Hello all,

i have changed some parts and i think it looks better than before. New blade for better pushing and the weight is now 4,6 Kg (former 3,6 Kg)

Very cool machinery, all of it! That cat really pushes the dirt around with all authority. That Menck crane-dragline works well too. Good stuff!!!! Dan

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Where abouts did you get the tracks from?

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

I bought them at www.ip-modellbau.de


But i will change them this year (i hope so) to metal, because the dozer is not able to put the whole power into the ground.

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

That really does look good. :cool:

What's your total investment in that?

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

It looks really good! With or without the conopy!

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Hello all,


thanks for compliments.

I believe the total investment is lower than 500 $

Nice video! ;)

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Wolfgang,

Nice job on the dozer. Did you have good pictures or plans for the build? Did you make all the parts from scratch? Like pulleys for the rope lift and undercarriage?

Thanks for the videos,

Jim

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Hi Jim,

some pics of building. I had no plans, only pictures. Therefore i named this "Dozer like Cat D8". All selfmade, frame in aluminum, cab in steel

Cool! I like the "build" pictures!
Cheer's, Neil.

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Hi Wolfgang, looks cool,
do you know there is a D8 near by in in your area? Every April at the "Kippertreffen" in Geilenkirchen you can see it working. In the DAVIDS gravel-pit.D8 at work
You can see your D8 is realy near to the big one.

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Thanks Neil and Arnd,

yes i know the D8 in the vid of Geilenkirchen, very nice machine. Next times i will visite this meeting.

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Hello Wolfgang do the tracks still make the noise like the real dozer? That alone made your build special. Ed

Hello all,

unloading the dozer

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

and loading the dozer (it seems, the operator was drunken)

Re: Dozer like Cat D8
 

Slippery trailer decks make it difficult to load!
I've slid off of a tilt deck before, makes for an exciting ride!
Nice trailer!
Cheer's, Neil.
