Actually if everything is in good shape the cable dozer isn't bad (IF) you understand how to use it. Lots to go wrong though with sheave bearings, cable etc. We used to have trouble with operators adjusting the clutches to tight so they did'nt have to move the lever as far, all that did was cook the seals in the clutch pack and then the grease would get in the discs, all finished then:Banghead . One thing about a cable dozer is it will go down as long as the cable is long enough opposed to a hydraulic rodding out. Parts for the cable unit were getting really high, hate to guess what it costs today to go through one especially the nut and screw in the pressure plate and the lined discs. If you just use it occasionally it would last a long time though.
