Used for water storage for livestock the dam catch’s natural run-off from the paddock

Yep, I’ve done it a few times that’s for sure.

@@ridgwayearthworks2428 How often do you put up a video? It would be nice to hear the big Puss Purr. Nothing sweeter than a big Cat on full song.

I don’t post that much, mate just odd bits and pieces here and there for fun. Will try and put something up with the old girl working soon.

Yeah, i wanna hear the dozer pushing, the wood breaking, and this elevator music!

Fun to watch them dozers take down the m trees.

Yeah it was built for the Jarra country down the south west of W.A. some very large trees down there.

@@ridgwayearthworks2428 I’ve got a couple of absolute beauties on the boundary fence that will have to go at some stage. It might be rip all round and push a ramp to get them to go over but cross that bridge later.

The first thing in the field was the boom spray which got bogged and then they bogged the quad track then the excavator was bogged trying to get the quad track out. And once all this happened we where called to recover the machines.

Yeah just started on the UA-cam thing will put up more action content in the future.

@@ridgwayearthworks2428 I'm looking forward to it.

Is that a retention pond?

I'm sure he did do that an by the time others got to where he was it sank. It would have sank that far if he tried to get his self out or not.

The bogged machines were operated on a large farm which employs lots of people and from time to time they make some mistakes. And like all these situations they will try to get themselves out and make it worse for themselves. The other thing was the ground had a hard cap on top and then underneath was just slop and the machines fell through quickly which caught them out. We were called to recover the machines which took four days.

You have obviously never been in equipment, nor in a sticky situation. Things can go south in a hurry. Shut up and eat your muffin.

Exactly what I thought

I knew some people might comment on this but it’s a bit hard to explain unless you’re in the situation. The load on that and it’s not actually that great it sounds like it is and it’s the twisting action on the shackle as the ripper ripper is lifted. The chain is 2 1/2 inch so as you can imagine you’re trying to pull two 2 1/2 inch pieces of steel in half which is not gonna happen with the load we have applied. The Chain used there should be able to lift all those machines at once so the working load is very low for the capacity of the chain. The other thing is the machines are actually on very slippery clay and were unable to get much traction at all for their size.

Zero chance they get enough traction to break that chain.

@@ridgwayearthworks2428 that reassuring to hear, id still shite myself hearing that chain creak😂

That chain they are using won't break pulling that size load unless it was broken or damaged. An I'm sure they wouldn't of used it if it was damaged or broke. An chains that big make a bunch on noise every movement they make.

Yep sure is he’s living out Point Malcolm most of the time.

Yep out at Condingup

Hey boys do one on sinking a 10,000 yard dam. Show the world what real dozer skill is.

@@frankbertola3662 Going to do a 15000 yard dam in the next few months will do a full video on that it should be good 👍

Yes it’s a lot easier to get help early that’s for sure!

Quem falou?

Yes that’s very true you can shift a lot more dirt with two machines side-by-side. The reason that is not done is we have to place a very pacifically so we do not have to shift the material twice otherwise we have large lumps in the walls on the outside sort out afterwards. It is easier to just put everything in the correct position from the start then it makes the cleanup very fast at the end. Are use the opportunity take some video with the machines going to the same point in the dam but it was only for one or two blade fulls.

Yeah we hooked the HD21 on the first time just in a straight pull up with the shank but it did not budget it. But then I did what we normally do and hook the chain to the track of the D8 and that way it has positive traction and drove straight out as it lifts the back of the machine up which breaks the suction. As you can see in the video extremely simple I’m getting bulldozes out. You don’t need a very big machine to be the anchor at the other end of the chain small tractor would do for a bulldozer of that size.

@@ridgwayearthworks2428 I would like to see how you did that

@@johnlemmey7698 I will do a full video in the future if I get bogged again which is definitively going to happen at some stage 😂 . Basically what I do is I run a large chain about 2 inch ships anchor chain back to the track of the dozer and then hook it on with some 50 t 5/8 high tensile chain doubled up normally so it doesn’t break. I have two little slits cut in the Grazer plate to attach the 50 t chain easily. It’s quite simple once you understand how to do it and then you can use the power of the machine to winch it self out with zero slippage.
