It is, I have heard of a 430 set up even wider. I have also seen a 420 that is probably 6' high, used for tree transplanting of some sort.

Hi,

Yeah, I saw that one a week or so ago, and posted an 'anyone ever seen this one before?'...

I guess he didn't sell it. I think it's cute, but how in heck would I yank the thing home? My trailer bed is only 6 foot wide. I suspect I'm not the onlty one who's looked at his auction and asked himself the same question!

Well it looks like "jdcrawlers" out of Horace, North Dakota is the current high bidder, wonder who that could be? LOL

Hello,
This thing looks kinda spindly but I would kill for a set rails that good.
Since there seems to be no three point on the crawler how could you
do anything in the field with it.It could pull a wagon but then anything on rubber would be more efficient.JMHO.Jim Anderson

I had some more pics of it, and I can tell that at one time in it's life, it had a 3PT hitch.

Do you still have pics of this on your hardrive?

No, I deleted them quite a while ago. I actually was in Kansas City this summer, and drove over and looked at the crawler.

It looks like it didn't sell again. If anyone ends up being interested in that crawler, Holden is not too far from me and I could probably swing by there at some point to get some pics for you.

Has anyone called them to see what the reserve price is? It can't be much higher. They may be ready move it with the lack of attention that "rare" piece got on the auctions.

The auction you are looking at with that link is an archived auction, the crawler sold several months ago.
