Recently purchased my first Cletrac ADH Dozer. Not a bad machine but it seems it is geared a bit high for a dozer. 1st gear moves quite fast for pushing dirt. Seems like it is geared as a Ag tractor. Any way to lower the gear range?

dont know of any way to lower the gear ratio, that is one the drawbacks to most oliver / cletrac crawlers ,they are geared to high for dozer work.

Only some are geared too high - the ones that were made for farm tractors.
The tractors with the 6 speeds - 4 forward, 2 reverse are geared low enough.
How do you tell the difference between the two? Someone has a AD2H 4N92 for $1,500. Its pretty rough but runs great and tracks are fair. Someone put in a Chevy 6 cylnder. Is that common? This one has a home-made dozer blade attached. Looking to push dirt around the place not a collector. THX Dean
