But the old ones gets just as much fun. Technic set was about making moving parts that function to machines in the real life. I collect a lot of old Lego. Because they simply is better for playing with. I own alot of new Lego too of cause 😉 also the cat D11
It´s nice that you include the classic sets in your vids too, knowing the history is always fun! I hope there will be more comparisons like this in the future, best of luck with the channel, this is quality content! :>
@@GreyFox250 Lego choose to do the licensing. It's not needed. The customer wouldn't care if it was a CAT D11 or a generic dozer. @Unbrickme To be fair, the D11 needs a point scrubbed on functionality for the badly built ripper. It' doesn't touch the ground.
Yeah that would be right up my alley. Because I'm Indian, I can't afford the sets above $40. So a video like this would not only be interesting and fun, it would also be useful!
Agree on your assessment of the 856 set. I got that when it came out in 1979 (I was 10 at the time) and just loved it. It's really an ingenious design - to be able to get full bucket action with that small a set and with the Lego Technic pieces that were available then is just amazing. For what it is and for the size of it I would say that it's one of the really great Technic sets of all time. Please note though that this set is modelled after not a bulldozer but a tracked loader and a relatively small one at that. Few tracked loaders have rippers since this implement is used to soften up the ground to make it easier to doze. Therefore, it's quite uncommon for these to be found on a tracked loader and even more uncommon for small machines (dozers and loaders alike). But - great comparison and good that you pointed out that the yellow tracks (and blade) of the 42131 is actually not strange (as many Lego enthusiasts have put forward in numerous forums) but rather how the real bulldozer is delivered from Caterpillar. Of course, the Lego tracks won't wear like the real ones but at least I prefer this look and that Lego stays true to the original.
there are no finish grading dozers (d3/d5) with rippers, many d6's with 6-way grading blades don't have them either. its mostly d8's and up that had bull blades that got rippers.
Yes, indeed. My favourite model is the oldest. Sick mechanisms and wit. All the crucial design elements are there and the scale is perfect for a functional model. They never talk abou the scale. It is much easier to appreciate a smaller model than a bigger one.
While watching the video, I remembered that my father had the 1979 bulldozer. I just finished building it and WOAHE ! I almost never built studed technic set, but it's packed with so much functionality and the instructions are more difficult than today's one (even though it's 9+). I'm now looking to get the 2024 baby one, and maybe the CAT for the next spree.
Awesome video, my favourite is D11T. Also, Lego showed us 42127 Batmobile, you saw that set? In my opinion it have amazing prize, for $100 we will get 1360 parts and new light bricks
I’ve just pick up the Cat D11T to put in my collection, I’m really looking forward to the build, I all So have the 1979 dozer and the first pneumatic technic forklift as well in the collection, fun times ahead, Cheers
I love all the lego technic construction vehicle sets. Construction vehicles bring out the best in technic in my opinion. The functions and mechanisms built into them is what technic is all about.
Damn seeing all these expensive monsters used in real environments... and i thought i was silly as a kid always trying to build and use ships in water. (regular lego... so you know... they were actually floating)
I mostly agree but i would remove some playability points on tha CAT bulldozer because it can only be controlled via phone and unlike powerfunctions becomes useless once the app isn't supported anymore.
In that case the mini bulldozer is the easiest to buy, it’s not too expensive. Everything else is extremely expensive, even the 2014 bulldozer costs $200+ sealed now.
But the hi track keeps your final drive out of the mud and helps from the tracks freezing up in colder conditions and the mud around the final drive keeps the heat on the final drive motor but cool thanks
honestly i like the mini one because i am not a very skilled or rich person and i like just building armoured tanks for my minifigs to play with sometimes, and i'm always short on those tracks and that set couldve got me some at a low price and i wouldve got some fun technic elements to build my rickety rc tanks too
The average bulldozer is not a high track d7 with a triple blade ripper. The average dozer is a standard track d4 or d5 equivalent with no ripper or has a winch
Unbrickme, I need your help. I can't decide whether to get the 42131 Cat D11 or not. They are on back order right now. I will get one if you say so, but No Pressure...................no pressure.
The D11 is expensive because Lego has a get a license from Caterpillar to use their logo and designs. And getting a license to use a company’s logo and designs is not cheap!
the reason why 853 has no ripper is because there wouldn't be any space. putting the controls on the cab would make it look ugly and considering technic was only 2 years old at that time. it would be almost impossible to put the controls on the cab. also, technic figures were only introduced in 1986 so a minifigure wouldn't look right as most technic sets are either too big or too small for a minifigure. in fact, that is the main reason why technic figures were introduced in the first place after the maxifigures were discontinued in 1975. also rip technic figures (1986-2001)
hi i wondered how simple (im fairly new to technics) it would be to buy a couple of actuators cogs etc and transfer the power from the ladder and pass it on to the tilt mechanism for the back hoe
I think the lego technic Cat D11 bulldozer is a bit better than the lego technic Mercedes Benz Zetros trial truck because the lego bulldozer has more climbing and pushing power. It can pass any obstacles better than the lego technic Mercedes Benz Zetros. 9:50
Honestly, authenticity should not be the major selling point of lego...this is better accomplished with other media like models. Personally, the 70s bulldozer is an example of a perfect lego set.
I don't like that you give every set a certain score depending on their size, there is no real way to compare it unless you completely trash on the smaller, less functional sets. Which you do not do.
Loves the video but found the scoring strange. 3.5/5 was “average” and you didn’t put your own top choice as the winner based on your own subjective scores.
I just bought the d11 I don't think it's over priced you're paying for cat first of all there mad expensive to begin with but everything about this thing is amazing we'll worth the money
@@Unbrickme the Lamborghini Sian barely fits and I don't think I want to buy the Titanic or millennium Falcon since I think that's just too many pieces for me
@@Unbrickme well, I love the old one because it was my first Technic set, ( from my father ) and it initiate me, and one detail you forgot in the video is that it could be motorized, but the other one allowed me to do my first RC vehicle, so I still prefer it ^^
Special thanks to Bami for helping me with the thumbnail
Not all bulldozers have a ripper.
It's amazing how much Lego has developed over the last 40 years. The latest dozer is a monster.
Agreed
But the old ones gets just as much fun. Technic set was about making moving parts that function to machines in the real life. I collect a lot of old Lego. Because they simply is better for playing with.
I own alot of new Lego too of cause 😉 also the cat D11
It´s nice that you include the classic sets in your vids too, knowing the history is always fun!
I hope there will be more comparisons like this in the future, best of luck with the channel, this is quality content! :>
I plan to do a comparison between all lego technic excavators sometime soon
The Cat D11 Bulldozer would've won easily if the set wasn't so pricey...
$450?! ARE YOU INSANE, LEGO?!
What do you say about $140 lego technic remote controlled bucket vechicle?... Similar non buildable remote controlled bucket costs even $90 less!..
One word. Licensing. Everybody has to take their cut unfortunately.
@@GreyFox250 Lego choose to do the licensing. It's not needed. The customer wouldn't care if it was a CAT D11 or a generic dozer.
@Unbrickme To be fair, the D11 needs a point scrubbed on functionality for the badly built ripper. It' doesn't touch the ground.
@@_seriousrob_Las deine Fantasie spielen. Kannst du umbauen. ☺️
It's over $1000 in Australia :/
Loved this video. Bit rough giving the mini bulldozer a 3 for functionality - it's so small - you can't get more than 1 function in there! LOL. 😂
thanks! maybe the mini bulldozer deserved more points
Can you make the top 10 best little technic sets?
I think I’ll do that soon
Yeah that would be right up my alley. Because I'm Indian, I can't afford the sets above $40. So a video like this would not only be interesting and fun, it would also be useful!

The classic set certainly has its charm. And though I never missed a seat, the uploader has a point, it is strangely missing.
I love the $10 bulldozer. It’s so small yet it has functions!
It's not THAT uncommon to have bulldozer without rippers. Actually, in real life, I think I've seen more without than with...
Same

The CatD11 Bulldozer is clearly the king of them all. especially when it comes to functionality.
LEGO sets have really evolved so much from their predecessors
While watching the video, I remembered that my father had the 1979 bulldozer. I just finished building it and WOAHE ! I almost never built studed technic set, but it's packed with so much functionality and the instructions are more difficult than today's one (even though it's 9+).

beautiful scenery for the presentation of these amazing sets
Thank you!
Awesome video, my favourite is D11T. Also, Lego showed us 42127 Batmobile, you saw that set? In my opinion it have amazing prize, for $100 we will get 1360 parts and new light bricks
Thank you so much for letting me know about that
I’ve just pick up the Cat D11T to put in my collection, I’m really looking forward to the build, I all
So have the 1979 dozer and the first pneumatic technic forklift as well in the collection, fun times ahead, Cheers
The 2014 dozer isn’t licensed, however only cat is allowed to build theirs with overhang track and the sprocket on the top
The 2014 bulldozer is the perfect bulldozer. It's the classic feel of LEGO Technic, and the perfect balance between functions and aesthetics.
Yeah
Wonderful comparison video.
Thank you so much I greatly appreciate your support
I love all the lego technic construction vehicle sets. Construction vehicles bring out the best in technic in my opinion. The functions and mechanisms built into them is what technic is all about.
Damn seeing all these expensive monsters used in real environments... and i thought i was silly as a kid always trying to build and use ships in water. (regular lego... so you know... they were actually floating)
I saw the ant exploring the small technic bulldozer
I want to get the 8275 now. A good mix of System and Technic pieces as well as a great PF parts pack.
I mostly agree but i would remove some playability points on tha CAT bulldozer because it can only be controlled via phone and unlike powerfunctions becomes useless once the app isn't supported anymore.
No pressure no pressure 😂😭🤣
How did I come across this awesome channel!?
Now weld 1 inch thick armor plating onto the big ones
For example leveling dozers don't always have rippers so it is kinda authentic
Also I tend to use the 8275 without the ripper because I use it mostly for leveling work.
I wish you would have scored value based on current pricing so we knew which one was the best buy now.
In that case the mini bulldozer is the easiest to buy, it’s not too expensive. Everything else is extremely expensive, even the 2014 bulldozer costs $200+ sealed now.
Honestly I'm surprised Lego only made 5 bulldozers. That seems like it would be technics forté
same, i was also surprised
I love the 1979 model. But I'm 50 years old. I prefer the old style square beams.
Nice video. You shoud do the same comparison for alle Lego Technic excavators. 🙂
The tracks are painted???? I thought they would be molded in yellow
I would still like it if it hadn’t had „cat“ written on it.
Also it would cost a lot less.
Agreed
But the hi track keeps your final drive out of the mud and helps from the tracks freezing up in colder conditions and the mud around the final drive keeps the heat on the final drive motor but cool thanks
the 1979 bulldozer does look like a crawler loader
Unbrickme, you will have a lot of work to do if you do Every Single Lego Technic Crane. There are a LOT of them.
honestly i like the mini one because i am not a very skilled or rich person and i like just building armoured tanks for my minifigs to play with sometimes, and i'm always short on those tracks and that set couldve got me some at a low price and i wouldve got some fun technic elements to build my rickety rc tanks too
It is agood deal for you especially when you don’t want to spend more than 10 dollars.
can you make a comparison of all lego technic excavators?
Great video!
The 70's-80's Lego is the best technic era in my opinion. I own alot of new too. But the old ones is more appealing to me 😁
I have the 8853 bulldozer on my desk, it's not in this video :(
That’s called the excavator and is a front loader
@@Unbrickme oops, sorry. English is not my first language and I have only ever heard it be called a bulldozer.
Yes legendary boldoser
Yes, the sandbox test is compulsory
The average bulldozer is not a high track d7 with a triple blade ripper. The average dozer is a standard track d4 or d5 equivalent with no ripper or has a winch
I still have the 853 bulldozer. Yes I'm old. Also have the forklift and the helicopter from the beginning of Technic.
Nice!
You forgot about the pneumatic bulldozer from the 8459 set. :)
8459 is a front wheel loader not a bulldozer:)
Unbrickme, I need your help. I can't decide whether to get the 42131 Cat D11 or not. They are on back order right now. I will get one if you say so, but No Pressure...................no pressure.
The motorized bulldozer getting the same amount of points for authenticety as the d11 is controversial to me. Otherwise pretty accurate though!
Can you pls make a video about the best lego technic power function sets
Great idea! I think I’ll do that soon
The D11 is expensive because Lego has a get a license from Caterpillar to use their logo and designs. And getting a license to use a company’s logo and designs is not cheap!
Nice video! Personally I think that the Cat D11 bulldozer definitely excels in every way except price.
i agree
You should compare al the lego excavators
the reason why 853 has no ripper is because there wouldn't be any space. putting the controls on the cab would make it look ugly and considering technic was only 2 years old at that time. it would be almost impossible to put the controls on the cab. also, technic figures were only introduced in 1986 so a minifigure wouldn't look right as most technic sets are either too big or too small for a minifigure. in fact, that is the main reason why technic figures were introduced in the first place after the maxifigures were discontinued in 1975.
also rip technic figures (1986-2001)
also the paint wearing off the D11's tracks is actually realistic
Every bulldozer was very nice
Agreed, they all have something special
hi i wondered how simple (im fairly new to technics) it would be to buy a couple of actuators cogs etc and transfer the power from the ladder and pass it on to the tilt mechanism for the back hoe
The 1979 bulldozer i could only find for 500$
Ok it's all chitchat when will you bulldoze some dirt with these technic ?
i feel like you were a bit harsh on the mini one
You can't knock points for no ripper as not all real life bulldozer have ripper
Good point
I think the lego technic Cat D11 bulldozer is a bit better than the lego technic Mercedes Benz Zetros trial truck because the lego bulldozer has more climbing and pushing power. It can pass any obstacles better than the lego technic Mercedes Benz Zetros. 9:50
I personally think the bulldozer is way more fun than the zetros
Honestly, authenticity should not be the major selling point of lego...this is better accomplished with other media like models. Personally, the 70s bulldozer is an example of a perfect lego set.
I don't like that you give every set a certain score depending on their size, there is no real way to compare it unless you completely trash on the smaller, less functional sets. Which you do not do.
Well Cat costs now 330$ So well :)
Lego should make the cat 12m motorgrader that would be cool but fucking cats are cool man or a 973 would be cool too man

Same
i had the 42028 and it was my favourite
Awesome
The Bulldozer 856 is the best 👍😃
I would chose the 1979 at the 1 st place 😬
Most bulldozers don’t have a ripper
where’s 42163
dozers dont always have a ripper
you forgot the lego 42071
the bulldozer looks sick but also wayyyy to big i dont think it would fit on my shelf!
It’s not as big as the titanic or ucs millennium falcon
@@Unbrickme the Lamborghini Sian barely fits and I don't think I want to buy the Titanic or millennium Falcon since I think that's just too many pieces for me

which one do you have?
@@Unbrickme the 2014 one but i changed it in a halftrack vechicle
Nice

Hi!
Hello there
