I wonder if the skid steer has a "When I grow up I want to be a D11" bumper sticker??

The Blue Angels should have flown over at the climax.Ya I need a smoke now.

It was hard to put the size of the machines into perspective until the skid steer showed up lol

i just started playing on a d11,,hell fun,,every little boys dream hehehe,,love the little one come racing in hahahaha

something oddly satisfying about this video. been watching it over and over for years. first time i seen it i was in high school. now im 26 and a heavy equipment operator at a gold mine in northern canada. love my job, and love running the d8

this might be the best heavy-duty machinery video i have ever seen on youtube.... thank you youtube for putting this in my recommended videos after almost 10 years

Haven't heard much about reliability issues with D11's, but they're far more expensive to run per hour, whether it's working hard or idling along the U/C is wearing. You have to work a 11 at 100% all the time to make them pay. Other thing is the logistics of moving one, you can ship a 10 fully assembled on one truck, a 11 requires either disassembly or a double truck move. Around my area companies usually buy two D8s and work them as a team when they need a big push.
