With the right equipment and operators, it doesn't take long to make an area tidy and workable for the next round of crops. Thanks to you Matt, Your dad Peter and the rest of the crew for the entertaining and interesting videos. Really enjoy following you guys
Beautiful vlog, beautiful images and a lot of work. Good that it can be done with oil pressure and the blood pressure can remain normal. Greetings from the Netherlands.
At least with the dam gone less likely for vermin to be attracted to the area while crops are at their sweet spot. Love the vlogs keep them coming gents
Hi Matt great video as always, I love the way those d11s push mountains without barely breaking a sweat! Obviously I wouldn't wish heavy rain events on anyone but it would be really interesting to see how the contour banks handle one. If you were able to film it of course, in a major flood I'd imagine you've got plenty else on your plate
You blokes do such adventurous farming stuff! Love the way you look long term for improvements in your blocks. But then again, you do get things bogged now and again (one of your best blogs that one!).Many thanks.
city folk come out to the ranch and wonder why I have an excavator, a D6, a motorgrader, , dump truck, a rock picker and a landoll to raise Bison, well here ya go. thanks for sharing the fun
Can really see the ground shaping up nicely, I’ll have to see a vid of those banks filled with water to really visualise it. Really loving these videos, cheers from Ireland 🇮🇪
I believe you mentioned that the Tiny machines have 800 HP each. I think it is amazing to watch "only" 800 ponies working so effortlessly. They push and push and push until ... they stop and don't push. No fighting and biting - they just do the job. That's the mark of a big machine - no annoying noises and excessive sounds like so many others that think noise is a must for horsepower and work. Wrong. The Tiny Machines get it done. Thanks for the great sound track on this one, Matt.
Great exhaust sound with the camera between the stacks, run through a stereo system with a big sub woofer, just turn the volume up and 'drive' the D11. ( and a BIG screen TV to complete the picture).
A few gollies for poor Joh to pick up yet I reckon , looks like he would be breaking the sound barrier at the pace he is going, long day when your going slow , when is your turn on the picker Matt ? Looks like the best job on the farm 🥴
I can tell by the antenna on the front bumper that you’re Aussies! My younger sister lives down there in Albany south of Perth on the west coast, me n my older sister went and visited in 2017, and had quite a good time with family! I’m a heavy equipment operator by trade, so I enjoy your videos, mate! Cheers from Northern California! 👊💪🤟🤙👍👍
Really great video Matt 👍👍 ... Going to be interesting to see how you crop the contours ... imagine it best to run parralel and take the contour formation as it comes but that will make harvesting "interesting" ... when editing do you reckon you could leave in a few end turns eg spraying seeding harvesting etc ... I used to find them challenging so I find them interesting 🙂🙂
What a fantastic low growl those D11 s make just purring along. Great video Matt again very interesting. If you have any temporary vacancies let me know would love to spent 2/3 months working for you. Tom Macpherson Aberdeenshire uk
Very impressive any plans to putting GPS on the on the 872 I'm an old school guy but learn the GPS and I think the world of it now really makes life easy with the GPS when it's working how warm is it there now here in Virginia is still in the twenties and thirties some good days maybe 50 thank you 🚜👍
That GPS omg is so handy and easy with the 3D Earthworks TD520 the things available to operator on site wow but now I need a tilt bucket :( lol 😂 I do have a year old Cat 336 tho and in TN, have a wonderful day!!
Recently discovered your channel - interesting stuff! I can really appreciate the work and Engineering that goes into farming and the machines being used. Do you have a Telemaster in your fleet at all?
Who and how was the engineering developed for all your contouring work? Does each operator work to specific co-ordinates for his/her operation? What is the gross number of hectares involved in this ‘Rehabilitation of this operation? Thanks very much for taken such a long question(s). As an old “homesteader “ in Canada I find this incredible compared to the way we started with nothing ( no GPS or other outside assistance other than Township markers and “correction lines” where previous (1800s) surveys” correct any misplaced section lines ( a section is one mile square 640 acres).
Hi mate, we did get a lidar of the property before we started works but both dozers work on different banks so they are independen, not sure how many hectares as there’s still plenty to go!
Matt, a correction to your comment about pumps sucking, as a fire fighter, I can tell you pumps do not suck but in actual fact it is atmospheric pressure that does the work.
How is the price of diesel effecting you running all that kit ..... your yearly fuel cost must be eye watering ... here in the uk im sure red diesel was around the 17-20 pence a litre now its more like £1 .... and lastly what's the operating revs in the D11's sounds quite low 1600-1900 rpm .... pushing sounds and looks effertless .
Yep the price isn’t nice but the job still has to get done👍 I think ag fuel is $1.20 a litre and it’s usually $.60ish. We run them slightly off max rpm so it’s probably about 1800rpm which is where the maximum power is😁
It is very cold here in Australia in the winter, most places might get a frost in the morning unless you are on the coast where it might get down to the very cold single figures Celsius. When it is snowing in Western Australia you know it is cold. ( It can snow in WA in The Porongurups but not many people are aware of that). Jeff
Just one question as the pond is/was holding water, is it clay lined? If that is the case would it not fill up with water if you get heavy rain because of the clay lining would hold the water and cause you to have a wet spot that could bog down machinery ? All the best from the UK.
Yes I agree with you on that point,seems to me it would make sence to put a base of rocks in first seem that there are plenty lying about that help to stop the area becoming a wet spot
Additionally given you have droughts and then floods can you not use machines of this size to create the contours to slow down the flow of the water from the land and away from where it is needed being in the earth ?
I watch the series,but dont understand why there is all these huge toys,Tiny 1,2,3, for an instance,I am sure they dont have to move all that dirt each year must be a huge cost involved.
Hi Malcolm, most farmers do not own big earthmoving gear, we started because we needed other income during the drought and also to keep us all busy while there wasn’t crops growing, we have done plenty of contract work but the main reason was to redo our own contour banks as they fill up with silt etc over time and they hadn’t been done for over 10 years👍😁 hope that helps explain a bit
@@thejacksonbrothers I was also thinking of water for the bird life and other indigenous species that hop around the place live in trees etc Bees are also critical and their numbers are declining Perhaps you have room for some hives They can be actually a source of pleasure at the same time as helping as they do Australia has lost a huge percentage of its topsoil to deforestation and wind basically attributed to in part by traditional farming practices I was also able to see first hand the damage the floods caused around Conclurry and despite the volumes of water being absolutely huge somehow this water needs to be retained as much a possible and my other comment following I would respectfully ask you to consider asking if your time permits Hard to imagine farmers running D11's Good luck

It's always impressive the work you have to do in this impressive country-side. Keep up the impressive work !!!
Looks like you guys are really making progress on the development block. Going to be a great farm
Great work and a great video as always!
Learn something every day. Didn't know "dam" was Australian for pond.
It’s not. Nobody calls calls a fishpond a “fishdam”.
@@davidcat1455 I don't know about that. That sounds fishy.
hell of a nice spot for yabbie catching
Hi Matt great video I liked the time lapse from the bucket of the 460 you could just see it slowly dropping down.
All for effect that was! 😂😂
Big Cat purring!
D11 is just awesome.
Great video Matt
Damn that sounds so amazing! Great camera angle by the stacks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great exhaust sound with the camera between the stacks, run through a stereo system with a big sub woofer, just turn the volume up and 'drive' the D11. ( and a BIG screen TV to complete the picture).
Hey there Jackson bros, just today discovered your channel, been binge watching you videos, love em.
Like I always say . Luv Dozer work👍
Loved the bit at the end, you could do that every time with a different piece of equipment and I would be in love.
Awesome video mate. Love watching the dozers in action. Thanks for sharing.
You guys do awesome work! Plus the view it looks amazing, especially with the equipment in the pictures!
Nice toys. I want some
Love that D11 rumble, didn't know a rock picker was a thing! Did plenty of rock picking after seeding in WA.
Brads a natural on the camera
Those 11’s purr ❤️
A few gollies for poor Joh to pick up yet I reckon , looks like he would be breaking the sound barrier at the pace he is going, long day when your going slow , when is your turn on the picker Matt ? Looks like the best job on the farm 🥴

Oh the Cats sound soooooo good!!! 😛😛
Awesome vid as usual mate, thanks for all the effort you put into them for us.
Finnish stone picker💪🏻😬
Hay just found your chanel great to watch the machines at work good filming thanks
Love your D 11 👍🏻

One great place to leave the missus.
Make a separate video of the rock picker, they're hypnotic.
i used to wonder what a farm would do with 1 D11, let alone 2, but you guys seem to keep them busy !
Beavers made their way to Australia, damn
Awesome.
Great content.
Fooking toast! Amazing! New subscriber. Thank Dozer is BA!
I love the tripod you use to record the dozer
What is that tree doing in the middle of the paddock? Thanks Matt, just love the sound of that 35lt. Can't believe how clean she burns.
Hi Rodney, the odd tree isn’t to much of a worry and also it harder to clear trees here in Australia👍
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
With that drone you can call yourself the flying foreman ( FIELD BOSS )
Awesome
I guess a lake is out of the question

By the way Quicker than a D4 😆
Yep it can do! We are in northern nsw area😁

@@jefftheaussie2225
Thanks Jeff. Sounds similar to UK temperatures.
Yes it is similar but we don’t have the damp cold you have, our air is much drier which makes it easier to live with.
I know I probably missed it was wondering how large the farm is thanks!
Looks like beautiful farmland. Where abouts are you located in that massive continent?
Also take a look at my brother's vlogs "Jilles Boer" A completely different way of arable farming.
Just one question as the pond is/was holding water, is it clay lined? If that is the case would it not fill up with water if you get heavy rain because of the clay lining would hold the water and cause you to have a wet spot that could bog down machinery ?

Hi Matt , great video as usual. All that contour work looks very expensive, do you stand that yourselves or is there some government assistance?
G'day Matt great video and very cool drone work mate
Thanks Murphy!
Additionally given you have droughts and then floods can you not use machines of this size to create the contours to slow down the flow of the water from the land and away from where it is needed being in the earth ?
That's a bit backwards.
In Europe farmers are putting in ponds like that, to help biodiversity.
What are the reason for filling in the pond?
Crikey! Did they just bury the trash too ?
those old girls sure can move some dirt
That's a bit bachwards.
In Europe farmers are putting in ponds like that, to help biodiversity.
What are the reason for filling in the pond?
What is it about dual rain caps opening up, and the sound of a 3508? It just means business!
When you are working out your drainage pattern do you have to get it approved by local or federal water management authorities?
That dozer only sounds like you are running about half throttle, are you doing that to prevent damage and save fuel?
Hi russel, that’s them at about 1800rpm, max is about 2000 I think, max power is at 1800👍
Why not sell the scrap Iron, here in DK the price is high, around 1/2 Aus dollar for 1 kg...
What does the operators manuals say about max angles of operation to avoid loss of engine oil pressure.
yeah good job boys! Any way you could show us a little on how you run the gps on your dozers and grader ?
Thanks liam! Check out 2 videos ago (Vlog 63) that explains the gps on the dozers, we don’t have gps on the grader👍
😂😂 Not something I noticed the1st time through. Had to watch it again, but sure enough....
Nice work, how many acres do you farm.
Now you see it now you don’t so much for the water hole why did you fill it in Matt? As always nice Video Cheers 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪😁😃😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
Thanks Jess! The property used to have cattle on it so there are quite a few dams about that we don’t need👍
@@thejacksonbrothers Thank you Matt Cheers
I've been watching for quite a while and it just occurred to me your diesel bill must be huge?

How many hours a year have you been putting on those 11's?
How many acres of land are you guys managing/ farming?
Wallaby chucker you.
Do you ever build crop through banks? Not real great for efficient cropping going around those buggers all the time
They are all crop though
Thats why they have the big dozers to make big drive though banks
Excuse my ignorance but water reserves have always been an issue for Australian farmers so why dispense with an existing dam please?
Hi Gordon, small dams like this are really only useful for stock which we do not have any
