    Back in early 2000's I work for a construction company and spent a year and a half working in Fort McMurry renovating the Dr. Karl A Clark Elementary school. According to the kids and teachers their school was very important because Karl A Clark was the one that came up with how to extract the tar from the sand with hot water and steam. We were all taken on a guided tour of mine. I grew up in a coal mining town and had been around massive equipment since I was little. I don't care who you are or how old you get standing next to equipment like this blows your mind.

  • @chriswielenga9882

    About cold starting: A lot of trucks and equipment in Canada use Webasto or Espar diesel coolant heaters to maintain temperature at 160F. I think they have adapters for the coolant to circulate thru the hydraulic tanks as well or it’s manufactured into the tank. Using synthetic engine oil in the winter also makes a huge difference.

      Most of the iron does not get shut off. As mechanics go to repairs often the equipment is covered in a parachute and tow behind frost fighters (gensets with diesel fire indirect heaters. Millions of BTU) Are used to keep everything warm. You can walk around in a t-shirt inside and -40 outside.

    This Aaron wishes he was more like you. You’re just cool and speak with honesty and a nice tone. The production quality from you all is outstanding. I found you by chance, and although I’m not in the industry I love machines and learning about it all. Every video feels fun and informative, and it can be a challenge to get that blended well. You guys do it brilliantly. Since you asked, as unlikely as it may be, I hope one of the countries you can hit up is Romania; because it’s beautiful, because there’s industrial history I know nothing about and would love to learn from you.

    About 7 years ago I got a job welding outta high school and I got to weld all the teeth and wear bars on one of those buckets. It came into our shop because along transport it got into an accident outside of Red Deer and the bucket was dented. We got the bid to straighten it out and re-finish it, one of my favourite projects from that job!

    Lololol man you outdid yourself this time!!! Great video bro and the "f" bomb at 5:09 lolol. Amazes me how that 15 dwarfs that C5. I'd love to see her next to a 390 and see the size comparison. Great job here!

    Finning Cat is the largest Cat dealer in North America, because they cover all Canada. I work for Holt Cat, the second biggest dealer. Crazy part is we are one of 4 Cat dealerships in Texas! HOLT CAT! 😁
