Balderson dozers - - - and a Cat 630B wheel dozer.

Hi, Folks.
Here is a link to a video clip on Youtube about Balderson dozers. This one features the Cat 630B wheel dozer right at the start, along with some other stuff. There are several other Bladerson videos there as well.

Happy viewing.

Hi Boss,

I don’t know about you….you keep digging up old memories…like running in to an old girlfriend.

I never feed coal at a power plant with a Balderson, but have feed mean yards of material with a D9 and Balderson to a movable belt loader with 60” belt. One contractor in this area at one time had a Balderson on their Quad Nine feeding the same type of belt loader now that was quite a show. Here a couple of pictures of one on an old D9 at a power plant close to where I live. They sold this one and a friend of mine bought it…..very cheap.

Thanks for posting the videos and keep up the good work.
Kelly

Hi, Kelly.
Methinks it'd be hard NOT dredge up old memories for you. I heard somebody say only last week that Ben Holt hired you as the test operator when he converted old #77. Mind you, I think they did say that you were only a 'boy' then. Is that true? LOL.

Thanks for the photos and you're welcome to the memories.
