I operate a D9T,Dymax blade ,7” grawsers,they have vids of me making 100’ climbs at 61 deg.slopes,when I retire in July,I will have accumulated nearly 50,000 hrs operating D6’s,7’s,8’s,9’s,10’s,and a D11R,building roads in some of the steepest ground,rockslides,landslides,quarries,reclamation projects,going to miss the seat time👍

WOW!!!!! I worked for CAT for 33 yrs. Best days of my life. I was in the Decatur, IL plant.

Watching this video has reminded me of something my dad once told me after coming back from a tour of the USA,where he had visited the caterpillar factory and was in their demonstration area where he had said that they had shown the majority of their equipment working and then out came the D11R and dropped the blade and started pushing,the blade went down about 4 feet into the ground and,his words “the bloody thing didn’t even change note”. He is dead now, but I can still hear him telling me about it.😢😢

Nice to just hear the machine and nothing else. Big dozers always seem so effortless. Amazing.

That was me, in 1975 with my D9E. I loved cutting and cleaning roads in the hills and mountains of USA west. I felt every ripple, Phil and loved every moment, movement and sound. Brilliant!

Beautiful BEAST that D11 is!!!!!!!!

Thank you for that beautiful 3508 music to my ears! Could listen to that all day long. Excellent work fellas 👍👍

That machine sounds awesome at an idle... sounds like a freight locomotive!

That D11 sounds glorious!

The D11 did not even sound like it was working. Just idled up the hill. Well done Phil. Thanks for the video

I did a spell at Hastings Deering in Brisbane working on Cats. First time I ever drove a dozer was a D11N, out of the workshop to the yard parking. Fun figuring it all out, especially the throttle pedal which was reversed to the normal. Up for fast, down for slow. Rocker switch direction, push button gears, mini switch steering. We got them in new and spec'd them up for the mines. 88 Tonnes of the ship, no cab or blade on. The ones I worked on were fitted with a single ripper.

Fun, fun, fun! What a view. For a minute from the fly by at the top, I thought Phil had gone up there to make a phone call but I realised he was taking a photo.

I remember watching a D11 dozer pull the tub out of a dragline once. The dozer never even raised a sweat! Pure power!

Worked with D11's as protection a few times in bush fires cutting containment lines, those things are the GOAT

What a wonderful sound out of that thing.

I noticed when he starts up that hill he barely has any throttle on that machine at all wow that's a lot of torque the elevens an amazing machine gotta love them

The biggest dozer I've operated was a D8, these things are massive I love it.

Love watching this I had 30 years operating dozers on coal stockpiles mainly D11T’s, D11R’s and D11N’s. Retired now and will miss it

Perfect what a lovely sound and just a little music,really enjoyed the video.

Absolutely beautiful Beast!!

Awesome guys thanks for sharing your time with us all. Gerald. Feilding. New Zealand.

I ran a D11N for years down here in our Coal Mine. If you've hardly ran a Dozer, The D11 (and D10's) can be quite intimidating but after a little while you get used to the size. Around here in our Area, the D7 was about as Big of a Tractor as Construction and Land Clearing guys used. After you've ran a D11 and got used to them, when you are told to get on a D7 , you ask "What the Heck am I supposed to do with THIS Little Thing?!?!". Man I miss running those D11's,LOL!

One of the best farming channels on you tube,great work Matt and boys

Great job I do love your content and your family a true inspiration

For someone who doesn’t operate a big dozer every day you do a very good job PHIL. Always love watching you work mate.

Love the D11!!👍🏼Awesome Operator👍🏼…Aloha🤙🏽

Wow Phil's the man awesome guys always enjoy your vids , keep them coming

Love the sound of that Cat motor working. Great Job.

That hilltop would be a nice place for a house. It would have an amazing view.

Great vídeo Matt.

Ah!!! 3508 sound, nothing better

The other road you mates cut in was when I found your channel and have been enjoying since.

Bravo mate! King of the hill! Love the music of that 3508!!

The D11 plows right up through there like nobody's business.

I’m in eastern Ky matt and used to steam clean on over 50 surface coal mines round here and commandeered a 11r for a few mins and tried climbin a 1000’ dump from the bottom…within seconds buddie was hollerin on cb your gonna flip it! And I replied…you see that ripper back there?.lol she was too loose obviously for 110t but stood way up there….ran 11r so new had paint on blade and plastic still in seat in heavy shot rock and for those who think it’s settin in a cab all comfy they need to experience that once…would tan 995 liebherr shovel if I’d found disconnect that day..lol..fire suppression went off and we had to spray it off and I was dyin to take a 30t bite…thanks fellers..my names matt and grew up ridin mx and still love my old 90s bikes as I know y’all do…

One nice thing about a big cat, where ever it goes there's a ready made road.

Great Job!! Love hearing a D11 working at the hands of a skilled operator 👍

Hi Phil, you would have been keeping an eye on the temps gauges on the way up and, on the way down, would have been an ilde most the way!! Matt, the sorghum crop looks like it is going to be ok. Just need a drop of rain just to finish it off nicely!!

Thanks for sharing I watched the guys in a coal mine take a d11 he pushed dirt over the high wall until it got enough of a slope he took the dozer and a blade full of dirt and drove it over and down into the pit looked like it was going straight down lol

2 vlogs, pure D11, nice.thanks from the UK 👍

That man is well skilled indeed. Brilliant job, mate!

Great job running tiny 1 Phil

D11 Mountain Man. Nice post card picture.🤗😏🍺

That 3508 engine sounds great under load!

Thank you for sharing 🤗🇺🇲🙏💪

Thanks for sharing ,it so nice view and the Bulldozer is so big

nice little hill!

That’s a pretty neat spot for a few beverages. Awesome work gents, love the content as always.

Good skills shown they're easy to get in to trouble on slopes like that!

Great job . They have a good operator. He did a awesome job 👏.

It is incredible how big and heavy those big girls are, and yet they can climb terrain like it's nothing. You boys are really re writing the book on how it's done, I know plenty of farmers that have spent more money on smaller dozers (newer and "fancier" sure, but not nearly as efficient)

What a great piece of land, your own little mountain I dream of a place like that

What a beautiful sound 👍

Now that is what i call A POWER HOUSE

Fantastic!!! Now there was a D11 in its element, and that exhaust note!! Brilliant Thanks Phil and Matt!! What were the ruins at the top used for ... and ... what was the crop / plantation at the start of the crop. 🙂🙂

That big bagger burn clean as whistle Aye

Hmm 🤔 super machine idea's to way 🛣️and destination 🏠⛱️ opening 👍👍☺️ keep it up 👍

Great video as always. That def make the road a little wider lol

Smashing it guys!

Frumos moment! Respect pentru utilaj, Respect pentru cel ce l-a manevrat. 👏👏👏👍

That is an awesome machine!!

Not a bad little knoll to climb with wore out growser bars. Nice job.

Such a wonderful machine!

I'm not sure anything involving a D11 could be described as delicate but nice delicate work on that hairpin.

Hi Matt love to hear D 11 barking Phil s a good operator bloody good video love it cheers ❤️🍺🍺💪👍🦘🇦🇺😊

Ótimo vídeo cultura total parabéns guerreiro bazuka Foz do Iguaçu PR Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I enjoyed watching that mate ,she has the power down low wow

Good job Phil

Just love that V8, thanks guys.

This was a lot of fun to watch! Honestly half the machine would have worked in this case. This wasn’t work for this machine, more like making the bed or bringing in the newspaper before heading off to start the days work hahaha. I’ll be following now and watching more of this, happy the algorithm brought me here. Thanks for posting! Tony, ND, USA

Phil's all over it!👍 ( commentary by Phil would be cool)

I was ripping on a slope once, caught some solid rock and Before I could lift the shank I was sliding to a very steep part of the slope. Dropped my blade and probably saved my life and a nice D10L

Nice video. I do love those D11s

Another stunning view of God's wonderful creation. In my way of thinking that would be a great place to build a home - except the "scratch" up that road would be something every time a person wanted to go home. The view is spectacular. I'm so thankful to be one of the whosoever, thank the LORD.

That is one powerful machine.

Good effort, many people would not realize the skill needed to use such machines and leave a smooth cut, expecially when there is a mix of hard and soft ground and dust about, but in this case the operator took his time, barely getting the engine over a fast idle.🙄 Stay safe, ☆ Niels..

Not as steep, but my brother and i finished a generational project to flatten the lands using two D11. These are great beasts of burden, if you take care of them, they'll do you good. I've always wondered just how steep it could climb, and i guess i know now. We've never bothered with the little mountains, mostly on account of needing permits to modify that kind of a landscape, but ... this is encouraging.

3508 sounds 👌🏻😎

well done dozerman nice to watch 👍👍🚜🚜

A very monstrous machine I love dozers❤

Awesome video fellas. Nice dozer treatment too Phil.

Hands down your best video

It is, even for the second time, hilarious to see this giant climbing a hill and dozer a road...!

I'd love a home atop that hill, what a view

What à beast ! 👍

WOW Phil.. what a view as Tiny nosed over the top of the hill.. I know its only a pimple compared to the proper mountain ranges but any idea what the elevation climb was on this one and the previous steep one.. thanks indeed Matt, Phil, for posting.. always neat to listen to the Cat purring

I work for a cat dealer. I'm not so impressed with the destruction the big gear is causing, but I love videos like this . The most impressive thing about this video is the care Phil took to not destroy anything. He Just made the road.

Darn, was hoping you'd spin the drone for a 360 degree view. Love the dozer work. I've done that same thing. Fun stuff.

Looks like my dream land, wow what a piece of land ....

Good job Phil.

Perfect sound and visuals. Thank you.

Great video Matt

The man is a legend

Wow such nice sounding engine.

Good Shot on the Blade Y'all..!!

she's not working until the material starts pouring over the top of the blade, ran three for ten years, and enjoyed every minute.

Yer baby. Good job 👍

Awesome video!!!!😊 thanks for sharing 👍 you have big nuts taking that machine on the edge of the road 👍 👏 😀 your a "SMOOTH OPERATOR "😅😂😊

There is no road to the top. D11: hold my beer highway coming up 😂

Phil and The D11 rule.
