So you keep the steering clutches disengaged to get it to straighten out? Didn't think of that.
Where are the ROPS? I guess it is not in the US that video....
We had 2 Hough D-500's with full ballasted tires that would out push our DD9's for about 1 hour then the converter would over heat and we would park it on the dead line again. We even tried to use them to tow dead electric end dumps from the pit to the shop but not much luck. So DD9's weren't the most powerful but ran 24x5 pretty well.I really like the old d9's i own mostly cat machines i also have 21c and the 41b fiat allis just good old dozers.
I have a bunch of different test that compared the double dd9's to the performance of the 41b right down to a cost per yard 41b wins really lol its just in my books has from production of ripping to pushing scrapers etc.
