Whenever I'm stripping, I slot doze and work the short pushes first. Always try to cut downhill. Fill the blade as fast as possible, carry the load as fast as possible, dump as fast as possible and return as fast as possible. High cycle time=high production. I think of it this way, as soon as your blade is full, 45 yards or whatever these hold, you can't push any more than that and all you're doing is rolling material out the side of your blade. Plus when you back over your material you are compacting it. When you start your cut at the back you create a hole that you have to push up and out of. When you start your cut at the front you create a hole that you are pushing down into. You then back up to the back side of that hole to start your next push always try to cut downhill. Cutting downhill allows you to use the weight of the machine to speed up cutting time. As soon as your blade is full go to second gear, the machine will carry a full load in second. I usually set my speed limit at 4mph forward and 5mph in reverse. When you stay in first while pushing the machine will continue cutting and rolling material out the side of the blade but you aren't actually carrying any more material. Working the dozers side by side would also increase production by about 25% but it is very difficult to do because one operator has to lead and one has to stay stuck by his side. They don't like doing this. Dozer operators are a cantankerous bunch and you can't get them to go along with anything I just said.
Depends on the intended finish point of the shot material. If youre doing a bench move then pushing up, to set up for final roll and throw over onto the next bench. Four d11's can technically move a bench just as quick as, if not quicker than a digger and four trucks with less fuel and wear on components. If you watch in the background you can see the stack ramping up. I will agree that slotting is better practice by far but doing it flat out is detrimental to long life of your components, your chassis and your operators back.
Great video. I strip mine at two different quarries, I'm the only dozer operator for both quarries. Sometimes I don't even get to eat my lunch but I love what I do
@@nolanr1400 to reach the material your trying to mine such as coal, limestone, gold etc you have to strip the earth away. Such as dirt and mud anything unwanted. It's first shot with explosives, dug, and hauled away leaving clean material to be mined.
That seems reasonable relative to the production capability of a machine that size. When I had a quarry business (on a much smaller scale) it was Cats and Dogs for me. Caterpillar equipment and Mack trucks.
Played on a CD one time and idlein when you pick that blade up it leans forward and bogs down…you definitely notice a difference in it vs standard 45yrd…look up coal mining in Appalachia and you’ll see a job I first worked on in hazard Ky and feller cought 13 11s side by side staggered of course all pushin…I was in awe when I got there ready to steam.l
One of the first times I've ever seen a ripper utilized properly. I think on the two R series we had, which we foolishly purchased rippers on, it was about an $82,000 option and on the 10 Ns it was a $57,000 option. Unless we were working in fairly soft slate , and pushing on a downhill drag , they were worse than useless. They were always in the way . Always keeping you much further away from the wall than our non rippered machines. Day in and day out I cant think of any operator I would recommend purchasing a ripper for a 9 ,10 or 11 . That's just my opinion though.
So you leave the shank rocked hack like that? I'm no genius but curlin yer tooth in after you start plowin only makes sense....ever push a layoff plow? How is the spade angled 9n them when your cuttin a row....
He’s kinda right but that’s impossible with a carry blade that big. You can notice the difference on operators slipping with and without the carry blade. I’ve never operated anything larger than a 7 so what do I know anyway.
Poor thing has rough life in that place this kinda terain is so brutal on macheanery i would only use cat or any thing with high drive wheel hear the poor rear ideler acts like a rock crusher.
Now isn’t that far more cost effective than those severely limited draglines ? They are huge , must have electrical supply and all that involves . Dozers are mobile , can be easily shifted to different locations etc
You can see enough as it's all about feel of the blade and trying to push as much material as you can. I run dozer up to a D10, I like to put someone in the seat just to show them how little you can see. Great job to be in.
Wrong angle while ripping.. ripping corectly is a art in itself. Very hard job. Need to push the tilt cylinders out more.. will pro long the life of the Cap
@@kainenmattison3665 all dozers with a powershift transmission can be shifted on the fly but you shouldnt reverse thay way. At high revs like that it can be pretty damaging to the transmission at least thats what I was always taught.
I really hate driving those carry dozers. They are unbalanced and horrible. They are good at moving huge amounts of dirt but absolutely hopeless at anything else.
@@PAmining just to add, I am a big fan of your documentary series. Please don't stop doing them. There are so many more machines that you can do yet. Thank you

You deserve a lunch if you work more than 8 hours a day - it's law. Body needs energy from food and water. Even if you love what you do.
What is stripping for in a mine ? 🤔

Holy shit 4 D11’s. I bet the diesel company loves your mine
Seen 30 or 40 on a job
Nothing holy about shit
Thank's Very Enjoyable to watch.....I used 0perate Cat Dozers back years ago.

Wouldn't last a day in shot rock

It's more central Pennsylvania. And I've never shot a video on an Amerikohl job haha.

Got any video of a dozer reclaiming strip mined land?
Guy told me the other day that a good operator doesn't spin the tracks. I said your not pushing enough if the tracks aren't slipping.
I would agree with that. Its easy to say until your in the seat in shot rock
Agreed. Always love hearing how yo operate from people who’ve only run a skid steer dumping stone between sidewalk forms.
Your not pushing enough if material isn't over the top of the blade.

How does the T models hold up to the older R's when it comes to production?
Very goodly, thank you for asking.
Oh the days of the carry...
I'd get beside somebody and have a 2 for 1 shot! Rolls rides right there and blamed good shooting! Thanks, Pal! A-PLUS!!!
Fuel consumption is one thing, the cost to rebuild the undercarriage of those magnificent machines, wow.
Roughly $120,000 Tom
🤮 hard work doing that
It's a beautiful thing.
Alot of wear tear maintenance costs just to move garbage over burden off coal...
Nice work Thanks
its ever that or don't do it and no money is made think about it.
Third cheapest method of moving material.

nice working shots, love those big Cats., think there's only one D11 variant here in the U.K.
There is a D11T working at Croxden Quarry, replaced the older 'Matilda'. Think she was an R

Wow. The 11r is just a down right animal. Don't know the T model. With all the emissions. Could ever keep up.
The D11Ts are very powerful machines as well. The C32 mill is strong.
The T has way more power, super quite cab compared to the R. The T is an animal compared to the R.
How the hell do they see what they’re pushing? Camera or just pure experience or a spotter on radio? Anyway cool vid, horsepower for days

When it start spinning out you just let up a bit. It's all feel.
These are not grade dozers....
You can grade with any dozer just on a bigger scale the blade is straight at the bottom
Our customers would never accept a finish grade from a D8.
Woowww where is this monster?
Takes a special breed to sit in those for 12 hours.
Removing over burden, a new way to say strip mining, years ago people protested against strip mining. But this is the same thing.
Awesome D11 footage can you do a Manitowoc 6400 documentary in the near future
I think he already did one. Look in the archives.
Absolutely! It's planned for the future
