On my Oliver I am using planetary gear motors at 52rpm, and I like to use the dual rate switch and slow down to about half that speed on full stick forward while pushing, then full speed to reverse.

I think I'm pushing 25-30 rpm on final drive with the d11. Also depends on how big your sprocket is. But for a starting point, and smaller dozers run a little speeder.
