I see no reason why ethanol couldn't run heavy machinery that was designed for use with ethanol. But since most heavy machinery today is already designed for use with diesel, the logical alternative fuel is biodiesel rather than ethanol. The main problem with any biofuel is the limitation on growing enough of it.

BTW, in WWII the Germans used ethanol to power the fearsome V-2 rocket that terrorized London.
