Dozer like Cat D8

[Seilbagger]

Hello,

this is my first dozer, its not scale but i tried to get it like Cat D8. There is something to do, i will change to metal tracks and the motor to lift the blade will changed to faster.

very cool what motors did you use? the only thing i see is the blade is a lil slow but all in all it works good good job i like the older stuff

[RCP57]

I saw your build on another forum. I'm happy to see that you posted here as well! It's a very nice machine!

Oh, I like it much better now that you put it back to the cable setup too!

Great looking dozer!

[Seilbagger]

Hello,

thanks for the compliments. I have used two RB35:200 to drive the tracks, and a motor with gear box to lift the blade. This motor is to slow and i will change it. The next step is to build tracks in metal, because the power is to high for this tracks.

In this video you can see the dozer working together with the Menck M90 backhoe.

The new video looked great and it looks like the machine is performing very well now. The speed is right on and the power it has is great for its size. I really like how this dozer turned out.

Amazing ! What a difference with the blade speed :cool: Looks like its a lot easier to operate now too. Faster all around.
Very nice work. Now you need to find a little man to put in the seat. :):)

[rockNmayhem]

The new speed does look like it opperates much smoother and has pretty good traction in the dirt as well. Awaiting new videos of it in action too.

Hey Tyler,

i will do so. The only problem: a nine minute video needs the whole night for uploading. So thats german kind of web connection :D

Hello,

the dozer (and now with driver) drives down the loader

Looks great with the little guy at the controls ! :):). Thanks for the great videos, love the ground level perspective.:cool:

Mario

[Seilbagger]

Hi Mario,

thanks. What else can i do? I have the same problem as many other modellers: At the first videos, my wife took the camera, but she is not amused to assist me. Therefore i put the camera to a tripod and thats the reason of this kind of videos.

[Seilbagger]

Hello,

a video produced with new camera in HD quality

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

[Scottyboy436]

Where abouts did you get the tracks from?

[Seilbagger]

Where abouts did you get the tracks from?

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.

[Seilbagger]

Hello all,

new pictures of the dozer

That really does look good. :cool:

What's your total investment in that?

[RCP57]

It looks really good! With or without the conopy!

[Seilbagger]

Hello all,


thanks for compliments.

I believe the total investment is lower than 500 $

Nice video! ;)

[Rvjimd]

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

[Seilbagger]

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.

[Arnd]

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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bv0mc9eJadM)
You can see your D8 is realy near to the big one.

[Seilbagger]

Thanks Neil and Arnd,

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

[JAMMER]

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

[Seilbagger]

Hello all,

thanks for compliments.

Here are some vids showing transportation the dozer with Henschel and Scheuerle loader

Hello all,

unloading the dozer

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

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

Hi Neil,

i've built this a few years ago, will restore it and make some changes

[tracksntreadslou]

Wolfgang this is a great dozer and works well too ..good job..I once Ran an old D8 with cable blade ...I can imagine what those operators in those days had to deal with ..Now adays if the air conditioner breaks on their machine they refuse to run it ..lol ..Keep those cool videos coming

Thank you very much, a compliment from you, thats great to me.

I'm a great fan of your TD25

[modelman]

Seilbagger-I have seen a few dozer loadings that went almost like this. I had to laugh a little but your dozer looks and works great! One of my favorites. If I ever built a dozer it would be a cable dozer.

[Seilbagger]

Thanks modelman, we are all waiting....,lol
