this may be better in tracked vehicle section , it's a tracked dumper |

To me it is better in the construction category (as it is the primary purpose/category of the vehicle) |

It might be one-of-a-kind built in Hawaii for all I know. Maybe could figure out what the trademark on it is. |

H is part of the fictional company in movie plot, the sprayer in the movie also has it and dunno due to bad image quality but IMO look more custom build on a crawler tractor than purpose build dumper with better quality the track chassis may give away clues crawler dumpers never really became popular to this day cos as are very few producers of it (most likely due to low demand) -- Last edit: 2015-04-19 12:22:12 |

Koering did produce a crawler dumper in the 50s but it's not this very strange machine http://www.album-mmt.it/details.php?image_id=6801 -- Last edit: 2015-11-21 14:22:34 |

So it's probably like a Caterpillar rigged up for hand-planting pineapples? -- Last edit: 2015-11-28 18:24:56 |

yes very likely custom build based on a normal CAT crawler , movie is on DVD so wished someone would add proper shots instead of faded out VHS -- Last edit: 2015-11-28 18:29:05 |

![[Image: snapshot20151210190723.26.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/snapshot20151210190723.26.jpg) this looks to be a crawler tractor with this structure on it and looks like a farming vehicle -- Last edit: 2015-12-11 18:42:27 (antp) |
