TODAYS SEAT TIME

I was pushing some brush on my dozer and got stuck on a stump.

I have acres of land with scattered old juniper stumps from a thinning project about 10 years ago. The grasses have responded well and I want to rotary cut these areas this year. I spent the weekend popping stumps with my rear blade; over 60 so far, some weighing 250+ pounds. The stumps are still pretty sound but the roots were rotted enough that the blade was able to pop them out of the ground; then I back-dragged the blade to fill the stump holes. Now these areas are ready for rotary cutting this year. About 5 acres done, 15 more to go.

That looks like a fine dozer Mr. 4570. What's the rest of the story with getting stuck / unstuck?

Dozers are supposed to be invincible!

It’s still stuck. I haven’t taken any equipment out there yet.

Can you put logs under the bade and more stuff under the back trailer hitch or main case then pick up the front with the blade and shove logs under the tracks ??

I had my JD 450H stuck a couple of years back. I was lucky in that I still had my old Case 680C backhoe. The dozer is 16,000 lbs. I think the Case was 14,700. After a little digging, I pulled the dozer out with the backhoe. No longer own the Case. My wife makes me stay out of the wet areas.

Also got same strong advice from my bride.

I bought a little bigger trackhoe today. The recovery should be easy now lol.

Nice! The way that you’re getting geared up how much longer do you plan to be doing firewood?
