Been in the dirt world since I was born. Heard all the family stories about the cable operated stuff, the first backhoe, nothing but straight blade dozers and that thing never crossed the realm of possibilities.

Is that what happens when a loader and dozer put food and drink in each other in a romantic manner??

What would be the use case for something like that? Too soft for a rubber tired loader, but you don't want to tear up the ground with a track loader?

Something dense as fuck where you need the bite of the steel track in order to fill the bucket.

There is some weird stuff in the forklift catagory.

I was wondering the same. The tracks give some more flotation and traction for the load over front wheels, I guess? Maybe it was part of the quad track development process?
And to continue with the oddballs...
Ford 9N powered roller.

Somewhat surprised that for having a Warren winch that it doesn't also have a Cummings engine...

Says 4cyl Cummings in the first sentence.
I have zero use for it, but still kinda want it.

Maybe stability? That looks like pretty high reach, perhaps the longer tracks prevent tipping over?

No, it says Cummins in the first sentence... That was my point. 😉

LeTourneau 6-B 150 electric drive scraper.
I have no idea what it is, something middle east oil field related probably.

I ain't the one to blame.
I really wish I knew what that was designed for.

There is a class of tractors referred to as "high crop" or "high clearance" tractors. Think of modern day spray-coupe type stuff. That one seems excessive, but I'd guess it is along those lines.

It’s a Florida mud bog tractor.

So it's just a flatbed that needs a crane to load/unload?
Says 55,000 lbs capacity. I'd like to see what's under the deck that can handle that much weight.

Probably stores them on a rack similar to this one:
Die Storage & Retrieval System | Macrodyne Technologies
Macrodyne supplies die storage & retrieval system for dies or die sets from several hundred pounds to 100+ tons. Contact for more info.
macrodynepress.com
From what I understand, it seems like those carts are preferred to a forklift for moving dies around because they're made specifically to support it the same way that it would if it were in the press, less chance of screwing it up in transport that way.
Is it, is it not, I'm sure someone on here has first-hand knowledge vs me reading up on it.
