Can anyone point out a few machines that I could look at? I am considering picking up a small dozer as my business expands. But I would like something that I could trailer around easily. I am rated to pull around 18,000 pounds but would like to keep the machine under 10K on a 14K trailer (trailer would weigh around 3K).
Or... Would a tracked skid steer with a dozer blade be okay for site grading? I'm worried that the skid steer would be prone to the same issues that a tractor has: due to where the loader connects, when the blade would start digging it would cause the machine to dip and dig in ... Whereas the dozers short arms would keep the machine level and be more efficient.
Thoughts and/or recommendations?
