A dozer, also called a bulldozer, is a tractor with a blade at the front. The blade can lift up or down, tilt and rotate. You use a bulldozer to move rocks, tree stumps and earth. There are two kinds of dozers: racked/crawler dozers are the most powerful T and compact. But, they are slow, tracks wear quickly, they can damage concrete and are more difficult to transport between jobs. They are best to use on uneven and slippery surfaces because they have the best grip.
ubber tyre dozers are four-wheel-drive and R can articulate. They are stable and comfortable on bumpy ground but are not good in the mud. Rubber tyre dozers are also cheaper and more common on construction sites.
