Check out mining mayhem on IG. Good stuff there

It's the gearing and weight that make a dozer powerful. I've worked first hand with D-11s around me, and they are incredible machines.

You all laugh, but one time I was young, dumb, and just did what people told me to do.

In this regard, I found myself pulling a grain auger on a much-too-small flat deck trailer. The trailer was maybe 10ft long by 6 ft wide, so we put one wheel of the grain auger on the deck, and one on the external tail light of the trailer which was relatively sturdy. 'are you sure this is a good idea?' 'fuck it, she'll go. Just go slow'

So I start driving. No immediate problems. Turns out that going down a major, winding hill at the 100 km posted speed limit is not a good idea with an awkward load. It's also a pretty interesting time to figure out that if you brake, you make the trailer sway worse. Hmm so speed up it is! Started at the top of the hill at about 90 km/hr and came out for it at about 120 km/hr. Lol.

And that's just one of the times I shoulda died! Whee.

This is also why I mentor the fuck out of any junior I work with. too many stories like this.
