Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Since producing its first harvester in 1885 under the Best brand name, Caterpillar has been a leader in the construction and earthmoving industries, and most recently, has become one of the top five in agriculture. While providing limited coverage of Cat construction and mining machinery, this new photo-history provides a concise overview that focuses on the maker's agricultural line, including early steam and diesel tractors and significant postwar machinery. Photos are both archival and modern.


About the Author
Eric C. Orlemann has worked as a professional photographer for over two decades. As the proprietor of ECO Industrial Communications, he counts many of the large earthmoving equipment manufacturers in the industry as his clients. Over the years, Orlemann has amassed one of the world's largest private earthmoving photographic collections. In addition to authoring such works as Giant Earth-Moving Equipment and Caterpillar Chronicle, Orlemann has contributed numerous magazine articles and served as technical consultant for heavy equipment-related programming. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Caterpillar Tractor Book, May 7, 2003
By A Customer
Not just another Caterpillar book! This is the ultimate reference on Caterpillar crawler tractors. Every tractor covered in detail from the origins of the Holt and Best crawler tractors to the introduction of the D9. Background stories include: choosing Caterpillar yellow, and the first diesels. Spectacular color photographs by Eric C. Orlemann are all new, never before published. TABLES LIST EVERY MODEL OF CRAWLER TRACTOR WITH DATES, SERIAL NO. PREFIXES, AND PRODUCTION NUMBERS UP TO THE D9. Never before published in such detail or accuracy (Military models included). Final chapter brings tractors up to date including the Challengers. A superb reference book for every Caterpillar enthusiast.
BONUS:- A table lists every Caterpillar product with date of introduction. (First time published)
