Tip a 50 gallon drum of sump oil ; old dead batteries; worn truck tires anything that will burn on that heap throw a match in then happy days..Gets rid of pesky rubbish and replenishes the dangerously low CO2 levels we suffer from.
In 46 years, loaded many excavators and dozers on low beds, muddy tracks, icy deck you name it, never slid one off. Kills me when I see a video of a Dozer climbing on trailer with the blade high! Yikes!
I don't know if it's a generic thing or just peculiar to my own childhood memory. When I was watching this clip, it immediately brought to mind the very special smell of freshly-bulldozed earth... there is no similar association with the smell of other disturbed earth, such as excavated foundation trenches etc. Perhaps it simply related to the local site surface vegetation, but nevertheless, quite a strange yet happy experience, sitting here in my study 50 years later!
Loved our old D9G , nothing like the feeling of getting the blade loaded and pulling that throttle ... Rumbles through your body as the torque builds and the earth moves !
I jus' luv' dis' type of dozer work! I grew up on ranch that needed grubbing of thick under brush and rocks. A good running CAT dozer makes a smooth & steady sound even when it's digging into the ground or pushing heavy materials.
I never forget every time I see a D9G I think of my dad him driving and me sitting on the fuel tank. He would let me lower and raise the blade. Miss you Dad 😇😇🙏🙏
Impressive looking older Cat D9G clearing land. Yes, the smell of freshly-bulldozed earth takes me way back to childhood on the farm, dad and his John Deere.

Barely working that monster.

She’s graceful 🇺🇸🍀🤙🏻
Overkill is underrated. He's doing all this at a high idle and not breaking a sweat.
