a 20lbs dozer won't even scrape, and when you are talking about model earth (either the premade fake one or sifted sand) the trackloaders serve as both. i guess people are not willing to pay for it when the machines overlap almost identically in the 20lbs range.
My CAT dozer moves a lot of dirt in a short time, company's may not see a market for them because it is not the most entertainment pushing dirt.

My CAT works great, the swing blade is 13 by 7 inches in size. The D8R carrier blade is pushing in wet sand, very heavy material.. The CAT D8N is in topsoil, not packed, but in any case I think they work very well in scale.
