I rented a CAT D6 bull dozer for one month to complete two driveways at the farm. I had zero bull dozer experience and was very intimidated about renting one and doing the driveways myself.
In this video I show how it is possible to get professional level results without any experience, by taking advantage of the Grade Control and Slope Assist functions on the newer CAT dozers. Without them I don’t think I could have achieved anywhere close to the results I did, especially in the amount of time I had. One thing is for sure, operating a dozer manually is much harder than it seems, especially if you are trying to grade and slope a driveway.
This video will give you some good tips if you have never operated a dozer before, or if you are an experienced dozer operator and are curious how the slope and grade control functions work. This is filmed from the lens of a person with no experience.
Enjoy!
