looks brave to me i meen thats one hell of a drop hes backing up to and looks hard to rip whats the smoke comming from the ripper ? is that friction ? looks like a tough days work good job good video
@jeryl68 thanks for the kind words buddy. the smoke is sillicone dust & caused by friction & is not good for the lungs. & yep it is a hard days work & the bosses & owners have no idea what so ever how tough it is on the operators.
This guy really knows what he is doing and it is a pleasure to watch a true operator that takes pride in what he is doing. Great ripper angle, putting the point to work, acts like a wedge not a plow. Plowing is great for tough soil not rock. Most of all, this work tears up a machine and with an operator that doesn't care you will have tons of Cat scrap iron in no time. But with this guy, I would say this dozer will be aroung for a long time. Go Man Go...
@busajohnny thanks for the kind words buddy. he's as good as anyone iv seen ripping hard shit. i personally laugh to myself wen i see so called gunns rip tear bust & get nothing done trying to rip with the shank out & with blunt boots.
I've ran D9H and D10 in poorly shot sandstone. Ripped with the D10. This has got to be the toughest application for heavy equipment there is. Ripping is harder on the operator (and machine) than pushing. Eddie seems to know what he is doing. Very little track spin, engine is under a load, and some big stuff is being ripped loose. Eddie's not afraid of the edge either. Stay safe. Great video, thanks.
@c931D9 thanks for the kind words. it takes a skilled operator to do this kind of work & make the boss a dollar but boy isnt their some cowboy operators [drivers] out there .
@florin171 thanks for subbing mate.the komatsu 375 in the background is mine & is no match to the D11.answer to your question is a tough 1.komatsu 375 v D10N&R & 475 v D11 I would give the nod to the komatsu for ripping but CATS are faster pushing dirt & scrapers.
Frontrow, I hope the bosses there at TRN understand what a top notch OPERATOR they have employed at your quarry Bud. The money he is saving them in running costs is huge. My old man would have hired him in a heartbeat and he had very high standards and didn't see the funny side of dickheads on his machines. Your videos are awesome mate
Mate what ever that company is paying Eddie ,they should double it. He is saving them twice that in track gear alone. He is one of the best rippers of the hard shit I have seen. P.S Is that at East Kurrajong Frontrow?..Great vid Bud
@brocparsons thanks for the kind words buddy i agree with you 100%. ive been around for a while now & seen a lot & eddie ranks up with the best ive seen in hard shit. quarrys at brownlow hill just west of camden & is owned by TRN group.
There you go would be ripping operators, exactly how it should be done, throttle control and skill especially working on that edge, super nice touch getting the parked up Komatsu in the frame frontrow!!! Sounds like some exhaust work coming up soon too
