Those mine blasts are really something. I was a distance away from one once when I didn't know it was going to happen. Startled the bejeezus out of me.
Cool!

Why are new dozers sporting the drive wheel high and forward of the lower idler wheels. I've asked a few buddies that operate same machinery stateside and have never received a satisfactory answer.

Very cool!
Must be nice.
Matt, I think it's to get the drive line out of the mud and and crap. Not sure though.

Hi Matt and Aaron. Here's a link to a site that can explain all the tech stuff better than I could. Caterpillar D7H High Drive My training consisted of someone showing me how to do a pre-trip and what the controls did. The bosses last words were "Don't put any trucks over the dump"

Nice capture of those deer Geo, did you by chance crop that close up or have you good magnification on the camera. Also couldn't imagine driving that dozer I'd be scared it would run away with me.

Hey Vic. I just bought a Canon Rebel T3 that came with 2 lenses. The one I used was the 55-250. The 3 deer in the top photo are in the bottom photo on the left using full zoom. Terry..the worst part for me was pushing the loads over the berm.(See pic below) The night after I was on the dump, another dozer driver watched the berms disappear to the bottom.
A really badly spliced panoramic forward view from the seat.
This shows how far you'll bounce if you back over the berm.
Phase 3 from Phase 4
Snow storm coming
Snow storm going
Trying to be creative

Thanks BikerBabe

Excellent shots Geo!!! I have an old XSi Rebel and love it but it's starting to give up. After 16,000 photos I can't blame it. Been looking at the T3i.

Thanks Aaron. Forgot these on my other camera.
Learned lots of colorful words trying to co-ordinate the buttons
When working, the dozer is run a full RPM. To slow down, you push down on the decelerator, more choice words
Dashboard is basic...
...as most of the info is here

Interesting. Takes awhile to get use to doesn't it?
Cool shots....
