar! Interesting! Informative! Educational! Watching from Los Angeles, CA Steve Miller.
Absolutely insane machine 💪
Machines like this fascinate me. Seeing some of the Shuttle crawler when I was a kid in FL blew my mind, the scale of some of those things..
Check out the SPMT SpaceX has for Starship.
I had no idea this show was still on. Been great cutting the cord and avoiding the forced drama.
the fake drama is so outdated (and unneeded)
i like the digging and mining they never show it
are you referring to the dramatic music?
Who even watches this horrible show?
Impressive bit of kit! Brilliant video 💪🏻 🏴
Happy like a kid with his new D11, Big Tony!!
Oh wow Impressed with CAT and sending those guys out. Also the dozer track frames hoisting eye is centered perfectly balanced… thoughtful design in manufacturing
When I build parts or rebuild and refurbish I HAVE TO be bang on with my measurements so everything works flawlessly for the assemblers
The dozer went from being brand new with the tracks and blade nicely painted to instantly no paint on either. Sometimes I get the feeling Discovery thinks I'm stupid.
The paint comes off when you use it...
The paint disappears if you look at it wrong it’s literally only there so the blades not already covered in surface rust when it’s delivered
Ummmm . . .
In this case, you are stupid. Because you really think the paint stays on the tracks and blade on a dozer when it's getting used. 30 seconds into dirt and the paint on the blade is gone.
“We got a little bit of trouble it’s goin to smooth since everythin is new” I love Tony’s outlook on life
Super Dozer !!! Отличная машина, ура Тони !!!
He will make his money back in no time for the dozer...
tony is a true OG. gets things done
Excellent presentation thanks, the boss seemed to really know the score
this is what i was waiting for. tony ended up buying the d11r. amazing tony. good job.
Yeah, love it. Such a big dozer, will do a great job for Tony and his crew
@@dirkkorpershoek92 111111
He Didn't buy a D11R He Brought A New Generation D11 The D11R is an older model of Dozer you can even see in the video that it is a New Generation D11 it only has D11 On it because they discontinued the D11T Dozer.
@@Fossil1111 Literally the same thing dude. Get over yourself. Cat removed the letters from all their machines.
Tony, your one hard working guy.. Respect for you and your entire crew...
Never noticed that Tony has such a strong Dutch accent. In Germany we have a kind of voice over on this series - this destroys a lot of the original conversations.
Haha I am also watching from Germany and saw this clip now for the first time in English and I must say, that I really like this accent he has and I have never heard it before. Worst accent for me is Australian, British and Denglish. And Indian. But I also realized they show some different frames, parts and conversations in the German version compared to this one. The whole part were Mike struggles to turn around the chain for like 5min is completely cut out here in the original version.. thought it would be the other way round..
Whoever at Discovery that has to blur out all the CAT logos for the TV edit due to their deal with Volvo is going to have their work cut out for them with Tony
Love how he went into flight attendant mode when he said probably on your touch screen
Tony with the Volvo jacket in the cat
I’m glad they are still following Tony’s adventures
Should spend a few dollars on a DEF delete system before he learns a few new curse words
That's what I was thinking when he said reliable. Not with that shit in place.
Not until the warrantee runs out though because Cat won't cover any engine problems after.
Generally off-road construction equipment doesn't have all the DEF/DPF garbage = they are exempt.
@@jonmccormick8683 yeah that's not true In the least. Buy a piece of equipment and tell us all about the DEF.
@@jonmccormick8683 you'd be wrong boss
These guys make this series . At one point I nearly stopped watching then Tony Beets arrived
He needs his own channel 😂
Agree he’s very authentic . Proper old school grafter
Congrats Tony. You sir are a cut throat warrior of a worker.
These cats are beasts!! Can’t believe it took you guys this long to get one there.
That's the worlds 2nd largest bulldozer but it is the worlds nicest bulldozer. CAT makes amazing machines. The larges I've ran has been a D9 XL but I can imagine that D11 is just as awesome an experience. It doesn't get anymore top of the line than this tractor. Really awesome.
Hey , how much will be a D11 N type ? I just wanna get one for my garage for display
At one time the blades, endbits, ripper shroud and the 39R16 ripper point were made at ESCO CORP in Newton, MS. They were poured in 12S alloy. I was a manager in heat treat at the time.
What a great show.
A little background on CAT. Caterpillar Inc. builds the equipment. They "sell it to a dealer" and the "dealer sells it to a customer". Dealers have a "territory", if they sell outsider their territory, they "share" the profit with the dealer that covers that "territory". CAT stocks warehouses around the world and dealers order
parts from those warehouses. The connections between dealers and CAT Inc. are quite complicated.
Fabick Tractor in St.Louis, MO. sold a lot of the equipment that built the Alaskan Pipeline and they paid the dealer for Alaska 10% of what he made on the deal.
Tony u r the best. No beating around the bush wit u.say it the way it is. 👍😎🇨🇦
Arrives in the yukon with $300 to his name... now he is buying 3.5 million dollar bulldozers.
That is a self made man.
For sure
Not bashing what Tony has done cause I'm sure he was successful before the show but I'm also sure that having a very popular show on discovery Channel has gotten him alot of sponsors and deals
Or a load of gold-plated bullshit.
If you really believe that I got some swamp land in Florida for sale hey it’s also got gold on it I don’t believe he only had 300 wen tParker come to him back in the day to see Tony’s operation it was making large so you think these guys are gonna tell you how much they have don’t think so that like telling the feds so you can pay a million in taxes they have ther little stashes and I’m sure ther not little you only see what they want you to see he was worth millions before the show so anytime you wanna buy some swamp land with gold on it let me know cheap lol
@@aaronfarnell9575 the guy that made comment don’t know what he’s talking about these guys have money and had money before the show started tony had a huge operation before tv Parker went ther to check out how he operated cause hands down tony beets is the smartest gold miner out ther Hoffmann are Miley mouse he did the smartest thing buying new dozer excavator and rock trucks it’s a rite off at least some plus he’s not going to be down like other guys that’s how you run a operation new equipment this will put him to the top he’s probably already at the top if i Was going to work for a operation it would be him he is a smart man
8:05- A totally brand-new-yellow blade
8:30- A totally old-worn-grey blade
Dosent take long when it’s used 14+ hours a day
@@bradleycittel1156 dude stop. At that point it hadn’t been used at all.
@@Invictus13666 you do know that they probably take footage months apart and slap it into one video. That dozer could of been 1 month old by the time they took the shots of the blade with no paint on it 🙄
I reckon
He swapped the blades over, so the new one was for back up....
@@lorrainedimmock4096 yes. He swapped over 5 minutes after spending an hour attaching the damn thing. God. You’re so fortunate humans have a brain stem, brcause your conscious mind is too stupid to even breathe on its own.
Wow, amazing video, thanks for sharing.
Stepping it up with a D11 👊💯👊💯👊
Either go big or go home, that is an impressive machine.
Did anyone else notice that the video says $3.5 million but the title says 1.3 million
And the narrator first says it cost $3.4m but later on says $3.5m…
Did you notice they said equipment cost and he also bought an excavator?
Man she's a beeuutee!!! Congrats Beets boys she's a fine machine 👍
Great Show Tony
Fantastic American made product.
Excellent choice
made with Chinese parts lol. My Cat stuff has Chinese parts badged Cat on the packet . New small stuff is Mitsubishi
Just like Harley Davidson, assembled here with parts from everywhere else on the planet LOL
Anständiges Equipment erleichtert die Arbeit 👍👍
Tony is the man a man’s man .. TOP G if there ever was one
Tony is a great man. Hard worker. It looks like he has prepared the next generation well to take over when he does decided to retire.
first clip of tony ive seen were he isnt shouting at someone lol
Its true the older one gets the bigger the toys get... Ya gota love Tony.
Why? I've never seen him before, but I already despise him and everything about this ridiculous programme.
Beauties! Way to go Tony!
Absolutely a beautiful D11 😎
Tony I am proud of you! I have to say there wasn’t one foul word said. Well done on the new dozer. I’ll be waiting for good news on hitting pay dirt.
Not one foul word said? Ahhh, the power of editing
@@benrivenbark he swears like a black man 🤨🚬
Just looking at that blade attachment, it doesn't look like its strong for back blading. Do you ever back blade with a machine like this?
@@geepuller1 Large dozers can't back blade only really small ones can and none should.
studies show that people who swear a lot have higher intellect, better start swearing like a seaman
That baby will last thousands of hours. A new XR9 John Deere combine with 45 foot header is one point three million Canadian.
Life expectancy maybe 7000hrs for the machine. In that time the electronic sensors will have it sitting idle dozens of times.
Think you got a deal sir.
Great video thanks
Tony you and your family are definitely off to the races with MONSTER BULLDOZER, God Speed.
When you get to be someone like Tony and achieve the things he has, getting a brand new D-11 is better than sex, or the birth of your child lmao. That thing is a beaut!
I’d love to be on that.
I miss working on the dozers.
What happened?
@@kcook8119
Power stations where I worked closed down.
The music sounds like something is going happen something bad 😂😂
That’s a badass D11 Dozer. 🔥
Beautiful new dozer. Is interesting they didn't grease the pins before putting the track frames on. I would have thought that was a mistake if all those Cat service trucks weren't there.
Heavy equipment operator checking in here I love this show and the family values they have in it any way the d11 omg this is a machine ho ho ho as Tim Allen would say lol I’ve been honoured in operating one of these babies for 11.5 months it was a serious machine makes you feel like a child with a new toy again have fun tony
D11 Binford 6100 R ho ho ho
I have over 20,000 hours running the D-11’s everyday is an adventure 😁
@@Homefree18 My fav dozer too. I once ran one on remote control for a couple of months. Kinda weird having a dozer follow you down the road behind your pickup with nobody in it.
This bulldozer looks awesome 👌!!👍👍
Tony sounds just like my grandad a workaholic, my grandad was still working when he was 90.
I heard it's easy to rip the belly out of those 11s , about the same clearance as a 10.
If he's really nervous to kill somebody with crane why not use a tag line or chain when moving it around.
That’s a nice machine.
I saw Tony driving what I realized was a demo model. Dirty, scratches, cracked windshield. Thought that was going to be his rig as "new". Now I am happy to see he got a brand new one.
That “demo” model was actually a customers that the cat rep borrowed so Tony could do a test drive for the show
Hell Yeah! Now thats a Machine.
Cat machine, Volvo jacket. You figure for that money, Cat would throw in a jacket or 2
Couldnt agree more, Especially knowing its going to be on worldwide tv at some time.
Why does nobody on the Beets crew ever use tag lines when handling large suspended loads?
"ain't nobody got time for that"
Because they are vikings!!!
MSHA ain't leaving the warm office for the frozen tundra
wonderful job.. I solute your perseverance
Lmao. That shit will be down in a week😂
Throwing codes left and right..
About time he spent some money .. she always buying rusty junk and wonders why it’s always breaking .. from wash plants and machinery to dredges..
Never mind
When you can only run machinery 7 months out of the year, that's a main reason you see a lot of older iron in the Klondike. Having new iron sitting is expensive.
@@timtwichell1534 Makes sense .. but when you can only run 7 months you want reliable machinery... I guess there's a happy middle ground.
Ok. I have an ask, I have heard like more than three pieces for this monster, of all of these prices, which one is the correct one?
That's what I'm thinking as well.
$2.3 million
Love this show. ❤️
Your machanic I like that cat service truck very nice.👍👍👍
Anyone know how they cleaned all the shmoo off? I don’t know exactly how cold it is, but I imagine too cold to pressure wash or steam Genny it. Of course the easy answer is discovery is a little special and filmed 2 different machines and tried to tell the viewer it’s the same machine, but I don’t think that tony went and bought 2 D11’s.
Notice the portable heating units and flex hose being set up in the background.....They thawed the machine & frozen road grime and pressure washed it off. That is common on any big machine delivery in a cold climate with no indoor option. I spent time on the oilsands of northern Alberta, and big machines are being delivered and or moved daily on those massive operations....Some of those mines might have 50 or more D11's working at any time.
@@timtwichell1534 so how do they keep the whole machine warm enough for long enough that the water from the pressure washer has time to evaporate and not freeze on the machine, and freeze the door shut, freeze inside all the bolt holes, etc? Do they like, tent the vehicle? Or is it just not 20 or 30 below and they don’t have to worry about the water freezing that fast?
@@cnf6045 you answered your own question, they warm the steel up, it takes a bit of time for the heat to radiate back off the machine. The first thing they do is warm the motor up, that does a great deal towards keeping the metal warm enough so that water doesn't freeze the instant it touches the metal. Often it's enough to simply let the motor idle while you're cleaning it - you'll notice, though, they're not doing it in any kind of wind? that's kind of the 'secret' because once the machine warms up, the air next to the machine is warmer then the surrounding air. Add heated pressure washers, and it's pretty easy to get it clean.
@@stoneshrink I mean I figured they used steam generators, not just normal pressure washers, I just didn’t think that engine put off enough heat to warm up the entire machine, idve thought just around the engine bay.
@@timtwichell1534 are the oilsands in Alberta heating up again? Off topic I know lol just been waiting to hop on that oilsands train again
Ahhh brings back memories in the oil fields. My boss rewarded me with a brand new CAT 980K payloader for my promotion. Only I was allowed to operate it. What a great feeling.
worst thing about that though is the first banged up sheet metal or first cigarette burn in the seat,boss man knows exactly who done it.
What mine you working at in Fort McMurray?
@@pallmall5495 trust me where he is working that loader will be well used. A loader that size is used in some hardcore weather and extremely low temperatures. Plus other people will be using that loader from different shifts and teams.
What a beast you never get stuck in traffic in that lol . What a machine 😎👍🏻🇬🇧
Hevy and powerful machines
Good work 💪👷
I wounder if Tony got this just so he could have a larger dozer then Parker.
Parker actually has two D11, but older ones and also five D10 dozers.
Tony should give Mike a nice pat on the back for lining up the D11. He’s good at his job……
I worked on the line where the Cat D-11 is built in Bldg SS in E. Peoria, ill. I was one of guys who filled all the fluids and purged everything in the final bay of the line.
I also did the D-10 case and frame, which is first bay of the line. We got the frames from Bldg LL. and put in transmission and final drives and ran some hydraulic hoses. All Union made equipment
The D-11's are only made in E.Peoria, Ill. Nowhere else in the world.
They are AMAZING to drive!!! Its SUPER EASY, i use to also park em out in the South yard once they were complete.
Legend.
Damn I didn’t realize how big the bucket on that excavator was! It’s half the size of the bed on that giant truck! Not to mention the dozer could probably run over that truck if it needed to, some big ass machines they’ve got there. You often times forget stuff that big even exists until you see it.
Sent from my state of Illinois, home of Caterpillar.
It’s a BLADE, not a bucket🤣🤣
I saw one of these at my local Cat dealer years ago. I’m 6’1” tall and the bottom of that radiator is about head high to me. Very big machine.
I've seen one in the mining show in Vegas, blade is over 20 feet wide. They are massive
Man I would have loved to have worked with him and his son. They seem like level headed go get it done men. I've worked up there and only guys that use their heads, work hard and long and turn a problem around will last up there. I was in the Piledrivers Union 2520 out of Anchorage. You had to be half crazy to be a Pile Buck.
Your mom would have loved your dad if you were never born
Never seen a D11 stripped down to the main frame,before, only seen 1 D11 at the mining show in Vegas, many years ago, great video
Congrats tony she’s a beauty nothing like new iron
allied1394 ~ Nothing like new iron! These big beauties are made of hi-strength steel.
