I have been a viewer on RUclips of yours 4 years. And what I like the best is the old school engines in your vehicles letting them tell their story whether it's shifting grade up and down and letting the old school engines tell their story from startup to shutdown uninterrupted as they do their work. For knowing when to talk and when to let the equipment do their own talking thank you you are irreplaceable.
About 45 years ago I had a job that just kept getting bigger and I asked an old fart what to do. He said, "Son, you must gotta grow more ass than that job has teeth." I did. Job ended. I lived.
Got to love the low-RPM torque. Man, Idaho is spectacular -- my kinda country. Would love to see the first landing on this work of art. Will there be a turnaround at the top end? Can you show how you establish your 3% grade for the length of the runway? I am enjoying your videos immensely. That trucker needs some "Jeff repairs."
Jeff nice outdoor office you have there. The ground seems like it's doing a number on your equipment. Glad you and the mysterious trucker are talking to each other at least.
I had shoulder surgery last week. Watching you work your equipment seems to be therapeutic. 5 months and three weeks till recovery.....you better keep bidding work....I NEED CONTENT! 🤪🤪
@@MyOLD36chevy I’m one week post surgery and I call today to set up the PT schedule. I think day 10 is when the torture starts 🥺. Call me crazy but I kinda like that kind of pain...it feels productive...like stretching out tight muscles. ....ok maybe I’m a bit delirious 😬🤪👍

OMG That is some fantastic looking scenery Jeff. KillDozer to the rescue ... You know you got a big one when KillDozer announces ROCK! Which is often followed by an "Ouch" from the operator.

This was a good one. I did a lot of shovel leaning throughout it. I'll put my shovel away for now and wait for your next video. I'm looking forward to receiving the hat when I get home for the holiday. Thanks for the great content. God bless.
is the slope on the ft cut going to be wide enuf for the wings of a larger airplain to pass throue. i had a friend that had to jump a large cat dozer off a rail car , drive it 20 miles throue MARK TWAIN NAT'L FOREST in MISSOURI..to a dam that need repair. Forest rangers had to flag the 20 miles acress forest and privet land crossing hwy,s , creeks, and a river. roads to small and to low weight to hall in .
Very cool video Jeff ! I think you moved more dirt in this video than most will move in a lifetime. It’s nice you made a friend out of the trucker in the end. Keep it swinging.lol
If I had to guess, a rock would be considered a boulder when it's to heavy to pick up by human strength, marble size would be the size you can shoot like a marble.
Jeff great content today, all owner ops/ independents have been where that trucker was at. Trick is to get on that radio sooner than later . Have a great payday when the job is done and a no contact ride back to home base.
💪💪💪 OOOHHH JEFF - You surely DO have some "NICE AGATES" up in them thar HILLS 😱😱😱 "A MANS GOTTA KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS" 😎 "IT SEEMS YOU GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL" (EXCEPT SOME KRAZIE [ that thinks he's a trucker ] 😵}wha-wha-wha-wha-wha{🤪 Just can't get over anyone working in that environment 🤩 AWESOME VIDEO/ ESPECIALLY {no ads} thanks again Jeff. 🥃 👌😍😍😍😍😍👍🙏
You would have had a lot less work if the customer had a big tired slow flier, just clear the sage brush and done! An RV-10 though, seems like a poor choice of aircraft for that site. Then again, once he's up he will haul ass. I put in a big solar system not too far away a few years ago for a local rancher, fun to see the area on RUclips, know it well.
I have seen quite a few of the Utah drivers are always driving angry, or so it seems. No patience and always late for something i Guess. Just gotta show them some brotherly love. Haha
Ok Jeff don't leave us hanging, what was the piece of steel on the ground? I'm guessing one the cat's broke a toe nail. Thanks for the videos and stay safe. Great views, I hope that part wasn't too expensive.
I first 2 minutes reminded me of a cartoon where the background keeps repeating while they are driving. You have some really flat country right up until it isn’t!
@@Jpaydirt I’m going to have to put out my ignorance card. I didn’t realize there was a killdozer movie. I hope I can get a pass it only predates me by 18 years. On another point, I find it funny that that trucker that had passed you was complaining about overheating when you had the cruise set at 70.
Interesting geology. I would have expected more bedrock-ish material close to the surface rather than rounded stones like in a river bed. That's got to be pretty old ground. I'd love to hear from someone that actually has a clue, unlike me. Thanks for all the videos as always.
@@banffdigger Bingo. It's a glacial tossed salad. Much of the west was inundated by glacial-deposit action, apart from the uplift of the mountain ranges.

Yes, several different styles. None that I am aware of that would be good for digging rocks out! I have a pretty nice 13ft wide brush rake that I built that would separate the 10" + stuff pretty good. First 8" that you got hung up in it would deal you of plenty misery. 8" stumps are bad enough, I think rocks would tear it up.
Your mice problem !!! I had a custom five-year build 1951 Mercury. In the wintertime, I had to store it, and mice were the problem. Do not use decon, it attracts the verman. I used Irish Spring hand soap shaved down and place it on the floor of the car, it scared away the mice and kept the car smelling real good and mice free.

Listening to that 3406 talk sure does make me miss driving !!
G'day Jeff,
Really enjoying this job , thanks for the 45 mins ,the longer vids are a real treat .
Respect
from

Thanks for all the real time/real sound and the fantastic shots of the machines working. Best job ever!
That half moon shape sitting on the dirt is a Big Foot toe nail. He tried to kick one of them big boulders outta the ground. :)
What's better than NASCAR on a Sunday afternoon? Watching Jpaydirt and the Caterpillar family.
Maybe I've never seen him : rock the cradle and park on rock face on hill side then apply brake then side down hill side💔💔💔💔
@@dalewesley1662 LOL!!
I always cut them fellas from Utah some slack I can't imagine working hard all day then having to come home to all them angry wives 😅

Do those 24" minus fill come up in the frost? At least you don't have to truck in gravel or sod.
Ol' Kenny sounds good snorting up that hill!

Gee that 777 air liner in that valley well look good how many hunters can fit in that jet on that strip
Such a smooth operator on that 9! No slamming into the stinger and absolutely no friction between it and the blade for the entire push.
When the operator is also the mechanic.
Have you considdered or seen the, Rock Crushers that mount behind a Tractor, for busting up some of those rocks?.
I hope you brought extra cutting edges! I need to come explore that side of idaho
That's one hell of a commute, all in excess of 18 mph. God love ya buddy! Looks like a job for a 'scrader'!
Excellent video Jeff. I enjoy watching you work.

oo bad your don't have something like a farmers field rock picker setup to put on your 316?
Another great video in some beautiful country Jeff thanks!
Be interesting to know what they plan on landing up there
RV-10 he said in another video. Thus the length!
C.B Radio Therapist Dr. Paydiirt at your service 🤣
Amazing Jeff!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Looking good!
is the slope on the ft cut going to be wide enuf for the wings of a larger airplain to pass throue. i had a friend that had to jump a large cat dozer off a rail car , drive it 20 miles throue MARK TWAIN NAT'L FOREST in MISSOURI..to a dam that need repair.

His attitude changed once he realized you drove a truck.
Jeff working at that allitude does it affect the performance of the grader at all ?.
Well since it's turbocharged I didn't seem to notice a decrease in power but I'm sure it affects it some
Damn Jeff old Kenny sounds so good truely stirs the soul ,awesomely awesomeness in those pipes, cheers and beers from Aus🇦🇺
reminds me of my cow trucking days
Hi jeff the old timers said there was gold in them hills. Cat gold
Very cool video Jeff ! I think you moved more dirt in this video than most will move in a lifetime. It’s nice you made a friend out of the trucker in the end. Keep it swinging.lol
What do you get, about 2 gallons per mile with that blade facing forward?
Boulders roll off the end of the blade, this is how a runway is made!
I always learn something from your videos thanks Jeff
I still say that runway is going to have one solid base for landing planes. Remember, you eat and elephant, one bit at a time. 8-)
At what weight / size does a rock become a boulder please and how does a marble fit in with either?
If I had to guess, a rock would be considered a boulder when it's to heavy to pick up by human strength, marble size would be the size you can shoot like a marble.
Jeff great content today, all owner ops/ independents have been where that trucker was at. Trick is to get on that radio sooner than later . Have a great payday when the job is done and a no contact ride back to home base.
At least those rocks are of the round and smoother variety...
Hayyy Jeff could you have removed the jeep once you hit the dirt road to get past the switch back? Or is it to heavy for 6 axle's
To heavy
At the 5:30 mark is when I bitch about the plating on your blade, correct?😊
💪💪💪 OOOHHH JEFF - You surely DO have some "NICE AGATES" up in them thar HILLS 😱😱😱 "A MANS GOTTA KNOW HIS LIMITATIONS" 😎 "IT SEEMS YOU GOT EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL" (EXCEPT SOME KRAZIE [ that thinks he's a trucker ] 😵}wha-wha-wha-wha-wha{🤪 Just can't get over anyone working in that environment 🤩
AWESOME VIDEO/ ESPECIALLY {no ads} thanks again Jeff. 🥃 👌😍😍😍😍😍👍🙏
Did the rocks do damage to the scraper?
I Like the Elevator Music ! Nice Touch !
That material you are ripping Jeff would put a shine on your rippers lol
👍👍👍👍👍 and it takes all kinds 🤣🤣🤣 Boss Man! But at least ya made peace with the snapper! 😎
If that truck driver is having problems with overheating ask him to make sure the shower curtain is totally removed from his grill!
If you bury the rocks won’t they eventually come back up from freezing??
most people dont know it, but gravels roads require a lot more power to move a loaded truck over............about 20% more. Great scenery ))

JEEZ H Jeff the scraper an grader gonna need new edges after all them rocks n boulders wow
Little Sliver of an XR71 Blackbird?
At least it's not obsidian /shrug?
I want to see the trip down the pass creek side
Nice scenery to work in.
Poor Killdozer's walking around with a hole in its sock.
That is a great job!!
I'm curious, who your client is?? Tom Cruise? Harrison Ford???
Looks like a job for a excavator and a haul truck , And the grader is going to need a new cutting edge
alot of work and money for a run way and a trailer. hope they dont want a pond to. lol. cheers mate.
I have seen quite a few of the Utah drivers are always driving angry, or so it seems. No patience and always late for something i Guess. Just gotta show them some brotherly love. Haha
My dad used to yell at me when I pushed for I would forget to put the blade in float.
Ok Jeff don't leave us hanging, what was the piece of steel on the ground? I'm guessing one the cat's broke a toe nail. Thanks for the videos and stay safe. Great views, I hope that part wasn't too expensive.
look like edge off cat idler roller it still shiny or big foot toenail
Even Kenny having to work hard on this one. At least no rain. Utah man could join you maybe? Lol, thanks.
What kind of rock is that, Jeff?
Gotta love them cowboy truck drivers. He’s in a bad mood and looking for someone to bully. Makes perfect sense in today’s world.
I first 2 minutes reminded me of a cartoon where the background keeps repeating while they are driving.
You have some really flat country right up until it isn’t!
How in the world do you bid a job like this ???
Thanks for sharing Jeff 👍 😊
Dozer plays slow jams...why yes I'll dance..
A runway going through a cut is kinda stoopid…the wind will be all over the place.
Great video. Thanks for uploading it in 1 part . Try and kill them with kindness . People these days think that kindness is a weakness but it's not.
I’d say your maintenance schedule on your wear parts just got accelerated a bit. A lot, actually.
Is this really killdozer jay pay?
The og killdozer was a Komatsu.
@@SoLSamuraibloodblade nope, the original was a D9G in a B movie by the Sam name

Everybody gets to enjoy a bad day once in a while, sometimes the most you can hope for is to just keep it to yourself.
You Shoulda told him they have cream for that Irritation. He's from Visalia , enough said !
Grader hits immovable object with angled blade. Side ways shuffle Dont you just hate that when your having a sip of your coffee
Hi… What is the maximum amount of weight you can haul with that trailer?
60 tons
You just can't beat age and experience
You need a chain gain from the State Pen to break up the rocks for you. What? You mean they don't do that no more?!
Nice drive
Thanks for sharing
Have you noticed any loss of engine power in that higher elevation and thin air?
Lots more smoke 🚬 🤪
less air means running too rich and more smoke, and probably little less power
why were the rippers ran at different depths?
10 minute mark he explains them. Most dozers this size use a single ripper anyways

@@kennethdailey7660 I think I've watched some of his videos. Thanks for the reply.
Nasty stuff. Reminds me of the junk we had in New England. All glacial till. Beat up machines something terrible.
for the price of that runway they could have bought a used or military surplus helicopter
I do hope you are charging the customer a premium because of both the geology and topography.
Beautifull landscape
Jeff what the hell is that hole in Kill Dozers blade from ?
Just wear
The blade has a hole because it was used too much when it was new !!!
Can you talk about geology and those rocks? They look grounded and round. How, when?
Could be glaciers that rounded them. Hard to say but they don't look smooth and river rounded...
@@markgreen7701 You guessed it. Glacial till is what they call it.
I know exactly what that half moon is. It’s money. Your money!!!
Is there such a thing as a root rake for a D9 ?
