Got to push some trees with an Allis Chalmers HD5 last weekend and i think im hooked on these crawlers. Last fall i pulled out a JD 4020 with 2 loaded gravity boxes with a D4 traxcavator. Also last weekend i had the oppurtunity to run a struck mini dozer. I have to say it does a NICE job leveling dirt. Unfortunately it decided to shred a belt out in the back 40 when i was pushing trash. Had to run out there with the murray LT a trailer with a winch and a 4 wheeler to get it back home. Lemme tell ya that thing is heavy. 800 lbs sure is alot when your trying to get it up a set of ramps. Also theirs an Oliver Cletrac with a 6 cylinder Hercules diesel in the barn that i need to dig out. BTW the allis has a 2 cylinder 2 stroke supercharged diesel and the D4 has a naturally aspirated 4 cylinder.
Anyways heres some pics for people to look at. These arent mine, but their the same models as the ones i got to enjoy. If you have any crawlers of your own feel free to post them here. Id love to see them. As i said i think i am hooked on these things. I just might have to find a few of my own.

Haven't had time to even look at it yet the guy that dropped it off said just needs batteries and the gas tank should be cleaned hasn't run in 5-6 years but was running well at that time...
