Hate to quibble but a D-8 would win.

i think the D8 would get squished.

I think so too...a D8 is roughly 20-22 tons (short) while one of these
goes at about 75,000 lb empty. I think they have a payload of 40-50
tons, so a loaded one would be in the neighborhood of 80-90 tons...

The blurbs say that Kennecott's Cat haulers can carry a 240-ton payload.

Any earth-moving equipment aficionados know who bought out the LeTourneauDozer
people?
