Dozer idea. But something is odd...

[DennisThornton 4,769]

[ebinmaine 67,695]

Seems a little underpowered but with the right gears and ultra low speed..

[71_Bronco 1,072]

Hope the blade is heavy. Looks like a gravity set-up with the winch to lift the blade. Doesn't look to have down-pressure.

 

Doesn't look very safe, everything looks exposed.

That is for easy maintenance.    That dozer probably wouldn't win a race or the Darwin Award, many of the contenders below weren't even in the running for the top spot

Gears are everything!

This guy is especially creative too.  This is an entire Subaru drivetrain, Predator powered.

Just because YOU didn't have the fore thought to try those interesting moves doesn't mean they were a bad idea.....

Probably close to the original HP and the only thing missing is the hood.

Is that something that would have been a diesel originally? Would that engine have had a lot more torque or not really?

Slow RPM gas 16 to 20 HP.

[littleredrider 409]

Might only be 16-20 horse, but torque is prolly couple hundred ft/lb. Still pretty cool tho...

This guy is pretty creative. I think he was the first to start doing this. I think he built the Toyota on 44s below.

You only live once!

[DennisThornton 4,769]

Well,

I don't know where it is.

Or if it is even for sale.

Otherwise, I might be interested.

you've got cat track fever

[Greentored 3,216]

Love the idea, but enclosing some things would make it much 'safer'.

[Greentored 3,216]

As for power/gearing- I have a 655 for sale and you wouldnt believe how many folks said 'no thanks' when they found out its 'only' 6hp.

My keeper 655 'lil booger' impresses me more every time I use it.  People get too hung up on big power, which is not always needed......

Media brainwashing...

You have to have the biggest widest tallest thinnest fattest smallest shortest most extreme of everything possible or it just isn't worth anything at all.
