A dozer is primarily used to push large quantities of soil, sand, and rubble. Its main tasks include rough and fine grading of land, land clearing (removing trees and rocks), creating haul roads on construction sites, and backfilling trenches.

The most common is the 'S-Blade' (Straight Blade), which is short with no side wings, ideal for fine grading. A 'U-Blade' (Universal Blade) has large side wings and is best for pushing large amounts of material over long distances. An 'S-U' blade is a combination of the two and is the most versatile.

The ripper is a large, claw-like attachment on the rear of the dozer. It is used to break up hard-packed ground, frozen soil, or soft rock, making the material easier for the front blade to push and grade.

Dozer size is determined by its horsepower and operating weight. Small dozers are great for finish grading. Mid-size dozers are versatile for most construction tasks. Large dozers are used for major earthmoving projects like mining or highway construction. The choice depends on the scale of your job and the type of material you're moving.

A dozer excels at pushing material and grading with precision using its blade and tracks for traction. A wheel loader is designed to lift, carry, and load material into trucks using its bucket and wheels for mobility.
