Need bigger bucket,short arm on this machine
I do 3000 tons on a 992 in 8 hrs. I like that machine. You guys hiring ?
I know this is an old video but you are very annoying. You should hire out to Komatsu to be a design engineer. Your also a lousy operator by the way. Hope you've learned how to run a dozer in the last 7 years.
This is fucking wild! Badass machine. Wish i kno how to drive that bad boy
👍👍👍👍👍
As I'm see, it's weak at push,n,corner cuts spin to much smaller pads will bite up go on,wh_ test spin,n point ,let's do production that's where it's pay,n off at ,not play,n around like your rookie is,such a waste of time!!!!
Komatsu 400 with8.5 stick 72 in. Bucket will out load them!!!!!!,seen it happen many times 50 years,experience experience
Need a change in strategy,,it,ll hold more material, digg,n to close to machine also
Need bigger bucket ,I remember, in my day 2.5 to 3buckets on 1250
Great video 👍
Oh my goodness, that's literally the same rigid I'm running right now haha! It looks like it was in much better shape 8 years ago, however.
One of the best machines
the new D11 interior is way better
Sucks, always in the shop. CODE CA2387. Replaced torbo and bunch of other stuff. Still got code and still runs like shit. Stick to CAT.
Cute short pole 😂
What a waste unless they did it just for this video
What a waste of an operator 😂
❤❤
How long to get one stick in
Rookie,operator
my dream to have. komatsu💪💪
What piece of equipment did he master for others to look up to?
So proud of you 🎉
That’s my cousin and childhood best friend ❤
I know that guy!
Very informative

So beyond happy and proud of you dad ❤️
You need operators?
Is this live
Point is to manage a nice cut , depends on soil type so as that you need many hands in scrapers , sand , wet clay heavy dirt , your finish scrapers are monure wagons , get on a job with 100 scrapers see ya , black smoke
I cannot get mine to connect
Neck hair rubbing the mic is sooooooo f*#$ing annoying!!!!
brand spanking new scraper lmao nice
Добрый вечер кто скажет это где
That’s fuckin sick
What’d they do with that top soil ? A landscape company I feel like would love that pile of dirt haha !!!
Furthermore anything bout any kind of dirt iron Kidco is for girl boys looking to graduate to adult diapers
Price
👍👍👍
Very limited view 😢 this was much better on the older Cats
I got few silly questions. I'snt bedding supposed to be compacted? Is there anyone checking laser alignment? how is slope maintained?
Why is box on ground....why is digging machine not bedding and covering pipe
A very competent operator, well intuned to the dozer
"PromoSM"
D11..N1.
Been watching you for 8 years
If you're running your blade control that much you don't know what you're doing so your evaluation of a machine doesn't mean much
You are the best great help God bless you
