Just wanna say a huge thanks ,I passed my test 19.06.2021 and gotta say watching your videos, tips and tricks were a huge help . Keep up the great work.
l did and passed my civil construction course in Australia, my trainers were impressed with my dedication, the dozer was what l was apprehensive about, this vid was part of my course, l love it.
Never solely rely on the onboard computer. I know some machines computers have given false information (ie. Fuel level, Hydraulic Fluid,etc) ALWAYS VISUALLY INSPECT ALL FLUID LEVELS
I have been spending a lot of shillings on data to surf the internet for years. You have just showed me the real value of RUclips! In my country, coming across a bulldozer, etc is a privilege, getting chance how to drive one is almost a miracle! I'm glad to have the chance to learn how to operate one here! Keep it up. I'd have to pay through the nose to have someone train me like you do!
Hi Guys, Excellent video. All good. 1) Float function can be utilised for forward pushing when clearing scrub and trees. When you are on moderately hard ground pushing scrub, bush and trees, the float function can assist in creating a large rolling pile of sticks and logs without the weight of it digging into the ground. In short, float forward in thick / heavy bush where there is enough small pieces passing under the blade preventing digging in. 2) As for back-blading. That's fine. The most wear is on the cutting edge and bolts and they are very hard. It's not a problem. As a part of working a dozer, back-blading is probably less than 1% of the work. 3) When both tracks turn opposite to each other it's called "track counter rotation". As was stated in this video, it's best to not make a lot of acute manoeuvres. Sometimes you have to but a good operator will make slow gradual turns to prevent leaving bomb craters everywhere. Less wear and less work is good. 4) The greatest tip I can recommend to any new operator is to control the blade. Know where it is and adjust sparingly. If you are constantly creating trenches, corrugations and wash boards then you're adjusting too much and most likely trying to push too much material too quickly. Gradual in, gradual out. Whilst the greatest efficiency is with a full blade, don't try to get that full blade right at the start of a pass. Gradual in, gradual out. Watch the blade and don't jerk on the control. When you get experienced you realise how little you touch the blade control. This is a good presentation with the operator being humble, non-assuming and self deprecating. Good work. Valuable for the learner and the experienced operator. Thanks :-)
Love the channel, been watching since the beginning. I learned on D8s in the Navy Seabees these are great tips to start . I'd love to see a video on Scrapers . I trained on a CAT 621g , love those machines .
Thank you because of your video I learned a lot and now i am now a heavy equipment operator. I use to operate the excavator I never thought that this is that hard to operate. and i love it aside of its easy job it has a good pay also. its my first time to do this kind of job, most of my previous job are inline in the food and beverage.
I used to run a Volvo L110 loader a lot, and loved it! Did a little bit of a track hoe too. I miss doing it. You did a great job in the video. Makes me want to get back into it, just don’t want to travel for work anymore.
@@Michael-rr1em Look for a school or company locally that can teach you. Or apply for a job with a excavation or land clearing company, You will have to start out as a laborer or shop helper and work your way up. Find a job with a company that has Heavy equipment, work hard, and show your employer you want to learn. But most of all be patient and it will come. 👍😎
question ... is there a blade setting or joystick movement that will automatically level the blade horizontally with the dozer body, sort of a default blade setting, that will give you the best material leveling without trying to eyeball or guess how level either your grading is or your material is being laid? thank you
thanks for the video I restored a john deere 440 and have been using it around the farm, the six wat blade is awesome. All of the tips you give on modern dozers hold true to the old stuff too. Im getting better at final grading, sometmes It feels that I dont have enough hands for the levers etc. Lots of fun though and Im always cognizant f the fact that I have no rops. Real careful on slopes
hello, I am a beginner machinery driver, I am currently driving a 2021 komatsu pw 118 MR wheel excavator, I love komatsu, the interior and the modern equipment such as camera and electronic sensors, thank you very much, I know, now also drive a bulldozer :)
Nice advice that you can't watch and learn from this but I got some very nice advice that I can use once I am inside my machine,thanks for every bit of information you teach here
I have a job interview coming up to be a bulldozer and I don't have any experience but after watching this I'm way more confident now cause I lied and said I did 😅
Man this guy does not stop yapping. GET TO THR POINT GOD DAMN. HE WANTS YOU TO CALL YOUR MOTHER, CHECK THE WHEATHER FORCAST ECT BEFORE HE EVEN SHOWS YOU HOW TO RUN THE MACHINE GOD DAMN
No help showing me all your computerized gadgets, I was hoping for pro methods of leveling and shaping soil in an old school 70's John Deere 450. We have virtually none of the things your dozer has.
I am going to move from tractor and box blade to a Cat D3G XL. Road mx and some clearing paths through brush. Big question is what do you do to deal with pushed material? Do you require a bucket to clean up the pushed material?
My name is Narsh Emmanuel from Ghana, I will like to ask you that do you also teach about knowing how to operate 777D DUMP TRUCKS USE AT MINING SITE, Because all your reached equipment look like heavy duty dump trucks equipment not part of your teaching machine, please add to it or bring on board how to lean how to operate this 777D minning dump trucks manhines, thank you
You are a very good teacher, i can speak english a little bit and i understand a lot of things you have though me. I have my diploma and I can maneuver heavy machinery but not work ,could you help me please🙏🏾?
I always watch your videos from a small village of Iran your explanations are very useful and amazing for us but because you speak very quickly we can't understand what you say completely. I wonder if you would speak and explain slowly 🙏🌹🍷
Yes, I’ve heard that before...I’ll see if I can. We were looking at adding transcriptions to the videos so wonder if that would help if you had the text on the screen?
Great video, thank you. Do you think as machines continuously modernize we will start seeing blade and ripper control being combined onto one joystick to minimalize the amount of joysticks in the cockpit? Or is there a user case scenario where this could be inefficient or dangerous, thanks
When I was a kid a friend started a dozer with a pocket knife. It ended up tracking off site across the road and stopping lodged in the corner of someone's front room.. Not funny but funny memories😊
My new to me backhoe has a 4-1 bucket which allows me to do dozer like operations - area I'm not familiar with, so thanks for this vid. I'll check out 201. Seat belts rock (unless youre an old guy who runs a combine haha..just kidding. Learn to fly an airplane and you'll love them like Linus loves his blanket).
Great Video, Thanks for sharing. When I was in the SeaBee's we had an old D-5 with twin sticks to turn the dozer. SAFETY: The Bee's showed a dozer they had & they tipped it over on purpose to show us that the roll cage will protect you. If you know you're going over, ground all attachments & enjoy the ride. Cool Down: We used to have to let them idle for a couple of min.'s before we shut it down. My how times have changed.
One thing I never understood is why would you make an academy specifically for CDL and heavy machine operating certifications when jobs can offered it Granite you do get your CDL through a company or school but operating equipment that is simple and easy to teach someone that's crazy I wanna learn the excavator and bulldozer but all I'm seeing is schools for it
Man is doing a great job. Being a young operator since 2018 back dragging for finish gets rid of track marks. Every operation has its use. If you finish pushing forward, do better.
Seat time is great....if a company will take the time to train you, which most don’t want to. They complain about being short operators but don’t give people a chance to learn. I have my HEO ticket and lots of experience with loaders and graders but can never get dozer or hoe time. Only way to get on one is to lie about it it would seem.
I learned on the d-37 and d39 and komatsu machines..... I run a bunch of old antiquated junk mail and nothing compares and nothing will make you a better operator than a better piece of equipment...👍
Interesting video. Always wondered how the big dozers worked. Have a stupid question, why did you need permits? Isn't this your private property and on top of a hill? Curious what a permit costs? Thanks again.
Wow I just learned something that surprised me I was clearing snow on the ROW with a 6way D6 and was told to just use float mode forward this guy saying to never ever do that I wonder why though it work out
2:40 you should also wear a seat belt due to the fact if health and safety comes by a commercial or industrial site your not gonna have fun. always use the safety devices in place in equipment
Blade is very similar to snow cat except snow cat has 12 way blade with blade wings and curl been in snow cats for 2 years now my favorite thing to operate
You are a fantastic tutor, I like the way you keep it simple and not turn everything into rocket science. Great video!!
Hi. I love these machines. Never operated them. But want to. It's like going to school watching the teacher show us how to operate it
Where are y’all located
thank for not yelling at us
Just wanna say a huge thanks ,I passed my test 19.06.2021 and gotta say watching your videos, tips and tricks were a huge help . Keep up the great work.
What test did you take? And what kind of questions was on it? How long did it take? How many questions was asked? How much did it cost to do the test?
It’s better if you gave us a brief of that test😎
l did and passed my civil construction course in Australia, my trainers were impressed with my dedication, the dozer was what l was apprehensive about, this vid was part of my course, l love it.
Could you help me
At "test"? 😂
Keep educating us, keep all the good work and thanks for keeping it simple

Desperately want to learn the basics so that I can build my own farm pond. THIS IS SO VERY HELPFUL!!! Thank You
I am here for the same reason
I work in a construction company on those machines and your videos help me alot. Thank you so much! Keep up the good work!

Much respect for the Seabees 😎
your videos showing a clear info on how to operate..thank you sir ure such a great tutor
That's a good teaching
Thank you! 😃
Just about to say that 😂
Great video, I'm brand new (just bought the new CAT D3) so I'm excited to implement some of your teachings :)
Is that a 299 D3? Skid steer?
That is my first time seeing a dozer like that I did heavy equipment in the Army but we had right and left pull levers
Yeah...that’s old school!
For how long?
I'm also a 12N

Been driving these operation machine ( like dozer, JCB , pickup truck etc..)
I really like your channel. Learned so much and still learning
Boy, these dozers sure are nice compared to my TD 14 and 18, old 50s era dozers, has start engines, low compression, just really bad compared to that

Thanks for the comment!
I'm learning a lot...Thanks big guy💯
Simple and straightforward, I feel like I can drive one
you are a good instructor , I am highly appreciated the simple way you teaching us for every step we are doing thank you again
Thanks for the video
Thanks man, very helpful...
Wanting to rent a dozer for a month to clear some paths in our woods and reshape a field. This was very helpful. Thanks.
Enjoyed the video! Great instructor - thorough, well organized, well presented. Thank you 🙏
Hi. It's very good beginners video for showing the machine controls and everything
is 59 too old to start learning?
Never too old!
Im doing a course at the end of the month Im 58 and looking at a mining job.
No never to old. 👍
i know a guy that was a good carpenter that retrained as a lawyer at 60
Beautiful job and nice training thank you for video
Thank you too!
Thanks my friend, nice video👍👍
Thanks for the comment!
@@HeavyMetalLearning ,👍
Watching this while pooping right now. 100% focus even though I don't and never will operate a dozer lol.
I have a job interview coming up to be a bulldozer and I don't have any experience but after watching this I'm way more confident now cause I lied and said I did 😅
Lol, how did the interview go?
Come on tell us 😂😂
Man this guy does not stop yapping. GET TO THR POINT GOD DAMN. HE WANTS YOU TO CALL YOUR MOTHER, CHECK THE WHEATHER FORCAST ECT BEFORE HE EVEN SHOWS YOU HOW TO RUN THE MACHINE GOD DAMN

Looking to learn how to efficiently operate an almost 50year old Hanomag k7 B that my friend bought sight unseen from auction in Norway
Gosh how different from when I learned dozer work many years ago on a cat D7E. No sticks, brakes or gears?😲😲
I say a huge thanks to you, for giving me the best knowledge over Bulldozer.
Turn your seat sideways and you’ll see more. I hate the camera.. 🤷🏼♂️
thanks for this tutorial! now i can go mess with the dozer i saw with a key in it knowing what to do so i dont hurt anybody/lose control 🎉
When I was a kid a friend started a dozer with a pocket knife. It ended up tracking off site across the road and stopping lodged in the corner of someone's front room.. Not funny but funny memories😊
I'm from East Africa Tanzania ihave nothing to say More life teacher master
I am dozar operator I have experience later Saudi Arabia I am this time USA I need job
On the old school dozer, when do you use the governor? And does the governor need to be released b4 going or moving forward?
I have to go try and run a dozer for the first time in my life for a new job lol wish me luck 😂😂😂
How much to do a dozer licence? + how many days to did it
My new to me backhoe has a 4-1 bucket which allows me to do dozer like operations - area I'm not familiar with, so thanks for this vid. I'll check out 201. Seat belts rock (unless youre an old guy who runs a combine haha..just kidding. Learn to fly an airplane and you'll love them like Linus loves his blanket).
thanks for the comment! YES on seatbelts!
Thank you so much for your videos. They are very helpful.
You’re welcome...thanks for the comment!
Mmm komatsu 61. Awesome machine.
It sure is!
am going to pass my interview thankfully
Great explanations, Thankyou :-)
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome safety training video
Thank for your training Sir,I really appreciate you a lot.
Hello can I get all instructions in theory? Coz I would really like to be part of this pliz
No idea what that even means.
How much to operate a bulldozer and how many days to do it
Give me your app nmber

Thanks for the comment!
That's wonderful! Thanks
50 years ago my BTD 20 never had a seatbelt.
I got a tryout in a couple days wish me luck
I ran D-11 for on and off for 43 years. You have no idea

I'm very happy for this study buildozer thanks you so much I'm keeping watching more than in everything
Side note: The theme music is... 🤌🙏
I have difficulty getting into a bulldozer bc I have cerebral palsy.
I mean, once I'm in the cab, I'm fine.
Just getting into the bulldozer is hard,
Keep talking,for beginners! Can't just jump in and go!!??? If that guy is experience d why he watching,????

The thing about old school machines is that they are way more solid and bullet proof vs the modern techy equipment plus way easier to work on.
Because of computers
Excellent video, thanks very much.
You are welcome!
Blade is very similar to snow cat except snow cat has 12 way blade with blade wings and curl been in snow cats for 2 years now my favorite thing to operate
Don't touch exhaust
Sir good day can i drive actual someday we meet and im starting practice how much per hour sir
