I worked on all kinds of earthmoving equipment, but nothing beats working with a bulldozer. 53 years ago I started with my first bulldozer, a Caterpillar D6B, serie 44A. Beautiful dozer with angle blade, winch, direct drive. Followed by D6C, D8H serie 22A, D8H serie 46A, D8K serie 77V. Never run a high track Cat. At the end of the 80's I became Technical and operational manager of all earthmoving equipment in the company. Retired 3 years ago, having great memories, operating a dozer. Nice video, thanks for sharing!
That is an awesome work history, thanks for sharing! My grandfather started his excavating business with an early CAT dozer and I have the utmost respect for those dozer operators that can make sites look perfect running an old machine with steering clutches and brakes; all while making it look easy. That is some true talent!
A good educational video. I have been operating dozers/scrapers/graders/loaders etc since I left school at 16, am 74 now and still doing it full time. Things have changed a bit since that video was made in the form of GPS machine control to make working to finish grades a lot easier and quicker and more accurate, but the basic fundamentals of moving dirt are still the same and that video was excellent in covering all of that. It should be compulsory viewing for all wannabe operators.
