I read a book a few years ago called "Sigfusson's Roads".
The guy started a winter freighting company in Northern Manitoba, I believe in the 1940's. They had to go over frozen lakes, streams, swamps and frozen land. Most of the crawlers of choice were TD-6's with no blade. They had other crawlers too, TD-9's,14;s and some 18's. They had several hundred crawlers in their inventory at one time.

It's good reading, not just about crawlers, but all the other problems of operating in remote areas with little support other than what they had along with them. One time they were coming with supplies to a remote Indian village and one of the residents could not believe a red crawler coming in, he had never seen anything like it.
