What factors should be considered when operating a bulldozer on a private farm?

[Mr. McTuggart]

I'm looking to learn from others with experience operating bulldozers on private farms.

What key factors should be considered, especially regarding terrain, soil conditions, safety around livestock and structures, and avoiding damage to fields or underground utilities?

Any practical tips or best practices would be appreciated.

Big things are knowing your soil conditions, watching for hidden utilities, and taking it slow around livestock and structures.. farm ground can change fast after rain.
