Tracked Dozer

[fixit10101]

Has anyone fabricated a Dozer (like a Struck) from the running gear from a zero-turn mower?

Not recommended if you are going to use it as a dozer as those motors aren't meant for pushing like a dozer does and WILL blow.

Too light. I've got all the hydraulics from a skid steer we scraped that would be a good candidate though.

I see lots of them at shows... Bet they wouldn't last long if they were worked though...

You would be better off with some low torque hydro motors

Check out this link. I used a zero turn pump which connected to hydraulic motors. The motors turn the track.

Just read your thread on your dozer build. Good advice and great pictures and letting you know I thank you for the link. Nicely done. Good build, just can't say enough good things about it. :thumbsup: Hope the OP has the time to go take a look at the build. Thanks.

By the way I'm glad these old threads got resurrected. Sure worth reading.
