Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Struck Compact Crawler Dozer

rockytopper,

There is a point when a dozer is big enough to dig dirt and the hardest clay without rippers. Mine weights 40,000 pounds and it's big enough. I've run dozers under 20,000 pounds that could not dig clay. Somewhere between there is where you'll find the magic number. I don't know what it is.

Of course, when you get to the REALLY BIG dozers, they use there ripper for digging rock. Mine is way too small for that.
