Reported are the results of research to determine the feasibility of oscillating a bulldozer blade to improve productivity. In particular, the research was directed toward determining the optimum oscillating mass, frequency, amplitude, and direction; to determine the power required for oscillation; and to conceive practical configurations which could be integrated into a dozer and which would prevent the oscillation from damaging the tractor. Three full scale configurations for the U. S. Army D-5 tractor (20,000 lb vehicle gross weight) were designed to explore different directions, frequencies, amplitudes, and masses. Two of the configurations were built and tested. Results are discussed.
