@พีรพงศ์เกตุกรอง Ya know I coulda sworn I answered this exact question on someone else's comment but either it's not loading in or I'm hallucinating 🤣 but essentially I wasn't entirely sure because they both had their own strengths and weaknesses. While the D355A has armor and weight (31 ton vs 61 ton, therefore much better traction for a push war), the D9 is lighter and probably faster as well as 'driverless' and seemingly very good operating skills, or at least lack of driver fatigue. Really, it would depend on how the battle played out and if certain maneuvers were done. The D355A would win if it could get a good shot at the D9 and push it to either where it got stuck or off an embankment where it landed belly-up. However, the D9 would win (especially under the circumstances of unlimited fuel) due to driver fatigue eventually or if it could outmaneuver the D355A's operator.
I was a teenager when this movie was on. I was sitting in my house in Ohio and there was snow on the ground and snow on the roof and I was sitting there watching this fight between this dozer and the steam shovel and a big piece of that snow and ice fell off of the roof. Scared the bejabies out of me. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was about 14 or 15 somewhere in there
@retydeere1111 Haha this is a different Killdozer - he's making the Komatsu Marvin Heemeyer used for the Granby Colorado rampage in 2004. This was a horror film regarding a bulldozer possessed by a meteorite on a remote island full of construction workers.
The fact That A crime were There was a killing bulldozer aka the killer dozer that was made by Marvin Heemeyer The Vid was fun to watch of it tho but saddly it was a bad story behind it
Poor old dozer,so misunderstood! He just wanted to play and hog dirt!! If someone would have just rubbed his belly pan and told him everything was going to be better 😂😂😂!!
@Lee-At-Green-Pheonix-Rc it DID actually have a physical operator. Here's how: Killdozer is an early 70s Caterpillar D9G, but not just any ordinary D9G. For the movie, they made a few small revisions, such as raising the height of the blade to look bigger and more intimidating, extending the smokestack for the shovel scene, and fabricating a custom cab BEHIND the existing one. If you compare Killdozer to an everyday D9G (with or without a ROPS), it has a box behind the operator's seat that no other machine like it has. This houses the real operator and a second set of controls mechanically linked to the originals. This allows the real operator to create an illusion that all the levers are moving themselves as well as control the machine without being noticeable to the general audience. However, you can see the driver in a few scenes through the vent behind the operator's seat. There were two vents (one front side and one backside) that may have been designed to keep the hidden operator cooler in the heat. But at just the right angle, you can see the outline of the operator's head as the camera is able to see through both vents to the other side.
@Bob_esponja_peida_no_xandao It was a very early 70s Caterpillar D9G Bulldozer (Track-Type Tractor). Personally I want to say 1971 or 72. However, they made a few changes to the machine for movie purposes: The whole top section of the blade was added on afterwards to make the blade look bigger and more intimidating for scenes like the one where it almost chops Carl Betz's (known as Dennis or 'Sourball' throughout the movie) foot off. The smokestack was lengthened for the scene where it gets knocked off by the shovel and pisses the machine off (the length it is afterwards is where it should be, assuming the welds were very weak so it would break there). The box behind the operator's seat was custom-built to house the real driver and an extra set of controls. If you look in specific scenes, you can see the silhouette of a head and shoulders through the grate.
@@EarlRuppenkamp Everything was hydraulic (though older 9Gs had cables to work the blade). If you're talking about the scene where he cuts the fuel line, I believe it sprayed like that for dramatic effect and an excuse for him to fall off the machine.
I don't understand what all that metal work is behind the seat but I'm guessing that hid another driver and controls for the dozer when they were filming it driving on it's own?????
They probably just put in enough diesel in the line & set it up were nothing was & let it go untill diesel in the line was out what I would do probably only last a minute or 2
Why are there a random bunch of computer bleeps all the time? It don't make them noises in the first place. I swear audio from these old movies is horrible
@@adamcarufel8895 It's supposedly the sound of the possession from the meteorite. If you watch the original movie, the mechanic finds this sound deep within the machine before it runs amok.
They had dozer he use roofed one and push the mertoite after it had mind of it own and want to kill why not when it attacking ram it with none roofed one and drag it to da cool water
@Walmart_Shopping_cart It all depends. The D9 has quite a few things going for it... 'no driver' so it could go endlessly without operator fatigue (although newer machines have operating technology and assists now, too). It also has none of the sensors or computers a modern dozer has, so there would be a lot less to go wrong. However, the newer Caterpillars have hi-track design (which actually came out about 3 years after filming) that cause less sprocket wear and deliver power to the ground much better than a conventional setup. Even without the hi-track, newer dozers are designed to be a lot more efficient. As for who I'd rather see win? Let's just say there's a reason I posted this video...
@ThetreeDraggon If you watch the movie, they try all different ways of stopping it, from burning it and blowing it up to fighting it with a cable shovel. At the end of the movie, Kelly (Clint Walker) spots their industrial-grade generator set and clamps it to a bunch of steel plates underneath a flimsy cover. He then proceeds to lure the machine over to the trap where they flip the switch on the generator, charging the steel plates underneath the cover and electrocuting the all-metal machine.
@@theunemployedtrucker If you'd do that for a D8, imagine what you'd do for the D9 they used in the movie 😂 not to mention they welded an extra top piece to make the blade bigger than the original
