These have been in use in Japan for a long time. I lived in Japan in the 70's along the coast near Zushi . There was an old guy who had one of these machines and he would drive it up and down the beach from town to town cleaning out these mooring areas for the local fishermen. It was a lot of fun to watch.

Lots of people are saying that this is too slow or the wrong way to do it, that dredging would be better. But Japan only has a limited number of dredgers available. After the tsunami they had hundreds of harbours this size to repair and nowhere near enough machines to do it. Especially since many of those dredgers were also wrecked by the tsunami. So they did what the Japanese often do: they got creative and adapted what they had to hand. I think these machines are another fantastic example of Japanese ingenuity.

The D155W was introduced in 1971 and was the first amphibious bulldozer, a development of the first radio-controlled bulldozer which was introduced in 1967. One went to Chernobyl in the late 1980s. I wonder how many of the early '70s ones are still going?

I'm right there with you. Dubai is probably a huge customer, with their reclamation projects of the sand shaped development and others planned and some completed, and visible from space. The time below is way too long to dive a day's worth, but why is the controller operator walking. Hell I'd be in a swivel easy chair, sippin suds, and doing wheelies. The only thing close to this in the fun factor, ,is the John Deere 764 HSD (High Speed Dozer). The coolest thing about it, is not the ease, (although put a rookie in in the morning, and he's a star by lunch with the toys attached auto leveling via gps etc) so much than the fact that it no longer tears up your fine grading by turning. Off topic possibly but still relevant to cool dozers, and exclusive abilities. This thing has got to be busy making deep water docks in rich neighborhoods like on the Inter Coastal Waterway in Fl.

When a hurricane rolls through an area and takes much of the beach out to sea they pay crews to come in with regular dozers and push sand back to shore. This happens often on tourist beaches in Florida. You get around a year out of the machine then it is so eat up with salt that they scrap it and buy a new one. Bilge pump dredgers will be ate up by the salt as well. Bilge pump dredges work well but there has to be a reason for doing it this way. Either they save time or money or the final product is better. I live on a tiny lake (see large pond) that filled up with silt from upstream construction. The contractor had pay to clean it out and the crew that did the work used tracked dump trucks and excavators.
