Caterpillar D9

So, the lever on the right will let you open the throttle further for more power, if you need it? And the steering levers disengage clutches on each track, instead of differential braking? And is the brake pedal actually a brake, or does that disengage a main clutch or something? For that matter, does it even have clutch, or is the tranny automatic? I notice you can shift gears on the fly. Is that like an automatic clutch, or is it a hydraulic transmission? Looks like fun, anyway!

Nice video--is there an approximate hourly cost associated with running a machine like this, taking into account maintenance, fuel, wear, etc. Thanks for posting ;-)
