    That Bury pit did not look that big on the screen, un-till you see the D7 drive in to it then you visualise just how big it is. C&C did an amazing job on that Cat it has to be one of the best. Hardly any exhaust smoke when its working.

    Growing up we didn't have curbside garbage service until about the mid 70's in our county so all our household garbage was stored in a large wooden bin and then hauled down to the landfill by my father and older brothers. I tagged along one time and was thrilled to watch all the earthmovers dozers graders and water trucks in action all at once. The dozers were just like Chris's D7 besides the chrome exhaust fling. Those dozers have the strength of many bulls pushing the large piles of stinking trash down into the hole and then crawling back out to take another bite. That memory I had to share.

  • @clivehorridge
    @clivehorridge 10 месяцев назад +2

    Chris not only gets the best out his equipment, but that restored D7 will last his whole lifetime and more, the compassionate way he treats his machines.
    I’ve been in construction since leaving school in 1971, and still am.
    In my experience, some operators are unforgiving the way they treat the owner’s machines.
    This, and all these videos are a pleasure to watch - thanks Chris. ❤️🇷🇴

Now if only I could be there to smell the earth being turned over and the exhaust notes as that D7 works--that would be so great. Standing beside that beast would be amazing a s you feel the ground vibrate and rumble under the tremendous force being exerted around it.
