Growing up on our farms, we had alot of ponds dug for us by Carl Sloan and his 2 D8 Cats, my lil brother and I would get up early and trek the farm to were they were digging and watch them move mountains of dirt, especially cool when they would line up side by side and let the coal roll out those pipes moving a mountain, the sound of those old Cats was so awesome , the real treat when every once and awhile they would let us ride with them
When I was a 20 year old back in the early 80s I worked on a farm that was also clearing land. They had a fella come out with a low loader and what I thought I remember them calling his dozer a D12, could that be right? This thing was huge, the blade on the front and the rippers just ploughed through the Mallee like nothing. His set up was incredible, on his low loader he had everything he needed to keep it going, he said there wasn't anything he didn't have replacement parts for. He could also do the work himself plus the cocky I worked for was a qualified engineer and diesel mechanic. I think he charged $200 an hour in 1983
The Cat D11, powered by the Caterpillar 3408 V8 turbocharged diesel engine making a whopping 850 Hp. With twin exhaust stacks topped with 8 inch rain caps! Doesn’t get any cooler than that lol.
should have had josiah towing a set of harrows behind you to keep things tidy, keep up the good work, good to see you are so close to 50k, roll on 100k. i like the brad vlogs, he has a great way of explaining things as does phil to be fair.
Good work Matt. Most people probably don't realise these are not farm machines but made for working on rock and hard conditions. You can quickly get into bother doing what you did 😳
I saw a D8 end upside down in a gully just like the one behind you. He was stick raking in very tall grass and did not see the drop off and went over the side. luckily all ended well
I'd be in love sitting on that thing 10 hrs a day, 5 days a week.. ripping and pushing. The biggest dozer I've operated was a JD750 with hydrostatic tracks.. Kick one of the brake pedal to the floor and it spins on a dime.. Love a nice big or medium sized excavator too. I dug a nice pond once sitting in a rental D5.
Hi Team love the no nonsense approach, to may videos seem to take the long way round to get to the end. I can't stand that crap form the overseas videos. Keep up the good work.
I see you have a bit of KIWI blood in you with you doing some back bladeing HAHAHAHA i worked in the coal mines in QLD loved the D11 and 475 Komatsu dozers
youtube makes me angry sometimes. I subscribed to your channel two or three years ago and they unsubscribed me a few weeks later. I couldn't remember the name of the channel and it hadn't come up in my suggestions again until today. Nice to see y'all again.
Is there much of a 'Natural Sequence Farming' (NSF) movement in that area or is that done in places where there is more livestock farming rather than cropping?
It’s all natural sequence, it rains then you grow stuff. That’s the sequence. The other part of the natural sequence is money in sometimes equals money out. Jeff
Guys have a mate with heaps of D11 air , oil , fuel filters still in boxes plus other D11 stuff all this gear is brand new , respond if yr interested give away prices as he clearing out stuff .
Lol. I get a kick out of watching operators learn a new machine. Really it Is best to never make a hard turn with your dozer. You greatly increase the wear of tracks, idlers, rollers, and bogies. Plus with D9 and bigger you leave a track large enough you can not ride a 4 wheeler through. Also you never back blade D6 or larger. That is because of bolts on cutting edges and corner bits. You wear off the threads and nuts making them to hard to replace. Save your hardware. You will replace cutting edges often. Check front and rear idler bolts half days. They break easy.
@thejacksonbrothers back blading just damages the threads on the cutting edge bolts and then makes it harder to undo the bolts but the main thing is you didn't get bogged
you cut one side of the bank decently, could you have taken a moment and done the other side as well to make an alternative crossing for the neighbor???
@@thejacksonbrothers Thanks for your reply 👍✅ Side note; We have fool's in governments that are carrying out the tyrannical want electric dozers all please their bosses of The World Economic Forum.
That was hardly even a test for the big D11. BTW he called that spider on the floor "little". Only in Australia. Thats the size of the average pet dog over on this side of the ocean.

The only thing cooler than having a D11 is having 2 D11's.
They have 3, actually
@@gropping8008one was sold last year
@gropping8008 They have 2 D11's. Tiny 1 and Tiny 3. Tiny 2 was sold at the time Tiny 3 arrived. So no, they have 2.
R model can handle it .
😮
Your neighbours must appreciate having considerate, well mannered people as your family is farming next door to them. Good to see.
so grateful to the people who made these amazing machines
What a power house ! It would walk thru a house and not lose an RPM. Most incredible.
That bulldozer is massive, a monster D11, thankyou Sir
Great job Matt of planning and making the crossing, well done mate.👍
Hell ya!!!. Man what you can do with this Machine in 1 pass is Incredible.
I’ve never heard Huntsman spiders referred to as “little “! 😊 At least nobody can hear the screams over the sound of that Cat!
Enjoy watching you operate the big girls, Matt. We learn more from you than hours of the others. Thanks.

It is quite an adventure. Thanks for the ride along.
Tiny is a great name, love it! It would be cool to see one of these machines working!
The D11 is always fun to see in operation. 👍
This machine moves an insane amount of material especially if you get into a slot dozing situation it will just dig in and keep pushing love it

You mean 3508. The 3408 was quite a bit smaller 18L vs 34L of the 3508.
T models have the C32 ACERT in them now.
I enjoyed watching from America 🇺🇸 Missouri cool d11 mate
JD Looks n Walks like Rip Wheeler from Yellowstone !!! 🤠😃
Well, 800 horses will make a big mess..!! 😂😂
Great vid mate 👍
Thanks 👍
Love the sound of the V8 engines in the D11's
One monster of a machine….handled by a professional.
Like many others 99% wanted you to succeed in the crossing but the 1 % wanting too you fail and see Phil’s and Brad’s comments. Lol
😂😂
Feeling a little short changed, ideal opportunity to create content, 😂. Oh well nice to see the sun. Good job.
@@thejacksonbrothersI wonder if the company that sold you those dozers regret letting them go for the price you paid 😂
Great job running the D11 Matt
Thats some fine Kiwi blading at 9:40
Thanks again Matt for taking the time.
My god that engine sound. ❤❤😍
Thanks for sharing Matt always very interesting
That V8 has a beautiful thunder to it ❤
Brand new seat! Now, that's comfy, Matthew; nice.
lol with the 'don't send me" bit...aww
D11 music to my ears.

You done a good job there.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻
awesome video thank you so much.
Expected much more from this video . Just a bulldozer strolling in the park
I'd say you got lucky right there.
You can make a big mess... 😅 No you Matt can... Love ya mate. Keep up the great work.❤
Brings back memories! That could walk through anyplace you wanted to go but I under stand the damage to property
Bigger the better!
Legend has it, D11's dont walk.
The earth rotates under them as they turn their tracks. 😉
I drove to a mine to see the only D-12 one time and was let down to see that it was two D6 dosers side by side.😊
A big mess very quickly.... story of my life 😂
Mega!!!! My Lego D11 could do it too!!
Great video Matt
Wow great work 👍👍👍👍
Good work Matt. Most people probably don't realise these are not farm machines but made for working on rock and hard conditions. You can quickly get into bother doing what you did 😳
Turn the speed up to 2 on settings so this won't be so boring !.
Good afternoon from Texas
Great job Matt, you achieved what you set out to do.
Well that was fun for us all 😂
uhoh, you killed Phil's pet spider. That will cost you a carton :D
G'day great video Matt.
The bigger the dozer the bigger the hole! 😂🤣🤪👍👍
Great as always 👍👍
Good Toons !!!!!!!!!!

I really have no use for a D11, plus I live in a appartment but I want one
I see you have a bit of KIWI blood in you with you doing some back bladeing HAHAHAHA i worked in the coal mines in QLD loved the D11 and 475 Komatsu dozers
😂
Komatsu’s are a heap of 💩

Gonna wear it out driving it around.
I worked in the mountains of Colorado with a company making gas well drilling pads. Jim had 1 D11....and it did not care what was in front....
Started out on small dozers like a D9G and retired on a D9T. Never have the opportunity to run a 10 or 11.
I think this is what is used to create roads through porous lava flows in hawaii. I heard it’s like moving through thick glass.
Wish my K104 sounded that good...
D11 is a serious toy.
lovin mate
👊💪 BEST job in the World! Ill be contacting ya for a job. Can travel. Lol #Subscribed
How did you get to the other side in the first place? Why didn't you return the same way?
Glad my wife wasn't there with the Huntsman. She'd still be running......
😂😂
Worth there weight in gold
That is a big bulldozer
I just went out the back to check how many spare D11's I have.
Answer: 0
Kinda waiting for them to release the D12 before I start my collection.
😂
I would love to be turned loose in that thing for a bit.

😮😮😮😮
Love the videos I’m thinking of making RUclips videos about our 630acre family farm got any tips for it
Cheers! I’m no expert but the best thing to do is have a crack even if you don’t upload it straight away👍😁
To easy 😊
How did the men's toy get there? 😯🙄

Not sure why you would use such an incredibly large machine for this job. A D4 would probably be plenty
Do you have any D10 or D9 for sale?😊
👍🏼
The visibility from that cab sucks. Cat needs to put a cab on it like a modern ag tractor or combine has. Very good visibility from those machines.
Well done with the movement of Tiny 1 I doubt Phil or Brad could have done a better job of it.
Was it not possible to go into that direction from the very start and use the crossing which we can see on 12:29 ?
The crossing were the road is has a concrete base which is pretty narrow and we didn’t want to damage it👍
God bless the diesel engine
How many litres an hour does she use ?
Matt what's with the Kiwi final trim back blade and then drive forward to leave track marks to make it look like you did it pushing forward 😅
You learn the tricks as you go😂😂 I was pretty keen not to fall into it backwards
@thejacksonbrothers back blading just damages the threads on the cutting edge bolts and then makes it harder to undo the bolts but the main thing is you didn't get bogged
you cut one side of the bank decently, could you have taken a moment and done the other side as well to make an alternative crossing for the neighbor???
The normal crossing is a small concrete one which everything else can use, just didn’t want to bust it up with the d11!😂
Good job Matt , the less you disturb stream banks the better.IMOH
Is it wrong that I want one even though I only have .5 acres?
this is where it is?
if they wanted you to pull the dirt backwards they would have spun the blade around
How many litres per hour pushing a normal load ❓
On average it uses about 100-120litres an hour👍😁
@@thejacksonbrothers Thanks for your reply 👍✅

Must be able to see for miles when you stand on dads wallet 😂😂😂😂

So there is no one that can do service in field? That sounds like expensive shipping a machine to get it serviced.
It is being moved to another property and we will service it there, should be a video maybe this Saturday of us servicing it👍😁
I think that “causeway “ might be a local creek Matt 😂
Haha you do loose perspective 😂😂
