Caterpillar D6C Bulldozer Cold Start Pushing Dirt

A Caterpillar D6C cold start, pushing dirt and putting out a fire. This is a logging dozer with straight tilt blade, winch and arch. This would also be a good wildfire fighting dozer. I burned a huge pile of sawmill off cuts from my Woodmizer LT15 sawmill. I burned them to kill the bugs in them that are killing the trees. I push some dirt with the dozer to expand a flat spot I am building. In the process I use the bulldozer to put out the fire after it burns down to coals. Not for any real good reason other than, just because. Mostly giving the machine a little exercise after it’s been sitting for the last few months.

Two things. Think it was left track. Might need to tighten up a little bit. Never trust them flappers over exhaust pipe. I like plastic coffee can. That thing looks and sounds super healthy. Awesome.

Tracks tend to sag a little in a hard push and can make them look a little loose. During the rainy season I put a cover on the pipe.

Michael, That dozer is a cream puff! Straight as a pin! One of your many qualities is how you treat all of your equipment. It will last forever. Thanks for your vids.

I was wondering how long it would be until you had some videos of her. I watched your other video last night. We still need another visit. Life has just been a little crazy lately.

What a nice machine you got there! Sounds just like my 977H that I use for my occasional logging projects! Absolutely love this generation of machine, simple yet very durable! Thanks for posting, hope to see more of her!

Thank you Michael, dozers do seem to be fun and useful....

Yes they are as well as expensive to operate, especially when they break.

The sound of that old 3306 engine sure brings back fond memories. That motor was in D-5’s through D-7’s and in marine applications up to 250 HP with dual turbos. I know two guys who stuffed them into Ford F-250 pickups. Of course they were both Cat mechanics. Go figure…

Nice. This is how a mechanical diesel kitty should sound. Not like the fur balls inside my house or at the office 🤣👍

Like this video never ran cat 6 always d8's-9's but this dozer has it all ,do you have the root rake with it?good operator slow and steady

@WilsonForestLands 4 ай бұрын

I have heard it said a 6 is good at everything but not great at anything. Too small to be great at big cat work and too big to be great at small cat work. I don’t have a root rake.

You should be careful when using a winch on this bulldozer. Unlike hydraulic winches or some PTO winches dedicated to tractors, those from bulldozers do not have a clutch or any overload limiter, so the drive unit is exposed to damage in the event of overload, which can usually be found out after a failure.

Didn't I once hear you say that your tractor is or was you granpa's? Is the dozer his too?

@WilsonForestLands 4 ай бұрын

My grandpa originally bought the small tractor. Then my dad took it over for years, then I took it over. I bought the dozer myself a few years ago.

Looks like a serious erosion hazard? Is there something I dont see or understand on this side of the camera?

@WilsonForestLands 4 ай бұрын

What you don’t see is this whole area is going to be different after things dry out and I really get to work on it. The key to stop erosion will be to slope and ditch to drain the water away from the fill. This spot doesn’t get much runoff to begin with. This spot has endured two winters mostly the way it is without any considerable erosion.

What is it you are actually doing? Are you preparing a flat area for a purpose?

@WilsonForestLands 4 ай бұрын

A flat spot is one thing that is missing on this property. I need a place to turn things around, park things, and maybe put my sawmill. I explained it a little in one of my videos about a week ago about killing bugs.

I think you could probably get away with that. Although her computer is broken right now so I think you can get away with it just about anything now. At least temporarily. 😁
