      Compared to what the Army had during the Viet Nam era these are highly sophisticated. The only thing that looks new are the bobcats, the high tracked D-8 and the grader. The Cat D-7 and the 621B and the water distribution truck are at least 20 to 25 year’s old. I know this for a fact since I retired from the U.S. Army Reserves in 95

      The first D 7’s I ever ran were the Viet Nam leftover D 7E’s at both Ft Leonard Wood and Ft Dix. My unit at Ft Dix had one with the tree clearing Rhom plow and cab but we kept the regular dozer blade on with the cab for when we worked with Post Engineers demolishing the old WW2 style wooden barracks . I got a lot of stick time at the age of 18 on those old girls. But man you had to leave the jumper cables on them for a good while in the winter to get them started on those cold 15 degree mornings. This was before the Rops cabs were required

      @@christheisgen2979 Why would I be kidding? it's a fact that the military invented heavy construction machinery, mostly being modified tanks. It also invented mass petroleum-based extractive infrastructure and megaconstruction projects based on quarried materials. Military R&D and industrial R&D are the same thing controlled by the same people, the military industrial complex runs "the economy". We live in a world made by war and that's why it is so fucked up.

      No it didn't. The graders were all normal cabs. Same as any other 140m.
      I had to grade with a 130h that had an armored cab. You can't see anything. You have to sit up on the sticks to see the top of the blade. So the doors were propped open usually. Got told not to pretty much daily.
      Armored cabs definitely suck to operate.

    This flat out click bait. I went ahead and watched it all, because I know my heavy equipment. I should, my family owened, “Western States Caterpillar & Heavy Equipment” for 86 years, up until 4 years ago. We sold everything from heavy equipment for road building to mining to farming and to the logging industry. My favorite equipment was, and always has been the various logging equipment. I put the link to my families company at the bottom.
    I was the Vice President of our HSE Dept, At-Large, company wide. From my earliest memories I remember climbing up on the all the equipment in our main show room in Missoula Montana to all our other locations that my father would take me to as a boy growing up. Growing up, up until I was about 15 we only had the Missoula location, along with the Kalispell & Butte offices. Both in Montana.
    After my father died, actually Starting about five years before he died we begin to get approached by much larger companies to sell. So 4 years ago we had a family wide meeting to vote on selling our families legacy. But only under certain conditions. Our headquarters was and it still is Missoula Montana.
    At the time we sold the company we had 16 locations. Offices in Montana Idaho Washington State & Wyoming. The number 1 condition the new owners will always have to live up to is, not lay off any, any of our legacy employees. Those are the ones that worked for us at least 10 years or more at the time of the sale. If it came down to them having to be laid off they would not be laid off they would be given their full retirement with their full health benefit package.
    If any employee that was 10 years or less was to be laid off within the first 10 years of buying our corporation the new owners would have to give them a two year severance package. Meaning 2 years worth of gross wages, taxes paid by the company. And there full health benefits for 2 years and, the company continued to pay for the health package 100%.
    My father and grandfather along with his brothers started covering all of our employees health benefits 100% over 25 years ago. And I have news for anybody, if our company can do it along with Marathon Oil Occidental Petroleum and some more companies I know of personally can, then I assure you nearly all, All mid cap to large cap companies can do it.
    That’s one of the reasons that my entire family absolutely despises Walmart. They pay their employees peanuts and they have terrible health insurance. Companies have a moral obligation to look after their employees. My father and my grandfather always said treat your employees just like you do your mother and grandmother. And they will kill for you metaphorically speaking of course.

      Some stuff is different then normal equipment but not much. Yeah the roller (a 563 actually) sucks but it can be airdropped so that why it was picked. I always said a tow behind unit could be used as dropable equipment. And I always wished we had rock trucks. We used a freaking pan for everything. I literally loaded pans with a deer 240 for a week because the on road dumps would have required a road built with constant maintenance.
