Classic Earthmovers | 2x Caterpillar 830 MB Scraper Tractor [ex US Army] Field Leveling

- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2019
- in the fall of 2018 I came across by chance these two great looking and sounding Caterpillar 830 MB Scraper Tractors belonging to contractor Emonds uit Boekel in the south of the Netherlands. This company still operates 3 of these machines, along of some other rare equipment, like a fleet of 5 Schluter tractors.
Great to see these machines still working hard as of today. But i'm told it is difficult to find people to operate them as they not very comfortable to drive.
The 830MB's were built from 1962 to the early 1970's exclusive for the US Army. These two specific machines were used by the army in West Germany till the late 80's.
No smoke no poke!
Thanks for watching!

Used to use these tractors to tow army tanks around. Good old tractors.
Im a scraper operator for over 30yrs,mad about them.Never seen these badboys before,im impressed.
Thank you! The interwebs seem to be devoid of these machines! My US Army unit had Clark M 290s but other engineer units rebuilding tank ranges in Grafenwhoer, Germany in 1984 operated these!
old caterpillar tractor scraper still works thats the quality of caterpillar state of the art reliable equipment.
What an beasts of machine! Thank's for your great content @Tractorspotter !!!
I operated one of these in Vietnam. Got to be damn good with it too.
Was it made by Allis Thank You for your service
@@dennisholst4322 No, Cat. There were 290 Clarks and 830 Cats. The 290's were always in the shop. Never saw one run.
I stockpiled with an 830. Never had a pan hooked to it.
As a 62E in the mid 80's, I ran these often for Uncle Sam.
Me 2. 62E231
Great video! Love the drone work too! Really nice edit. Great old machine, never even heard of these!
Thanks for another interesting video, complete with captions and description of why this was uploaded.
I've watched similar (and bigger) scrapers used in Hope Valley, Western Australia in the 1980's, converting a sand quarry into holding ponds for the waste products of alumina refining.
Google Earth shows me they're still being used for storage 30+ years later. Your drone sequences of the _unloading procedure_ answered a question I've held in my mind for all those years _- it's a long hydraulic ram that pushes the dirt forward._
Hi Tractorspotter, thanks for sharing, simply the best video of a CAT 830MB.
Love seeing the old equipment in action👍
Oh yes, I sometimes forget that these were made. They had some of these back in the mid 80s at our local army reserve center. The version they had also included a dozer blade on the front. These must be pretty rare nowadays.
Bowl scrapers? No, they're pretty common and one of the best ways to move a lot of dirt efficiently. Cat still makes them.
Nice to see older equipment still in use and looking well maintained. As always a Great video👍
Nice machines, excellent video. 👍. Powered by Cat D343TA engine producing 359 flywheel hp and burning up to 80 litres of diesel an hour!
Friend of mine has 3 of them with Michigan tractors with blades quite a site when they all start pushing together. He put 400 cummins big cam 3s. There ok but ride rough. And hard to move. Well put tractor on lowboy run airlines to rear axle and tow it down road at 50. Did that once 150 miles, don't think cops would approve nowadays.
Awesome old school scraper video . Need to make a loop on the push scraper and weld a hook on the rear of front scraper to make like a push pull configuration between the two 830 scraper
The 830 I ran had 10 ft hyd blade
I operated these in the US Amy from 1981 to 1987. The pulling tractor had a dozer blade on them as well. Not a fun ride.
That’s cool mate old
School
A site better than a 4-wheel pan. Try a TS-14 or 24 and see, OR a 631 .
I simply love big machines. I would like to operate one of these. For now I can just use my old traktor and machines I can attach on it. But one day...
What !
No D9H to pushload them ?
Lovely machines
We had the Green Army 830MB's in Job Corp
Gotta love the old cats.
Хорошая техника. Помню в детстве, лет 30 назад ещё, в СССР тоже были скреперы. Мощные МоАЗы и еще какие то, прицепные, которых можно было тянут ДТ.
Great video And great machines!!
Had a loop to catch the hook on the rear of the scraper , it be like a push pull operation between the 2 caterpillar 830 scraper
Very interesting to watch. Great video.
Geweldige machines!
Now I know, why all fields in your videos has glass like surface :)
Great video, nice Machines, fantastic to watch, brilliantly edited 👍
Kinda the US counterpart to the Kirovets, but I don't think many were converted to AG use like the Kirovets was.
pilfit the old clark tractors that these replaced were used in AG on occasion
Magnificent video and an amazing machines!!!
Wonderful video have a wonderful weekend
Great kit but surprised only cutting sand,seems like hard work
What crops require an absolutely level field? Or is this a drainage correction? Great video.
mooie machines, en super gefilmd man!
Looks like a backward 960 loader. Very cool but rough riding.
Super gave machines 💪🏻 geweldige video
Does anyone know the expected payback time for this earthmoving experience?
What are they growing to make this profitable? Is this going to be surface irrigation or why would this have to be so flat?
Schitterende machines!
mooi gemaakt Martijn 👍🏼 dit zie je niet elke dag.
сoole machine bedankt voor de video
Is the leveller automatically controlled via a laser site survey instrument, or manual?
It looks like the leveller is controlled via laser site survey instrument.
I think the machines are too old to be controlled automatically or remotely. We see the operator with the three hydraulic spool levers
Why is this done?
To level out the subsoil, and keep it draining properly.
really cool !
That type material can be a buzzard to load!
excellent👍
Nice video !
Aí é forte top de linha 🇧🇷
mooie video , Cat power !!
What would a machine like that weigh
Tractorspotter siempre vídeos TOP⬆⬆⬆😍😍😍
💪💪 seguir así!!!
Seems like a push dozer more efficient than to turn around and push with the full scaper.
Driven these ol scrapers a few times.
Were they as difficult to smoothly co-ordinate your hand and foot controls as they look? It seems easy to be heavy handed and get bogged down quite quickly during the scraping sequence.
@@BrassLock na foot and hand controls were good, you only needed good co-ordination ( compared to other operaters.... i didn't have)😅 but yes you could get bogged down easily especially when you hit some sand/soft soil the blade would dig right in.
I was only a young fella then, but it was amazing how finely some blokes could cut the ground. And how fine they could spread the soil.... which made it alot easier for the grader drivers.
@@sideramet A good experience for a young fella, I'd imagine. I had a fascinating job driving a double-tractor set up, made by a farmer who hooked 2 Chamberlain tractors together to pull a huge set of ploughs for growing wheat, way back in the early 1970's. It was a thrill to drive at night for hours, carefully adjusting the revs of each motor so you wouldn't get one doing more or less work than the other.
@@BrassLock Hello. Is that the tractor in the youtube video "twin engined Chamberlain tractor" ? If so is that you in the video ?
@@jackybruckers No, that's not the one. It utilised much earlier models, with single tyres. A _similar setup_ is shown in the You Tube video "Twin cylinder dual-engined John Deer tractor".
However the farmer arranged it so that the driver sat in the front Chamberlain tractor seat, and adjusted the throttle of the rear Chamberlain tractor to suit the revs of the front tractor, using a cable mounted on the radiator, together with a rev counter.
Getting the revs right was accomplished by looking down at the wheel-marks in the dirt, making sure they weren't breaking up too much, and listening to the "beat" of the engines.
A better look at such setup is "Half Century Progress - 2017 - Plowing 111 Video", at the 4:37 minute mark, you'll see the throttle being adjusted. It's a great video with many dual tractor conversions shown, but no Chamberlains unfortunately.
They need hooks not just pushing anviles
Why would you bother leveling a field that was already flat? You want to see the fields here in Devon UK like small mountains they just work them like the are.
Possibly for irragation
Ga vaker langs bij dit bedrijf
I don't understand - what are they accomplishing and why?
They are levelling the ground, to improve the growing capabilities of the field, as it improves drainage by eliminating low points that could collect water. They scrape soil from the high spots and dump it on the low spots.
Better drainage. That's why roads have a "crown" to force water to edges.
Why the hell haven't they modified these to have a pull bale on them yet? Or get a pushcat out there. That is crazy ineffecient.
You better have one fast dozer if you think you need one. I owned a 1967 830MB and trying to catch it to push was futile. They don't need pushed and they will hang on a slope better than anything I've ever seen. They are indeed a work horse but can be a handful for a greeney.
With Laser they could be landleveling
I missed the push dozer
for what did the army used them for ? to build fortification ? or roads ?
For leveling ground to build stuf on so yes fortifications and roads but also things like runways
Roads, runways, helicopter bases, anything that needed a flat surface.
Co oni robia? Jaki to ma cel?
Zbierają warstwę orną a potem odpierdzielą deep plowing i przywiozą ją z powrotem a do tego równają pole w jakim celu nie wiem. Idiotyczne prawda?
Deep plowing co to jest? Nie równają oni czasem terenu pod szklarnie?
@@RedSickle Deep plowing to oranie na 1-1,5m
Wedlug opisu wyrownuja pole, zbieraja nadwyzki w wyzszych miejscach a potem wysypuja w nizszych. Z wyzszego terenu biora piasek spod wierzchniej warstwy. Nie jest to deep ploughing, bo te maszyny nie sa plugami. Sa to tzw scraper, u nas tego typu maszyny nigdy nie weszly do powszechnego uzytku. Dzialaja w prossty sposob i sa idealne do rownania powierzchni - otwor scraper otwiera sie i odcina wierzchnia warstwe gleby, potem za pomoca tylnej sciany jest ona spychana i wysypywana.
4:20 Why did the tractor on the back pushing the front one?
To make the process quicker
Also, if the dirt was too wet, it was more difficult to pick up. Needed more horsepower. So you had a dozer or another tractor in back pushing you.
What did the army use scrapers for?
Mostly make roads.
@@taddmason1187 makes sense
Anything that required a flat surface. We built roads sure, but also runways, helicopter pads, and brought dirt to build fire bases for the dozers to create berms.
Nice ! Engine ?
Yes it has one
@@crazyyoutubeuser2444 which one ? C9, C13, C18 ??? 🤔
@@lejacksmc the grand daddy to all the c-series. I believe D343 is what's in these scrapers. Similar to 3406A the commercial truck engine that progressed into 3406B, C, E, C-15 and C15. I'm sure I've some of this information wrong but it's close.
Duur stukje land
Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?Why?
It looks at least stupid.
Przemysław Sut why what and how’s it stupid
@@gregshearer423 What's the reason for doing this?
Przemysław Sut to level the feild take the sand from the high spots and put it in the low spots
@@gregshearer423 And you end up with naked subsoil which is not fertile on the places where the high spots were, and sand in places where better soil was.
Przemysław Sut except u don’t when done properly
