    When you put jumper cables over one battery in a two battery 24v system, you get 12v even though they are connected in series. The disadvantage is that the machine’s charging system will put exactly the same charge back into both batteries even if one battery is more discharged than the other. You can run a 12v component off one battery in a 24v machine, but eventually that one battery will be dead flat while the other battery will still be full. The way around that is to use a 24/12 converter (essentially a transformer) and run your 12v components off that.

    The sound of the D6 is why most equipment operators are hard of hearing, no matter how tough you are you will lose hearing, a little bit at a time, there's no escaping that. People think they're being clever with the exhaust pipes and mufflers, they are only permanently hurting the operator, hearing loss never get better over time, once you lose some you're never getting it back.

      Seriously ... yes. Run a WWII era D7 cable dozer for 8 hours. Straight pipe and loose floor plates. My head rang for 16 hours after that. Bad exhaust pipes on their old 9U series D6 pony didn't do me any favors either.
      I loved being on switch engines that were working hard. Like riding thunder, and the fireworks show at night, while assisting a re-routed coal train up Independence Hill, was a treat. Bonus was seeing cars pulling over on the highway running parallel to the tracks, so they could watch. Paying for all that now, though I can't say I regret any of it. At least not yet.

The Dozer came back to life with a sensor, cheap ( Question Mark). This is not intended to be a kicking, but perhaps Chris could use this issue as an opportunity to try ans explain why things are so expensive in running plant. So does he build in a % factor for breakdown and wear and tear. Explain to the unknowing what costs!!! You may then help people understand why it costs $? to hire a machine and operator.

      So many people focused on the sound and not a reasonable comment on the fact this is too big for many of Chris’ jobs. What if he gets a Komatsu like Dirt Boss. People like the sound of that machine and it’s smaller so more functional,,,,, it’s only Chris’ money,,,,, hahaha.

    From a practical standpoint I can see how the high sprocket has many advantages, but as a old operator of the 1960s I think the older models had more class.

    Dig'n that D6R CAT with you driving.. Need to be playing Willie Nelson "On the Road Again", or whatever, in some ear muff''s while working that bad-boy. It seems to need slightly longer teeth on the bottom of the blade though so that more dirt will filter out while the brush is being pushed toward the pile. Just a thought. You always have such great videos.
