I think you're crazy to try it yourself. During summers between college years I ran a dozer a little working at a gravel pit. The experienced guys pull manouvers and inclines where a normal person will die trying, especially if the dozer has high tracks. Add the experience of "ripping" rocks, it would make an interesting experiment. With clear flat land, sure...try it. If you have trees, roots, rocks, and hills...leave it to the pro's. The combination of gas/torque/leverage is fun to watch.
