    Ax Men

    I agree with you that the guy is a idiot and I don't like watching him either.But what gets me is that the government wants their hand in everything going.And people wonder why jobs are moving overseas.

    All the work?

    The crazy laws and environmental BS we are putting up with now will be nothing compared to what we will be dealing with after the next 4 years are up.With the crazy loons on the left controlling everything.Anybody in the construction and earth moving business will be out of luck. I know this my...

    Hauling dozer

    The forestry division around here use those type trucks to haul their dozers on.They look like a good set up if you drive a lot on small country roads.I know my tandem dump and tag trailer are hard to get turned on small roads.As for the handling I would say they would drive about like a log truck.

    Starting with a JD 450C?

    Have you thought about a International or dresser td-7e or g model? You could probably get one for 10 to 14 thousand range.They are a tough little dozer and they are easy to work on.

    land clearing techniques

    Hi 41B it sounds like you already have the equipment to do that job.For myself I wouldn't worry about chaining the trees I would use a excavator to root them out and the dozers to pile with.But your problem will be the weather thats one thing you can't control and it will make it or break it for...

    Pond Building Tips

    I always have built my ponds with a dozer.But the most important thing that I have found in building ponds is the type of soil you have.If you have some good clay you are in good shape but if you have rock or rock ledges you are in trouble.With bad soil means you have to either haul dirt or put...

    Recommendations on Dozer and Possibilities.

    For the price of a new or a newer dozer you could buy a nice older dozer and a backhoe and maybe a dump truck.They are alot of nice older dozers out there that are in pretty good shape. Any dozer new or old you are going to have break downs some may be minor some may be major.Personally i would...
