Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a bulldozer has a haul distance of 100 meters and operates at a speed of 4 m/s with a manual transmission maneuver time of 0.1 minutes, calculate the total cycle time.

💡 Hint: Calculate push and backtrack times based on speed and distances.

Question 2

Discuss the impact of transmission types on productivity when operating in a terrain with steep grades. Provide calculations showing differences between manual and automatic systems.

💡 Hint: Consider how grade impacts speed and hence cycle times differently for each transmission type.
