The reason why tractors use caterpillar or crawler tiers is due to there superior traction and flotation. Which are a great help when the soil is heavy or wet.

Who invented the bulldozer?
That is not easy to answer simply ! -Somewhat like the early adventures in aviation, early earthmoving machines 'evolved' rather than being 'invented'. The main people in this were brothers, Charles and Benjamin Holt and a competitor C.L. Best. They both built 'caterpillar ' style tractors around the early 1900's. These early tractors were steam powered and usually for haulage and farming, but later found many uses. The advent of the kerosene engine (around 1910) and more efficient tracks made the first practical bulldozers around 1912. Caterpillar style tracks had been made by Englishman George Cayley around 1870, but were evolved and improved by Best and the Holts. Around 1920 the Holts opened up the Caterpillar Company and carried on making ever more efficient bulldozers and tractors ever since.
