Man I said the same thing, then run across your comment. Haha

😂 it put up a good fight though didn't it

😂😂😂

The guys in an earth moving tank, and he's got a pair on him. Nevertheless it is impressive to watch

Yeah right. Lol. I own a dozer climbing steep hills are not as easy as it seems. Track grousers that have taller track cleats help alot. But only can do so much on soft dirt. I'm no expert but terrain can make all the difference. Also I love how some are saying it needs new tracks that is determined by wear. That can only be checked physically in person. That track isn't heavy worn otherwise track droop would be showing. But that doesn't mean the track or grousers are worn out might need adjustment. Opinions should be kept to yourself unless it is actually productive. I'm not looking for a argument just stating a fact.

Cuz they don't have time, there all getting work done.

There was no such thing as selfies or video blogs and film and cameras melted back then open cabs ,with expanded metal mesh not real fire or heat proof ...

@@williepelzer384 Yeah and deploying to multiple fires. Sometimes those dozer are out making fire breaks and whatnot for weeks.

Actually if he'd backed up the hill, he wouldn't have to deal with his ripper anchoring in the ground...or he could've gone up at an angle.

Dozer logging is even more fun.

good job with the self aggrandizement

Agreed - I didn't think he was going to make it up there, but he persisted and got the result. Mind you, with time and fuel a bulldozer can go just about anywhere! Which really is the point of a bulldozer I guess.

@@crippledproductions2194 lol - a bulldozer is a tool. It goes where the work is. If that requires climbing a steep slope to get to the work site (or cutting its own path to get there) then that's what the operator does. I say that as someone who runs an earthmoving business and operates heavy equipment daily.

@@crippledproductions2194 I don’t know what industry you’re involved in but in the oil and gas industry in northern canada, or really any industry up here a dozer is used for many many things. Walking days and days across valleys and mountain tops with a gps and a sat phone for the operator to go build a pad and tow a fuel skid or a mineral exploration drill somewhere. Working shoring up strippings or building road on slopes too steep to stand on. Using them to tow logs as a skidder in poorly accessible logging slashes. Walking over extreme terrain to make fire breaks as seen above. They are made for extreme grades and going extreme place’s, many machines have duel pick up tubes in the oil pan so no matter the angle you don’t loose engine oil pressure. With the right undercarriage, ice lugs (corks as I call them) you can climb fuckin walls with some machines.

@@DarienSeminoff well said👍 From a farming background, those pads need replacing, or new grousers welded on. Too much slippage.

@@DarienSeminoff same with a trackhoe. I pipeline for a living.

He apparently didn't know that , 😆😆. Look like a Rookie.

Trevor that's a 60% slope at least they travel with a heavy equipment mechanic as well as bein a driver of the dozer the drivers also are certified heavy equipment mechanic it has rippers on the back to pull the debris an slop over out of the dozer line cut most of cal fire dozers have winches on them but a few don't they also go through a refresher course in Sacramento every year that is required for u to stay employed there the skills of these drivers is awesome as a retired firefighter who work with them the training and experience is off the charts each one of these heavy equipment drivers are also certified to run a dozer strike team of up to 6 dozers at a time need to do ur part and research what u say before u say it

@@chrisboek2346 God damn learn what a period is & when to use it!

@@chrisboek2346ok but that has nothing to do with a wear-item on the dozer needing to be replaced.

@@pushnpow they do replace them as needed when there shift is over on the line there taken care of daily by the h.e.m an by the operators who drive them

Replacing the worn out track pads/ grousers is not a task the operator could do at the end of a shift . Operating dozens in those conditions requires well maintained machinery , a competent operator can find himself and his team mates in dire trouble if their gear is below par.

That guy could hardly move the thing.

@@ericstout4122 you try doing it, that dozer is close to 20 tons you try moving it up to 45° incline on loose dirt and see if you can get it to go.

@@20truck I do it everyday buddy I’m a finishing dozer operator cutting slopes and building roads lmao up to a d11

way more than 40 k more like 70 k

@@mattstarr8203 You're right it could be 70,000 them damn things are heavy aren't they.

Thank You !! You are Crushing it.. 🫣

This has to be the funniest comment ;)

It sure is!

No tanta experiencia

Yeah righto noah

I have driven both and will take the old oval track any day. 🙏🙏👍💪

I agree could have went over 20 ft to the left and would have made it in the first time You're right

Agreed, that must make it very hard. And then you get the opposite like we have here in Australia at the moment where it's so wet that if you break through the crust it's like pudding underneath and you just sink like a stone. Literally happened to me yesterday and was a royal pain to recover the machine.

The worst is 100' of bedrock slab hidden 8" under topsoil. You're chugging along one moment & sliding down the mountain at 15 mph the next with nothing to aid control but the blade & or a drag of logs. Falling timber in bad ground never scared me, but dozers & bedrock sure does.

@@elonmust7470 amen to that brother. The expectation is that rock, being solid is a good thing - right up to the moment that you first hit it!

@@langdons2848 I’ve only come across a couple spots like that. I was pushing out a fence row in 2020 and walked our dozer through a spot just fine that wasn’t wet at all on top and as soon as I started moving in reverse it sank to the top of the grousers. My dad didn’t believe me because he’d been around this place almost his whole life. After 2 hours of laying down trees to make a mat for our excavator to sit on while we pulled the dozer out he believed me that it wasn’t my fault. Lol

@@elonmust7470 shale is sketchy as well. We used to have a pc300 Komatsu and I was sitting on a ledge on the side of a hill digging shale one day and all the sudden a shower came down. I slid off the side of this cut we had going up the hill and just about ruined my drawers.
