What Are Bulldozers Used For?

[Jonathan Gillispe]

Hi!
I see bulldozers used on construction sites all the time, but I know they have a lot of different applications. What are the main jobs bulldozers are used for in construction, agriculture, and other industries?

Are there specific types of bulldozers better suited for certain tasks? I’d love to hear from anyone with experience using them!

Bulldozers are super versatile! They’re mainly used for pushing dirt, grading, and land clearing, but you’ll also see them in farming, mining, and even disaster cleanup. Different blade types and track styles make some better for specific jobs—like a wide blade for grading or a ripper for breaking up tough ground!

Yeah, I’ve run dozers mostly for land clearing and grading. It's great for leveling sites fast and handling tough terrain. The type of blade really matters too; straight blades are solid for pushing, but if you’re shaping land, an angle or U-blade makes a big difference.
