Alright guys and gals, looking to see if anybody has a weight on a fully stripped d6h or similiar dozer. What we got going on is I need a bigger dozer at my place, but the barge can only handle 15-19k lbs, in a 8 foot wide opening on the gate. So I was thinking once the blade, nose, radiators, cab, all covers and pans, fuel tank, batteries, pads, and extra rollers are removed it should be down around 20k lbs. Am I crazy? So essentially it would drive onto the barge on rails alone, and it would only run for a few minutes to load so it doesn't need a radiator hooked up. Then another 2 trips with all the other stuff and re assembly on the other end with a 80 size komatsu we have out there. Another option would be to remove finals and track frames and put it on a dolly, and back onto barge and pull it off the barge with my 450b or a d3. Just wondering what all your educated guesses would be on the weight totally stripped would be.
Reason a d6h or d6r, I need something with push arms, been around those d6m and d6ns with the 6 ways that crack in stump pushing detail. Any other dozers that would work good? I would love a d7h but the weight is a concern with a d6h already. Tracking it out overland in the winter is out of the question, it doesnt freeze that well here for that stuff and permits are a pain to get. We had the 80 sized komatsu excavator hauled out complete and it was no issue, I think it was 18k lbs with some extra stuff making the load 21k?
Any help is much appreciated.
