Well if i was to get a Dozer for clearing fence rows and such i don't need a six way blade as long as it has tilt , and one other little accessory a WINCH on the back with a full spool of cable and tail chain for those time when you THINK ya i can get thru that , next accessory would be ROPS and limb risers . When playing in the BUSH they will save you life . No next thing to think about is will this dozer just stay on the farm and no hauling is going to be requierd or am i going to have to haul it from place to place ?? and how far will it be hauled . If you plan on hauling it then you will want to be able to keep the blade inside the rub rails and depending on what you have to haul it with. Then this is when the six way blade comes into play . dozers and such i know quite a bit about , Now here i am a little partial to two . They are a nice size to get work done , they are fast (love fast) they have good weight , they handle nice and they do a super nice job on finish grade , they are not jerky while operating . The 650G Deere with a winch on the back or four slab weights makes for a nice dozer with lever steer ( don't like pedal steer on this one) The D5G Cat is also a nice working dozer , here again a winch or weights on the back make a world of difference . They both can be hauled on a 20 K trailer behind a one ton BUT you will have a load really more then you want. Both are around 100H P and Both are around ten ton give or take . If you have a way of moving larger then a good older 750 B ( here again i said GOOD ) and on then pedal steer is better as both of your hands are busy and since god did not give operator two let hands the pedal steer is best on the older Hydrostat Deers . The older D 5 's were good but a little slow . But ya need a lowboy and semi tractor to haul and you would have to get a stupid permit to move. And here again a winch on the back. I know Why do I need a winch ??????? Well you may never need it but you said you wanted to do a little Creek clean up and to me all i can see is a STUCK Dozer . BTDT and it can happen so fast as you are pushing along and everything is goind SOOOOOooo gooooood TILL ya lift the blade and go to back up and the nose starts DOWN , And down and they you try and go foward and everything goes down . NOW you are STUCK . If you have that little fishing reel hanging on the back and a full spool of cable and you were smart enough to keep that one BIG tree standing till you were done You can get yourself out with a little work . This is where the Deere shines over a Cat as you can winch and track at the same time . when looking at Dozers take some with you that really knows them inside and out . Run them for a good twenty min/s or more to see how they act when they start to warm up. look at the under carrage COUNT THE CHAIN LINKS and know how may are suppose to be there as SOMETIMES they will cut out a link or two to cover up a plum wore out chain and make the ft. idler look like it has a lot of adjustment left. I could go on for hours on this . I have seen way tomany guys get handled on Dozer buys .
