Saw a thread somewhere with some big ole caterpillar machines. Thought I’d share some from work. I work for a cat dealer in the Midwest.

It was cool as a kid seeing that highway construction stuff for sure! What is really impressive were the big 50 and 100 ton machines they used in the limestone mines.

I toured a section of the salt mine under Lake Erie where they had these in action. It was a very impresive opperation.
Nice - what is your application? Where?

Could've used some heavy cat stuff after the last storm. My neighbor came with his big 4wd John deere loader the next day to dig me a new driveway

Not to take this thread to a dark place but for those of you who have Netfilx, you should watch the documentary call "Tread".
This is about the gentleman in Granby who mowed the town down using a Komatsu dozer. It's pretty crazy how destructive one of those can be.
