The joys of getting high-centered... That is the cleanest blade i have seen in a long time!
I just watched your video of the D8T. I had to chuckle! You would be blown away by how absolutely useless steel tracks are on ice. Youd never think. Corks are a must have, dont waste a second fooling around with out corks, it just isn't worth the risk..... That D8T had brand new pads too, imagine a well worn unit with 20% pads, your in for a ride! Great video, thanks for posting!
+dieseldamon Yes, i know first hand of how bad not having corks is. The bosses upstairs don't have a clue though. They said the lease was suppose to have corks in it according to the tender, but i struggled for 3 months pushing snow without corks. Had to leave a 1 foot thick base to get any sort of traction if you wanted to push. Unless the loader operator had any clue what they were doing and would take half of the pile and cut it off and push it forward.
Good team work
Came out of that pile of snow pushing air like a Boss with that big blade
bigtodd12159 probably just happy to be out on two tracks instead of on his side lol
The relief when you finally get the machine out & get the hell out of there before the boss arrives 👍
Construction Machines Channel the best part is when you’re not either of the operators. And you’re just along for the show lol!
Whsts wring with the loader bucket? It doesn’t rotate to full position
Wow, I never thought that could happen.
With a poor operator anything is possible lol
Wondering how long it took for the operator to live this down
Albert Cyphers when you work for a large employer, there’s a lot of events like this that happen, so there’s always something new to laugh at.
A Pisten Bully would be the machine to use. They move ridiculous amounts of snow.
Jeff Guimond a snowcat would not even think about touching the snow that we have to push. A fully loaded triaxle end dump with wet heavy snow, let that sit for a few minutes and it becomes a solid mass. My employer has gone away from using dozers. And we strictly use loader to stack the snow, cheaper alternative and we don’t get nearly the same amount of snow we use to.
ippielb , I can say from watching the exact same thing happen in my home town about 5 years ago where they got a D8 stuck in the middle of their snow pile, that took a full day to recover using two 330 excavators. They brought in a mid size bully 400 and in under two days had the pile stacked up over 40’. That was the only time I can remember the city needing to pile it up like that. They haven’t come close to filling the lot since then.
Dozers are just too heavy with not enough flotation to work on snow.
Jeff Guimond i spent a winter in the dozer, you can get the snow to harden if you let it sit for a little while. I never had problems with floatation. The only time I noticed the tractor breaking through was on our blown snow. The snow that came out of the blower was pulverized and made into the consistency or sugar. Even then you’d only fall for about a foot and then climb back on top. The landfill drove over a d6t LGP, with a PAT blade, and it would push just as much as the d8 did. I have a couple videos of dropping in the snow I believe.
Jeff Guimond also forgot to mention, at one point our snow dump was busy enough, we ran out of room, a full quarter section of land was filled with ramps, we had 5 d8’s, and 2-3 payloaders working 24/7 just to keep the place open. 250+ trucks an hour. The snow never melted that summer, and the next year after that it never melted until September.
Jeff Guimond another fault of this dozer in the video is it had calron ripping tracks on it from the landfill. So it shredded the snow and kept aerating it so it wouldn’t harden or compact.
Someone needs corks!
+dieseldamon Yeah, we had the cutting pads on it from the landfill, that was two years ago, last winter we had a brand new D8T, without corks, i took a video of it, again without corks. Sliding down a 0.2% grade. Check it out. ruclips.net/video/34bG_yJR9FU/видео.html
Just leave it there till spring. It will be back on the ground 🤣
only in Canada A pity the year after this video, the snow never melted for two years! That would’ve been bad. Plus the thing probably would’ve ended up upside down lol
those damned back up alarms are enough make you nuts.
Bill Fitzpatrick yes, extremely. When we are working in the summertime we are in confined spaces. In back alleys, our graders backup alarms are rated to 111db. Same as our track loader. We have asked to get white noise back up alarms numerous times but our equipment is leased so we aren’t allowed to modify it.
Bill Fitzpatrick side note, I’ve been working around equipment my entire life, I’m so desensitized to the back up alarms, half the time I don’t even hear them anymore. It still registers that the equipment is in reverse but it’s weird that I don’t really hear the alarm much. Haha
@@ippielb , and that is exactly what operators said would happen when the damned gubmint stuck their damned nose in it and demanded those things in the first place. i was doing some work in a warehouse.when two forklifts , both running backwards, ran smack into each other. fortunately neither operator was hurt. but that sort of thing happens every day.
Bill Fitzpatrick when there’s multiple pieces of equipment operating in the same space that’s when it gets interesting. So many beepers going off hard to tell who’s going what direction
@@ippielb There was a sad event happened near here a few years back. a section us 202 was being rebuilt . about 12 vehicles were working in close proximity of each other. Some how, some way ,the guy flagging the mixers was run over by one of them. Sad day all around.
What are they talking about when they say corks?
North Dakota in the track pads they weld on or bolt on a cleat. For traction on ice. It’s basically like studded tires on your car but for tracks.
Iv never known snow equipment not to have a heay chain closeby
inter nazi we aren’t allowed to tow out equipment, liability. Especially heavy equipment like this, doesn’t take much for a chain to become lethal.
@@ippielb thats completely understood. I plowed in Metro Toronto for a few years and no shortage of situations were on deck
@7:20.
Whereabouts is this? What refinery is in the background
Coop Refinery in Regina Saskatchewan
@@ippielb wicked ! Thought it might be Edmonton
D6 it looks like
Yup I would totally agree. These dry land monsters are totally useless on ice. I have a tractor at my farm and I tell you I cant plow 10 lbs of sblw if there ice on the ground. You need 4 wd snow chains and sonetines pull yourself back with the front loader. Even my peugeot 405 is better on ice.
Michael T main thing with tired equipment is to keep it in a higher gear, that way it won’t spin the tires as easy. Once you spin you’re making the problem worse. Melts a thin layer of snow on the surface and compacts it and freezes into ice. Momentum is key.
In Glasgow Fossum Redimix has a Cat payloader with soft rubber tires, it is great on snow & ice. Steve said one day they worked it in the gravel pit, they lost 1” off of the diameter of the tires! He said that if you drive it 50 miles down the highway, you can see the wear on the tires! But it makes a great snow moving machine!
that is a rather small D8
Steve Sandstrom it is a 2006 waste handler D8T.
Yea thet loader operator didn't know what he was doing! LMAO
Paul Taylor first time for everything right? First time a guys gotten the d8 stuck on the ramp, and first time a loader guy had to dig him out too.
The wheel loader should have realized that after the first attempt that he needed to clear out more snow instead of wasting your time on this. Remove most of the snow and let the CAT slide down the ramp. Simple fix. It's useless when the CAT's rear wheels are up in the air.
Patrick Whelan eeeeaaa not alway useless bud I dig shot rock and the new cat loders at least my 986 shot rock is very light in the ass us wing break out power doesn’t always do the truck with a light tear end a little hop or tow with the rear end up give preload and pops out of digs through what ever was stopping me thanks
Need an 988B.. that does not hop around. Older and a little slower but a whole lot more machine to the game.
However sitting in it and running it from a creature comfort standpoint the 86 is a nicer house.
A bulldozer sliding down sounds rather dangerous.
Newby
How on earth if you a decent driver do you get it stuck
matthew lunn it’s easy on snow, you’d be surprised how that machine can slide sideways on the littlest slope.
@@ippielb I already know I drive a d12 bud. But if you got good drive he judges
D8 = earth / pistenbully = snow !!!!!!!!!
annette perroudon this was completely operator error. A pistenbully wouldn’t be able to handle the snow that this D8 has to manage. But it would be interesting to see a comparison for efficiency.
about as interesting as watching ice freeze....
Canfly Today you watching though lol
Cat operator is clueless.
why was that stupid so called dozer operator going paralel to the sloop when he should pushing up and stacking the snow
Municipality operator........
The Dozer operator can't be trying very hard if he can't get off the snow pile with the help of a loader
Can’t do much when you get high centred. Lol
Some much dumb going here
