Benjamin Holt produced the first Holt 75 Track-Type Tractor in 1914 in Stockton, California.
Weighing in at 23,500 pounds, they were the first gas-powered Caterpillar tractor and were capable of hauling tens of thousands of pounds over long distances.
Check out this article from a 1918 Holt marketing booklet explaining how the Holt 75 was a great replacement for horses when it came to moving large loads.
