1/50 Caterpillar Twenty Crawler "100 Year Anniversary"

When the Caterpillar Twenty tractor hit the market in 1927, no one could have imagined the impact it would have. The neat, productive and popular 20 horsepower tractor fit at the lower end of an existing product line that consisted of designs carried over from Best and Holt, the two companies that merged to form Caterpillar in 1925.

Its enduring claim to fame, however, was that the Twenty was the very first machine to be “all-Caterpillar” from the ground up. Simply put, the engineering and design precedents established by Caterpillar during development of the Twenty formed a foundation for Caterpillar’s first century.
