How 'bout these?
This was the biggest dozer Cat made till the D11 carrydozer came out.
Two D9s connected with the blade in front and a crossmember in the back. The SxS D9H had 820hp pushing a 24 foot wide blade. Steering stopped one outside track while the other 3 kept going. Production ceased in '77 after the D10 was announced.

They made twins long ways too. DD9s were built to push scrapers on big jobs. DD9Hs had again 820hp. Were produced until 1980. Steering was interesting. To turn right for example, the front tractor's right track would stop and the rear tractor's left track would stop so it could articulate.

Wow, just imagine the damage one could do with something like those beasts. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Yeah I kinda gathered that you might take interest in the dozers. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Never can get enough pics though of any type of equipment.

Many a year ago[ 1960's] the company I worked for had two D9's hooked in tandem [ one operator ] that were used for pushing buggies.

Here's a picture for your collection. Caterpillar makes the DEUCE for the Army. It goes 33 mph on rubber tracks, and is C130 transportable at 35,000 lbs. It pushes about equal to a D4/D5
