There is a program called Ax Men on the History Channel. One of the loggers on there, Aqua Logging, is using an old IH dozer to pull old logs out of the river in Oregon(or maybe it Washington). This looks to be a fairly small dozer, but it's bigger than the T-340. Anybody know what model dozer this is??

I have been watching the AxMen since the series started 2 seasons ago. This season I noticed the IH dozer (my wife too!) at first sight. I too do not know the model but am curious. I have seen them have to fog it with starting fluid every time they start it (not good).

I have seen several of the Ax Men programs although not this particular one.
My gripe is most of the footage showing machines working is filmed in "fast motion". They show big machines racing around trying to beat some deadline. I sent the producers an email complaining that they are sending the wrong message to young people who may be interested in getting into this line of work someday.
Machines should be operated cautiously and safely and portrayed as such.

Just started watching the show a week ago. Kinda neat show. Got tired of the crab fisherman. Got real tired of the chopper guys. Tired of all the mean spirited arguments. I know its just for show for the tv but still...
Can't stand the jerk running aqua logging. His poor son. Someone needs to find him a real job and house and get him away from his old man and his 100 grand worth of deadwood. Don't know where the kid's mother is but no woman could live with his dad.
Kinda getting tired of the logger treating the new guy like dirt who just walked off the job the other day. Haven't they ever heard of safety training. OSHA would be all over them. Must pay some hefty work comp insurance.
I suppose I'm watching old shows made from last year since it has barely turned spring but I'm waiting for that new helicopter pilot to kill a couple guys too. No way I'd stand under that bozo and his chopper.
By the way, that guy's dozer is the best piece of equipment he owns. Too bad he don't know how to use it and how to get a log out of the river. Everything else is ready for the scrap pile.

What I can't understand is how the owners of the companies let them film this crap with all the safety violations. OSHA will be all over them at some point and it will be costly.
You are right, all the industrial shows which portray poor planning, rushing to meet unnecessary deadlines, send the wrong message to young people. Certainly there is a lot of "drama" in getting a crop in before a rain, finishing a job before a deadline, etc. but the key is it must be done safely and sanely. Wrecking a piece of equipment to finish in a hurry never pays off. It would be like racing to work with your oil light on and burning up your engine before you get there. You are still late and now you need a new engine. Knowing when to proceed and when to shut down takes experience and a cool head. The operators in these shows seem to have neither and are either not the owners, are ruining companies they inherited, or are just actors.

The guy that runs Aqua Logging has been nailed with a huge fine ($100,000 I think) for puling logs out of the Hoquiam River without a permit. Turns out the charges were filed after someone at the state permitting office saw him pulling out the logs on the show.

It's a TD9-B with a D or DT 282 engine. If it's direct drive it's a DT-282 and if a power shift a D-282. The dozer is not the dozer that came on TD9-B's, so maybe it was an ag crawler with an aftermarket dozer, if that's the case, it's probably direct drive. They were starting it with starting fluid, a no no for 236 and 282's as they have glow plugs. The looks of that operation, they don't know what glow plugs are.
