Holy shit 4 D11’s. I bet the diesel company loves your mine
Thank's Very Enjoyable to watch.....I used 0perate Cat Dozers back years ago.
We have those around my house in the mines and it's awesome to watch you can feel the ground shake from them when you are close to them 😲
Great video. I strip mine at two different quarries, I'm the only dozer operator for both quarries. Sometimes I don't even get to eat my lunch but I love what I do

@@nolanr1400 to reach the material your trying to mine such as coal, limestone, gold etc you have to strip the earth away. Such as dirt and mud anything unwanted. It's first shot with explosives, dug, and hauled away leaving clean material to be mined.
Rough ground! Looks like you had one brand new machine in the mix.
Great family video! D11R, D11R cd, and D11t...
I appreciate deeply how quiet those tracks are.

That cat sure gets the job done, doesn't it?
Amazing, great video
That seems reasonable relative to the production capability of a machine that size. When I had a quarry business (on a much smaller scale) it was Cats and Dogs for me. Caterpillar equipment and Mack trucks.
It's a beautiful thing.

Whenever I'm stripping, I slot doze and work the short pushes first. Always try to cut downhill. Fill the blade as fast as possible, carry the load as fast as possible, dump as fast as possible and return as fast as possible. High cycle time=high production. I think of it this way, as soon as your blade is full, 45 yards or whatever these hold, you can't push any more than that and all you're doing is rolling material out the side of your blade. Plus when you back over your material you are compacting it. When you start your cut at the back you create a hole that you have to push up and out of. When you start your cut at the front you create a hole that you are pushing down into. You then back up to the back side of that hole to start your next push always try to cut downhill. Cutting downhill allows you to use the weight of the machine to speed up cutting time. As soon as your blade is full go to second gear, the machine will carry a full load in second. I usually set my speed limit at 4mph forward and 5mph in reverse. When you stay in first while pushing the machine will continue cutting and rolling material out the side of the blade but you aren't actually carrying any more material. Working the dozers side by side would also increase production by about 25% but it is very difficult to do because one operator has to lead and one has to stay stuck by his side. They don't like doing this. Dozer operators are a cantankerous bunch and you can't get them to go along with anything I just said.

Depends on the intended finish point of the shot material. If youre doing a bench move then pushing up, to set up for final roll and throw over onto the next bench. Four d11's can technically move a bench just as quick as, if not quicker than a digger and four trucks with less fuel and wear on components. If you watch in the background you can see the stack ramping up. I will agree that slotting is better practice by far but doing it flat out is detrimental to long life of your components, your chassis and your operators back.
Holy cow! You saved my day with that video! ;-)

Played on a CD one time and idlein when you pick that blade up it leans forward and bogs down…you definitely notice a difference in it vs standard 45yrd…look up coal mining in Appalachia and you’ll see a job I first worked on in hazard Ky and feller cought 13 11s side by side staggered of course all pushin…I was in awe when I got there ready to steam.l

One of the first times I've ever seen a ripper utilized properly. I think on the two R series we had, which we foolishly purchased rippers on, it was about an $82,000 option and on the 10 Ns it was a $57,000 option. Unless we were working in fairly soft slate , and pushing on a downhill drag , they were worse than useless. They were always in the way . Always keeping you much further away from the wall than our non rippered machines. Day in and day out I cant think of any operator I would recommend purchasing a ripper for a 9 ,10 or 11 . That's just my opinion though.
