Which machine is suitable for levelling land?

Levelling involves pushing and evening out soil at the surface, not digging in depth; for this reason the right machine is a bulldozer, not an excavator.

Bulldozer or excavator?

Typical bulldozer work

  • Preparing land for construction.
  • Stripping the topsoil before foundations.
  • Levelling platforms for industrial buildings or car parks.
  • Pushing and compacting fill material.

On large areas, a bulldozer is several times more productive than an excavator, as it works continuously by pushing.

💡 A bulldozer is used for levelling land. The 18 t Liebherr PR726XL bulldozer costs RON 2,500/day with operator, excluding VAT, and is suited to platforms, topsoil stripping and pushing soil.
