Channeling Dirt Perfect and Letsdig18 and trying my best to be a bulldozer operator and big dump truck driver, we work with Dozerwerks to build a large building pad. Using a John Deere 750 bulldozer we strip topsoil for a 60' X 120' pole barn building pad. Then we start hauling in clay fill dirt with tri-axle Kenworth and quad axle Volvo Dump Trucks. The trucks are loaded with a John Deere 210g excavator while digging a borrow hole to get good fill dirt. We compact the dirt with a sheeps foot roller and then haul limestone onto the pad to finish it up.

Neil, of course we want to see more of this project. I thought you did just fine running that dozer. I agree about the button vs the intuitive twisting. Wonder why that was changed.

@@digdrivediy That't partly why I really like your channel. Variety. It's like your my buddy next door. I get to see what you are up to, but virtually each vid. Minus the frosty cold beverages we would have in hand, though. Well, I must admit, I do sometimes have that frosty cold beverage in hand while watching. Its a simple formula, really. Most guys like to dig (especially with those really big boy toys), they like to drive (can't beat old American V8 muscle) and what guy doesn't love doing it yourself for the satisfaction....and it saves a few bucks here and there too!

Hi Caleb!!! Oh yeah… We gotta see more! Seat Time Matters… that ought to be on every equipment operators Tee-shirt. I enjoy watching pros operating equipment. They make it seem so effortless. It lulls you into thinking, “I can do that!” But, once your butt hits the seat it takes only a few moments for reality to take over. Running similar equipment helps to sharpen the learning curve. Butt, until you’ve warmed that seat to the point it wears your cheek prints when you get off, it is still going up! I owned a baby Kubota backhoe for 15 years. I used it enough that I was comfortable with the controls. I knew where it’s capabilities and limitations were. I was able to accomplish things with it that I couldn’t have done when I first got it. Then I decided to trade it in for the newer version… same machine, same engine, same hydraulics, same loader & backhoe… except, the loader and backhoe come with quick attachments. That was three years ago. The loader isn’t such a big deal and I like having Skid Steer Quick Attach… however, the extra weight, increased length and slop does reduce my weight capacity and change response at the controls. But, the backhoe is really hard to get used to. The quick attachment has slop in it. Where the previous one was held in place with pins that I had to grease and tap in place; this new one has clamps that engage on studs in the frame. I put out a video this week where I was installing a propane line. In it there are a couple of scenes where you can see the whole backhoe bounce up and down as it encounters roots and rocks. It looks like I am jerking the controls. However, it is the slop in the attachment that allows it to bounce. I was embarrassed at how amateurish the video looked… but, I left the clips in anyway. Perhaps as I endeavor to get permanent butt cheeks embedded into the seat, those herky/jerky motions will go away. But, like you said, getting on a different piece of equipment requires more than just a translation of skills… it requires experience! Perhaps… I should have made a deal where they traded out this nice new ergonomically designed seat with my old worn out cheeky seat? Because, I really felt comfortable running the previous hoe when my butt was planted in it. Do you think? Neil, you did a masterful job of condensing this project into a story… once again! Thanks

You've got some great ideas here in the concept of a portable seat that transfers all your knowledge from one machine into the form of a new machine. That would be an incredible invention! Don't ya just hate it when you think you've got something all figured out and then you sit down on a new machine to show the world what you can do only to look like a total rookie when you watch it back? Don't feel bad though Dave, happens to me all the time! I need to check out your video then so I don't feel as bad though cause I leave plenty of it in that gets a little embarrassing. Oh well, we can all relate on some level. Thanks for checking this one out. Wasn't sure how it would go over but it sure was fun for those two days while we were doing it regardless. I'll keep the camera rolling even if I have to be inside in my office while they put the building up. Have a Merry Christmas!

"Hi" Caleb, Greg and the rest of the Dozerwerks crew!! And of course we would like to see more of this project as it progresses (hopefully less mice are involved, LOL!!). Looks like both of you did really well on the dozer, from the videos I've watched with newer operators (to dozers), they normally show just how hard it is to really run a dozer well, it looks simple from the outside but you really have to actively control the blade, if you are reacting at all, you will be too late and create a bumpy mess (or at-least that is what I have seen. Never run one myself). Seems like it would be really handy to have a digital readout that showed the blade position relative to the plane of the tracks, 1"higher, 2" lower, 0" on the left and 2" lower on the right..... (that sort of thing). Sure that would be something that real operators wouldn't need and would laugh at but it makes sense to me.... Great video Neil, have a good one!!

@digdrivediy 2 жыл бұрын

Great question. The additional axles help to distribute the weight of the load onto the road. You are legal to haul a certain amount of weight based on axles and if the truck is fully loaded then it needs all 5 axles on the ground to be legal. You can pick the axles up to turn sharp corners or to drive off road as you saw me do. Merry Christmas to you and yours and thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel. Always enjoy your comments.

I'd be all for some of that Jim! Now, just to convince them to do that promoting! 😋 We are lucky with our topsoil here, but it comes at the expense of a flat landscape with very little to look at on the horizon. I didn't consider a closer look at the sheepsfoot. That's a good thought to ponder. I take it for granted I suppose but I haven't seen too many of them on YT now that you mention it. Thanks for the thought. Have a great Christmas and I appreciate all your continued support of the channel.

That rascal didn't mention this yet? I don't think he was around the day we did this actually. You're right, a new machine sure can spoil a guy. I'm not used to having the door closed and listening to the radio in the cab on a Bulldozer! No worries though, I can't get a second mortgage for a dozer just yet :) Thanks for watching Mike!

Hello to Caleb. Would enjoy to see how this turns out, but honestly, ill watch anything you post. You sure are right about a good operator. They make it look so easy don't they? Way its going, might be able to seed after that building is done lol. Mid 50's for Christmas. Speaking of, Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a great New Year!

Good video and look forward to seeing the build progress! I would love to build a pole barn if I had the room to do it. Maybe I should move to the midwest

That looked like a couple of fun days. It's cool to get to operate machines you normally don't get to play with. Hopefully you can show more of the building process. Thanks for sharing Neil. Be safe.

I suppose you could say we both like keeping things tidy for sure. Works out well that way! He will put "bad dirt" back in the pit. The kind of stuff that isn't good topsoil or compacting clay. There are big piles next to the hole he dug that will get pushed back in. Have a Merry Christmas Ron and thanks for always supporting the channel!

dude you say dozer is hard to run try running a ponsse forestry harvester that has like way harder controls and stuff you need to understand so thats a easy one
@digdrivediy
@digdrivediy 2 жыл бұрын
Well to be fair I saying a dozer is difficult to learn is not to say that there aren't other machines that could be harder. I've never ran a ponssee forestry harvester but I can imagine it would be tough. There are likely things that are harder to operate than the forestry harvester too, like a fighter jet or a submarine. I appreciate the point of view for sure though and thanks so much for watching!
