Q1.
A power-shift crawler tractor is excavating hard materials of earth (clay) and pushing it a distance
of 100 ft. The hourly cost of a power-shift crawler tractor is $200. Maximum reverse speeds are:
first range, 6 mph; second range, 9 mph; and third range, 11 mph. Rated blade capacity is 18
LCY. Estimate dozer production if the job efficiency factor is 50 min/hr and what is the expected
unit cost for dozer work ($/BCY)?
