Nice video you don't see many 651's anymore. What kind of job is this, kinda looks like a highway job. I wonder if Ausie contractors don't use Cushion dozer blades to save on cost. Whoever says that is sand is nuts. It also looks like they are using push-pull's to strip topsoil.
Although watch when he goes into reverse the "slap" of the chain between the final and the rear idler....... could use some pumps of grease in the tension cylinder
I am a former heavy equipment operator I operated a cat d8r with a single Ripper never seen anyone or heard of anyone using the Ripper in sand that must have been some hard-ass sand or some lazy ass scraper pan operators where did those are operator doesn't know what he/she is doing
Hi Gav, IMHO, D11 with C-Dozer would decrease cycle times. The D11T (Denny McCoy's 11-02); C-Dozer was manufactured by DYMAX in Wamego, KS...located opposite Cat Tools. DYMAX uses Cat components for easy replacement @ end of service life. www.mccoyandsons.com/gallery/ Have a good day! Stan
Hi, S. Rawson. I have done a bit of scraper pushing my own self and, yes, I would agree that a cushion push dozer would probably at least equal the cycle times in that narrow cut. That said though, I think I would back myself against a cushion push dozer to at least stay with it in a wider cut. When you can pick up a scraper with a semi-U blade dozer at full throttle in second gear and no bump, you might sorta be forgiven for thinking you are doing sumpin' right. I don't think too many scraper operators would really appreciate being hit with a cushion push dozer square on at full throttle in second gear. And if you doubt the claim that a semi-U blade can pick up a scraper at full throttle in second gear with no bump, maybe there is something left yet for you to learn. Azfer that Luke Davie-Jakobs comment above, PLEEEEEZ, Sir, come on DowNunda and show us how it OUGHT to be done? We breathlessly await the revelation of your 'heck-spurt-eez'. Hi, Gavin84W. Thanks for posting. Good stuff. Just my 0.02. You all hava wunndafull dae. Bess wishuz. Deas Plant.
Great to see a good dozer operator picking up scrapers with out jerking scraper operator neck
Biggest CAT machines of their range - amazing! Sad, you didn't put any more new videos on RUclips.
At Port Macquarie i remember the day you were standing on the batter beside the rd filming
Is that a highway project? Scrapers aren't used anymore for construction here in Ireland so always enjoyable to watch. Cool video 👍
Hello my friend, so long u dont upload a video?
Doesn't anybody use side boards on scrapers anymore ?
Turn a 651 (48 yard bowl ) into 50/51 yard bowl .
And increase your operating cost with reduced life on transmissions, diffs, final drives, engines and cushion hitches
@@Gavin84w some companies at least used to think that the tradeoff was worth it 🤔. Kewitt did at one point.

It is harder or regular blades to.push buggies but the cats more flexable in what it can do
Left track on the push cat could use pumped up
Bigger issue is leaving the dozer in 2nd gear to load the scoop
Can't disagree there

Man those Scrapers are flat moving.
Perfect match
Cut to fill or Cut to spoil
Is this some kind of foreplay?
That's how it's done!!!
Is that big earth-eater stuck, or did he kill the engine and couldn't restart? Was the dozer just given him a friendly push to "bump start?"
Great job buddy
Maybe it's different where ever this was, but we always lined up in front of the push cat, just say'n
If we would have made the push cat chase us so much, we would have been walking back to our car right now
Travis's old dozer from caval
651 one engine,needs help,from a dozer. 657 two engines,AWD,no help needed.
And twice the operating cost for the 657 over the 651

It's funny when a scraper is scared to move without a dozer pushing it.
It,s funny you make that comment clearly not understanding how things work
I know who that is
There's not one operator there,running about half loaded,because they don't know how to load them scrapers painful to watch
half loaded hahaha, should have gone to spec savers
Haha you up him mate
PLEASE EXPLAIN MORE

those guys got know idea how to work machines
And your reccomendations on how to would be????

Hi, Gavin84W.
Thanks for posting. Good stuff.
Just my 0.02.
You all hava wunndafull dae. Bess wishuz. Deas Plant.
have those scrapers got two engines or are the rear wheels hydraulically driven?
One engine on the ones the cats pushing. There are twins goin past thru the vid. The back.wheels are just trailing wheels no.driveline or anything
