This is probably a dumb question, but...I have 18 acres of woods and have an 850 that I just acquired to be a big brother to my 8N. I was thinking about getting a front dozer blade for it to push over the larger saplings and small trees (some dead) that the brush hog can't handle. Will the 850 handle this job, or should I just give up and hire the dozer guy? Would this require a loader so that I can get higher up on the trees? Of course it doesn't have power steering so a loader with a bucket is not my first choice...just wanna get rid of some of these darn little trees everywhere.

Hire the dozer. Use the 850 for clean up after the dozer is done. 850's makes for a poor dozer you will eventually hire the dozer. IN a couple hours the work is done and then some. 850's don't make good dozers.

Steve..... ...a tractor is NOT ALWAYS the right tool for a job. Wheels adn tires just don't have a lottta traction. Before you make up your mind, at least get a couple of quotes from bulldozer operator outfits. A good catskinner can save you alotta money and time..... ....Dell

Don't know about dozzer blade on 850, seems like it would be hard on clutches. I've had this Dearborne 19-53 on my 850 (w/o power steering). I farm a little bit so I would be caught without my loader. If you have good independent brakes it helps a great deal with steering. With a little practice you could get by w/o power steering.
