Guide to Choosing the Perfect Bulldozer

Bulldozers are mainly used for pushing through large quantities of soil in a short time and for grading, spreading, and clearing. A dozer with automated features, ergonomic design, and hydraulics could be the machine you trust for years to come!

To help you make the best choice for your workplace, the following information has been put together to help you get the right dozer for your needs.

 

Bulldozer


Crawler and wheeled


Dozers are available in both tracked and wheeled versions. Crawler dozers offer greater traction and are popular in construction and agricultural locations. Tracks make it easier to work on moving and irregular terrain. Another advantage of the tracked type is the earth splitter mounted on the rear end, making it more suitable for demolition and soil removal.

 

Size


Larger bulldozers, although they will provide more energy output, are more difficult to transport and store. Therefore, to choose the right dozer, you should know what it is intended to do and how much space is available for the dozer.

 

Blades


There are many different types of dozer blades and the right blade can have a significant impact on Jobsite performance and quality of work. Below we have listed a few types of blades for your consideration.

 

PAT blades


The Power Angle Tilt (PAT) blade is the most popular type of blade for medium and small dozers as it offers more versatility and is suitable for general dozing and finish grading.

 

U-blades


The complete U-blade includes large flanks that create a pocket in the blade to provide greater load-bearing capacity. For general and rock-type applications, the semi-U-blade is the most popular. In high volume and downhill dozing, the full U-blade offers higher performance due to its better load-bearing capacity.

 

S-blades


The S-blade or straight blade is used on large medium bulldozers and above and is the shortest of the bulldozer blades. the S-blade can tilt the blade forward for aggressive cutting and backward for more efficient blade carrying.

 

Buffer blades


Buffer blades are very specialized narrow blades and are usually only used on large dozers. They are usually used to push the loading scraper.

 

Six-way blades


Six-way blades offer increased blade maneuverability for a wide range of applications. Slope control supports experienced operators in maintaining a consistent slope throughout the day and allows novice operators to get up to speed quickly.

 

Bulldozer


Cabs


The cab is not only about operator comfort, but also about productivity. A cab with an isolated, pressurized environment limits the impact of noise, dust, and vibration on the operator in the field. If you are working in extreme weather, you may want to check taxis with air conditioning and heaters.

 

Joystick


A good joystick gives you greater precision and maneuverability, allowing you to control steering, direction, speed, and transmission, and simplifies navigation. In addition, a good joystick also helps you to save fuel as you can adjust the engine speed as required.

 

Landing gear


Before you buy a dozer, consider the type of terrain you will be dealing with. Bulldozer chassis are available in standard and heavy-duty versions. But with heavy-duty landing gear, you not only get all the features of a standard landing gear with additional features such as maximum strength steel plates and idler rims, but you can also use these dozers on rough terrain and even on slopes.

 

Versatility


By combining the right shovel blade, slope control, and hydrostatic transmission, you can increase the versatility of almost any dozer. This combination supports high productivity in all Jobsite applications, from rough grading to finish.

 

The total cost of ownership


When buying a dozer, look for aspects such as fuel efficiency, dealer support, and technical compatibility. You should also consider chassis options, as the chassis can be one of the highest costs of owning and operating a dozer.

 

 

We hope this list will help you choose the right dozer for you! You can always browse our online inventory to see some of the quality dozers for sale. Feel free to contact us with any questions for advice.

Reasonable Operation Of Track Bulldozer

图片
The  Track Bulldozer   has the greatest influence on the transmission oil temperature due to the external resistance and the maximum output torque during the shovel operation. If the small throttle is used for a long time to operate the torque converter in the inefficient zone, the transmission oil temperature will rise. If the large throttle is used during frequent shifting, it will cause severe impact on the machine and increase the temperature of the transmission oil. To this end, the operator should reasonably control the amount of bulldozer and the timing of the blade lifting and lowering. The soil feeding distance should not be too long, so as to prevent the use of small throttle for a long time. We are  Track Bulldozer Supplier , specializing in the production of machinery and equipment, welcome to consult and order.

  Purchasing a bulldozer is a significant investment, whether you're in the construction business or need one for specific projects. To ensure you make an informed decision and get the   right bulldozer   for your needs, here are four essential tips and things to know before buying one: 1. Define Your Requirements and Applications The first step in   buying a bulldozer  is understanding your specific requirements and applications. Consider the following: Size and Capacity:  Bulldozers come in various sizes and capacities. Determine the size that can handle your typical projects and the type of material you'll be moving. Attachments:  Many bulldozers can be equipped with various attachments, such as blades, rippers, and winches. Assess which attachments you need for your tasks. Terrain:  Consider the type of terrain you'll be working on, as this can affect the tracks or tires your bulldozer should have. Understanding your specific needs will help you narrow down your options

No Steering Failure of Crawler Hydraulic Steering Bulldozer

图片
  During the use of the bulldozer, due to various reasons, the bulldozer is difficult to turn, cannot turn, cold cars can turn, hot cars can not turn. After the occurrence of these failure phenomena, according to the use time of the bulldozer and the occurrence process of the failure, the classification analysis should be carried out to check the truth, which can avoid unnecessary disassembly and reduce the internal pollution of the machine. The following   Bulldozer Suppliers   introduce common fault phenomena such as bulldozers and related knowledge of inspection and elimination. When the  Dozer  is in use, it suddenly fails to turn on both sides. The overflow valve at the oil inlet of the directional control valve assembly can be disassembled. The reason is that the oil is too dirty, the impurities in the oil wear or strain the surface of the overflow valve core and the inner cavity of the valve body, so that the valve core is stuck in the position where the oil return is turned on,
