Dozer Slot / Blade Production Rate
Loose-yards-per-hour a dozer pushes from the blade capacity, push distance, and push/return speeds. Production falls off fast as the push lengthens - the reason dozing is a short-haul tool.
Formula and source
cycle = push_dist/push_speed + push_dist/return_speed + fixed; cycles_per_hour = working_min / cycle; production = blade_cap x cycles_per_hour.
