Haters gonna hate. Who cares if you're not operating the bulldozer properly? You got it to run, restored it, and you're the ones using it.

[caterpillar941b]

@Psychlonic if you dont run it proper you can hurt the engine as well ass the other components

Great video but frustrating to watch the operator move so slowly.

very nice

[alvie2]

great job of backblading.. you could have raised the blade a little higher a couple of times though.

[jonkox36]

why dont you find someone who knows how to run a dozer...i have owned a dozer service for 20 years now and i would have fired the guy running that 7 10 mins after he got on it

[rgvrrm]

As has been said before, we would welcome you to post up some videos of YOU operating a dozer to show us how its done. We are always willing to learn. The proof is in the videos as I have owned a computer for over 20 years and have seen a lot of people that shouldn't be running a keyboard. Makes me wonder...

[caterpillar941b]

@rgvrrm i will post some vids of our d7g when we begin logging again

[glen8544]

@jonkox36 im on your side. ive been around a lot of equipment as well as my dad. looks like a bunch of a kids were turned loose and dont know what they are doing. what is the deal with that "excavator". its about time to upgrade that isn't it. it looks very unefficient and it looks like the operator cant even run it right. plus, when you run equipment, run it full throttle. that guy running the dozer is costing the company money when he is only runnin it at half throttle. it goes alot slower.

ex military d7e

[rgvrrm]

Yes it is. The R&GVRRM purchased it as surplus, replace the diesel engine and repainted it back to its original Cat color.

I would love to watch the Bucyrus Erie Excavator work!!!

[rgvrrm]

We'll see what we can do to get more footage posted up in the coming year. I am sure it will see more use this spring/summer.

[delmontcrusier]

I like those old cat dozers cat made some good equipment.I havn't been on eqipment in quite some time. I have a class B cdl collecting dust as well.That is quite the project none the less.

[rgvrrm]

Thanks! We like them too! We hope to also have our '50s vintage Cat D8 dozer in the dirt this fall as well to help out our D7E. The D8 recently received a new to us blade and should be great for pushing the large amounts of dirt we have to move.
