I got a deal on the sand, and I'm building a pad in that spot...

Shouldn't that be compacted in lifts?

If you want it concrete ready than yes. If you’re going to just leave it and let it settle naturally than not really.

No concrete going on this pad... I'll level it out to the size I want and water it in...

I assumed concrete when you said "pad".

So, There's a TerraTrac GT30 a little ways away from me that's a LOADER crawler. This is not the actual machine, but it's like the one in this picture...
Having considered the great advice on this thread I wonder if a loader crawler is the best of both worlds. I'd have the traction of the crawler, but the loader option to actually pick dirt up and move it.
Or is this the worst of both worlds??

I think a crawler loader is more likely the best of both worlds. I'm always on the look out for one.

In the same price you can get a worn out dozer you can pick up a wheeled or tracked skid steer and do more than a tractor inmost dirt moving situations.
