   These 3 pictures are from last week at Plain City. The first 2 belong to Paul Pelton. Both are Industrial U's, the first is a welder, the second is a pipe line layer. 
I can't quite see them being driven on the ground. 
Thirty some years ago, a pipe line was laid past our farm, and the pipe laying machines were on tracks.

When I saw this one, I figured that it was used for laying asphalt in residential drive ways.
Latter I was visiting with a guy who said that it belonged to a Flying Farmer who built it and used it to roll his sod runway.
I now wonder if maybe he did crop dusting for hire?
