Liberty, MO | Can a person use a power shift for continuous load, I would think the power shift would get hot, just guessing. I think the farmers in the north west that use crawlers, use stick shift. Just guessing, I have a D6D power shift myself, like to know the truth here. |

Ea. Washington | Put it in a gear it will pull it and go. They didn't put that drawbar on the back just for looks. |

Columbia Basin, Ephrata, WA | Rippers are an option on about every dozer built. If they can pull rippers they can pull a disk.

Texas | I put 3 SCV's on a D7H and used it to pull a 30' mulch finisher and also a 10 bottom JD 3710 moldboard plow. I also pulled a 5 shank 512 ripper.
If you have doubts then keep a sharp eye on the transmission temp. If it stays in range you are fine. |

| Used a Cat 953 to pull a 12' Rome stump disc without any problems. |

Central Ga | I have pulled one about that size with a John Deere 450C. |

| In lots of experience at working on dozers and operating them, a dozer transmission is not designed to pull continuously like that. When you push forward with a load and then back up is when the transmission has a chance to cool off. If you continuously pull it forward it will overheat the oil and burn the clutches and break the oil down and wont lube the clutch packs good enough. In my opinion, I would find a track tractor to do what you are wanting done if it is tires that you are worrying about. |

| What happened to the rowquads? Thought they were the best thing since sliced bread? |

Ohio | Our tile contractor puts between 2-3 million feet of tile a year with a old fiat-allis dozer and a zor tile plow on the back of it. Don't think it would hurt to pull a disk. |

Wallis, TX | If that is a rental dozer I would try it. Your dozer, IDK, those tracks don't last long pulling, especially if you go fast and the side pull of an offset makes it even worse. We pulled some Rome disks in Ghana with the D-7R's and that was an EXPENSIVE trip over the field, as it took lots of life out the tracks. |

Is that a powershift or gears? Out here in CA, farming with dozers was and is still somewhat common. However, all farm dozers or direct gear drive, not powershift. Most ads specify the transmission even in their ads. I know a guy with a D8K that will do some ripping, but has to watch as if he is at it too long, it will over heat the powershift. There are many D8K's direct drive that have 20,000 plus hours ripping. |

South Texas | Im gonna guess that's a hydrostat. I've root plowed plenty thousands of acres with deere hydros, constant full load, seldom over 110f here but if coolers kept clean they don't overheat. That said I think a 850 case is 650 deere size and not sure how hard your disc pulls, if it's a worn down rome it may just stop. Undercarriage is cheaper than tires, and it doesn't accidentally die. Once in my early days of operating I was told "you can't break the dozer", still holds true mostly. Also run farm tractors on the root rake and rome plow at times, killed surprisingly few tires, but you can break the tractor. Once tried a track tractor about one round on the rake, it will grab a root between the track and wheel, and pull it and whatever mess is attached up and rip the fender off. |

NW central IL | pull a tile plow with a d6r, powershift, no heat issues at all. as long as the dozer stays moving under load its think the oil would stay cool if its in good condition. |

Dozer pulling disc?
