Things to Check Before Renting a Bulldozer for Your Job Site
Renting the right bulldozer keeps your project on track and your team efficient. Know the details, such as job size, ground conditions, operator skill, and rental support before booking.
What Size Bulldozer Fits Your Project?
Pick a machine that matches the work:
- Compact jobs: Cat D3K2, Deere 450K – perfect for grading and tight spaces
- Mid-size jobs: Cat D5K2, Komatsu D39, Deere 650K – versatile for commercial sites and mid-scale projects
- Large jobs: Cat D6N LGP – heavy-duty, with a 13’ 6-way blade, allows for serious dirt moving on large scale jobs.
- High-performance option: Komatsu D51PX or D39PX TRIMBLE READY, John Deere 700K equipped with a triple shank rear ripper
What Are the Ground Conditions?
- Soft or muddy ground: LGP (wide track/wide blade) models like Cat D5K2 LGP or D51PX provide stability
- Rocky or hard soil: Larger, heavier machines like Cat D6N or John Deere 700K
- Slopes: Generally wide track equipped dozers are suited to steeper slopes or difficult terrain due to wider stance and surface area of track on the ground.
Traditionally, dozer operation generally requires skilled operators, but machine control systems such as TRIMBLE allow for non-skilled operators to operate with precision and efficiency.
Rocrents now offers TRIMBLE-ready dozers like the Komatsu D39 and D51, giving you more options for late model, technologically advanced machinery, available for rental.
This also allows our clients to use their own Trimble Equipment on our Trimble-ready dozers.

- Daily, weekly, or monthly rentals
- Maintenance and breakdown support
- Large well maintained fleet allows for flexibility when emergencies happen
