We sold a few wide-track machines. 1010s, 2010s 350s and 450s. I have never seen one THIS wide.

rrlund is correct, the style in your pics are the modern equivalents, the resort north of me had the crawler with wide tracks for grooming.
 
Ya,White even made a few special trail groomers out of 4-150 tractors. They went to some resort in New England. Vermont I wanna say.
 
Wide track tractors were used in the past to work the rice fields here in California. That tractor is a long was from California. Probably used in some really soft ground somewhere. Stan
 
That H-L-R trans was probably the best part of the 2010. Same as used in the later 450s.
 
My Brother Just bought a 2010 Track loader. (Before He asked Me) But he has worked it 20 hrs and it has sound undercarrage and runs strong. I gave it my wish for best outcomes. He will not use it for radical digging. Jim
 

Maybe 1970 I was grooming at a small ski area with a crawler with what I recall were standard width tracks. Tuckers of the time were not as wide as the ones on that 2010. I was around a lot of Bombardiers back then and their tracks were not as wide as those on that 2010.The tracks on the dedicated use snow cats have gotten wider by increments over the years.
 
I saw that on Craigslist . I wonder if it was used in the muck fields. They use to run wide tracks. I would wonder about the bearings on it with the wide tracks
 
can be dangerous, was running a D3 with wide tracks clearing brush. big vine maple limb got stuck in the pads and came up and whacked me on the side of the head.
 
I believe it's set up for bog use.

Either it was a machine for use in cranberry bogs, or it was set up for use on peat bogs and other soft ground situations like utility line clearing, etc.

In northern MN, utility companies that have to service lines across peat bogs use this type of machine as it's the only thing that won't sink to China out there. Being this is from MI, I'd guess a similar scenario.

Wide track machines are still made. They are called LGP Machines. LOW GROUND PRESSURE. They are used in landfills and coal ash disposal areas where concentrated compaction is a problem.They distribute the weight over a larger area. That one could probably walk on water. I have worked on quiet a few over the years.
 
When I worked at the dealer I installed new pin and bushing kits in a few of those wide track crawlers like that. What a pain to reach up under the pads to get the nuts started on the pad bolts after I had the rails pressed back together.
 
I worked with a guy who got a #6 rebar caught between the pads on a track loader. It didn't hit him, but it laid a stripe across the hood. They come around fast like a big fly swatter.
 
I had a piece of 1/2 inch galvanized pipe come through a small opening in the floor boards of a dozer one time. It almost got me before I got the machine stopped. It hit my left leg so I could not push the clutch.
 
The Mennonite that I buy my seed corn from collects crawlers. That'd look good sitting in his shed.

I was running a 420C with standard tracks yesterday and the same thing happened to me- twice. It's not just wide tracks.
