If you own a MAGNATRAC®, you know that its versatility and power allow you to accomplish small tasks or large projects, like ripping hard soil, landscaping, pushing pesky logs, or even digging a small fish pond. However, you can only complete the projects you have in mind if you have the right attachments.
One attachment that proves itself to be extremely useful in many cases is a dozer blade. It can take on heavy-duty work and will save you a lot of time, energy, and even money.
In this article, we list five things that you can do with a dozer blade.

Plow Snow
If you live up north, you know how exhausting it is to shovel the snow off your driveway during winter. Not only does it take time, but it drains your energy too. With a dozer blade, you can clear the snow easily and say goodbye to all that strenuous work.
Most of these projects can take weeks of work, but it would only take days or hours if you use a dozer blade. Remember, using the right attachment for your project is vital to keeping costs down and maximizing efficiency. If you own a Struck product, specifically a MAGNATRAC® RS1000, and you want to save time, energy, and money, then grab this blade and start working on your next project!

The term small is a relative one. There is no clearly defined cut off for what qualifies as a small dozer compared to a large dozer, but most in the industry agree that dozers with an operating weight of less than 30,000 lbs. falls into the small category.
For some customers, a John Deere 850K with an operating weight of 50,000+ lbs. would be too small, for others it would be way too large. The right size dozer for you will depend on your application. We recommend speaking to one of our qualified equipment experts about your needs so you can be sure you’re investing in a dozer that’s the optimal size for your intended use.
Small dozers are used to move material short distances. They are ideal for working in confined spaces where maneuverability is critical. Tasks like grading and sloping, backfilling, and land clearing are typical applications. Small property owners often opt for a small dozer when they have land to clear and grade.
Depending on your application, you might need more horsepower than a small dozer can offer, and you may need to consider a medium or large dozer. Wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, and scrapers are alternatives when you need to move material longer distances.
Powertrain – Small dozer powertrain options include hydrostatic, torque convertor, and direct drive. A hydrostatic transmission is a great option because it matches ground speed to the load and speeds up or slows down to provide full power turns.
Track Length & Width – More track on the ground reduces ground pressure which increases stability and flotation on soft soil conditions and sloped terrain.
Attachment Options – Depending on the model, front and rear implement options will vary. Check to make sure the model you’re eyeing is compatible with the attachments you’ll need. Some common front attachments for dozers include straight blades, U blades, Angle blades, and 6-way blades. Rear-mounted implements can include rippers, scarifiers, winches, and rear mounted blades.
The John Deere 450K dozer is a solid option in the small dozer category that provides a lot of value relative to its cost.
