The only thing I heard an operator complain about was the blade not being heavy enough compared to the cats. Its not as easy to get it to cut into hard ground.
We just leased one of these for our Cleanfill in New Zealand, got a D53P-18 with a PAT blade, but it's not keeping up with the 36 ton 9 axle truck and trailers
Thank you. Where I live is sandy soil & plenty of it. We have sticky Grey Clay,the kind damn near impossible to build anything on. I'm sure Ireland has it's fair share of Clay deposit's know to give operators a hard time . Particularly Red Clay, no matter what part of the world that Red Clay is a nightmare . Take care Chris.
I cant say I know all the particular soil types but id guess its very much a clay based soil we have here and usually about 8 to 10 inches deep. In the video it looks very dry and dusty which is only because its been warm and dry lately. That is not the norm lol. The subsoil is generally a red clay which is that color because its full of iron. As far as I know the red clay came from mile high glaciers rolling over the land in the ice ages.
I think I know the what you mean by sticky grey clay you cant build on. Ive heard it called sleech here and its the kind of stuff you would get in boggy areas or river valleys. Theres a lot of it in central Belfast as its a river valley. The red clay here is generally very hard and will support a building no problem at all. Terrible when it gets wet though!
Good video. Looks like the blade on that machine is a bit small for the size of machine, also not a bad operator doing long pushes with a wide tack, not the best for that job. Good looking topsoil you guys have, bet you don't have any problems growing cover.
Blade is very small for pushing light material like dry topsoil. Its not often its as dry as that with the constant rain here!
