Default Re: First build ,cat D11

Some more pushing today, came to the conclusion after the great constructive criticism that even the best machines will preform ill in mud. I was hoping that the dirt on top of my pile would be dry enough to test out the new blade and cutting edge but the soil was just too wet. Tracks fill with mud just by driving. I think this week I'll bring over some dirt that is more like sand. We have some piles of really good topsoil, pasture soil, sand and clay/shale stuff. I'm thinking for the toys the sandy stuff might be more fun to play in. ? And in the comparison of that d9, yes it's a true work of art but I'm on 1:14 scale and his 1:10 scale 97 pounder will definitely out push mine. One of these days when the soil is dry I'll get some good pushing video, and not just trying to get a full blade in 6 inches of travel.
