As a construction inspector I watched a dozer hit a big rock only it turned out to be a mastodon bone. It was fun watching paleontologist dig out the rest of the mastodon by hand. The area was closed off to construction for a couple months. This was at the Diamond Valley dam in Southern California.

I love operating any big dozer or even a wobble stick backhoe. Really, anything that has to do with working in the dirt. The smell of new cuts, either rock or soft dirt, just makes the work so much easier. And having control of a machine that big doing the work just makes it that much better.

It's hard to grasp the size of these machines from videos. There's nothing like feeling the ground shake when one starts tracking towards you

I was glad to see a very serious roll bar. A kid across the street went to Cal Tech for an ME , spent his life a Cat. in Peoria. I think he mainly did gear train calcs.

Some 20000h of this.. then fresh paint and RB for sale/auction, good as new... I can't even imagine how rough times these machine go trough. That kind of fight with hard rock "24/7" really do wear stuff out..

Watching that D11 work. Made me realize that I really don’t understand just how powerful they really are. Plus that operator is one lucky man
