$3000 R/C Bulldozer with Saw Blades

"Maybe in the future we'll have fleets of little mini bulldozers cleaning the trash our cities". Wall-E really did predict the future.

I am very impressed by the amount of product placement done in this video

8:01 use the T-34 strategy. Put the wider end of the pins facing inward, and weld a wedge to each side of the hull. The wedge will hammer the pins back in for you as you drive.

Dude, you have not seen "YouTube GOLD".. or you would know what those dozers are for. They are very powerful.. lots of torque

I know we were supposed to ponder the question of why the market for this mini-bulldozer exists, but after watching this video I think I am that market

It may be more like a toe-cutter or insect and squirrel killer than a lawnmower

Equipment operator here, that mini dozer is amazing. I know you think it's performance is underwhelming, but if you keep the scale in context, it's doing exactly the same amount of work as a full sized D6. Even in the big ones, you can't just dig that deep in hard soil, even the big ones get stuck. Exactly what this little thing was doing is how the big ones handle it, little by little. When you took it to the gravel heap and it collected half a blade in the first push and kept rolling it, you'd be surprised how easily that exact same scenario will make a 25 ton D6 skate like it's on ice. That little thing is cool as hell, but I can't justify paying that much for it, yeah I want my kid to be as obsessed with machinery as I am, but I just grew up around mechanics and machinery, my kids can do the same, they don't need ridiculously expensive toys to fall in love with machinery, but it is extremely cool and I do wish I was in a financial position where I could buy stuff like this and not think about the price.

the slow mo b roll shots with the out of place pop edm are chef's kiss

inwards rotation may cause more problems, but you gotta admit it's fun watching stuff get sucked in, then launched into space by the scoop behind the blades

Felt like I needed eye and ear protection just watching it. Great work and entertaining content composition. Thank you.

8:32 brother this Camera made YouTube Compression on a 1080p iPhone 8+ look GOOD. I can’t imagine what it would look like on a 4K monitor.

I like how daniel was like "Okay this thing didn't work like i wanted, how can i make it dangerous"

Theres some guy building an armored komatsu in his barn, watching this and thinking "thats a good idea..."

The mini bulldozer work montage warmed my heart

Imagine those construction dudes coming back to their site the next day and seeing super small bulldozer tracks lol

Tanks with loose track pins have a keeper, a ramp or angled piece that pushes all the pins that moved back in. It was located at the top front where the body or skirts start. This is an intentional design to have them free and they didn't move much in one rotation anyway. Simple rod design, they didn't even knurl the ends.

for your metal shop: There are mini lathe. They aren't cheap but they work, don't take up a ton of space and incredible fun to learn on.

To hold those pins in place use green locktite, also known as "fixing compound" if you want them to stay in.

You are an amazing engineer.

Having only seen the thumbnail so far, this could figuratively never go wrong.
