d.
Side-by-Side Dozing.
(1) Move two or more machines side by side when moving large quantities of loose material.
(2) Keep blades close together and machines parallel to each other.

(1) Tilt blade and work with low side of blade in center of ditch.
(2) Level blade when required depth and slope are reached.
f.
Straight Dozer Ditching.
(1) Tilt blade to cut shallow "V" ditches.

i.
Large Tree Removal.
WARNING
When removing trees, precautions must be taken to avoid injury and damage to equipment. Machines should
never work close together as one may push a tree over on the other. Do NOT follow too closely when a tree
starts to fall as rootball may catch under front of tractor, which will then require assistance to back off.
Bottom of tractor may be damaged.
Be alert for any dead limbs that could fall while tree is being removed.
(1) Use bulldozer to cut roots of tree on side opposite direction of fall.
(2) Cut roots on sides parallel to direction of fall.
