Bringing back a year-old thread. I found some more pictures, and from the unit numbers they have at least three of these units! # 610 in the previous photos, and #609 and #611 here.

Anyone know who did these conversions?

Its been a few years since I was there, but if I recall correctly they are an in-house custom design and build.

CAT made a prototype of this machine, looked quite good, its in the book "The Caterpillar Cronicals" it was basically a 639D with another 3306 mounted in the bowl driving an auger arrangement to off load into a truck
It looked alot less agricultural than the ones pictured
