Man, that thing is cool. Looks like inspiration for someone that has "everything".... Could probably work out its travel speeds in each gear estimating the wheel size and assuming direct drive from the final drive to the wheels

Hi, gary in CA.
Various people did conversions for the D2s, D4s and D6s. I believe that Clewiston's down in Florida converted the D6s for work in the sugar cane fields, both 9Us and wide D6Bs - which led to them being called 'sugar babies'.

I don't know where the D4s were converted but I seem to remember that the D2s were converted by an outfit in Canada.

I have seen photos of them before but almost as common as hen's teeth or rocking horse droppings - - - - or honest politicians.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
