Although the term "bulldozer" is frequently used to describe any type of heavy machinery, it specifically refers to a tractor outfitted with a dozer blade. Typically, bulldozers are powerful tracked vehicles designed for exceptional ground mobility. Their tracks provide superior traction on uneven terrain and prevent the vehicle from becoming bogged down in soft or muddy ground. The broad tracks help distribute the bulldozer’s weight across a larger area, reducing the risk of sinking. Bulldozers are engineered for impressive ground grip and feature a torque converter that translates engine power into pulling force. This allows the bulldozer to use its weight effectively to push substantial objects and clear debris. For instance, the Caterpillar D9 can effortlessly tow loads exceeding 70 tons. This strength and capability make bulldozers essential for removing obstacles, clearing vegetation, and dis...
