This works because you will not be operating the dozer in reverse as much. This will slow down the wear on the tracks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Production_Blades\"><\/span>Production Blades<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Using a production blade like a spade blade or a CAT Super U will help in increasing the productivity of your dozer. You will see an increase in production of over twenty percent as compared to the standard U blades. This increased production can really come in handy, especially on larger and more time-consuming jobs.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Working_in_the_Slot\"><\/span>Working in the Slot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can increase the blade load up to thirty percent when you work in the slot. By working in the slot and dozing front to back, you can also prevent dirt and material from falling from the blade. This is yet another way to greatly enhance the production of the dozer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Track_Tension\"><\/span>Track Tension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Make sure to check the track tension because if the track chains are too tight, they are damaged much more quickly. See the appropriate tension in the operator\u2019s manual for your dozer. While you do not need to check the track chain tension regularly, you should adjust them whenever there is a change in weather conditions. Changes in the environmental conditions can result in mud and debris getting packed in the sprockets. You can reduce undercarriage wear by fifty percent by simply maintaining proper track tension.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3D_Design_Optimization\"><\/span>3D Design Optimization<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Optimize your design in 3D for push productivity. You will see an improvement in productivity. This improvement is typically about fifteen percent in production dozing.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GPS\"><\/span>GPS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Make use of the GPS system that shows the operator the push direction vectors.&nbsp; This can cut rehandle time in half. It also allows new operators to learn how to use the dozer more quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Short_Cuts\"><\/span>Short Cuts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A lot of dozer operators assume that longer cuts are good; however, that is not the case. There is only so much dirt that a dozer blade can hold, and once it is full, the excess dirt will fall to the sides. You will need to go back and move it all over again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you start working with a dozer, you will need to get a feel for &hellip;
