Adapting Dozers: Changes to mid-size and larger models, make them more versatile, productive
Construction equipment manufacturers typically answer customer demands by making equipment more versatile, durable and productive. That’s fine for skid steers and toolcarriers, but what about purpose-built machines? Dozers, for example. There’s no market for dozer-mounted augers. No one uses a dozer for snow removal. If a dozer’s primary applications are to push dirt and grade, […]

DOZERS REDEFINED: How electronics and machine control made mid-size dozers smarter
There’s a direct correlation between power and fuel consumption; more power requires more fuel. Higher injection pressures, careful design of the piston and combustion chamber, turbocharging and other mechanical ploys improve combustion efficiency and help ensure maximum power is extracted from each unit of fuel, but they don’t change the fundamentals. More power still requires […]
