A CAT D7G power shift tracklaying dozer is used in a pushing operation. The dozer is equipped with a straight 7U blade. The material (dry and noncohesive) weighs 100 pcf in the bank state. It is estimated that the material will swell 4% from bank to loose state. The center-of-mass-to-center-ofmass pushing is 250 ft on a 0% grade. The operator will have excellent skill, the job will be performed in good conditions. Job efficiency can be assumed to be equivalent to a 45-min hour. Calculate the dozer hourly production in bcy.
