We've been back blading ever since I can remember off and on, never had any issues with the bolts snapping off or coming lose. This guy clearly doesn't drive bulldozers
It's useful if you're pushing snow on packed ice, but only if the weight of the blade won't push down through it. I did a lot of stacking that way with 6s and 7s up north. Also for when the machine is parked.
I have been operating dozers for over 50yrs now and never seen bolts break from back blading after all there is less stress on the bolts when back blading than when a dozer gets bogged and a digger pulls on the corner of the blade or another dozer gets the blade corner to try and push it out. Plus some time U need to back blade in order to leave a job with no track marks on the finished surface or when sealing it off before rain comes.
Men have backdragged as long as there have been bulldozers, in 60 years i've never seen a blade ripped of by backdragging, its okay to get rid of trackmarks etc.
Well if this isnt horse shit... im a 3rd generation operator who was taught to bsck drag by my grand father who has since passed and never once has anyone told me about bolt snapping.... the only time ive seen a bolt snap was a stuck d8t and a 349 ripped the bolts off 1 side of the dozer.... your never going to back drag something that hard it has its uses eg material on a edge or in a tight spot. So im sorry but a real operator back drags
I was watching for several other reasons. There is no room between the blade and dozer to load it up like you would in a push, so I kind of discount your point with some thought. I thought it had something to do with back-blading eventually pulling the cutting edge off or damaging the blade structure that was not designed to take the abrasion of dirt.
I was back blading one day. The boss told me to go to lunch,gonna have mechanic come and turn blade around for me. Then he said if that's best I can do, don't come back
Depends on the conditions you are working in. If you are in a dry climate there should be no need to back blade. In a wet climate you pretty much have to back blade to fill the track ruts in. If you don't you end up with two ruts that fill with water and never seem to go away.
lol Just how much dirt are you trying to backblade? You guys just making stuff up. You would have to make my list of just too ignorant to ever work for.

Why do they have the float option? Surely that is not for going forward.

Who came up with this theory? not designed to back blade? LOL
I sure as hell would trust your advice over his.😎
Mr. Cat made there dozers to work both ways !!
And to think you could buy blades with backup rippers
Do those fasteners have a history of failing or stretching if you do back drag?
no
Well if thats Morgan Corp policy then respect to them !!.
Though Back Blading is just Loose material hence not vast stresses imposed

Winch enters chat...
If ya can’t blade going ahead you might as well
Not be in the seat
@@TylerSparks-sj7ws negative - finish blading ahead just fine

Over in France they call them "Dah zie ay"
