With that grill in a Cat it goes back to the 30's. Sure would like to have that here would pull most of the equipment we have and do it on less fuel than the wheeled tractors do. Might be a bit slower but half the fuel. Plowed with a D-6 Cat all day long from can see till can't see on 20 gallon per day. 806 on same plow used 40 gallon per day plowed the same acres per day and was about the same length day 806 was a bit shorter day plowing on the same acres but twice the fuel. This was back in the 80's.

That would be like pulling your plow with my 4 cyl Ford, LOL. Most people used 5 gal/ hour working.
