years ago i saw a FIAT crawler on metal tracks with a mounted sprayer, i used to roll with a Track Marshall.

I worked on a farm in the '90s which had an MF (Landini) metal tracked crawler which they used to use as a lgp sprayer - it had wood blocks fitted to the plates so it could go down the road easily.  They only used it for a few years - with the weight of the front and rear tanks, it rocked back on forth like a ship on a heavy swell.  When I knew it, they had retired it to powering the Opico batch dryer, and ferti spreading on the steepest grass banks.  Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending how you look at it  :-\ ), whilst left unattended on the drier one day, it caught fire and burnt out.

Another farm I worked on had a Fiat-Allis 90 which was used on irrigation pump duties in the summer when it had no land work to do.
