Land leveling pulling carryall or box scrapers.
I've seen old pictures of sugar cane farms in, I believe, Hawaii, that used rubber-tired Cat tractors. May have been used in Louisiana too, I don't know.
Is this what you had in mind?

DW 10 Farming
Back in the late 60's I would guess, there was a farmer over by Genesio, KS that used a DW 20 to farm with. I don't know that I actually seen it working in the field but I've seen it sitting in the field close by the road and I don't remrember what it was pulling. I never really paid that much attention to it and it was about 20 some miles away and only went by it once in a blue moon. catskinner

A DW 10 pulling a landplane...that must have fun trying to get that thing to turn around at the end of the field.
The discription of the landplane leveling land for irrigation is a little amusing, The landplane is the best way screw up a field and after about 10 - 15 years of landplaning a field and the field ends up bowl shaped with about 12" - 18" of dirt that must be cut from the edges of the field.
Kelly, that's exactly what I had in mind. Guess it just has a drawbar / hitch, presumably no hydraulics to operate a ram for lifting, and presumably no PTO. Looks like the one in the top picture has a wight box ? which would make the rear view of the implement impossible, wonder why they did that, you'd think a DW10 would be heavy enough without extra weight, but clearly not as Darrol mentions 2 DW20s with weight boxes.
Very impressive pictures, thanks !
Here 2 DW10 are to plough on a local tractor show.
Are you sure those are 10s. They look like DW 15s to me. catskinner
Our channel highlights machines from the earliest Holt and Best track-type tractors, equipment from the start of Caterpillar in 1925, up to units built in the mid-1960s.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
