I like how the guy in the stuck dozer did absolutely nothing to help the recovery. i thought the transmission was gone until he started backup up after he was out! he was powing dirt the whole time trying to get dragged out of the water, and even a LITTLE bit of reverse would have made that 80% easier.

Did you see him hauling back on the sticks like a man possessed to try to stop it going into the water? If I had to guess, he went over the edge for the same reason he couldn't (or didn't want to risk trying to) use the tracks to help the recovery. Once he was on level ground he was able to jam it into reverse & started trundling backwards towards the maintenance workshop, otherwise my bet is he would have just done a three point turn & driven off the 'beach' forward.

@muntee33

Жыл бұрын

Coal miner? Just a guess.... LoL... Blade down should have been and automatic response once it was understood that control had been lost yes, but he wasn't planning on dropping off the edge, he was lifting his blade to allow the material to fall out from under it so the machine would remain level when tracking over it for the first time. Ie; gradually establishing a degree of compaction at the crest which could be progressed outwards with the advancing face, *this methodology allows for the final blade to be left at the crest and be situated on material with an already established degree of compaction. Using the methodology where a full blade is left at the crest and is pushed over with another full blade, (meaning there is always a blade of dirt at the crest) and other usual methods for progressing a tip face usually results in the area under the crest bund having a great deal less compaction than the area immediately beside the crest bund... Which in turn possess a higher level of risk when other machinery work close to this crest bund, and is actually the primary reason for tip/haul trucks to accidentally drive through the crest bund. (Especially when the bund(s) is intersected at an angle.) So yea, while blade/bucket down when in trouble is the rule of thumb, this methodology leaves little room/time for this. (Especially if there was an issue with a software setting/upgrade where transmission selections are 'not allowed' in certain circumstances, such as X seconds after selecting neutral and reselecting the previous direction. Such intermittent problems/issues may have caused the op to choose to persist with the issue but unsuccessfully perform the control inputs required to 'bypass' such functional issues/problems due to being stressed and/or inexperienced in such a situation.)

It’s amazing just how cavalier all those people are being so close to working heavy machinery as they are. It’s as if they are all so bored they decided ‘let’s go watch the bulldozers’. They are all so good at giving directions too, especially the ‘chain testers’? The ones who have to stand so close to chains and cables under load so they can see when they’re going to snap!

More oil in the transmission will sort it out, seen that happen before, lack of maintenance.

Back in the early 80's there was a coal mine close to my familys property and one of the guys was pushing in dirt just like in this video but the bank collapsed and the bulldozer fell into the water and sank 60 feet deep. He had to ride it all the way to the bottom because of the cabin pressure he made it out alive. Crazy things can happen when you least expect them to. They drained the water out as much as they could. They sent divers in and hooked cables up to it and it took them almost a mile of equipment to pull it out. They did rebuild the bulldpzer and its still being used by the county today....

Thank you for showing what your not to do that quick at edge of push. Must be the owner or his son. By the way he came out and started Yelling at everyone one else. I can see the excavator digging a trench. But the strap should have gone on the other Dozer first. My friend was pushing SNOW on a highway that has cliffs on very edge to highway. He worked for DOT, that pushed snow off cliff to clear road. The gears were tight on Reverse. He said it stuck sometimes on shift, on the big Dozer he ran. He said it was scary, with the Rusty old Equipment they used to push Snow. It scared the heck out of him, pushing SNOW off cliff, because Dozer was hard to put in Reverse. This reminds me of his story. He never went over.
