WOW! You have working headlights! :mrgreen: These "little" dozers are more capable than most people realize. A trick I do is after initial knock down push I back up and get a good bite on the root ball and lift and push at the same time. Cuts down on track slippage and pops root ball right out of ground.
I'm up in NE Texas and we don't have the mesquite:mostly pine and hardwoods. Sweetgum and Blackjack are the worst to clear.Root balls from hell.

I normally do it that way too, but i was holding phone in one hand. The machine is a lot more powerful than I imagined. I really enjoy it and it's very efficient on fuel.

The lights on my 450c track loader work but with the big bucket on the front they don't do much good.

I get to run mine up in 4 Hi yesterday. It was both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
