It’s hard to get excited about a dozer blade. After all, it’s just a big metal plate that pushes and shoves and cuts and grades. But the truth is, today’s dozer blades are sophisticated tools. And you can’t make money without them—which makes them far from boring. So before you choose a blade, give some thought to how the decision could affect your bottom line.
Some new dozers are equipped with blade sensors and controls. These technologies help operators work faster and more accurately while using less fuel and materials. Consider the new Cat® D6. It includes Cat Grade with Slope Indicate, a standard technology that keeps the operator informed about the slope they’re on. It’s a simple visual indicator that helps boost productivity. Cat Grade with Slope Assist, another standard feature on the Cat D6, holds the blade at a target slope, making it much easier for the operator to work efficiently. And Cat Grade with 3D, an optional automation blade control system, boosts productivity by up to 50% over traditional grading processes.
