Dr. Walt 11-25-2012 02:48:17 12.2.223.79 Report to Moderator	I've been looking at ads on I-net & occasionally come across an ad that states "toolbar" dozer. I've run a few dozers in my time - D3's, D8 cable dozers, HD21's, Traxcavators with blades, etc. & I have never heard the term "toolbar" used. WHAT PRECISELY DOES THIS TERM REFER TO ?

They were reversable so the arms could be swung around and mount a blade on the front or toolbar on the back. [Reply]  [No Email]

You can put different things on the bar from a single ripper shank, to many smaller shanks for a root rake, etc. But over the years terms like that have come to mean different things to different people in different areas.

Used a lot in Wa state, on steep slopes, as I recall. I think there was also just a rear mounted tool bar, too. Can't remember where I saw the pictures. [Reply]  [No Email]
