Some pics of my current project

I can dig it....

 

[John C.]

Doesn't seem very big for a 1200 size machine. It appears to need lots of cooling capacity. That bucket is interesting. What good do the bottom pieces do for the digging process?

A question for the forum... Why is the tow loop painted black on one side with the other side yellow ?

 

[DMiller]

Black on Drivers side so can see it as hooks up?

Contrast to the hooked to unit Yellow hook and tail.

So the headlight doesn’t reflect back so badly when the bail is raised in low light operations ? Thinking about the cylinders on a grader and how they went from yellow to black or gray as time progressed.

I load 50 ton tucks in 3 passes. I don't know if that's good or bad but I usually have enough time to eat a sandwich or smoke a cigarette. The bucket has replaceable wear blocks. They extend the life of the bucket floor by wearing out first. Much easier and cheaper to replace instead of replacing the entire floor.

Finally working close to the house.
On a rental JD 1050J dozer.

Below is a link with details of the project.

This 1050 is a nice machine. However, I would not want to be the one wrenching on it.

Our companies in Russia don't buy these dozers. Are there any differences from Liebherr? Sorry for my ignorance

 

[Sanya_Promstal]

The pictures show warm weather and we had -28 Celsius. I'm jealous)))

 

[RollOver Pete]

I'm not sure?
It is hydrostatic and seems to run fine.....for now.

From the article:
“ With a membership proposed at just 50, and a daily maximum of just 25 people playing the course on any given day”

now that’s $$$$

Really? Actually has a Work lamp IN the engine compartment?

From the Menifee job.

Yep...
That could be good or bad.
Good if making life easier for the mechanic is what Deere had in mind..
Or bad if the mechanic is working day and night to keep the thing running...

Had to look twice, makes it easy to check oil before starting!

My Lamtrac came standard with at least 3 compartment lamps. If you're working year round in the northern bush with short days, it really makes sense. It's built in Canada and that's my guess for the reasoning. It also came with an Eberspacher pre-heater which is one of the greatest things ever for cold weather operations. The hydraulic oil heat exchanger is the best thing for getting to operational temps quickly.
