That's an unusual blade for a 700. Most have pat bade never seen one with an outside frame blade. Usfs here in northern az loves the 700s there a good size for a fire dozer. Why do they put plows on there fire dozer back there?

Why do they put plows on there fire dozer back there? Yea, I had only seen photos of 700/750 dozers with an outside blade frame until this dozer, around here the USFS just welds cutting edges or has a custom mini v blade built like the one on this 700K. Here in NC the fire dozers do a lot of fire line building so they pull a disc to use while building the fire lines. I was able to get one short video of the dozer helping to put out the fire.

I really don't get the point of that C-frame blade on the 700K.

I don't know about the plow really. I was thinking taking stumps out might be too hard on the angle cylinders of a 6 ways to keep it on... But then again, we flip dirt and with the 6 ways when the can doesn't have a ripper or there's no disker on site. For sure you can't wear out the cylinders on that blade!

I have been told they don't use a six way blade to save money, and they custom build there own blade like the one welded onto the C frame. There older dozer, was a 650G I think, and it did have a six blade.

Here are some photos I took the other day of some older and some large machines, these machines are all owned by a guy who uses/used them to dig ponds to grow catfish in, he does a lot of the work on the ponds in the fall when it is cooler since his equipment doesn't have AC. As far as I know he owns the largest dozers, scraper, excavator, and track loader in my county. Nine yard Wabco Electric/cable scrapers      Cat D8H  Ex NC Dot Case Poclain 125B     Liebherr 641 track loader, this track loader was originally owned by a demolition company out of VA.    Here is another beast, Liebherr R972HD this one was owned by a construction company out of Va.     Now onto the dozers I came out to see, i only have photos of three of them, but He owns four!! two have 17 foot U blades, the other two have 22 foot U blades. Fiat-Allis 31's This one is having some work done on the UC so the blade is in-front of it.       He hasn't put these two together since he bought them, they used to be used on a Coal stock pile at a power plant. These do have cabs sitting somewhere else on his land with the other weights/rippers and blades, and the 22 foot blades belong to these.    And the one I didnt take photos of had a transmission issue. Next up is a Hancock 292 scraper.    This was originally sold by Linder in Florida, who now sells Komatsu machines in NC, I don't think they had a location here until more recently.  Now this right here was a pleasant surprise, I didn't know that he owned this until he showed it too me. Euclid S24      Euclid 82FD   AM General  His first dozer, a John Deere 450B  He has a few other machines I didnt take photos of or chose not to post, all my photos are on my Flickr.
