KMC Bracke Mounder Working the Tundra
In 2022 Cenovus Energy commissioned KMC Kootrac to build a speciaty vehicle capable of working in Alberta`s Tundra. This unit had to have a ground pressure of no more than 4 psi. The human foot has 7 psi.
This was required as the soils in the tundra are so soft, heavy equipment sinks and cannot work in this muck. KMC took the challenge and produced a machine that exceeded everyone`s expectations.

High strength, cast steel track pads connected with rubber bushed steel pins permits track flexibility while preventing metal to metal wear and dirt contamination. Individual pads are easily replaced in the field by removing connecting pins. The "live" action, combined with the long, wide track design puts more track area on the ground. This results in minimizing ground pressure and soil compac...

    Update your videos the old VHS footage is making you look bad. Given the "good Looks" oriented signaling going all through bureaucracy now days...

    I ran an FMC, the precursor, back in the early 70's. Fun ride, even on steep ground and snow. Did not enjoy working on the final drive though. Did they ever make that stronger?

  • @waynearrington6727
    @waynearrington6727 Рік тому

    I ran an FMC tracked skidder with moveable arch and chokers on snow in the early '70s in Oregon. Very fun machine to run around with out in the woods.....lots of maintenance. Flying a helicopter on fires in the 00"s I saw a lot of them that had been converted to water tankers for running fire lines.

    • @GreatNW

    The amount of money spent fighting these fires they could have put a nice network of fire hydrants in these forests and made it easier to put out, and let volunteers come in and clean the junk on the ground of dead trees and brush that feeds these fires, instead of trying to convince us it's a global warming thing, except other states like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, and other states with large forests don't seem to spontaneously combust....

  • @blufinnschannelinhonorofbl5450
    @blufinnschannelinhonorofbl5450 2 роки тому

    If you have not been on a KMC/FMC, it is impossible to grasp just how much more capable they are. Compared to a cat or wheel skidder.

    • @pvtimberfaller
      @pvtimberfaller 2 роки тому

      The biggest problem is they are light duty compared to a cat or skidder. They ran lots of them in my area & there were a lot of horrific accidents, many from breaking a track on a steep slope causing the machine to turn hard sidewise & rolling 25 times often killing the operator.

    • @pvtimberfaller
      @pvtimberfaller 2 роки тому

      The machine in the video pretty much lost all the advantage of the design with the grapple hanging that far out back, you are supposed to carry a good portion of the load on the machine, not drag all of it like a cat.

    • @blufinnschannelinhonorofbl5450
      @blufinnschannelinhonorofbl5450 Рік тому

      Oh fellas, I didn't mean discredit any person or machine. I wanted to validate the FMC being an extraordinary design and phenomenal in capabilities. But, no single machine works best in every situation. I've spent a lot of time on one. Many dozer operators struggle on these. They do not operate even similar to cat. Drive sprocket on the front changes everything from a typical dozer. Anywho, if you haven't and get a chance to operate one, jump on it. It is my favorite machine.

  • @bitsnpieces11

    There is a specific type of valve used in water/wastewater/sewage pipelines to vent trapped gases. It is a hollow ball contained inside a cage, the air/gas can vent out and in through the seat because it isn't dense enough to lift the ball. When the liquid comes up it will lift the ball against the seat and seal it so no water/fluid escapes. When the water/fluid drops the ball drops allowing air/gas to flow. Also if you want to use this as a bulldozer you can have a larger blade but why pull the tank.

  • @alphonsotate2982
    @alphonsotate2982 2 роки тому

    It needs a full height blade not a skidder blade it has the power to move a lot of material.

    • @bentheguru4986
      @bentheguru4986 Рік тому

      Nope, it's not a dozer, it's an all access vehicle. Blade is big enough to clear whats needed.
