The bulldozer will weigh about 13000 lbs depending on attachments. So you will need a truck with a tow rating of 20,000 or higher when the trailer weight is added.
Well, for this to be answered, there's a lot of information missing which would need to be filled in, such as:Tare weight of the power unit (the truck itself)Tare weight of the trailer - there are many different types of trailers, and different tare weights associated with themWeight of the cargo (in this case, the bulldozer). Bulldozers come in many sizes. Some are small enough to be transported on a standard five axle unit with a stepdeck or even flatbed trailer - some are much too large for this.

GVW means Gross Vehicle Weight. That's the maximum permissible weight of the truck plus the trailer (in the case of a combination rig) plus the load. Therefore...if you take your dump truck, hook a 20,000-lb empty trailer to it and put a 25,000-lb backhoe on the trailer, the truck needs to weigh less than 25,000 lbs if you want to remain legal.
13,700 lbs.
About 13,000 pounds.
Roughly 10000 lbs
Well I know A cat D7 weighs 25 tons.
The 1998 Case 1150G bulldozer has an operating weight of approximately 11,500 pounds (around 5,216 kg). This weight can vary slightly based on specific configurations and attachments. Always consult the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate details.
The 1963 1000D Case bulldozer typically weighs around 12,000 to 13,000 pounds (approximately 5,400 to 5,900 kilograms). The weight can vary slightly depending on specific configurations and attachments. This dozer was designed for various earthmoving tasks, making it a robust machine for its time.
The Case 450C bulldozer is equipped with a Case 4-390 diesel engine, which has a displacement of approximately 3.9 liters (or 239 cubic inches). This engine typically produces around 75 horsepower, providing the necessary power for its operation in various construction and earthmoving tasks. The 450C is known for its reliability and efficiency in mid-sized dozing applications.
GVW is gross vehicle weight which is different than GCWR (gross combination weight rating). Pulling a trailer weighing 10 tons should not cause you any problems. However I am assuming you have your dump tagged at a little less than 55,000 to avoid paying heavy use tax. Even if this is not the case and you have tagged it for a heaver weight be aware that pulling that trailer while dump and trailer are loaded may put yousignificantly over your tagged weight. Just watch your gross weight or you can re-tag your dump for 80,000. When GCWR is not available on the power unit DOT will add the GVW for the dump and the trailer to get a GCW (gross combination weight).
