Allis Chalmers dozer takes down a massive tree.

  • When you need to remove a big tree without an excavator, tree pusher, or tilt blade, this is how you go about it. I believe this tree is a Burr Oak? It was 4-5 ft in diameter and had a huge canopy (50+ ft) that stretched out into our field blocking equipment and sucking up nutrients. Even a large dozer like this (45k lbs) can only push over trees up to a certain size, after that, you need to dig around them to break the roots and then pile up dirt on one side to create a ramp for leverage. Even then I could only get within 3-4 feet around the tree so the root ball is huge. 1952 Allis Chalmers HD20 Torque converter drive. 6-110 detroit diesel

    He did GOOD and there's a lot of good firewood in that tree. I dearly love to dig stumps but I usually start 6 or 8 feet away from the trunk and start busting roots. With a dozer or loader I do like he did and go around but with the loader you always have the advantage of a bucket curl leverage. With a hoe and the tree attached I dig around 3 sides and hinge it on the 4th side VERY easy. That hard dry ground don't turn loose without a fight, especially one that big but if you can get it to shake, it'll come.................eventually. Just have to keep worrying it. That 110 has a SWEET lick and the torque converter and decellerator is CHOICE! Thanks and GBWYall!~

      I added the decel myself, as they werent available from the factory with one until 55 with the release of the 21 and 16. Its awesome in trees, not needed as much pushing dirt but I bet it would have been nice pushing scrapers.

    • @lewiemcneely9143
      @lewiemcneely9143 Před 2 lety +1

      @@bigcal36 You did a FINE job on the whole machine. And when you back up it acts like you're in #2 notch which is good about pushing because you can get the torque converter into the deal and put the traction to the ground instead of just spinning. I pushed pans with a 6-C and a 8-H and if you could get the pan skinners to let you catch them on the fly (cut about 4 to 6 inches) you could really move some dirt and have a blast doing it. That 110 has a FINE lick to it. I've always been a 2-cycle fan since a small kid. GBWYall!
