How much area can a bulldozer level in one day?
2 Answers
Under good construction conditions, it can level 4,000-5,000 square meters. Under poor conditions, such as muddy terrain with a lot of earthwork, the minimum is around 2,000 square meters. Additional Information: Precautions: New machines should undergo a break-in period before use and should not be put directly into operation. After starting the diesel engine, allow it to warm up without load. Do not begin moving until the oil temperature reaches the operating range. Before shifting gears, do not pull the throttle lever to the maximum position. Bulldozer-related Information: A bulldozer is an earthmoving machine capable of excavating, transporting, and disposing of rock and soil, widely used in open-pit mining. For example, it is used to construct dumping sites, level vehicle dumping areas, gather scattered ore and rock, level work platforms, and prepare construction sites.
It all depends on the bulldozer's power! A 60-horsepower compact can level 200 square meters per hour, while a 350-horsepower mining beast can churn out 2000 square meters in the same time. Actual performance varies with digging depth—deeper blade penetration slows progress, shallow cuts speed it up. On our last job site, a 220-horsepower model nonstop cleared two soccer fields in eight hours. Soil type makes a huge difference: pushing gravel is twice as fast as slogging through mud. Slope work takes another hit—a 20-degree incline slashes efficiency by 30%.
