Hello I’m new here so bare with me .. Has anyone ever used a Deere 750C to pull a scraper? I have a couple 750C dozers and couple of Ashland dolly wheel scrapers.. one a 9 yard and the other a 13 yd .. always have been pulled with farm tractors . But was pondering on rigging up hydraulics on one of the 750’s so be able pull scraper or disk if needed. Anyone have an opinion?
Can't see any problems with that idea. In another lifetime I used to operate a D7e towing a 16yd Birtely scoop and it self loaded real good. The 7e was 120hp and probably heavier than the 750 though. The blade was removed including the C frame for 2 reasons. It made turning alot easier and also cut down the track wear.
I guess what I’m not sure about is that the dozers are hydrostatic drive . Am curious if any others have done this.
Can't imagine it would any worse than doing a long push with a full blade. One job I did with the 7e was excavating a huge dam, moving the dirt up a hill to the stockpile. It was a powershift machine and it never had any problems with the trany overheating. My guess is the oil may get warmer pulling a load but will cool on the return.
Cultivation work is better with a direct drive probably for the same reasons as scoop work is . Never heard it was an overheating issue but economic use of fuel .
have pulled Ashland ts110 with a deere 750j worked well no overheating in 90 degree temps loaded heapimg loads with good stinger bit
Deerert295 that’s good to know.. if I can ask ..how were the hydraulics configured on the Dozer to make it able to function with the scraper?
it was a 2valve stack semi u blade added two more sections to stack the ts 110 is direct hitch not dolly
