    A wheel loader is a loader, a track loader is by far a more versatile machine, especially when the going gets tough.

    Pond cleaning advice

    A silt scoop (as stated before ) would be the way to go. Taking a dozer near the dam in question, other than to pull a silt scoop would be asking for trouble. Draining pumping out etc would be a complete waste of time and money. Have seen dams that have been cleaned out...

    pond cleanout methods

    After yesterday I am more convinced than ever that a silt scoop is the way to go. With a D69u I assisted an excavator in cleaning out a small dam. There was a lot of double handling with the excavator, also found that the dozer could only move a very small amount of mud up the batter, which...

    The lost art of slot dozing!

    Can't quite follow your reasoning. Many times have cross ripped in hard material, almost always only had a one tyne ripper ( dozers ranged from a D46u (trailing ripper) to D11s) so blade to ripper size is irrelevant. Working in rock, tried...

    Perkins 6.306 oil pressure problem

    Had a 306 with the same problem, replaced the oil pump , did not make any difference. On a Chamberlain 306 the switch for the alternator exciter is controlled by oil pressure , on start up watch the amp meter, it will show charge as soon as the switch is pressurised. After...

    pond cleanout methods

    I agree with Scrub Puller regarding the use of a silt scoop to clean out dams/tanks etc. A lot of older dams are a real trap for a dozer as they can drop away sharply near the bottom resulting in a very badly bogged dozer. Have a look at www.starkeng.com.au there is a video of one...

    The lost art of slot dozing!

    Slot dozing is the way to go in a great many applications, especially when moving ripped material any distance. Have found other methods work OK on short pushes, truck dumps, shallow cuts etc, more so when using a large dozer.
