There's a Reason Why People Prefer Dozer Over Excavators in Mountain Road Construction

Dozemaster!! I am a Fan of Marvin Haymeir, he dozed down the Town of Granby!! My Hero!! Standing up to greedy and Corruption.

The Dozer advantage is every pass compacts the transported material. Excavator PLACES the material after it makes grade and compacts only the top 6" inches.

It really depends on what the job is. I prefer excavator for most work however cutting in a road a dozer is much quicker.

Every heavy equipment has specific purpose. bulldozer will be use in road opening projects, excavators is for excavation purposes like drainage systems and other related works. road grader is for final grading or leveling followed by road compactor for comoaction purposes.

Good job, 6 way blade would have been a better option then a fix blade. But in construction you work with what you got, thank for the video.

Dozers always impress me how versatile and useful they are...since I was a kid I always loved this kind of machines, and now the I"m an adult still loves them....Is one of the greatest inventions ever...Great video.

The old Komatsu still works good in the hands of the skillful operator:)

all tools have their own capabilities and functions, as well as bulldozers and excavators ... best wishes from Indonesia 💪

Olá bom trabalho pra vcs,, eu vi algo muito interessante nesse vídeo,, pé de cacau,, aqui no Brasil, tem muito muito kkkkk,, essa fruta que apareceu aí,, grande serviço 🙏🙏🙏 Vando,,,do Brasil,, curtiu

I’ve done it both ways. Uphill, I prefer an excavator for rough in. Downhill, a dozer can be faster. Soils and weather conditions influence the outcomes. Note the moment where the dozer almost got into trouble (2:26) as the low edge collapsed and almost took the dozer with it. The skilled operator knew what was happening and reacted appropriately.

depends totally on the operator

The best video

i did this kind of stuff most of my life and i thought this operator was perty good..

Boa noite amigão ótimo vídeo gostei as escavadeiras tomaram estes trabalho que era do trator de ésteira que pena e raro vê um trator de ésteira fazendo este trabalho link zão 🤛

A dozer is ok for spreading dirt, but an excavator with a push blade is the only way to go when actually cutting a mountain road. You have to move trees, boulders, and you cannot just push everything over the side. The trees are logs, the boulders are embankment reinforcements.

I prefer both dozer an excavator..they both do a good job

This machine is an antique and limits the operators ability to construct a quality road. The "green in" road will not last long. A 6 way blade would have allowed inside ditching and a rough in from the inside out without having to make so many passes. Also angled water bars can be built with a modern dozer which this machine cannot do. I recognize the primitive conditions and do give kudos to the operator as others have acknowledged. He does make smooth work with his blade and doesn't overburden the machine by making too big of a cut. Overall a great job with what he has but the machine has limits.

Great driving skills, I really like this one.👍

Thought I was going to see road construction in mountains, not foothills. I also thought I was going to see road pioneering, not just widening an existing road.

well done dozerman 👍👍🚜🚜
