3 excavators, 2 dozers team up to move 100-year, 518k-lb. tree to new home

Who knew an old tree could make for such a fun video? According to the YouTube description for this video, in 2012, League City, Texas, officials decided to finance the relocation of the Ghirardi Compton Oak, a 56-foot-tall tree that is more than 100 years old with a beautiful canopy that is more than 100 […]

Caterpillar D10T takes on The Mountain from ‘Game of Thrones’ in a heartwarming tug of war

Ever wonder just how strong the guy who plays The Mountain in the HBO series Game of Thrones is? Apparently strong enough to stop the giant Cat D10T in its tracks. Now, while this latest installment in Cat’s Built For It trials is certainly more storybook than field test, we do see strongman Hafthór Júlíus Björnsson’s […]

Dozer tumbles from ramp in platform collapse

There’s only so many times a thinner, deteriorating piece of metal can support a hunk of very heavy metal and the dozer operator in the video below has found that limit. Probably doing something he’s done a thousand times before, the operator backs his machine up what looks to be, at best, a very sketchy […]

3 dozers pull upended excavator and a bunch of gear up a ridiculous rocky grade

No. 10 Video of 2015 « Intro No. 9 »   What do you do when you’ve got a crapload of gear to move and an incredibly steep and rocky grade in front of you? If you’re this crew you chain every dozer at your disposal together, throw the skid onto an excavator bucket and […]

Tightrope-walking dozer operator likely the only one dumb enough to ever try it

No. 7 Video of 2015 « No. 8 No. 6 »   As if heavy equipment operation weren’t dangerous enough by itself—especially in Russia—why not throw in a tightrope? In what we have to assume is a Russian TV talent show of some sort, a dozer operator is tasked with crossing from one giant pile […]

Watch a tag team of giant dozers compact, crush a mobile home in seconds

Every once in a while it’s fun to sit back and enjoy just how powerful the machines we love can be.In the video below, a pickup truck and then a 45-foot mobile home are put in the path of Komatsu’s D575A Super Dozer and the results are messy. Though it’s always fun to see a good […]

Semi hauling a dozer jackknifes, sends dozer tumbling

Backing up can be difficult. Especially when you’re backing a semi down a slope with a bulldozer trailered. This particular driver gets moving a bit too fast down the slope, the trailer jackknifes and everyone’s week is pretty much ruined in a matter of seconds. Seems like he would have benefitted from Ford’s new whiz-bang […]

Cat D10 dozer and a loader rescue stuck 70-ton dumper like it’s no big deal

No. 6 Video of 2015 « No. 7 No. 5 »   Due to the sheer power of the D10T, this rescue is one of the most uneventful we’ve seen yet. That 777D was in major trouble though, stuck in a very muddy spot on the roadside and with only single tires on the back (the […]

Dozer drops from trailer while being hauled, flies head-on into traffic

Since this insanity was captured via a dashcam, we have to assume it happened in Russia. And with that in mind, it feels weird to type what I’m about to type: I am in awe of how well the drivers in this video operated with unthinkable tons of yellow iron hurtling directly toward them. See, typically these […]

Bucking roller operator hangs on for dear life when dozer helps a bit too much

The ways people can make loading up a piece of heavy equipment much more dangerous than it has to be never cease to amaze. Much like last week, we’ve got a dozer shoving another piece of equipment in order to help load it up. But this week we’ve got a roller and a ramp up […]

Crane collapses into water after dozer shoves it onto barge that doesn’t stay put

How this didn’t end in someone being very badly injured is a miracle. As you’ll see in the video below, this crew is loading a crane onto a barge by pushing it along with a dozer. Everything is fine until the barge starts moving—without the crane fully on board. The crane goes for a swim […]
