    your preffered blade

    I would think alot of what you say depends on the soil rather than the operator.. this thread should realy be titled whats your favorite application and what type of dozer do you like to use for it?.. I prefer runing a 30k lb PAT dozer and finishing anyday to running an 11. I was at a gyp...

    Most people dont mention if they were on a standard track, XL or XW or LGP when talking about slope work

    D6R v/s 750J

    They claim the torque converter and powershift only has an advantage right at stall. I dunno??? was pushing up material one day at a sand pit with a D6N and a 750j side by side. they were pretty comparable in the cut but when we started to climb the 750 seemed to lose a little steam.

    I will bet money it will rip that rock up!! you may have to rip it only a centimeter at a time and you might have to make 5 million passes and you might have to buy 10k ripper tips but I know with out a doubt in my heart she will do the job.....................eventually!! lol

    Bubble in the butt

    I've done all types of dozer work so let me clarify "while working in a GPS friendly application, it will improve all operators productivity regardless of skill level!" building random cut and fill pads with a relative elevation for residential housing may be a little harder to apply GPS...

    Temp. issues- cat D3G

    I used to run a Pad crew of 4 D5Gs, washing the radiators out was a painstaking process. you need to pull the grill off and be very carefull not to bend the fins and wash it and wash it and wash it.... when you think you have it clean then keep washing some more.. I think the cores are...

    D6R v/s 750J

    there is more than one way to skin a CAT, and thier is more than one way to work a slope. you dont always have to work parallel with the toe unless maybe you are finishing slopes along a highway construction project. The point is for about 95% of the normal daily tasks of these dozers a D6R...

    You talking about a hand level??? whats with everyone getting thier panties in a wad about Union Non-union stuff anyway?? Im new here but just from the little time I've been here it looks like this place is full of drama queens?? IMHO GPS will make all operators better, it will make a...

    D6R v/s 750J

    unless you work in a swampy area stay the hell away from LGP.. wider track means more leverage being imposed on the rails which means more twisting, dry joints and short undercarraige life especially on hard rough terrain.

    Cat D4 xl (1999 model) help needed

    D6R v/s 750J

    the cat does have hydrostatic steering in a sense, the D6R uses the implement pump to run a hydraulic motor that has has pinion gear that is attached to a ring gear that is attached to a differential component that steers the machine by speedig up one track up to 50% faster than the other...

    Pond diggin photos

    you always have to consider evaporation rate when building a custom pond. the deeper the hole and less exposed surface the less it will evaporate. we like to atleast get a depth of 8' in our ponds.

    D6R v/s 750J

    Those are two different classes of machines. the deere is more comparable to a D6M or N model. ones hydrostatic and one has a torque conveter and a powershift transmission with a differential steer motor. Your going to get alot more work done with a 6R due just to size and power. check the...

    Motor-Grading Techniques

    7. When straight framed and you get near the end of the pass you can articulate the tail towards the windrow and counter steer and it will leave your windrow in a perfect line and also (ENDS) the windrow as you bring the blade around in line with the windrow. Makes a very pretty windrow. Im...

    centering on 140M steering

    If you need constant corrections to your steering than your articulation sensor was never calibrated properly. Have your dealer do this and make sure they do it while driving the machine. that is the only true way you can calibrate it properly. 1 degree out of calibartion is a half of a tire...
