So, since pretty much no one here has seen this, let the bashing begin.

Looks awesome! Looks like the rear is an old 988 and is the front a Champion 100T? Very interesting.

I like the track frame and chains on the back of the blade to support the side shifting. Definitely an original out side the box creation. I like it. :drinkup:usa

Any production advantages over a cat 24? I'm surprised it doesn't have a newer cab for the 1 piece windshield.

What the heck is it? Says CAT but it doesn't look CAT. Front almost looked like new production while the rear end looks dated. No drawbar but a push type instead. I've only seen that on some compact graders. I'm stumped but one thing is for sure....its BIG!

I been trying to figure out the point of this beast also? seems like a real dozer and a real blade would be more efficient?

Brian, It's a one off machine built by Brent Engineering out of Irvine California. Ron is the owner of the company and the designer of this beast. You can bet he's put some thought into this and has plans for it. It's built out of Cat 988B, 834B, 836B, 235C, D10N, and 657B parts.

Looks like a hot ticket to do knock down and compaction with a spread of 100 to 150 ton belly dumps.

Another neat toy from a master of the one off machine.
