- 1964 Caterpillar D8 filmed working the land at East Midlands Vintage Working Weekend, Commons farm, Braybrooke, Market Harborough. 15th and 16th August 2009
The theme was International & Caterpillar, working crawler tractors demonstrating the art of working the land. This CAT was the biggest one there, Caterpillar D8 H 22A built around 1964 dragging behind it a Sub Soiler / Ripper used to break up the sub soil in a field thus creating better drainage, usually used after the soil has become compacted. This video demonstrates the brute force needed to pull this kind of implement up hill and down dale, something the big CAT has in abundance... Driven by John Holman - Авто та транспорт
CAT never dies ! Awesome Machine !
Boy oh boy, this old dog still has the power;...and nicely silenced engine too. I also am admiring that this one is such good general condition and with a cab too. Lovely tractor.
Thank you for a great comment, she sure was a great machine.
you just cant beat these old machines a friend of mine had a 1959 D8 runs great he had 2 one with a pony motor he sold that one now he wishes he kept it i enjoy running that D8 some people dont like it cause its a standard shift but it dont bother me
It was quite nice to be stood close by watching this old girl work... Thanks :-)
Wow, amazing
Thanks Walter, this was a great machine to stand and watch in action. It really did have to work hard in that field, the ground was very hard and it was on a slope, so coming back uphill was extra hard going. Not bad going for an old girl...
…brute power
most reliable workhorse imaginable
thank you kindly
a thrilling experience to watch how carefully this Operator goes about his task of deep harrowing and loostening up the soil for further cultivation
And the CAT NÉVER misses a beat…
even uphill is just a ‘go go GO’ scene❓
Thank you kindly again
most enjoyable few moments
Pse do some more❓
I wonder which year model this machine represents?
It appears timeless and well maintained
EXCELLENT‼️
👊🔥

Circa 1964
captivating and amazing....to watch.
Was great to watch !!
lovely old machine brings back memorys
Thank you :-)
I know he caught me out a treat, didn't know he was intending to come my way. I wished I hadn't switched the camera off, could kick myself for that. I never quite seemed to be in the right place when I filmed most of this series of films. I kept cursing myself... ha ha. Thanks for watching and rating Bob
I know that feeling well.. Thank you
Give me a Caterpillar D8 or D9 and I'll build you a road to hell & back. One of the best machines Caterpillar has ever made.
Un grand merci pour l'information, avoir un bon week-end ... :-) Paul
thats a very impressive machine
Terrific Machine doing some awesome plowing 5*
Thanks Dave glad you liked it, however there's more to come, two more in fact being uploaded very soon. No idea on the horsepower. It's a brute though... :-))
Yeah thanks, I'll take a look when I get chance. Thanks for subscribing. Have a nice day...Paul :-)
That must sound very nice, as boats go I imagine...!!!
Oh I so wished I could help you out, but I was just a spectator at this event, armed with a video camera, and lots of enthusiasm for filming BIG machinery at work.
Thanks for a great comment, I hope you find what you are looking for some day. Only wished I could help you out more... sorry
Good luck...Paul :-)
Great comment Thanks :-)
That old cat pulled it like it wasn't even there
@theBLC420 ...or maybe just clean glass. I know what you meant though.. :-) Thanks for watching.
Im guessing a good 18 inches, maybe more. Can you tell by looking at the contraption on the rear of the Cat?
that machine is nice and vary clean. have you see a D9 that's ten times bigger. what you can do in a week with a D8 you can do in a day with a D9.
Used to drive for Ces Walton over at Bosworth we had two D9's that had a modified ripper for mole ploughing had two blades made from armoured steel plate still got worn out pretty quickly the expander was a job because it came off then you have go over it again mole ploughed Bruntingthorpe airfield that was a job and a half hit a massive block of concrete for holding down B52 bombers that stopped the old girl in short order.
How much would one of these be worth in a decent working condition?
Superb footage there Paul, excellent quality and camera work, I laughed at the end when you had to make a quick exit, as it didn't look as though he had any intentions of stopping...ha..ha, saw your little baby at the beginning did you get it dirty?...5* Bob
Yes it is rather nice, only wished I had it myself. :-)
I'm told each shank requires about 40 h.p. each, there's 3 shanks, so 120 h.p. to pull this
shank plow.
This is your best video yet! i loved it! Any idea how much Hp she has? 5*
Dave
A walk in the park
my god a cab? Ive never seen a cab on a d8 before!
How deep were they ripping?
Cela ressemble à un jargon technique pour moi .. LOL je n'ai fait que filmer ces gars s'amuser ... Merci d'avoir regardé et commenté. Salutations de l'Angleterre. :-)
I dont suppose anyone out there knows the serial number of this beauty ?
Good old American muscle 💪
@D6PBC See you there !!! :-)
She's a good un. How many HP you got in that there little bugger there little feller?
I can't answer your question because I was only there to film what I could. I have no idea on any technical questions regarding the machines shown. :-)
Im guessing only the owner / Driver would know that information
how old was this one do you know???
little bit of slippage at 3:50
expertly operated by John (knocker)Holman
I wonder how it's working now, 5 years later without the air cleaner lid?
Who knows...
+Gee Dubb The filter is there and retained by that wing nut seen in the center. The element looks to have a radial seal around it too, so there may not be a cover, or it might be just a vanity/ decorative cover.
The complete air filter is there and intact. The end of the element is gray instead of yellow is all.
Nous avons traversé les fils, je pense, vous ne m'avez pas offenser, désolé si je vous ai donné cette impression. On dirait un fermier, qui sait de quoi il parle. Im juste un fan de grosses machines, et ne savent rien sur l'agriculture ou les techniques. J'étais là-bas pour voir les machines et de prendre des séquences vidéo. Ce film de votre observation est le résultat de mon temps là-bas. Merci ... :-) Paul
or with a cab at all!
O que é 45
Im told 1964
to bad a dozer this size does not have a blade,,,needs a blade bad.
I bet that dozer will still be working 50 more years. No computer or plastic.
.
big deal...I can pull that when I eat bacon with beans.
