With a 90 yd. pushing capacity I think that the 575 would be plenty effecient.

Try this for the info:

Although you can get an optional 98 yd push blade for the D11.

Is it bad that the only thing I can think about is the nightmare of cleaning those tracks!!!!!

I know how bad it was when my old boss used to get the D7 in some thick early spring goo that had to be cleaned out every night so it wouldnt freeze.

High tracks ain't that bad, but that 575A or any dozer with oval tracks would take hrs.

So after he does it once, he goes back and does it 10 times an hour for the next 8 hours, right?

anyone remember the CAT skidsteer commercials where the little skidsteer goes nose to nose with the D11, i would say either of those giants would do their work just fine.

Komatsu machines are way more fun to operate & I've run them all for my comparison. My D-41 Komatsu has pushed side by side with D6 cats & the Komatsu is faster & smoother. If you ask me, I think that Cat has some catching up to do.

I've seen some huge dozers on Mega Machines... I think any of them would be fun to play with!

Don't worry Cat has plenty of time to catch up with all the brake down Crapmatsu's have.

That's funny, of all the equipment our company has the Komatsus out work the Cat's 2:1 with a lot less fuel.

Maybe we are just lucky?
