My father made roads like this in the Canadian Rocky Mountains before he retired. He called it "playing in the mountains". I think I'll show him this video tomorrow, from his hospital bed. He's 87 years old and this will bring back fond memories. Thank you!
We all know a lot of our white hairs came from building these roads. You always hoped creeping the canyon side track in reverse would grab hold of enough soil to get your dozer straightened out.
I had a friend that had a D4 that let me operate it when I was 23. That was 48 years ago. I can tell you it is more fun to operate than watch someone operate. Merry Christmas to you and yours.
used watch my grandfather build logging roads in the 70's and 80's as a kid in the Sykiyou Mountians in southern Oregon. He drove at the time either a D8H or a 8K with a winch and logging arch. this brings back so many memories and stories he told me. I am lucky I have a video of his old logging company pulling logs out in the 50's rand TD18's then and used mack and surplus 2.5 ton trucks as log trucks. good video and keep more coming.
Very good work especially by cameraman. Loved seeing the rippers do their thing in unexpected rock on a dirt sandy slope. Saw that you are in Turkey. Wish your country would take Earthquake construction seriously and not let contractors cheapen the work. Cheers and keep on skidding.
Hello friend, thank you for your comments on the earthquake, you know when money talks, the truth always remains silent. Love from Turkey to you and your beautiful country, happy Christmas
This is so cool to watch. I never comprehended exactly how it was done and the skill and technique it takes to do this the right way. The operator is an artist with his dozer.
OOOOU WHAT A sensitive HUMAN BEING...WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVING ON A DANGEROUS ROAD... IF THIS OPERATOR DONT DO THIS JOB??? NO SENSITIVE THERE...JUST FOR THE FISH...
Hey Billie Bob, how's the new house coming along. Great. Moved in last week. How much did it cost you. Oh, $2M. Wow, that must have been a big house...no, only 1200 sq ft...it was the driveway - $1.75M. Great video...sub and thumbs up. 🙂
Greetings from Vancouver Island British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦 Starting building road for Macmillan Bloedel in 1980 with D8s loved every minute we used angle blades as well as ublades when we had to carry the fill long distances
@ Thanks Greyder, yes Vancouver Island is a beautiful place to live. Lots of beautiful places to see in Türkiye as well. But more importantly are the wonderful people there.i worked 15 years building road for M&B then ended up working for a large crushing company here on the island.Have a wonderful day my friend
This is awesome man, i make equipment videos from work, im a laborer but love watching the equipment operate every day. Something about it is just so satisfying
@@Greyder_mehmet Merry Christmas. The area you are working here, it could easily be mistaken for any part of Shasta County, Trinity County, Sonoma County, or many other counties in Northern California USA.
Awesome footage. Looks like the mountains of Eastern OR, where I growed up. Same stands of Ponderosa, & doug / white fir. & the soil looks same volcanic / meta make up. Love this look at road building old school. Ok, read the full header. Remarkably similar terrain as pointed out by other P N W residents. Cat skinning pretty similar all over the world.
Great Video my friend. Having pioneered many a fire road in the forests in southern California, we found a 988 loader with ripper shanks on the rear to be a more productive. Maybe you might be able to try this out in the future. Of course, the amount of rock is also a consideration. Be safe!
My friend, the roads you have seen are not completely filled. To give an example, 3 meters of a 6-meter wide road is filled, but as you mentioned, there are no abnormal settlements or slips.
I’d be this guy’s oiler, spotter, mechanic. Hands down it’s a piece of art that he makes. Question. Do the make rear facing ripper teeth? Seems like a good application.
Good idea don’t know if anyone else has thought of that. Think about it maybe a great idea. A buck tooth is useful but has disadvantages. It Surprises me how many people don’t know what a buck tooth is probably can’t google it 🌲
What are you opening up for here? Looks like a logging road to me😂 I had no idea so much road building was going on. I suppose looking at the hillside in the background this is for some sort of mining / ore access.

Just a question, Im not sure how far you are into the mountains, but when you need fuel does it come to you like a tank truck or do you go back to where the fuel is stored.
@@Agwings1960 building road the cat needs fuel every 10 or 12 hours probably a 100 gallon tank in a pickup driven right to the machine (don’t know how many liters that is )
In victoria Australia there is a network of roads and tracks created 150 years ago for bullock drays.The network covers all the remote mountainous regions and is often the basis for the modern road network, fire trails and walking trails. This network still exists and generally in very good condition using the lost bush art of building roads in remote areas. These doser drivers follow the same formula. At home they would always be looking for the remains of these tracks as a starting point.
With zero experience, I cut in a 1/4 mile long trail thru trees on a steep side slope, using a new to me mini excavator. It was kind of obvious what needed to be done, I never had a dangerous or scary moment, the trail came out great. Maybe being a fulltime crane operator helped a bit.
Good Ole C-Frame tractor. We have a good size fleet of them and unfortunately, we can only get them out to pipeline contractors because everyone only wants a P.A.T or Semi-U.
The sacred machines for us are mechanical machines that are not electronic and do not cause any problems, my friend, the service network is problematic here.

pioneering roads!
I'm 76 and my D8 and I built miles of cut and fill roads like this in the Rockies.
Hello my dear friend, I have endless respect for your father. I hope he gets well. I wish you all a Merry Christmas.
Hello sir, you seem to have missed me, maybe you loved your job, I wish you a happy Christmas.

This is where the equipment matches the skill of the operator! Can’t have a bad day operating one of these, it would be unforgiving. Good filming!

Are you openly casting cut into what might be a fish bearing stream?
Give it a break
The fish will figure out how to deal with it. They've been at it for millions of years without your help.
yes man but there are no fish
OOOOU WHAT A sensitive HUMAN BEING...WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVING ON A DANGEROUS ROAD... IF THIS OPERATOR DONT DO THIS JOB??? NO SENSITIVE THERE...JUST FOR THE FISH...
It's better for the fire crews to not have road access and let the forest burn down then to get some rocks and soil into that creek!
Hey Billie Bob, how's the new house coming along. Great. Moved in last week. How much did it cost you. Oh, $2M. Wow, that must have been a big house...no, only 1200 sq ft...it was the driveway - $1.75M. Great video...sub and thumbs up. 🙂
Hey buddy, thank you for liking it, also thank you for the explanation ;)
Questo operatore è un gran Maestro.
sicuramente grazie amico mio
Wonderful , unique video. As an old retired operator, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Hello, thank you for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed it.
How Does a Caterpillar..... it goes diggy, diggy, diggy, diggy, diggy.......with skilled hands driving it ! Happy New Year !!!
Happy new year my friend greetings
Respect to that operator. He could get in a bad way very easily. That is what experience looks like . Camera man doing great too .
Hello friend, thank you, greetings :)
Mesmerizing to watch, dangerous af, but the operator is very skilled.
thank you sir, glad you liked it
If I didn't read the description I would have thought this was a few miles from home on the east slopes of the Cascade's in Washington state.
It looks very similar, my friend, the earth is similar everywhere.
Is it that similar my friend :), I wish you a happy Christmas
Exactly what I thought, Leavenworth, Plain, Derby Canyon, Wenatchee, Fish Lake area!
@strongdelusion9442 we must be neighbors. Plain here.
@@stevenbernier4206 I spent my life running all over that area, Chelan too, my family had property there! Hunting, fishing, dirt bikes etc etc.
This is what I need in WV to improve my farm road.

Hello friend, the shots are completely natural, this may be because you see new styles, happy new year.
Skillfully done. Must be terrifying moments.
Yes my friend, even though it was difficult, we did it.
Beautiful area, I could have sworn this is Northern California. Thanks for sharing!

@@Greyder_mehmet Merry Christmas. The area you are working here, it could easily be mistaken for any part of Shasta County, Trinity County, Sonoma County, or many other counties in Northern California USA.

We are working on a different project to widen the road, we will consider this.
Looks just like Oregon in the US. Do the roads suffer from drainage or erosion issues?
Hello friend, unfortunately there is. I wish you a merry christmas
Some of the 40’s and 50’s road building like this made for some awesome dirt bike trails today
Yes my friend, It's nice to know that they serve a purpose even today.
What prevents the dirt moved downhill from sliding further downhill then the road is used by the logging trucks?
My friend, the roads you have seen are not completely filled. To give an example, 3 meters of a 6-meter wide road is filled, but as you mentioned, there are no abnormal settlements or slips.
Very skilled operator and a set of balls made of steel! God Speed!
Hello my dear friend, thank you for your compliments :) Merry Christmas

My dad has operated a cat forestry dozer for over 40 years. Great skill to learn and great money
yeah dude you should be proud of your dad
Next time take us for a ride down the new road!
Of course I will do this my friend
8.5 years of college...my summer job for that time was running a D7. Good video.😀

Hello friend, roads are built to prevent forest fires and other forest activities.
Nice view, looks fun but I'd probably prefer an excavator with a blade for that part of the road
Thank you, I'm glad you like it, the excavator cuts slopes in the back, remote areas where the bulldozer cannot reach.
Who determines the path of the road, the Bulldozer Driver or a Surveryor?
Of course, the map determines the team, my friend, then the construction machines are transferred and they start working.
А скалы, которые будут крушить, скоро будут 😅😅😅
камни всегда дробятся, их разбивает бульдозер
Pretty gutsy stuff! I always wondered about this process and now I know. Thanks

Merry Christmas to you and yours also!
Just a question, Im not sure how far you are into the mountains, but when you need fuel does it come to you like a tank truck or do you go back to where the fuel is stored.
Hello friend, fuel is refueled by tanker daily.
@@Agwings1960 building road the cat needs fuel every 10 or 12 hours probably a 100 gallon tank in a pickup driven right to the machine (don’t know how many liters that is )

Hello friend, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, there were a lot of viewers who liked it. Merry Christmas.
Sure as hell isn’t California!! It’d take 30 years for a permit!! And the creek below? Just forget about it!
Half an hour to make about 20 meters of road. That's a tough grind.
Paid by the hour.
Things are always hard for us, my friend.
Great work, great video, thanks!
You're welcome, Merry Christmas.
Amazing how similar this part of Turkey looks to parts of the Cascades, Siskiyous, Ochocos and Blue Mountains of Oregon!
Hello friend, yes, it is very similar to the places you mentioned, I received the same comments from other viewers, I wish you a happy Christmas.

Cool stuff and the Ripping is cool because there is always Rock in the way !

How far in a day?
Hello friend, if the conditions are good, up to 2 km can be done.
I will buy CAT D7R next year
D7E CATERPILLAR bollduzer, is the best bollduzer,
I hope you buy it my friend, it's a nice machine, it's the right choice.

Hello friend, you are obviously a creative person :) Merry Christmas
Always seemed to me that a 30 or 40 ton excavator would do be more effecient at this type of work
You are right my friend, the excavator is cutting high slopes in the back, our dozer is forced to move forward in order not to be idle.
@Greyder_mehmet well you definitely get extra points for bravery 🤣
Must always be aware of the edge. Great job
Sometimes you gotta piss with the dick you got...
Do you know what an excavator is?
The sheer power of that dozer is amazing.

Hello friend, the terrain is very steep, it takes time to move forward, Merry Christmas.
Just as I figured....that aint a cliff just a hillside.

@@Greyder_mehmet Hell no no for me and my little machine even.
I've always wondered how often they have to change the brakes when turning that much.
Man this would be hard to observe :)
If the operator knows what he is doing pretty much never wear out brakes. If he rides them a few months
