DigzBig:The D11 works fast requiring only one pass to remove the remaining center ridge. The entire upper plateau was leveled within a week despite the dozer responding to other jobs in the pit when required.
Mega Machine: Actually no. It would have taken more than one pass to remove the material from the center ridge because much of it went off to either side of the blade as the dozer made the pass. The center ridge was a product of what is called "slot dozing" which allows the dozer to push more material ahead without losing it off the sides of the blade.
