This is how it should be done. No annoying music.
Not exactly a 375 is far from the title. Thumbs down.
A rare treat to see the ripper engaged, well done 👍🏻
I’ve always wondered what that thing was used for.
@@robbybiddle9236 This video explains it really well. They are used to rip apart dirt and rock.
Fantastic to watch. Some super camera angles & close ups. Awesome dozer 👍
but not the biggest one
@@elveezultraTECH The biggest in the UK at the time this was filmed, yes.
Good video. One of the best operators I've seen on youtube, getting a lot of work done without wrecking his machine.
10:45, it looks like there must be a great rock slab under the soil. Brutal stuff.
This thing gives me a woody.
Great dozer and operater too 👍✌️verry good job
Wonderful!
Wow thanks brother!!
Wandering if Komatsu dozer is the equivalent to Toyota in cars? The motor sounds so smooth with minimal smoke and I don’t hear any squeaking or squealing from the running gear. It all spells the highest of quality. If I needed to own a dozer it would be Komatsu and all my cars have been Toyota.
Smart
This stuff screams for a shitload of TNT
I want to see a video where it rips then moves the dirt as good as this one for ripping
Rock is interesting some areas can be ripped while there are other areas that need to be loosened with explosives. The way blasting is done nowdays it is to fracture the rock enough to be processed. Where the dust was coming off the tip that is solid rock and need to be lossened with explosives.The nature of rock is usually the upper part can be loosened with a ripper, but the deeper you go the more solid it is. Earthmovers rate rock in seismic velocity. The higher the velocity the harder the rock. I have seen a picture of a rock cut on a highway job in Ca. and one area of the cut they are using scrapers to haul the material and 20ft away there are rock drills drilling on a solid knob of rock
that ground is so hard. great operator
Brutal. You need to add a jack hammering function to the ripper claw. Done and done.
Its been done. It was called an impact ripper, didn't catch on because of the wear and tear on the machine.
Cat made one for the D10.
Needs to use the variable pitch on the rippers more once its in the ground and get it pulled in to a better angle as well as lifting the backend way off the ground doesn't give it more down pressure it just reduces the traction because there is less track on the ground.
took the words right off my key board
ive seen some of them operators do that lifting it way up to see if it drops down once they plow over a break in the rock but that looked like he was maybe just showing the camera how high it would lift because thats not really the best way to rip
Impresionante equipos y exelentes operadores, saludos
good operator.
here in the bahamas we have large rock slabs called flint rock no dozer on earth can rip that
But my dynamite can 😀
Rather him than me getting shaken to bits !
When the earth gets in your way just push through it
That shit would shake you to your soul
Finally the video I've been waiting for & it's a long one too top notch mate top notch
nick torea Glad to hear you like the video. I’ve another one of it pushing and an in cab GoPro view as well to put on the channel at some point.
Awesome Earthmovers keep em coming buddy all donations kindly accepted😀

hard working machine
What is this site being made for? Is it a mine, or a lake or landfill?
You know your working that big crawler if the tracks are spinning

Years ago them old CATs had reverse fans blades could get heat from motor.
I sure do knowok
I sure know about the reversible fan ,and the cat I was operating had a switch and could control it from the seat . And made it so nice having a hydraulic fan, so when it gets clogged up , turn the switch and now the fan is a pushing one,and away goes all that dust and grass, and just a out anything else that can get sucked Into the fan and plug it up. But the next dozer the company bought, no hydraulic reversing fan, hit had a reversing fan, but the type I had to get out of the seat, and reached in the fan shroud, then taking each blade, and pushing them in , and with a twist, the blade will be either a pusher or sucker fan. And yesss , shut off the engine before working in the engine bay. But when the blade is turned to where it will be sucking the heat out of the radiator and engine , and get a very very nice and warm operator area. And when my grandfather worked on the Alaska pipeline , he brought back a brand new operator blanket, and gave it to me, with being so thankfully as my grandfather still had the one he used operating a double 9 or d-9, and showed me how to use it with ducts in it to place over or around which let that high velocity fan. What a life saver that co er around blanket, so kept me warm. The funny thing is, when the weather starts to change and getting warmer in the afternoon, then had to take off the blanket type thing ( I forgot the real name for it ) and then a little latter when it warmed up some more, turn the fan blades to push.
Good video ,Sir do you have dozer jobs in UK?
what are the 5 chunky blocks on the bottom of the track for? I've never seen thoseon a machine before
GOLDSMITHEXILE 2016 They are bottom roller guards.
There roller guards !!!
They are rock guards. They get wore out to and need built up or replaced. That under carriage is newer. That is why you don't hear the tracks squealing. The tracks have pins and bushings. There is s rubber stopper in each pin. You can oil the tracks there to keep pins and bushing from wearing out. Saves alot of money. Just re grouser your pads when worn.
Is that dust or gas built up in the ground?
Супер бульдозер!!!
Bring in the blaster, that isn't ripping.
Komatsu is good
Yay! - operate it like somebody else owns it - brutal...
Т 800 в свое время сделал больше чем в наше время, е э и заводы.
I have almost wore out a ripper tooth in one day. One thing i know also is you should not try and turn with the ripper buried. But on these bigger machinces the same stands with pushing. Turn with corner bit. But never with frictions when pushing full load. I see one track spinning and one warning. Next time park it. Two tracks spinning alot won't happen. Do more ripping or you are not running my dozer. Tha5 os some mean ripping.
hmm i am still wonder what exactly causing that white steam from ripper , is it from pressure and high temps on rock or is it just dust from crushed rocks ?
baca zterchovej It’s from the friction generated from the weight of 115 tonnes of dozer trailing the small point of the ripper over hard rock. It’s a mix of dust and smoke from friction I think.
Ripper tips can get that hot you cant touch them with your hand, its not steam as such but fine dust created from the friction of the tip sliding over hard rock.
Probably a daft question, but what is so complicated to put the blade down and push soil? Not trying to offend, is there something more to it? Like knowing the depth or angle that you’re supposed to clear off?
Like most things in life everything looks easy until you have to do it. Like most any task short of simple, there is much knowledge and skills and trick and tips one must learn and accumulate to truely make something look simple and easy and in many cases mindless and effortless. Running that machine my friend is no simple feat. A truly skilled person will make their craft look so simple and that's truely one of the most beautiful parts of mastering anything in this world. That goes for welding or painting artwork or machining or equipment operating or cooking or flying or anything more then simple for that matter. It's the sheer tenacity that true masters of their craft have to pour there heart and soul and every ounce of effort into mastering their craft and that is a very large part of why humans so adaptable and able to overcome most any challenge.
no it is not
Good komatsu bulldozer
Is a Komatsu 475 equivalent to a D11 ?
They are pretty much the same size. It can depend on what specification they have as well which can make weight vary a lot.
Rock: 1
Dozer: 0
what is dat for a ground
Lovely to see that komatsu power and torque being brought to bear - what is all that white stuff in and around the place though?
Snow?
@@Thomas-tf4cm no, it ain't snow though
it's probably snow.

Blasting!?
I need a work
In this sort of material, what sort of lifespan can be expected for the shank ?
Stan Patterson the tip needs changed twice a week but they are testing out different tips to see if they can get longer periods between changes.
In some material the tip life can be a few hours, not days.
@@rossgray3070 that's not to bad as long as it gets the job done.
Just wasting his time you will have to blast
Man she is ust awesome to watch. Beautiful how the roller boogies are working in the ruff terrain. Just one thing - the operator does not tilt the ripper in, which can result in excessive shank tip wear. Or he just do not want to for a reason I'm not seeing.
Two questions: Which material is ripped? And what are the green and amber beacons for?
Great video, keep it rolling!
The material is a very hard compacted Silica Sand that even a D11R couldn't handle. The green beacon indicates that the operator is wearing his seatbelt and the orange beacon is just a general warning beacon that the bulldozer is in operation.
Thanks for clearing that up, mate! looking forward to see more of this D475

Blast it away
Blast it!
I think he's just wasteing his time they need to Dynamite he's just Skidding across the top of the stone

Awesome Earthmovers cool thanks
Looks like a lot of unnecessary wear on an expensive dozer.
Is that frozen?
Douglass Wilkin no, it’s an incredibly hard sandstone
May im wrong,but it waste fuel,and wear on the dozer,we drilling holes,filling explosion into the hole,press the button,and make loose around 40-45 000 tons of rock,abaut cost 0.6€/tons.
Why play on the solid rock with the dozer,no result.
May he make 300tons of rock all day.
J Cs I’m sure they did their sums before buying the dozer as opposed to blasting. What I did notice when I was there is that the silica sand they were mining or quarrying for was mixed with pockets of other materials. If it were to be blaster then the Silica sand would be contaminated. Another reason not to blast is that blasting would leave large lumps of silica sand as opposed to the dozer ripping it out fine, needing no secondary processing.
@@AwesomeEarthmovers I believe that blasting is not permitted on the site also

닛빠. 팁좀 교환하고,긁어라!
it's not good ripper
why is that.
@@rogerwoodland2587 The way that guy on the video ripping is just unacceptable.
First he needs to adjust dozer tooth lower so that the frame of ripper would be parallel to the floor wherever he is able to penetrate material.
Somewhere it's comparatively soft material and he's going too deep due to incorrect tooth positioning and that's increasing the fuel consumption and wearing of UC, decreasing performance at that same time.
Another point is that kind of hard material should be drilled&blasted, not ripped. And he's just killing that machine and wasting owner's money.
