The TD 24 was 180 engine hp in 1947. It was the most powerful at that time. It took the title from the Allis Chalmers HD 19 that came out earlier that year [163 hp]. The 1955 D9 had 286 hp when it came out. In 1956 it was bumped to 320 hp. It was not the most powerful though. The Euclid [terex] TC 12 that also came out in 1955 had the title of world's largest tractor. It had two GM 6-71's and put out 402 hp and had a 40 ton weight. The largest of all time is a custom built rubber tire dozer for push loading scrapers. It went to work in 1963 and weighed 170 tons and put out 1850 hp. It worked until 1981. The largest crawler you can buy is a Komatsu D 575A2 super dozer at 157 tons and 1150 hp. The largest crawler ever built is a custom built Italian Acco that weighs 183 tons and has two Cat engines totalling 1300 hp. Maybe some day it will be past. Dave
