DW Series tractors in agriculture ? was created by gauntjoh
I've often wondered if Caterpillar DW10 / 15 / 20 series tractors were ever supplied for use in agriculture, and if so with what type of equipment ?
Does anyone have any information or pictures of their use in agriculture ?
A 115 HP tractor in 1947 in use on the land would have been most impressive.

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.

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

I can't recall his name, but he lived in the Scott City, KS area who had 2 DW10's which he had put #14 motor grader heads on them with turbochargers. He also put big weight boxes on rear, and had special final drive gears built to slow tractor down. Darrol D8H

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 !

Are you sure those are 10s. They look like DW 15s to me. catskinner
