Jenny was the best, answered questions on several calls that other dealers could not. I live in KC and shopped auctions, dealers nationwide, Facebook market place. Got my best deal on my TL12V2 machine from Luby with extended warranty. Drove to Fenton and picked up machine. Machine was as described and ready to go as promised. Jenny’s friendliness and listening to my wants sold me! Her boss should give her a raise thanks again!

This was my first experience with Luby Equipment. Jenny Swafford was my sales person. She promptly made a deal with me working out the transportation and all the details. She kept me in the loop every step of the way and gave me many detailed pictures of the piece of equipment. I do many deals in my line of work and I can tell you she is among the best. I would do business again and hope I can. My experience with Lubys has been the best. I could not be happier. Good job Jenny I wish there were more like you doing business would be a much funner experience. Mike.

The Basics of a Dozer
A dozer is a tracked vehicle equipped with a large metal blade at the front. This combination of powerful propulsion and a formidable pushing implement makes dozers ideal for a wide variety of earthmoving tasks. The tracks provide excellent traction and weight distribution, allowing dozers to operate effectively on various terrains, from loose soil to rocky ground.
Main Components of a Dozer
Blade: The most distinctive feature of a dozer is its blade. CASE dozers come with different blade configurations, including:
Straight blade: For pushing material over short distances
Universal blade (U-blade): Curved with side wings for handling larger volumes of material
Semi-Universal blade (S-U blade): A compromise between straight and U-blades
Tracks: The wide tracks distribute the machine’s weight, reducing ground pressure and improving mobility in challenging conditions.
Ripper: Many dozers, including select CASE models, feature a ripper at the rear. This claw-like attachment can break up hard soil or rock, making subsequent earthmoving tasks easier.
Cab: Modern CASE dozers boast comfortable, climate-controlled cabs with excellent visibility and ergonomic controls.
Primary Functions of a Dozer
Dozers are incredibly versatile machines. Here are some of their primary applications:
Earthmoving: Dozers excel at pushing large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, or other materials across a site.
Land clearing: Their power and blade design make dozers ideal for clearing vegetation and debris from construction sites or agricultural land.
Grading and leveling: Dozers can create smooth, level surfaces for foundations, roads, or landscaping projects.
Slope cutting: With their excellent stability, dozers can work on inclines to create or modify slopes.
Ripping: When equipped with a ripper, dozers can break up compacted soil or rock before excavation.
Snow removal: Dozers can efficiently clear large snow areas in winter.
CASE Dozers: Innovation and Performance
At Luby Equipment Services, we specialize in CASE construction equipment, including their impressive line of dozers. CASE offers a range of dozer models to suit various project needs. Some popular models include the CASE 650M, known for its versatility in small to medium-sized projects; the CASE 850M, which balances power and maneuverability; and the larger CASE 2050M, designed for heavy-duty earthmoving tasks.
CASE dozers are recognized for their features, including:
Innovative hydraulic systems for precise control
Fuel-efficient engines meeting the latest emissions standards
Advanced telematics for monitoring and diagnostics
Ergonomic cab designs with excellent visibility
Choosing the Right Dozer
Selecting the appropriate dozer depends on various factors, including:
Job site conditions: Consider the terrain, material type, and space constraints.
Task requirements: Different blade types and sizes suit different applications.
Production goals: Larger dozers can move more material but may sacrifice maneuverability.
Transportation: Consider how you’ll move the dozer between job sites.
Our team at Luby Equipment Services can help you assess your needs and recommend the ideal CASE dozer for your projects.
Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance is crucial for dozers to provide optimal performance and longevity. This includes:
Daily inspections of tracks, blades, and hydraulic systems
Regular oil and filter changes
Proper lubrication of moving parts
Monitoring and maintaining correct track tension
CASE dozers are designed for easy maintenance, with ground-level access to many service points, simplifying routine care.
The Future of Dozers
As technology advances, dozers continue to evolve. CASE is at the forefront of this evolution, incorporating features like:
GPS-guided systems for precise grading
Hybrid and electric power options for reduced emissions
Enhanced operator assistance technologies
These innovations promise to make dozers more efficient, accurate, and environmentally friendly in the coming years. Dozers are true workhorses in construction and earthmoving. Their power, versatility, and precision make them indispensable on many job sites.
