Monstrous Snow Clearing Machine Arrives in Brownfield
The 79 ton Dozer built for the Air Force by Le Tourneau Co. arrived in Brownfield after a 10 day trip from Arizona. It weighs 79 tons, measures 67% feet long and 14 feet wide, with 10 foot high tires and a 600 horsepower engine capable of 12 mph downhill. Four Goodpasture employees escorted it from San Simon Arizona to El Paso Texas then to Brownfield. The machine was designed to clear wreckage on airstrips and costs at least 200 dollars for a replacement part.
