Dozers and scrapers
A bulldozer is a crawler equipped with a substantial metal plate (known as a blade) used to push large quantities of soil, sand, rubble, and other materials during construction work and typically equipped at the rear with a ripper to loosen densely compacted materials.

Bulldozers have been further modified over time to evolve into new machines which can work in ways that the original bulldozer cannot.
In an angledozer the blade can be pushed forward at one end to make it easier to push material away to the side.
Another modification is a tree dozer which is an attachment for a tractor or bulldozer consisting of metal bars and a cutting blade, used to clear bushes and small trees.

Pull type
Pull scrapers are able to move in soft, wet soils, as well as sand. Unlike the motor scraper, pull scrapers are not motorized and must therefore be pulled by another vehicle.
Tractors
Nowadays tractors are widely used in agriculture and industry. In different branches of industry tractors are used as road transport tractors hauling heavy loads. Tractors may be agricultural, special and road transport tractors.
Road transport tractors are equipped with a load carrying platform. Special tractors are usually equipped with auxiliary devices. Tractors may belong either to wheeled-type tractors or to track-laying type tractors.
