If you're like me and prefer an implement on the back of a crawler over a blade on the front, the Italian farmers have a TON of videos on youtube of various brands of tracked equipment, including Cat, pulling plows, discs, planting equipment powered and unpowered tillage, and usually on steep hillsides. I like that they're still using steel tracks, and that this causes the industry to continue to supply the equipment, and quite the range too.
Here's a small sample (beware, it's a rabbit hole....) and like most Europeans, they like club music in the background : )

And this unit I just discovered that looks like it has Cat C9 power under the hood - not a small unit compared to the others: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IX4sSdhdg7w
and it's larger version the 430hp weighing 16t - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py1MEU8eoM4 - this one is turning rocks into dirt...

Testimonials

"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."
