WORK POSSIBLE USING BULLDOZER

In addition to the following, it is possible to further increase the range of applications by using various attachments.
DOZING
A bulldozer digs and transports dirt in a forward direction. Slope
excavation can always be most effectively performed by
proceeding from the top downward.
CUTTING INTO HARD OR FROZEN GROUND OR DITCHING
For digging and ditch excavation of hard or frozen ground tilt the
blade. Even hard ground can be dug effectively by a tilted or angled
blade.
If the ground is harder, use a ripper attachment for better efficiency.
FELLING TREES, REMOVING STUMPS
NOTICE
Do not up root trees or stumps or fell trees by angling or tilting the blade.
For trees with a diameter of 10 to 30 cm (3.9 to 11.8 in), raise the blade high and push 2 or 3 times to fell the tree.
Next, travel in reverse, and dig the corner of the blade into the ground to cut and dig up the roots.
When doing this, never hit the tree at high speed or apply shock to fell the tree.
