The nice thing about a crawler is that if would generally have a good
ground in case you wanted to put a lightning rod on it... ;-) If you
put a rod on a rubber tired tractor you would have to drag a ground rod
along behind you... :-)
I say that in jest but actually it is recommended to ground a tractor when
doing belt work to ground out a possible static charge. Some of the old
manuals recommended hanging a chain from the frame of a rubber tired
tractor. I never saw that recommendation for one on steel. :-) We did
most hay blower belt work with a 9N or the TO-20. I used to just lean the 3
point Ford/Ferguson drawbar against the tractor somewhere.
