Construction 180HP Swamp Bulldozers

How a swamp dozer stays on top of mud

A normal bulldozer relies on grip. In a swamp, grip is not the problem: the machine needs flotation. Wider shoes lower the ground pressure, so the tracks ride on the surface instead of cutting in. That is why ground pressure, not horsepower alone, is the key figure to check when you compare swamp models.

What to expect from 180HP Swamp Bulldozers

The specification table below lists the data for this model. Typical points describe what the machine type usually offers, and each one is confirmed at quotation:

• Controls: hydraulic, operator cab controlled
• Power: diesel engine, extra-wide crawler track drivetrain
• Build: welded steel chassis, wide steel track shoes
• Range: this dozer type spans 80-320 hp, on track shoes of 700-920 mm

Common jobs include dyke building, canal cleaning, land prep for rice and oil palm, and access roads across wet sites.

Questions we check with buyers

Contractors usually tell us the soil type, water depth and whether the dozer will work near salt water. We use this to confirm shoe width, seals and paint spec. If your site is less wet, look at the 160HP crawler bulldozer, or compare the smaller 160HP crawler swamp bulldozer.
