    I watch a number of channels, and I have to say that your fine grading using the dozer is among the cleanest and most professional looking. I love watching that professionalism and pride in what you do. Keep on making things nice-nice.

    Cardinal RULE is "never get attached". Only problem I see is the RED show truck doing all the work (now that's sad)! From my seat that was a lot of work in a short amount of time. That dozer can really push some material (an nice shots of it doing so). I told you before, that thing could relocate Catskill Mountains! And Last two (plus other videos) you SURE got you money's worth on that multi directional tilt & swivel ability of the blade on the dozer. Just the effort it saves in a years work, my word. So you transformed the landscape in just this one day? Really nice job, thanks for sharing another, God bless & stay safe. Regards! Sonny (CT)

    New sub here. You mentioned when you moved the trusses that you got your “LAW” license. I am sure I misheard you, but what does that have to do with moving trusses and working on elevator shafts? Obviously I am not in the business, but I love watching sites like yours with earthmovers etc. Please clarify the law or low license thing. Thanks!

    Question.
    Kindly reply if you can/if it is permissible.
    I'm very new to the dozer world.
    How long is the "general half life of a set of track bushes?
    Can pins be used repetitively. Meaning with successive new bushes?
    I'm 10,000 miles off. In SA. The local market is limited. Where would you shop, e.g. in the US for a 51 if you were in my position? Internet adverts mention rough pricing.
    What is your advice regarding how long a replacement set of bushes and sprockets/probably idlers as well, will last in work moving forward only in 95% of work/draw bar work?
    Thank you.

      It all depends on the soil conditions sand will wear them out twice as fast because the particles are finer.. usually around 3-4k Will get out of an undercarriage is also depends on how you take care of it and clean it.. here is a link check these guys out tell them I sent you
