Here are a couple more pipeline job photos. They were found in an album at an antique store in Bolivar, NY. Not Caterpillar but still fit the topic.

What's that wacky crop with the rectangles in the field? I couldn't imagine clunking through 100s of acres of that

No clue what the crop is, but the checks in the furrow are so the water is dammed up, giving more time to soak in. Picture is labeled Kansas, and crops there could always use one more rain.

Here are a couple more pipeline job photos. They were found in an album at an antique store in Bolivar, NY. Crossing the river - no tags on the pictures to identify the location.

I'll Bet the barge is sitting on the bottom. Then the dozers are pulling it back and forward across the river

It has to be sitting on the bottom or it would all be on the bottom! Recognized the Cletracs as well. Great photos.
