My Cat D4 toolbar tractors

[t4mike]

1st 3 pics show the swing around push/draft beam model, blade on front & tillage tools mounted to rear cross beam. 3rd pic shows cat ditcher mounted. The last pic shows the rear dedicated only model with cat chisels on it. As mentioned before "toolbar tractors" mean different setups on different machines, 3 point hitches had toolbars hanging off them. The only cat tillage tool i'm lacking is a set of 28inch barring and ridging disk, has to mount to 4x7 inch beam. u got any?
thanks for looking.

Sweet pictures!
That is pretty slick how the toolbar moves from the back to the front, I had never seen it done before. Thanks!

That's the same series as my brother's D4. I liked the HD7 that we had better than the D4; it just has a better feel to it.

Dalet,

I think you'll find that IH had a similar setup around BTD6 time

I'm from Crown Point Indiana and the 1st 2 pics were taken at the local fairground tractor show, the last 2 pics were taken at antique cat club national show Portland Indiana 2010.

USA manufacturers marketing ag crawlers that had toolbar options were; John Deere, Allis Chalmers, Case, Caterpillar and International Harvester. I haven't been able to find any toolbar info on Oliver ag crawlers. Most crawler toolbar setups came out early 1950's and are hard to find.

Here is some info about the cat disk ridger i'm looking for.
Thanks for looking

Nice looking D4 Mike!--do you ever have any problems with the hydraulic lines and cylinders over and outside of the tracks. I assume it isn"t used much for taking trees and brush down?

With lines like that u'd really have tobe careful in the woodlot.
thanks 4 looking.
