The machine was built for a client in Libya, but was never delivered because of trading restrictions. Sadly, the world’s biggest motor grader was left in Italy as no more than a curiosity for tourists, and it has now been dismantled for scrap.

Also ACCO holds the record for the largest and most powerful tracked bulldozer ever made
According to wikipedia It was built in Portogruaro in northern Italy by the Umberto Acco company. The Acco super bulldozer was constructed mainly of Caterpillar parts; however, many other components were specially adapted. The dozer blade, for example, is bigger than anything Caterpillar has ever made. This bulldozer has a gross weight of 183 tonnes and is powered by two 675 hp (503 kW) Caterpillar engines placed horizontally opposed, which deliver a total combined output of 1,350 hp (1,010 kW).
