Subject: RE: dozer vs crawler loader


sw corner ia.
once you get big tree down, strip off all the limbs with bucket, sweep all that in a heap away from trunk, now go scratch off all the dirt with your bucket teeth. This is where half the weight of that tree is. now roll it over till the rest of the dirt comes off. if it is a really large tree (about double what yours was) cut the stump off so you can pile up the rest.

20 ton track loader can clear about as fast as same size dozer, but the loader will make a pile that is pretty tall and free of dirt. grading with an 8' bucket is pretty slow no matter who runs it. loader is made to carry, not push. really good for basements where you need to pack the floor as you come to grade and put all the piles clear outside where it will be needed for the backfill. excavator will remove it faster but cannot polish it off, nor move dirt over about 30'.

lot more stuff to wear out on loader linkage than a dozer blade.

cheaper in the long run to just hire it done. when the contractor leaves, the headaches will too.
