Man that D6 can certainly move the dirt with ease ! And she sounds sweet doing it ! When you see the clay sticking to the dumper bed and that lump of clay that stuck to the face of the small dozer all day I think it’s safe to say that clay will not let the water leak through . Got to say I really like these longer videos .
