Why must the dozer be transported over long distances?

When transporting a dozer over long distances, avoiding low speeds and minimizing wear on the tracks is a critical consideration. Operating a dozer at low speeds for extended periods can lead to unnecessary strain on the tracks, potentially causing them to wear out faster than they would under normal operating conditions. The tracks are designed for specific operational speeds and conditions, and maintaining those conditions is crucial for their longevity.

Transporting the dozer allows it to be moved quickly and safely, reducing the time spent at low speeds and protecting the integrity of the equipment. Additionally, moving the equipment via transport rather than driving it on-site can prevent premature failure of components and decrease the likelihood of breakdowns during operation.

This reasoning underscores the importance of careful planning and execution when it comes to transporting heavy machinery, ensuring that the equipment remains in optimal condition for its intended tasks.
