This week I received from Keystone Construction Diecast in America this latest addition in my collection made by Classic Construction Models (CCM) and today I was able to take it to the photo set:

• Caterpillar “QUAD” Track-Type Tractor

The first QUAD-Trac D9G was originally designed by Buster Peterson of the Peterson Tractor Company. The original design concept was purchased by Caterpillar and marketed as Caterpillar DD9G in 1968. The Caterpillar DD9G had two Caterpillar D353 6-Cylinder Diesel Engines producing 770 flywheel horsepower (FWHP) and were primarily designed to push load scrapers faster than had ever been achieved before.

This die-cast scale model Caterpillar “QUAD” Track-Type Tractor is made in a limited edition of only 250 pieces in 2018 by CCM in scale 1:48 The scale model is packaged in a deluxe gift box and comes with a signed certificate. I'm the happy collector with in possession #189.

All aspects of the Caterpillar “QUAD” Track-Type Tractor are captured just like the 1:1 version and to the usual level of CCM's exacting detail, including hydraulic lines, Caterpillar 9C Push Blade, Open Operator’s Station with Umbrella and both Detailed Engines are visible through Open Bay. And off course the Weight Transfer Coupling which creates this "QUAD" Push-Pull tractor set. Retail Price: $599.95 and shipping cost.

My first impression: a very complete scale model a nice addition in my Caterpillar D9 Track-Type Tractor series. More than well worth the wait! This is a must have for every Caterpillar collector.

The complete review with more pictures from the model, machine in 1:1 and background information is added in the category Track-Type Tractors
