The D11’s have moved a lot of dirt on the farm but more than that they’ve led to the possibility for all three sons to launch farming careers. It is understandable that the machines hold a special reverence.
It is amazing how the prices of large equipment can be cheaper than smaller equipment. But here in the states the cost to move larger equipment gets very expensive and complicated. We have been looking at excavators for the farm and while a 200 size would do most of the jobs when you see 300 or 400 size for comparable money you really have to consider all the options
Buying machines with the same power and capacity of the task usually means working the machine at full power all the time. They wear out and break down very quickly. Buy a bigger machine and don’t work it so hard is better economically in the longer term.
Apparently when the Clyde, Benmore dams were being built here in new Zealand a few decades ago they were allowed to move fully dressed machines between sites on public roads ( but don't quote me on that lol)
G’day Matt, Brad & Peter,these machines like Tiny 2 are more than a mechanical tool, and they develop a personality for the operators over the period of ownership. I liked Peters comments about delivering more than expected. Some people are like that too. I’m glad this dozer is going to a good owner and the young bloke will get to learn from his dad how to enjoy its capabilities. Nice drone shots, thanks Matt. 🇦🇺
Amazing! Big machines! Big country! Big skies! I’m from the other side of the world here in England , and we’ve nothing like that! Just phenomenal to watch! Well done chaps! 👍👍👍👍
It is amazing you can transport that D11 Blade and all on Dirt Roads, here in the U.K. would have to remove the Blade & Ripper at least, and have paperwork almost equal to the weight of the D11
The amount of paperwork here is the same I would imagine that float ( lorry) would not leave the yard for less than 10,000 dollars and I think in the commentary cost $20,000 to get it delivered the first time
30000 dollars? Wow, what a bargain. Id have thought 10 times that. Guys, what an amazing channel and to give us facts and figures would be absolutely great. 👍
With all the work the big girl has done, and the extra work it enabled her sister to do, that has to be right up there as far as good investments go. What a bargain, I wonder if the original owners regret selling it for parts :P It's always emotional to say goodbye to a good machine, especially one that doesn't owe you anything, cos I'm sure she worked off her debt and then some
I drove an Hyundai 210C excavator and the boss always called it a tractor, so I guess the word tractor is open for interpretation. Andrew must be stoked to finally have one of his own after all these years.
mate . i think you guys are around my home town of moree NSW. surrounding area. love watching. im a Sydney lad now as theee is nothing there no work for an honest person. good luck guys.
A great thing about those Volvos, if they don't spin out the tyres and loose traction, they can probably pull 2 or 3 trailers loaded with those bulldozers. They're damn near as strong as a kw c509(the hub reduction axle off highway versions) but just less reliable in the long run.
Looks in good shape to me. Yes that's right those machines only have so many hours in them. If it goes down could cost 200K to fix. That one has pushed a lot of dirt
Greenville mine had two in the 80s the boser they had before was the 10 but before that was a 9g I think it was manufactured in 1949 or 50, which I operated for 2 years so it was a bit of shock when I started on the 11s❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I work on Carrington Cotton farms. They had 4 plus farms. I miss the life style. They had cotton and board acres. I cant remember how big it was. They had a lot of land. I work 65,000 acre one of 4 @@thejacksonbrothers
Question - When is Caterpillar going to FINALLY redesign their dozers to where the engine is in the rear of the chassis and the operator's cabin is in the front so that the operator can have a better view of what is being pushed? They, the design engineers, could even have the operator's control cabin be fitted on a hydraulic boom lift for even greater visibility like that revolutionary NEXAT agriculture harvester. Start thinking outside the box over there at Caterpillar..., please.
How do people fall in love with machines? I had a limo business and we were buying cars all the time. Our fleet was Rolls Royce Bentley Mercedes they were tools of the job. All our cars were from auctions, nothing over two years old, kept them for one year, when the warranty ran out. I never sold them to friends, they went back to the auctions. They were there to make money, my private car was a Peugeot 205 which I kept for 17 years, nothing fancy like my fleet.
Dragging a fridge is easy for an old fart, but I really miss float work... Every load was different, even if it was the same type of machine... Thanks for a taste...
Ok I understand that. Love the sound of it. It would be nice to hear the sound of the D11's if the exhaust bypassed the mufflers and straight out from the turbochargers
The short chat ( on camera ) with the new owner, gives us faith that this old work horse will be well taken care of and used properly.
Im british and This is what I love about Australia Out back truckers and big machinery. Fantastic

Goodbye, wish you the best in your new home!!
Sweet loading Brad, hard to believe how cheap youse got it for. Must have been less than scrap value, good wishes to tiny2 in her new home
Well done Matt, a great interview with Peter , you went to the right man for a few final words on the D11. Well done
Excellent update Matt. Good to see the new owner Andrew. Andrews son looked pretty impressed to be getting a D11.

18 months! How time flies 😮.
I wonder if Australia is the only country in the world where you can cart a D11 with a blade and rippers and cabin on one trailer
Apparently when the Clyde, Benmore dams were being built here in new Zealand a few decades ago they were allowed to move fully dressed machines between sites on public roads ( but don't quote me on that lol)
You sure have a good point there!
Alberta, Canada you can !
They do in Oregon and Washington

Great job driving the D11 on the trailer Brad
That’s some gorgeous country! Hope everyone is doing well. Blessings!!
In my humble opinion the best dozer ever built 👍💯
One of your best videos to date Matt,brilliant editing
I agree with that mate
Amazing! Big machines! Big country! Big skies! I’m from the other side of the world here in England , and we’ve nothing like that! Just phenomenal to watch! Well done chaps! 👍👍👍👍

I like the way you describe the amount of paper work involved in the UK to move a D11 on your roads, lol.

hats off for her good luck old girl
Heck it only seems like yesterday that you were making the change, but she is going into good hands . See ya Tiny 2
Excellent, lads - off to good pastures for Tiny 2, y'all did a great job of preparing it for a long, fulfilling life :) Cheers from Boston!
Confident Tiny 2 will be a great asset to its new owner Goodbye Tiny 2
You guys have come a long way. Love the drone work, the music, the whole Australian laid back delivery. Thanks guys. Outstanding work.
The fella that said, “it takes money to make money” was speaking from experience.
Sad to see an old friend leave; but time marches on. Thst tractor has years left.
30000 dollars? Wow, what a bargain. Id have thought 10 times that. Guys, what an amazing channel and to give us facts and figures would be absolutely great. 👍
I think that this was the dozer that was making metal (from a previous vlog). Turned out to be from the scavenge pump in the sump.
I wouldn’t buy one for 30k thinking it would be a good one, we were just fortunate😁👍
Ian collie ??
That's very interesting to learn that a legend was right there the whole time. Nice to see this video revisiting Tiny 2!
Heart warming.
Well done Matt.
Haven't missed an episode in year's
❤
Good dozer for scrap valve buy .
Great drone shots at the end 😊❤👍🇦🇺
Beautiful Country there Mate cheers Mick Northern NSW.
Great video Matt Brad Phil and Peter

Awesome drone footage
That's a nice fence there.🤠
That is one monster of a machine.
Some great drone footage
Good looking video, well done. Cheers
There is a corner in the paradise of the machines where all the D11 are also welcome 776.
WOW that engine sounds so healthy, your mechanics must be awesome. You guys are lucky for the hauling, in California that would be 5 or 6 loads
:" Don't scuff my trailer deck ,"😉🇦🇺😊

I worked at a mine site. Never driven a komatchu yet, but reckons Cats are awesome.
D11s does wonders. Absolutely an art just pushing in one.
Goodonya Boys 👍👍🇦🇺top stuff
Stunning scenery
andrew has teh passion to carry that big gal forward even knows what hes lookin at hihihio
mate . i think you guys are around my home town of moree NSW. surrounding area. love watching. im a Sydney lad now as theee is nothing there no work for an honest person. good luck guys.
Correct! Cheers mate
Great stuff I love it the D 11 are my favorite dozer cheers 🙏❤️💪👍🦘🇦🇺😁

Nicely Aussie....thankyou.....:)
She sounds beautiful still look good , plenty of life in the old girl yet.
Good videography
Great footage and story 4k would of been real nice , thanks
what a beauty of a machine..
Would love to have seen the truck and trailer getting ready for the dozer
Yes, what was the tractor up front? Couldn’t tell a thing except a cab over, RH steer.
Looks like a Volvo FH16 6x4. Probably with the most powerful engine they offer, 750 hp 6 cyl. @@northwexpress
Very nice country there good video to
You Australia boys are very much like us Florida US boys! Work hard and get the job done
Great video guys👍
tear up for such a beautiful bulldozer
Thommo will have a ball with that!
I still reckon you guys missed an opportunity to have all 3 pushing together….just saying
Didn’t work out unfortunately☹️
@@thejacksonbrothers still a great vid Matt. How’s the range on that new drone? Looked like you were chasing the grader for miles up the road!
Looks in good shape to me. Yes that's right those machines only have so many hours in them. If it goes down could cost 200K to fix. That one has pushed a lot of dirt
I really love seeing your dad in your posts!
Did Robbo find a rock or speck of dust on the floor of the grader?
she was a good machine
Good video.
Enjoyed the video...Excellent
Amazing what a road grader can pull out even better than a dozer.

Wow my first an a cool video loved the Music 🎶
Awesome! where in Australia? Climate/topography looks similar to northern Arizona or south central Oregon.
North-west NSW👍😁
best music on the web
Those look almost like Murray Pine trees in the background.
I thing your old man had a tear in his eye seen it go🥺
As an Aussies myself I miss the farm work. I work out the back of NSW. Great video well done. Where are you at ??????
We farm near Moree, cheers 👍😁
I work on Carrington Cotton farms. They had 4 plus farms. I miss the life style. They had cotton and board acres. I cant remember how big it was. They had a lot of land. I work 65,000 acre one of 4 @@thejacksonbrothers
I dont own any but for me its like a funeral when a new one arrives and a party when an old one leaves. Less is best.
Amazing guut 🙏👍❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just load n go n Australia.blade n tracks off in America, no other machine on the planet cooler then a d11
Hey Brad, how many hours has she done?
Matt here, I think that one has done about 56000 or so from memory👍😁
@@thejacksonbrothers she's pushed a few tonnes in that time!!!!!🤣👍
I bet they got it to clear all the land for fields then didn’t need it anymore

Bye bye. Tiny 😊.
strange trailers you got there. We use mainly brands like Goldhofer,SCHEUERLE for heavy hauls.
The end of one era but the beginning of another for the big girl.
Great video and music. What is the name of the song or album or artist you used?
I use epidemic sound for the music tracks and I can’t remember the artists but I use a lot of Will Harrison and Joyspring👍
Oh my. I thought moving tons meant you were moving the cast on The View.
Can't beat JD graders
Who has the steel plates and the concrete
That or a new rangerover. It’s a no brainer :D
that's so cheap $30 grand. what a score
Maybe time for a 613 scraper
Are you sending merchandise to the United States 🇺🇸
What's the name of that mountain range at the end of the video.
LOL man we use 3 trailers ha ha
Tiny 2 sounded a bit more noisier than Tiny 1 and 3 which sounds even better. Would that be because it doesn't have the longer exhaust pipes?
It always sounded a bit throatier, It had different mufflers I think👍
Ok I understand that. Love the sound of it. It would be nice to hear the sound of the D11's if the exhaust bypassed the mufflers and straight out from the turbochargers
i looked it up and D11 bulldozer to buy 1 the price is $2.2 million. so how much did you get paid for something this big.
50,000 hours on it.
What a relief, an absence of the ridiculous bright orange clown gear.
👍👍
$ 30,000 is nuts for a d11!
Hey guys, what's the name of the guitar music?
It's as good as the yellow monster...
Song is called tailgate party by Will Harrison, I use epidemic sound for my music👍😁
Price ?
