I'd argue that it doesn't really have a problem with farm gateways, or gateways in general. As long as you don't mind about the state of the gate afterwards.

My dad could be gruff, but his switch was keen to see when his boys needed support. A friend had left his 'Modified Stock Car' in my dad's gas station repair bay for weeks. Dad asked when it was going to be moved. I got all defensive and blurted out 'It doesn't even handle; the wheel base is too long.' In WW2, he used to modify Jeeps for a bit of racing fun. He quietly wheeled over the torches and pointed to the frame just behind the motor mounts. 'I figure 13 inches from here should do it.' In about an hour, it was stiched back together, plated (he was an excellent welder), and touched up. I was so proud of him when the owners jaw dropped open, followed by a smile. Now, it handled.

You did everything by the book there Joe, even the odd hi viz! Starts well (Adam knows that score) sounds well, steers well. Plenty of black smoke = Plenty of power. Tidy. I hope it's a good one. 👍🏻

Fantastic! I could listen to that engine all day. Love how Adam glanced around the cab, checked you were on the roof and instantly knew how to drive it. Conqueror ARV? Nah this'll handle anything.

Either it's too wide for normal farm gateways but now you can have 14' wide gates everywhere on your farm. What a winner. The irony of the killdozer sticker is that it didn't kill anyone......

What a great vlog and how touching you taught your dad to drive the bulldozer a great memory

Bloody brilliant video. This is definitely the best channel on KZread without any doubt whatsoever. Love it!!!

It’s not like I could ever get bored watching you fix tanks with nothing more than a hammer, a leatherman and the biggest stilson in the world but I love this video. Nothing much happens except that you drive a vehicle fit for that stilson but it’s amazing to see everyone having a go. The bit with your dad was great and Thea shows no fear.

The driver’s education bit reminds me of when my buddy taught me to run a diesel locomotive. No steering but, just the amount of weight that I was moving by just pulling and pushing on the levers was quite scary!

Who Doesn't Love a Cat, Hey I used to operate them when I was a wee lad, Operating tip, make sure you pull the hand steering clutches all the way, do not pull them half way you will wear out the clutches, fully engaged or disengaged, pull hard release as required, tap brake to steer tighter. Lots of guys burn out there clutches. Keep and Eye on the Final drives the rear bearing takes all the shock loading when your pushing. It has a magnetic drain plug when you see chips pull the bearings and replace ASAP. you wait to long and then things get really ugly.

Nice D9 I grew up on D8H’s and K’s grandpa used em for making logging roads in Oregon. I have a video of some logging he did in the 50’s logs so big it took two cats to load the trucks

We used to use a D6 without the blade as a tank tow vehicle at Marchwood Military Port in the 80s/90s

Great work tank team giving everyone a go 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Once the D9 has got some revs on, look how CLEANLY it burns... only a smidge of black soot on spool up... 😎👍 diesel's aren't dirty all the time.

In today's woke society we cannot assume she is a bird nor call her a bird and the assumption of fitness is a personal assessment. BUT I do agree mr Hughes has a "fit bird" and I too, although I have one of the aforementioned at home would like mine to be a bit more into these sort of things as my trying to fake interest in cushions is getting tiresome. I did get her to go green laning a couple of times but come 4am in the morning after being accidentally but humorously upside down for a small amount of the night in a place I probably shouldn't of been (reminds me of an ex girlfriend) she decided she didn't like it any more. Now I came to realise after seing the v12 in the lounge of Mr Hughes that any girlfriend that is happy with such loverly decor must be a keeper, mine went spastic after coming home to find out I had put a pair of v8 cylinder head in the dishwasher, tottaly unreasonable i thought but I'm stuck with her now.

The D9 will be cheaper to run and maintain than the Bentley 👍

when he was backing it up, i didn't see the gate and thought; "where's he gonna go with that?" then about one second later my brain went into gear and i thought: "it's a giant bulldozer - wherever he wants!" 😆

Another operating tip Newbies tend to dive the blade in the ground and try and push to much, start with a 1inch bite and move forward after about 25 feet you will have a full rolling blade of dirt. look down the on the right side between the track and the body you can see the bottom of the blade and regulate your cut. Open the throttle all the way put your foot on the decelerator as you move forward and pick up dirt add power to maintain speed.
