Clay hauling in the Ozarks supplies KT3406E's diesel soundtrack
The week's only new upload puts a Caterpillar D400E Series II articulated dump truck to work in the hills.

Caterpillar 3406E Powered D400E II Haul Truck Hauling Clay In the Ozarks
An exhaust pipe can apparently hold an audience for an entire video. That's one viewer's amused observation beneath KT3406E's new clay-hauling upload, where the conversation is as much about the sound of the machinery as the job it does.
"Caterpillar 3406E Powered D400E II Haul Truck Hauling Clay In the Ozarks" follows a Cat articulated dump truck hauling clay through hilly terrain. It has reached about 76,000 views, with most of that audience arriving in its first day. Viewers single out the turbo whine and the engine braking on the inclines; a retired underground nickel-mine equipment operator says the footage brings back memories of running Cat machinery. Another proposes this diesel soundtrack for a wedding playlist.
The new truck video is drawing daily views at almost the same pace as "Caterpillar 365C Excavator vs. 80,000+ Pound Boulder," posted more than five months ago. That older outing pairs a Cat excavator with a track loader to pull a huge rock from the ground. The recent repair of a Caterpillar 3508 V8 that wasn't running on all its cylinders also remains active, giving the channel a mix of troubleshooting and machines earning their keep.
KT3406E added roughly 1,000 subscribers over the week, while today's viewing pace is slightly below its usual level. Its weekly views were close to those of Erik Johnston and Sporty's Pilot Shop, though FarFlight had a substantially busier week. Here, the distinctive detail is less a grand announcement than a working diesel whose exhaust note gets its own wedding request.
