Creating a digital model
I've operated a Trimble equipped dozer for 5 yrs but have never got into creating the digital model for plugging into the system. All I've ever done is put the card in the display. Can anyone give an explanation of how the paper plan is digitized to a card and what the cost of doing it is.- D6RXW_GPS

D7R Bad Operator?
I'm glad I found this topic. It always sticks in my craw when I see an operator, new or old, beating around in 3rd gear. The company just put a complete undercarriage on the 6R that I've been running for 4yrs. Right now we're on a job that occasionally runs a night shift, so the other morning... -

John Deere 850B dozer?
One more thing. It is a huge pain in the hindquarters to shovel tracks out on this machine. Worked stripping out a cattail marsh once and by the time the stems and muck got entwined in the UC the last hour and a half of the day was spent on my knees in the peet muck cleaning the damn tracks. No... -

John Deere 850B dozer?
The company I work for had 2 850's. It seem's to me that for LGP work they were great, would handle most anything soft and mushy. Didn't have reversible fan and no EROP's so when the thermometer dropped below 50 it became very cold. I had to run in a windchill once that was below zero and spent... -

cab comfort
I don't know It seems to me the temperature control knob on the dash must be there for a reason, but when I think about it, I don't believe it's been doing a hell of alot in the winter when the heater is on either. I've tried cracking the water valve in by the engine, but it doesn't take much... -

cab comfort
I've got a problem with the air conditioner on the 6R. The temperature out put control doesn't have any effect on the air, so it's full bore freezing (this thing would make a great beer cooler) until I shut it off for a few minutes to let the windows clear and my teeth stop chattering. Anybody... -

Grade Control Systems
How Fast? I'm working at a landfill cell with some really boney material at subgrade. It ranges from baked potatoe size rocks to sand and silt. My problem is trying to run as fast as I can and maintain .1 tolerance. I've played with valve speeds (it's a Trimble Sitevision system) but I still... -

Grade Control Systems
Choppy grade control The D6 I run has a Trimble Sitevision system. It just had new tracks put on and since then when I switch to AUTO the blade starts doing the tomahawk chop. If I run faster it setlles down a little but if I don't have much dirt in front of the blade it can be bad. Do I need... -

''steep slopes on dozers''
I've been working on slopes for the last couple monthes that range from 2.8 up to 1.5 to 1. It's an old gravel pit that's being converted to condo housing and we're sloping down the remaining face which is about 80' high and up to 90' wide for the fill. I'm on a 6RXW and have had trouble staying... -

tracks
Track Pads How many hours should a set of grouser pads last? I'm on a D6R with 5800 hrs and the pads are getting dog eared. The undercarriage was done last year at 3600 hrs with new rails. I've been in some very rocky old gravel pits most of this year with it but I keep hearing that shouldn't...
