Izzy Built Dozer
 
I have developed and prototyped a new dozer. Loosely based on the Stahl and kinda resembles several different dozers.

It's all electric using a firgelli to actuate the blade

Wow, that looks good! Is this going to be offered through your shop, or is it just a 'one off' for your own building and operating pleasure? The tracks and drives look awesome. It looks like it has some heft to it. Anymore specs on this machine? I like it.

A very nice model! I'm glad you have taken the time to do "mass production".

I like those grousers, they must provide great traction.

Thanks guys -

yes the dozer is available. I did a first prototype batch of 10 (as of today 2 still available)

Dimensions
Blade is just under 11" wide
Track centers is 6.6" or so
Overall length around 14.5"
Overall height around 9"

(grousers are 1/4" or so high


My issues uncovered at the meet were
- spring pressure in the track mech. is a little light
- Firgelli was too slow (changed out after day 1 and was much better on day 2
personal preference changes
- Added spacers on the push frame to clear the front of the tracks
- changed the pivot distance on the firgelli to increase blade travel and speed.

go to the Izzy thread for some more pics of the proto units
