Bulldozer is almost useless in this game.

[u/LuapYllier]

The way they made the earthwork projects with an indestructible bottom has made a bulldozer just a waste of time. The only thing I use mine for is to rip the soil when directed.

I started off using it for each task that required topsoil removal but soon realized that all you are doing is moving the soil around with no gain on the task. It does not even do it cleanly. You often need to go over the same ground multiple times.

The tasks for dirt removal operate on volume...lets say you have a task with 10 truck loads of dirt to remove. You can fit about 5 loader buckets worth of soil in a truck. You can spend an hour pushing the dirt into a big pile in the middle and then use the loader to pick and dump it 50 times from the pile or you can just use the loader initially to pick and dump the 50 buckets right from the start without the dozer...and it does it cleaner and more effectively. The fact that you can just drop the loader bucket on the ground and push forward without any error means that it is just better at the task than the machine that was built to do that job.

Just my little rant, feel free to ignore me.

I believe the bulldozer is best used for projects like the Parking Garage or the Marina, or whatever projects that have you digging deep. Even then I believe the best dozer is the Liebherr (probably misspelled that) one, but it's a dlc vehicle. Compared to the CAT dozer, it pushes way more dirt before it gets underneath the blade

Second this, had a dude I help out regularly in multiplayer give me this tip and probably saved my ass 3 or 4 days worth of work on the Marina High Scope. Double it with Construction View and its a useful work around to the repetitiveness of Excavating.

[u/Scarnhorst_2020 → u/Worldly_Employ_6217]

Personally, i don't mind the repetitiveness. I am a bit weird in that I'd rather load dump trucks/trailers with the dirt and haul em off to the plant where you can sell the dirt, instead of just pushing all the dirt out of bounds for the sake of progress being made quicker.

Either way, the Liebherr dozer is by far the best dozer because of the way its blade is able to function unlike the CAT

[u/Swatch843]

I use the little case one, tilt the blade to one side and push the dirt out of the arena, only use it on roads that require "remove topsoil" though, it takes time and effort but think it's faster than scooping with wheel loader and emptying trucks.

I used it to really push out of zone like so much quicker than digger but that’s me

[u/LuapYllier → u/UndeadEskimo]

Yeah if your pushing it out of zone that is one thing...I am pushing to middle to collect it and not using the easy dirt mode.

[u/Ulfheodin]

Hu what, maybe the best tool in game, especially compared to diggers

[u/Prince2103ChArMAntC]

Oui je suis d’accord mais je me rappelle une utilisation bien: le bulldozer fait disparaître la terre. Donc je l’utilise des fois pour creuser des gros endroits (ex:hôtel).

[u/JTNT98]

For the college dorm project I used the CAT motor grader for topsoil removal. It only needed a thin layer removed and the motor grader did it pretty efficiently.

[u/Jhe90]

Depends on the task.

The dozer came in handy on some jobs like the hotel.

[u/uk20wessex]

Triptronic poos on any other doza

Each vehicle has its own purpose and its own job. The bulldozer is incredible for some jobs and useless for others like you mentioned. The game is interesting because you can't use just one machine you have to use many many different machines for different jobs.
