Nice job Bryan, I know I've said it before but you know how to teach this stuff really well. I'm not a dozer operator but watching this is still easy to understand.
Thanks Allen! I stand behind what I said last year. At some point this summer we should get you and Noah over here and get you some seat time. If we time it out with one of our jobs we can make it happen.
@@DieselandIron Let's do it. That would be awesome to make that happen.
just wanna say thanks ,for taking the time and a good humble teaching style...., all these dozer videos really helping me progress ........please keep em coming
Thank you for watching! None of this would exist without you guys watching the content! I'll do my best to get some more technique videos out when the season fires back up.
@@DieselandIron looking forward to them , from the uk........!
On point.. This goes with many controls. Same thing with blades on a mini x, people tend to get super jerky & jumpy.. Smooth, slow, fluid movements are key.
100%. Thanks for the comment Bobby!
Had me excited there for a min, when I saw the pic on the beginning of the video lol! It's still a good one, keep the great content coming!
I actually recorded this video originally when I was down with you guys but the audio ended up cutting out and I wasn't able to use the video!
Cool lesson. Appreciate you Bryan. Been finish dozing outfalls with plenty of sand, fun fun. Mostly 4:1 slope stuff. Looking forward to your 2022 vlog👍✌️🇺🇸
Thanks Tom! I appreciate it! Dozing sand is always a joy with the tracks popping and snapping every 20 seconds....
THANK YOU!!! You nailed it when it comes to getting flustered when first introduced to the Dozer. I'm in the 2nd week of getting level 2 certifications and the Dozer & I are not making fast friends! I'm pretty persistent and hard headed so I will figure this out. In the meantime I am going to pay attention to my blade hand and SLOW down everything...the machine itself, my hand and my breathing. I guess I shouldn't be so hard on myself because it sounds like I'm not the only one making *hoopties" in my trench! GRRRRRRR they sure do piss ya off though! 😂
You gave great advice to literally every single I'm doing wrong!
I am a fan of your channel! Your dumb it down when it's needed and you put things into the perspective of the beginner and follow it with advice from a veteran dirt guy!
Keep doing what your doing because your channel and your words of advice are finding the people you wanted to reach when you started this UA-cam journey! Your doing good things here!
Thank you so much for the comment! It thrills me when I hear from people that are truly benefiting from the information. Let me know if you have any questions going forward and I'll do my best to answer them.
Bryan what a great teaching moment as always! Love hearing from you man! These are things I can even apply to running my Cat D10!!
I'm jealous! I want to play in a d10...
You know it brother! Let’s get you in one!!
@@nickshirley2010 my goal in this whole thing is to eventually get in the seat of a d10 or a d11
I haven’t gotten into a D11 yet but been around them! Very impressive machines! Looking to be in one in the near future though!
That honestly explained it in explainable terminology, thanks
Shoot me a message if you have questions!
great video thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Back blading is a skill learned and should be in time. As you said its a a pain but to never leave a trace of you being there is valued in our earthwork company as well with our competitors, Cheers bud great vid tho we need to teach our younger brothers.
Thanks for watching and for the support brother, I appreciate it!
Even the simplest thing can change up your skills. Always be willing to learn
Being an operator is a life long learning experience for sure
I remember when I first learned how to operate a skid steer when I was doing the landscaping trade at job corps and I told my instructor it's kind of like a video with joysticks 🕹 kind of like from an arcade machine or flight simulator game.
The new machines are even more like this. With the ability to customize which buttons do which function and full electric over hydraulic controls we are just short of video game territory. Cat Command has pretty much crossed over to being a video game!
Most dozer operators push with the blade rolled to far back and, so, have to push it hard into the ground to get a cut.
Roliing forward loads yo the blade and gets a far more consistent cut. If you feel it loading up too much, roll it back until it dumps enough to roll back forward.
Best tip I ever got - keep your floors on grade and everything else just kid of happens.
Oh!
Watch your clino and don't try to cut to grade first push. First push 2% over grade and second push to grade.
That is something I need to talk about in a future video. Most operators don't ever touch the blade adjustment on the front of the machine. That could help with a lot of frustration with new guys.
Cool! Thank you for the wisdom my brother.
Thanks for watching Matt!

Thank you so much mate
Thanks for watching!
Nice Tips
Thank you sir!
If you haven't already you should make an instructional video regarding slot/trench dozing efficiency. That's the #1 technique I see new catskinners employing incorrectly. Before I learned that slot dozing is the key to efficient dozer work I was lost, once I learned it I used it on every push I possibly could. Now I can confidently say I can keep up with just about any situation. An old dozerhand once told me "push the dirt in front first" and while I didn't really get it at the time, eventually I learned that's the key to be efficient in any scenario.
I've got a video floating out there showing this but I need to remake it in a little more detail.
@@DieselandIron I find A LOT of operators that claim years of experience have zero idea how to do it properly. It's certainly a necessary skill!
After watching this, my passes got better and my corrections got a bit smoother. I’m only an apprentice and I watch your videos because I want to improve my skills. Thanks a bunch! I’ve learned a lot from you.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for all the advice brother i wish some Forman at work could share some of that info and just don't lay you off because you know a little less
I'm happy to help! This business does a very poor job of passing down knowledge unless you find the right mentor. I'm working to try to change that
I did the same thing when I started running a dozer then I figured out to make smooth adjustments and to take smaller amounts at a time
All good things come with seat time
My boss has a cat d6rxl it gave me some trouble verses his d3k2xl because I couldn't see the bottom of the blade
Awesome video. New to dozing. Trying to cut a parking area in a field on a slope with hard clay in oklahoma. Can't seem to get it level and blade keeps digging in.
With clay you will want to take small bites. As you are seeing, the clay grabs the blade and pulls it down into the grade. If you are having a super hard time you can try adjusting the blade pitch with the turnbuckle at the top of the blade. Laying the blade back will help you not to dig because the back shoulder of the blade will help keep the blade up.
Do a grade/finish video
All the peaks make your next push easier
For me it felt like learning to drive a car. You always overcompensate in the beginning but eventually it just becomes natural
Talk about how to run a fill with 12 trucks coming from 3 track ho’s building pads that are all different elevations , swales and lots of different grades . Compaction, slopes , material … so much
Adding this question to my list of ideas for a Down & Dirty topic. Due to lack of time, I'm starting to take consulting calls on the side. If you'd be interested in that, shoot me a message at thatdiggerdude@gmail.com. Thanks for the support brother!
After my first day in a D8 my blood type changed from O- to D8+!!!!!
I'd love to get some seat time in some of the bigger dozers. The small ones are fun but I have a feeling running a D11 for a day would be a blast!
Am get interested in this training videos can I get training
We are batting around the idea of starting an online training curriculum. For now you get these videos!
Any videos for sloping ?
I don't have any out currently. I'm hopping on a dozer next week so I can put a video together. Anything you'd like to know in particular?
@@DieselandIron sloping with a dozer any basic tips or tricks to look out for anything you can spare it will help Thank you
@@angkriekouki I will record something this next week and get it up here in the next couple of weeks for you
hermoso
Don't let him fool you, Ohio is just as sloppy if not more. The weather here changes faster than a Husky's focus in a dog park
I'm in howell
Small world!
Dig deep & pile high lol..
😂😂 mane tell em how to drive it
You need a better camera
You ready to pony up some money?😉
When you have a good machine that everything is nice and tight smooth transition on the blade are easy to make.....but when you have a jalopy machine that everything wiggles on it then it's easier said than done, that's when you tell the boss...Dude if your going to take the surplus of what we all created to live large for you and your family and not buy a good machine to make work easier for your employees then stick this job where the sun don't shine. I'm not one to stay quite while I'm being raped at work
Omg . Man , You heart is in the right place .. but to teach Advance dozier techniques … your skipping so much . Only way u can learn to operate anything is to get in the seat .
True, but it also helps to watch other operators both in person and in videos.
@@DieselandIron absolutely! I find myself being watched all the time !
Dude be more realistic don't force a situation let it happen, then explain.
Ok
What do you mean?
