Check other videos out!!! two komatsu 575 Dozers pushing a 30 metre wide road in, 160 tonne of material per tractor each pass at stockton mine in new zealand
I worked for this company in that mine, and when you were working next to one of these monsters, and he had his entire blade full, coming at you it was scary, and awesome at the same time. 1100 HP, twin turbo, twin fuel pumps, same engine that was in the Komatsu 785 haul truck.
Sometime in the late 80s they brought the first 575 over to America. My grandfather was featured in the magazine as first to operate the dozer. He said they got it to the site piece by piece on a train and then assembled it on site! I wished my grandmother could find the magazine.
CAT kids. Just look at their latest creation the new D7E, IT is a LOW SPROCKET design!!! If you look at the D11s the sprocket tooth loading is all on MAYBE 5 or 6 teeth.The original D10 was bad enough but then they upgraded the tracks for the 11s buy making them longer BEHIND the sprocket which took even more track AWAY from the sprocket .ALL other dozers have 180°of track to contact the sprocket, which can be up to 20 plus teeth. The pin & bushing loading is BRUTAL on a high sprocket dozer
Mr jpsj. It's a fire suppression tank. It's connected to lines that run into the engine bay etc to extinguish fires of the button is hit. I work for a company as a boilermaker and fit these systems to a lot of caterpillar machines. This is mine spec stuff.
The scene at 1:46 is pretty mind boggling.Komatsu first had their own 1,000hp 264,000lb D555A bulldozer at Conexpo 81 in Houston.BennetShovel has a long 10 minute video of one pushing dirt up hill to.
What was amazing was the 575a-3 that could push 30% more than these a-2's. You can tell them apart as the a-3 does not have a ripper, just a huge counter weight.
@d5pyte maybe but what are your thoughts on why the more expensive and (in your opinion) less productive D11 sells at a ratio of 3 to 1? There is a massive factor in each machines ability to do work that neither manufacturer can control
I wonder if a d11 could do two passes in the time it takes this machine to complete one pass. I believe that a d11 would be more efficient per ton of material moved.
There is absolutely no competition’ Komatsu D575 -A is a unbelievable Dozer,, Blade load 90 cubic yards or 24.3 tons of material on every pass , it will rip anything out the ground , there is nothing that will stop this Super Dozer , 3 Cat D-11-Rs couldn’t even compare to what this monster can move , ❤️👍
Some serious Heavy metal there! So I wonder what the audio system is like in those cabs? I'd be blasting my music while working on them! Bit of rolling stones or something? lol
@zrparker1981 it all depends on what your pushing and the style of blade that is being used on the machine... ucan have blades that spread, that carry all sorts different sizes for different material.
I dont know how old you are or if you remember the old Allis Chambers dozers fom the 70's and 80's but they built one back then that was almost as big as this 575,,man it was a giant for its day and way bigger than the old D9 of the era,,seems like they were calle a HD41 I think but not sure.
@784plb The D10s & D11s are NOT,repeat NOT,repeat NOT,the same. The original D10s had a shorter track frame than the new replacement D11s. The track frame on an 11 is longer after the sprocket which takes track chain AWAY from the sprocket ie LESS tooth contact with the chain.
@harryscrotum007 yeah but where does the final drive get its power from.. through the engine to the torque divider then through the transmission out to your final drives.. its obvious the 575 can push more becauses in general its a all round bigger dozer.. but the raised sprocket is still a better design then standard... you have alot more stress on sprocket when thier not raised, its obvious
@duane2072 he might have newer corner shoes on...that tends to make the blade bite in more....or he could be in harder material. It looks like a dogs breakfast of rock & soil there, but I guess you have to take the video as you see it. Hard to say, but they look to working in a mixed matrix there.
My experience is as an operator, and from touring different operations around the world. Like I said, I feel the numbers would be a whole lot different if you really looked.
@zrparker1981 I totally agree with you. A D-11T will not out push a D575 push for push. The D-11 will how ever push more dirt while the Komatsu is in the shop for 3 months waiting on some five dollar part that has to be made to order. There is a reason why Black Thunder Mine has over 60 D-11's and 0 575's. They had one at one time (Im sure some Komatsu rep was doing some man touching to get it there) and they couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
Cat has to step up to the plate and build a 1350 hp. with better fuel economy and more push pull .If they want to stay ahead of the rest.Komat has passed them by with their machines.
Does anyone know which dozer the CAT or Komatsu has the higher rate of air filters clogging? Not sure if a flat track makes a difference vs. elevated (closer to the intake). Thanks
Cat has. Komatsu and most Japanese equipment has factored in their systems to suit 3rd world nations with service in mind trying to avoid problems with sourcing filters hence they fit good pre cleaners. Some companies you have to buy as options.
A very strong machine but it was priced high, maintenance cost is unbelievable and ended up being parked out most places because of maintenance cost. You could get two Cat D11s for the price of one 575 and on a long push one D11 can move almost as much material in a 11 1/2 hr shift as the 575. The cat is that much faster and also cheaper to operate. But when the 575 was running it was a sight to behold.
Yes far more efficient models out now. One of these 2 dozers is in a heavy machine museum in Cambridge New Zealand. Was gifted to the owner as they couldn’t find anyone to purchase the old gas guzzlers. New owner only had to sort the heavy haul bill to get it to the museum. I have a pic of my boy standing on the top plate. Can hardly make him out up there.
I'd like to know where you got the figure of "85% of the production machines in pits are flat tracks". I've never found that number to be anywhere near the truth. In fact, I would say it's close to 70% high track.
Im totally confused. A a dozer moves it can only push so much soil from one point to another, any more than this can only fall off to the sides. A full dozer blade cant be that much so why keep pushing, all its doing is creating a shallow trench. Some one WHO KNOWS please advise me. NO KNOW IT ALL PLEASE
@zrparker1981 These Super Dozers burn so much fuel it is not even cost efficient to utilize them in any job. You will quickly loose money. How much does this monster weigh and how deep do the rippers rip into the earth?
+SuburbAllied You don't understand how much dirt they are pushing.. A smaller dozer can move a lot faster but to push the same about the same distance would take hours vs the 20 minutes it took these machines
I wish there were some kind of mine turned amusement part where normal people with some training could rent one of these for 5 minutes and have a go at moving soil.
@21gibbs, 575s arnt much bigger then d11s, and have a bad disign, even though they cant use high track because cat copy wrote it. the final drives take more stress because thier so big and get more surface area from the tracks having to go basically right around and the duo cones get ran into the ground from being so exposed to the dirt, also 575s dont even have removable belly guards, you have smalled space to stick hands in under, other wise for big jobs you have to remove the enitre cab..
I worked for this company in that mine, and when you were working next to one of these monsters, and he had his entire blade full, coming at you it was scary, and awesome at the same time. 1100 HP, twin turbo, twin fuel pumps, same engine that was in the Komatsu 785 haul truck.
Where is this mine or query at any ways? Doesn't look like anything in the USA?
@@athensboy123 It is the Stockton coal mine on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island.
Do you prefer these Komatsus or a Cat D11?
Is anyone still alive after 10 years?
Thought I'd seen it all in the D11 Cat but this is in a class of its own, unbelievable.
Sometime in the late 80s they brought the first 575 over to America. My grandfather was featured in the magazine as first to operate the dozer. He said they got it to the site piece by piece on a train and then assembled it on site! I wished my grandmother could find the magazine.
Yes the Tracks, blade, rippers are all separate.
amazing both 575s r going at the same time almost
everytime i went up to service the a40s ther was a 575 in the workshop

i need that ripper🤫
É a komatsu e a sua grande tecnologia na fabricação de ecpamentos pesados os gigantes 575.
They always seem to be in SLOOO_MOOOO
Parker needs this!
Always good to watch these two Tonka toys ermm I mean giants in action! 🤔🙃🤧
excellent video buddy.
Burning 🔥max diesel , great stuff . Push on for ever :)
the engine note must be insane
Qué equipos más extraordinarios, un saludo
This is what you need to move mountains. True earth movers.👍🏻🇺🇸
i think both brands are great machines
Very nice to Se them do a road instead of just pooching overburden! God video hope for more :)
They're removing overburden in an opencast mine in New Zealand.
MOVING EARTH ! ! ! LOOKING GOOD.......
has grate sound and power as well.
Great sound
Yes he's grating the transmission... Can you hear it?
As Crocodile Dundee would say: "This is an earth mover."
this makes the d11 look like a tonka toy
Nice video. Thanks.
Essa maquinas sao demais😊😊
Mmmmmmm, just imagining the size of the dirt jumps I could make with those puppies! :-D
World's slowest drag race
I’ve seen this exact dozer at Brooklyn quarry nz the fire extinguisher is bigger then me
@d5pyte maybe but what are your thoughts on why the more expensive and (in your opinion) less productive D11 sells at a ratio of 3 to 1? There is a massive factor in each machines ability to do work that neither manufacturer can control

El bulldozer mas impresionante que he visto, esta perra la marca komatsu
boost @0.20 ohhhhh yeaaaa thats power!
now that is how you move a mountain!!!.
I have a sneaking suspicion these two are ex Qld coalfields in Aus, there were two of these at Peak Downs but were sold to somewhere in NZ..
@TheStyrman heck ya im sporting a wood just listening to them v 12's purr!!
@PureN3WZ3ALAND Yeah...they use them to enlarge the island ,zealand didnt used to have a boot heal until they came out with this beast.
Komatsu for the win!
CAT'
the best footage of these machine in high definition is here
czcams.com/video/WDz-uk-sLgQ/video.html
Power!
good job..
How do the operators see anything out of those tiny cabs? Or do they use "The Force"?
There is absolutely no competition’ Komatsu D575 -A is a unbelievable Dozer,, Blade load 90 cubic yards or 24.3 tons of material on every pass , it will rip anything out the ground , there is nothing that will stop this Super Dozer , 3 Cat D-11-Rs couldn’t even compare to what this monster can move , ❤️👍
135 tons per 90 cu yd pass, with a safe assumption of 1.5 tons per cu yd.
We had 2 575s on the Anthem project in Henderson Nevada 04-06.
Some serious Heavy metal there! So I wonder what the audio system is like in those cabs? I'd be blasting my music while working on them! Bit of rolling stones or something? lol
this machine makes the d11 look like a childs toy.
this link has the best quality of the komatus czcams.com/video/WDz-uk-sLgQ/video.html
cat d11..120 tone.... komus... 575 182 tone..
Big slow and numb buddy seat for the fitter ... D11 everytime far more versatile 👍👍🍺
im pretty sure the single shank ripper on one of those will rip rock 2 meters deep
Nossa !!!😲 É um Monsters comedor de terra !
These are 2 good adversaries for chuck norris...
They should call this thing “the glacier”.
@zrparker1981 it all depends on what your pushing and the style of blade that is being used on the machine... ucan have blades that spread, that carry all sorts different sizes for different material.

I dont know how old you are or if you remember the old Allis Chambers dozers fom the 70's and 80's but they built one back then that was almost as big as this 575,,man it was a giant for its day and way bigger than the old D9 of the era,,seems like they were calle a HD41 I think but not sure.
Fun when people compare this to a CAT D11 when a 575 is 1.5 times as big(heavy)
They’re still the biggest dozers in the industry
@784plb The D10s & D11s are NOT,repeat NOT,repeat NOT,the same. The original D10s had a shorter track frame than the new replacement D11s. The track frame on an 11 is longer after the sprocket which takes track chain AWAY from the sprocket ie LESS tooth contact with the chain.
To give you an idea of how colossal this monster is. Its about equal in weight and Horsepower to *THREE* D9G's!!!!!!
How can the operators see where they are going? The blade is taller than the cab.
bet this is a fun job
Great power
55 gallons an hour of diesel ....i ran a 375 , would love to operate a 575 :)
@harryscrotum007 yeah but where does the final drive get its power from.. through the engine to the torque divider then through the transmission out to your final drives.. its obvious the 575 can push more becauses in general its a all round bigger dozer.. but the raised sprocket is still a better design then standard... you have alot more stress on sprocket when thier not raised, its obvious
"don't stop me now, don't stop me.....cause I'm having a good time..."

It's got a flashing light on top so low flying aircraft dont hit it

Kamtus is tha beast
Good nice, from Indonesian
Komasutra is a really funny name
@575kiwi yea because cat is the best at everything it makes
@TheHank58 What's a wheel barrel?
@575kiwi i didnt know we had these beasts in nz :o
komatsu super tangguh.
@zrparker1981

C'est un monstre d'acier
@TheJamesloy Looks are important in the industrial world.
What is the red tank on the side?
Che bello poter vedere uno scontro Komatsu vs Caterpillar
Cat has to step up to the plate and build a 1350 hp. with better fuel economy and more push pull .If they want to stay ahead of the rest.Komat has passed them by with their machines.
Komatsu stopped building the 575, so that would pretty much indicate that there is not a big enough market for Cat to bother with.
yes that would do it ..no market.but the quality of the machines still challanges Cat,that they should still bother with.
Does anyone know which dozer the CAT or Komatsu has the higher rate of air filters clogging? Not sure if a flat track makes a difference vs. elevated (closer to the intake). Thanks
Cat has. Komatsu and most Japanese equipment has factored in their systems to suit 3rd world nations with service in mind trying to avoid problems with sourcing filters hence they fit good pre cleaners. Some companies you have to buy as options.
Too bad the video quality isn't a little better. That's ok though, the impressive machines make up for it 👍🏻
@frostexcavating well said.
They are close to the size of the dozens on Avatar

Ciao,si lo so che in questo caso sono entrambi Komatsu mi riferivo a quanto sarebbe bello poter vedere uno scontro tra cat e kom
is that a house or a dozer?????????????????
If an Alien where to watch this, it would probably find it a very peculiar hobby, pushing some dirt in slow motion speed.

What's is the name of the site in New Zealand that those monsters work?
Stockton mine at the time of the video but they are not there any more
ni lo quiera dios esos animales mueven montañas, los japoneses son la mera brasa!!!
I wish there were some kind of mine turned amusement part where normal people with some training could rent one of these for 5 minutes and have a go at moving soil.
