we need to get bulldozer off island on the frozen lake. Need to know how much ice will support that kind of weight. Bulldozer must weight about 1600 pounds
your weight is soooo wrong. Even a small bobcat weighs 4500 pounds!
The bulldozer only weighs 1600 pounds? If so, 8-12 of ice will reportedly support it, although I'd feel much safer with at least 2-3 feet. I suggest you try to verify the dozer's weight beforehand!
