Cat 953C Doing What It Does Best!

Leveling out in front of a shop pad I built five years ago. The ground was so hard it broke the muffler flange loose. Now I have to take it back off and weld it. Oh well, the job is ready for some gravel now!

Thanks buddy!

I think it’s safe to say that most people couldn’t grade that well with a track loader. Good job

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks! Me and this ole girl have over 5k hours together. I'm just kind of along for the ride....😁

Thanks for posting and stay safe out there. I appreciate your videos.

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks, you too!

[@willardnicholson8026]

Good to see the 953 back in action great video buddy 👍

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks Willard! 👍

953 comes thru again, the soil looks to be a lot dryer than your pads you were grading out for the green houses. Thanks for the video, enjoyed watching. Going to look nice when you get the finish grade completed.

Thanks Terry!

You always make it look better.

Thanks Brent!

Thanks for posting the video. That hard rubble material makes the 953 work but seems to trim down ok. It will be a good building site I reckon. Your new laser looks great as well. Catch you on the next one mate, cheers .

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks buddy! Yeah it beat the crap out of the 53 and me as well!

[@sonnyblazer5504]

Hmmm ! Saw his backhoe out back; did it move there on its own in fear of seeing the *953C* ! The progression did NOT look as if you dug so deep but walking it shows WOW! You moved a lot of soil (hard pack at that) with equipment you own to get the job done! Thanks for taking us along! (Watch you on the next one!)

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks Sonny!

[@pjs5191]

Looking good. This is the same job that was on instagram today if I’m not mistaken. Love the track loader vids

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Yes, thanks!

[@rafidishak7801]

Track loader would do a dozer do to some extent but not that efficient .of course it depends who is operating as well...
Job well done and good luck.

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Thanks! Is a loader going to grade as well as a dozer? Not quite but close in the right hands.

[@dirtguy6537]

You can take a 953 or963 and do the job of a trackhoe dozer skidsteer it is harder to get use to but once you do you'll kick yourself in the butt 1 machine instead of 3.

[@Dirtdaddy953]

Yep, it takes a while. I have over 5k hours on this machine alone not to mention the others I've owned. Just seat time. I agree, very versatile machine and it keeps you from hauling a bunch of machines around. Thanks!
