Battle of the Bulldozers China Vs America!

What happens here

The presenter moves on to the LiuGong TD-16N crawler dozer, accompanied by Carlos, a representative from LiuGong. Carlos explains that the dozer's design offers excellent operator visibility from the cab, including clear views of the blade's corners. For maintenance, the cab can tilt back, providing full access to the main components, similar to a skid steer loader. The presenter also clarifies that while LiuGong is a Chinese company, this particular dozer's design is European, originating from Dresta in Poland, and even received a Red Dot Award for its design.

Goal: Present the LiuGong dozer, highlighting its visibility, maintenance access, and European design origin.

So, that's just a design feature, but here's where they eliminated 7 in, so they tucked this in 7 in to give the operator better line of sight. I have a special fondness for Case dozers in my heart, because my one of my favorite dozers was a Case 1150G, which I sold, but I thought they were great machines, but let's keep this show rolling. All right, guys, next up is the LiuGong, and I actually don't know if it's made in Qingdao, China, but it is not made in America. But, I'm going to walk you through all of these designs, and the guy's accent isn't the easiest to understand, but at least we're going to pull this information out of his head. Carlos, this is a LiuGong bulldozer. What can you tell me about it? >> Okay, cool. This is This is a very nice design because uh the the view inside the cab from the operator's seat, you can see everything, even the corners of of the blade. And uh another important thing is that uh for the maintenance, you can tilt back the the cab. And if you open together with a hood, you have full access to the main components of of the machine. >> So, the cab will tilt like the cab on a skid loader. >> Yes. >> Okay. I The thing that stopped me about the machine in the first place, Carlos, was I looked at the windshield and I'm like, holy crap, there is nothing obstructing the view of the operator >> Yeah, that's right. >> But, I have not been up inside of it yet to check it out. But, LiuGong, that name's been around for how long? Cuz it's not very familiar to a lot of people stateside. >> Yeah, LiuGong is a brand with 69 years old.

So, this thing is I absolutely got to be awesome then. >> Yeah, it's it's European design. And also got a uh award in in England 2 years ago, uh the Red Red Dot award uh because of the design. >> For this design of this dozer. Okay. Okay, so this is not a point to gloss over. Yes, this is called a LiuGong dozer and the majority of LiuGong equipment is made in China, except for this dozer. This dozer is actually made in the Stalowa Wola plant in Poland. And yeah, even though I'm Polish, I know I'm butchering that. This is Dressta dozers. So, this is a like a hybrid kind of a thing.
