Yeah, Ima have to join you there, I cleared a lot with a big *** 17,000 lb bulldozer a few years ago with a friend and could barely push over 8" tree's with it.

yeah it's not a monster bulldozer or anything, but a 17,000 lb dozer with a CAT 150 hp turbo diesel engine is going to push down a bigger tree than a 3500 lb truck for sure, unless the truck was going 60 when he pushed the tree down? lol

My boss runs bulldozers in forest fires. A big ole cat can't even push over a 12" oak unless it's dead and on a hillside.

Here's what I got so far, now I just gotta cover it in steel diamond plate or just steel plating then bend out my prerunner bar and then put a winch on her!
