I am learning as i go with this dozer.
Other than the main blade pins to chassis being worn out it is a fair old dozer.
I am having trouble maintaining grade.
When I start into a cut the slop in the pins comes in and I compensate for that and get the push going. As i get into a good push the front of the dozer seems to suck down.
I can feel in the seat of my pants the rear of the dozer lifting.
And the dozer blade starts to dive below grade.
So I end up raising the blade to compensate which usually results in the blade coming out of the cut; then if i try to continue it will end up porpasing.
I do not think i have ever seen a dozer with weights on the rear.
There is no adjustment I can find for degree of blade.
Is it me?
If so is there something I can do to correct my technique?
Some of my work.
Benching an area to divert rain water from a building site i am preparing.
