This is an interesting idea.It works on locomotives and large pit trucks.Why not a dozer?I cant wait to see how the machine dose whith the test of time.I have an old wabco c-pull that works great.It can be 95 degrees in the hot sun and the engine dosent get over 185 degrees.I think electricity transfurs power better than hydraulics in some cases.It dose not create as much heat,and heat is wasted energy.Just my thought's.
