Why CATS & Dogs?
We come from a fourth generation Caterpillar dealership family.
We also love dogs. Many of ours have been named after tractors:
Dozer. Skidder. Diesel. Ripper. Grader. Track. Bucket. And Logger.
Each has their own story to tell in the CAT-Dogz Adventure Series.

First up... meet Bucket the
English Bulldog. He’s a hoot.

What? No Dogs Allowed?
It’s true. Dogs have been banned from the Antarctic since 1994 to protect

Dogs can drive tractors. Penguins can dance.
Cake and ice cream is an excellent breakfast choice. And kids rule.
So be a kid. Bend the rules a little.

Join CAT-Dogz Adventures
and Enjoy the Ride!

As McMurdo Station began to take shape, yellow snow started appearing. Everywhere. And, since their drinking water came from melting the local ice and snow, that was a big problem. Until

Fergie For The Win

The First Tractor to Reach the South Pole Many tractors have made the trek to the South Pole but only one can claim being The First. On January 4, 1958, Sir Edmund Hilary arrived at the geographic South Pole, exhausted and exhilarated. His team was the first mechanized overland crew to succeed. What made the feat so amazing were the tractors they used: small Ferguson TE20 farm tractors. Fergies. The cabs had no top to them. Very little elbow-room. And they only got 1.5 miles
