Dressta TD-40 Bulldozer Overview and Specifications
#1
Machine Introduction
The Dressta TD-40 is a heavy-duty crawler bulldozer designed for mining, forestry, and large-scale construction applications. Known for its power, durability, and operator comfort, the TD-40 is engineered to perform in some of the most demanding working conditions worldwide.
Engine and Powertrain
  • Powered by a robust Cummins QSK19 six-cylinder, turbocharged, aftercooled diesel engine.
  • The engine delivers a gross power of up to 560 hp (418 kW) and net power approximately 515 hp (384 kW).
  • Engine displacement of 19 liters delivers high torque, around 2,379 Nm (1,755 lb-ft), at 1,300 rpm.
  • Emission standard compliance to US EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA regulations.
  • Variable speed, hydraulically driven suction-type cooling fan reduces fuel consumption by up to 5%.
Transmission and Drive
  • Equipped with a ZF 4WG-310 power shift transmission offering 4 forward and 3 reverse speeds.
  • Maximum travel speed up to 10.6 mph (17 km/h) providing efficient site mobility.
  • Heavy-duty tracked undercarriage with a track gauge of 90 inches and 7 carrier rollers per side.
  • Track shoe width typically 30 inches with ground pressure around 21.8 psi.
Blade and Attachments
  • Standard blade options include Semi-U, Full-U, and specialized Coal blades with capacities ranging from 24.3 to 52 cubic yards (18.6 to 39.8 cubic meters).
  • Blade height around 7 ft 4 in to 8 ft 2 in depending on the model.
  • Maximum blade lift height approximately 5 ft.
  • Rippers offered with 1 to 3 shanks extend machine versatility in tough ground conditions.
Operator Comfort and Safety
  • Spacious ROPS/FOPS certified cab with air conditioning and ergonomic suspension seat reduces operator fatigue.
  • Multi-function joystick controls provide responsive blade and steering input.
  • Enhanced visibility is bolstered by cab-mounted lighting and rearview camera options.
Dimensions and Weight
  • Overall height approximately 13 to 14 feet depending on cab and exhaust configurations.
  • Length with blade varies between 26 and 34 feet with attached ripper.
  • Operating weight ranges around 200,000 lbs (90,700 kg).
  • Weight distribution optimized for traction and stability in severe terrain.
Terminology
  • Power Shift Transmission: Gear system enabling smooth shift change under load.
  • Turbocharged and Aftercooled: Engine features increasing power and efficiency by forcing extra air and cooling it before combustion.
  • Ground Pressure: Measure of pressure exerted on the ground by the machine tracks.
  • ROPS/FOPS: Safety standards for roll-over and falling object protection structures in cabs.
  • Carrier Rollers: Components supporting the upper run of the crawler track, protecting track and undercarriage.
Real-World Performance
In mining operations, the TD-40 has demonstrated exceptional load-pushing capacity and endurance, substantially reducing cycle times and increasing site productivity. Its fuel-efficient engine and advanced cooling systems contribute to lower life cycle costs. Operators highlight the cab comfort for long shifts in difficult environments, reinforcing the machine's reputation for balancing power and operator-centric design.
Conclusion
The Dressta TD-40 stands as a formidable bulldozer offering exceptional power, advanced transmission technology, and robust undercarriage design. Tailored for severe-duty applications, its combination of performance, operator comfort, and operational efficiency makes it a compelling choice for industries demanding reliable dozing capability and endurance under challenging conditions. Careful adherence to maintenance schedules ensures sustained productivity and engine longevity on demanding job sites.
