Wheel dozer vs crawler dozer

The difference between the two machine types is obvious to see, but why would you or should you choose one type over the other.  First of all a Crawler Dozer can range from 75 horsepower and weight of 20,000 lbs to over 900 horsepower and operating weight of over 240,000 lbs.  The difference is the cat tracks. Whilst providing the best traction and grip they can significantly damage the surfaces they are working on. Wheel dozers have less impact on the surface they are working on, they are also more maneuverable so can be positioned more easily and work in small more confined work sites.  Wheel dozers have a smaller axis and are sometimes referred to as a tire dozer.
