I’ve run a 475 and I have run a D11 cat in rock in dirt in mud and I stil prefer the high track cat because of the ride especially in rock. All those roller bogies are rubber padded and with the final drive up high you get less shock and vibration on the operator and the tracks don’t load up as much in mud . I’ve been an operator for 40 years now . Got in the operating engineers union in 1976 started on scrapers then tamper cats then slope cats then pioneer cats and loved that most . Busting in haul roads to the top of 300 foot cuts busting in down ramps for scrapers off those 300 foot cuts . Moved millions of yards out here in Southern California back in the day . I got one of the first 9L high track dozers in California. Before that we were running D9G and D9H dozers

Awesome thank you for all the hard work. People have no idea how hard it is to build everything around them. I also really like the CAT equipment great machinery.

Yeah unfortunately D-11 couldn’t handle the Silica Sand , that’s why Patterson Quarries purchased the D475-8 Direct from Japan,

​@@steviechalmers1218yeah we have 2 475s and 2 d11r's at work. Can't get me off the 475 I've been in for almost 3 years now.

Even heavier than D11, this dozer is beast, thanks for video

​@@brockwelcherNHoperated either? I've done a few thousand hours in both. Visibility is the only thing the 11 does better than a 475.

Komatsu, God Bless You! When you grow up you could be a kitty Cat!

Toda una belleza de bulldozer Komatsu!

I love Komatsu

wow Amazing big bulldozer komat'su

I'm so used to seeing large CAT dozers that this one looks a bit odd without the high-mount drive axle. 'Flat' treads like this mean a 'small' dozer in my mind, but that one is certainly not small.

i love em both but that cat 11 just got that look to it

What a dozer! Call it "Godzilla" lol.k I do believe the background sound might be a rock crusher or dirt sizing shaker.

The size of these makes it look like a lego minifig driving a normal size dozer.

I love your videos.

These modern machines are gradually replacing the human eye to do the heavy lifting

Ive run them both man. Komatsu is garbage. Only one id give a chance too is that px 71. Hydrostatic drive. But CAT has them all beat to shit. 9 out of 10 operators will say the same thing which speaks volumes in itself.
