It depends on what you're going to do with it, cutting grade for a large building pad the dozer would be quicker. Smaller pads for small buildings a skid loader would be better.
I'd rather do building pads of any size with a skidloader because you can get better compaction with one over a dozer. Plus a nicer, smoother, more level top to work on. Makes the builders job just that much easier.
The last building pad we done, we had an soil engineer test it with his penetrometer and it tested 5000psi. That was on 7ft of fill. He was impressed we were able to get it that high.

Are tracked Skidsteers as good as a small dozer?
