I need back surgery just from watching this hats off to the operators. You feel every rock and bump take a toll on you after 35 years.
Grade the haul road, hurt my back too.
Ain't that the truth!
Brought back memories! Found myself reaching for my advil! Those machines will beat you like you owe them money!
I was in one of those scrapers. You are not wrong. 5 years running one and I've aged 20
This isn't a parking meter maid job

Nah they ride better than a fat gal on a water bed
🤣🤣😭😭!!
Thank you for a lovely video with no annoying and distracting music, just throttle and turbo.
What an awesome sight! I have never seen that many push pulls on a job. Very cool that someone could handle the logistics to make this work out and move that much material in such a short time. 👍
whats next job for all those machines?
Really appreciate the team work in compacting boils and soft ground on the haul roads. Great vid and share !
Holy cow! 4 millions?! Amazing project. Great shots. Stay healthy!
Thanks Benjamin, you stay healthy too
Advanced work ethic
That was impressive Working nicely together as a team. Well done and thanks for the video. Always like watching.
Thanks Scott
There's a team of six of those scrapers preparing the ground on an old golf course behind my house that will soon be a housing development. They are fascinating to watch as they move in and around the other heavy equipment.
Wow so many people actually showed up to work. Lol pretty impressive site awesome work
When you never outgrow your Tonka trucks...
So freaking awesome!! All that cat diesel power!!! Love it!! I want to be one of the mechanics that works on them!
I can’t even imagine not only the fuel bill but the overhead for a project like this!
$1000 - 2000 a day in fuel. Sites we built were smaller 10 -20 acres and were roughly a million dollars to build. That includes everything.
Excavating site
Clay liner
Plastic liner
Another clay liner
Crushed stone layer
And leach-aid piping (they pump/remove liquids from landfill)
@@anthonythorp7291 the fuel bill was well over 2 grand a day on this job
@@lumberjaketreeservicellc4002 at this one job I worked at for building a geothermal pad at alpine valley in Nevada we burned no less than 800 gallons a day and we had 1 dozer, 2 scrapers, an excavator and a couple water trucks. I'd imagine these guys use 20 times that which would be roughly $45,000 a day in fuel
Anthony Thorp ya right if each machine burned 100 gallons a day x 30 machines x 3.00 a gallon your at least $9,000
Can’t speak on the overhead but fuel was at least 400-500 stegosaurus carcasses per day.
Hats off to the mechanics that have to work on these machines! Ppl have no idea the maintenance that goes on to keep these machines running properly.
🤘🏼🤘🏼
Don't forget the oilers
@@reubeng2110 that's rite ✌🏽
And money which goes on these beasts
True those guys can make unbelievable repairs over night very impressive
@@reubeng2110 I bet those learn from the mechanic
Мой отец работал на таком в Казахстане на Чилисайском фосфоритном руднике при СССР 💪💪💪💪💪
I actually was one of the operators at that job site I remember it well making that landfill
Where was it located
Payroll every week must cost a fortune and fuel and tires. I would assume most of these just go back to a yard and sit and wait for the next big job and some are probably rented. Big projects don't grow on trees.
@@kevincoleman9761 they're rentals. They all came in from different rental agencies. They get rented out to offer protects after these guys are done.
Dude me too! I was in the yellow one!
@@tjfecteau8001 douchebag said what
Quite a impressive orchestra. Enjoy the loading and unloading shots from above. Would love to see a time lapse of them cutting down the hill.
And I'm excited I got to spread 20 yds today in someone's backyard. Whole different world right here. Love it.
Great video, massive project, had a ride in a Terex scraper in the 70,s my love of all diggers, continues to this day,
Thanks Scott, scrape on😎
Great video, I enjoyed watching this!
I wish it were mentioned where this took place in the description. Also, fuel cost & usage as well as total project cost. Thanks for the upload!
Do they ever reach paydirt? lol
I can watch these videos for hours, thanks for taking the time to film/edit/upload them for us!
Thanks Adam
Yeah, work is fascinating, I could watch it all day long!
me too Love it!
Sometimes they get more production when they put a good looking gal in the fill area counting Loads
Watching this video, I could only think about how much this project costs, to have so many CAT equipment working at the same time. This was definitely something huge.
One 627 scraper in Kansas with an operator is 250 an hour.
So 2500 bucks for a ten hour day.
The scrapers in vid are bigger so more expaepens prob 300 an hr
Imagine that fuel bill!
gas is free atm
@@simanova837 ya, but try the diesel bill. These puppies dont run on gas.
@@brandoncaldwell95 gas and diesel both come from oil so they usually both follow the same trends. Gas is down a dollar from what it was a year ago, diesel is down 70 cents. So it's still way cheaper now than it would have been a year ago when you're burning a couple thousand gallons a day.
Radio chatter “fuel tanker number 2 is delayed today. Let’s round trip the first driver.”
Imagine the pollution and carbon footprint.
Love how they work in tandem.
Push pull scrapers "pans " when front loads rear pushes
Wow, fantastic quality drone footage!
Another great video. Love the drone work and editing. I don’t know they ran as push me/pull you. Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Top shelf!
That system has been around since the '60s!
I have never seen so many scrapers in one place, what a sight, most excellent video, chas, Birmingham, uk.
Lol reminds me of bones on star trek saying have you ever seen the like.
Что? Переведи?
I think i counted 50+ pans out there.. i thought our site with 12 of them was a good job.. then i saw this. Awesome!
I'm a plumber so I don't know too much about this aspect of the job this part usually happens before I show up but to me it looks like the dozers rip the dirt up and loosen it and soften it and then the scrapers come through and pick it up and haul it out and that must be more efficient than using the loader and haul truck system, I'm guessing?
You are exactly right.
@@michaelharris1455 sweet
Way more efficient
I'm just amazed how genius the idea of push/pull is
Got two small dumpers and a mini digger, just not the same!!, really good to see this, will watch part two when I find it and any others.
after I sow this video I think God Bless all people of EEUU!!!!... best regards from Santiago de Chile!!
What an awesome video. I love watching scrapers in action. And I thought I was efficient at moving dirt.
I’m on #518 out there in the herd....
Wow, what's it like driving those beasts?
Herd of cats, that's something to see😉
We can't see the numbers. Your name sounds like you operate heavy machinery. "Go get Wade, he'll do it" or something like that. 😉😂
It’s rewarding, fun, rough riding & a great career. In the video it’s looks like we are going slow but on the longer portion of the haul road (2.7miles round trip) we are topping out at 36mph, that’s when it can be fun!
How much fuel is one burning a day?
Great stuff! Keep up the videos. My construction management students love them!!
Best school is get on one unforgotten knowledge
Amazing video, a very efficient way of shifting so much dirt, gobsmacked at that fleet of machinery wow!!!
For every hundred 657s purchased you get a free D11
Would be good if we got some notes on exactly what their orders are when dealing with such huge areas. Like where to scrape and where to drop it off and the before and after. Great vid no less👍
Hear the tubos there is some music note clarification
Great footage from every angle bud, Peed and Cat 657,s, a winning team!
Sure is beautiful...Thank you for that. Earthmovers heaven, I wish I could take a deep breath.
Incredible work and great view 👍🏽👏🏼
Thanks Neftalí
Very impressive. Well coordinated, awesome
Awesome video from a perspective rarely seen. Amazing how many tons that crew can move in a day I’m sure.
Had to get out of the way many times when these run at Sunshine. These Cats can run really fast even loaded. Good video !!
Super video. Incredible amount of machinery. Wish we still had companies still using scrapers here in Ireland. How many scrapers are working there?
Why, are they not still using scrapers in IRELAND????
Always enjoy a upload from you.
The first shot looked like they were setting to race lol.
Thank you stay safe.
Thanks again Scruffy, stay healthy
G'day Scruffy
@@Murphyslawfarm howdy Murphy.
@@scruffy6151 How are you mate
@@Murphyslawfarm doing good staying fat and lazy 🤣🤣.
How you doing.
Retired out of local12 in so Cal and those operators are not getting paid enough for the amount of damage those Scrapers inflict on your body. Scrapers are definetly a young mans game!
Football coaches should run those for a while if they think they are tough
That's some real hustle 👍 efficient operation from first glance
Great team work! Plenty of m3 shifted there each day! Glad I’m not paying the fuel bill, just goes to show there is money in rubbish 👍
Worked for a company that built cells. Ours were smaller, cost a million to make and held 7 million dollars in garbage. Course there is another half to 3/4 million to cap (cover up) the cell.
One can only ponder which has more environmental damage the diesel exhaust made by the digginh and then ultimate burial of the trash or just simply incinerating the garbage. Let alone the ground water pollution?
восхищаюсь инженерной мыслью I admire the engineering thought
I will never complain about the cost of dispossing of my waste ever again.
Fantastic. Thanks for making and sharing.
Oh my god I miss the old days with 637 push pulls. I might even give up my fancy grader for a chance to do that again. Never seen an outfit as big but used to run with 25 buggies
The dirt out there is so damn hard and dry...I lived in No Cal when I was in the service and that's in Sonoma Valley/wine country...The dirt was like rock! It's a lot easier to dig here!
Hard hard ground sucks but so does soft. I got a scraper stuck for 4 hrs. Another scraper came from a couple miles away and couldn't get me out. Semi showed up moved in D8 and still couldn't get out. The dozer pushed out along side me, pushed me sideways into that spot, then dozer and scraper pushed me about 15 ft before I was sunk again. This was repeated over and over again till I was out.
On another job, a scraper got stuck so a second pushed it till stuck too. A dozer then pushed and got stuck as well as a second dozer. Third scraper decided to push everyone backwards and was nearly stuck but foreman showed up in time. All were pulled out one by one by a backhoe.
Those things don’t play when they are belled together. 73 yard a machine, 146 a pair. That’s moving mountains! For scale. A standard on the road dump truck is 14 to 16 yards
Nice video looks like a fun play box
I've never seen that many scrappers in one location, including the Charlotte NC Cat dealership (in the 80's) when scrappers were used more than haul trucks.
I love these videos, not a backhoe in sight!
Drones! Is there anything can't do? Your videos are excellent examples of the remarkable views of large-scale projects that drones can provide.
Drones are noisy yet we can clearly hear the construction machinery without the sound of the drone. How do you do that?
Nice flying and compositions
Great video, thank you! I really miss a timelapse or a vid that shows how did it start and what is the end result
Nice to see a spread working and not having to turn wrenches on them 19 plus hours a day 7 days a week..lol. from the Cowboys operating them..lol job security..
What an escension of men and Equipment
The organized chaos involved having that much iron on one site takes experienced operator's & foreman for sure. Makes the diesel in my veins pump a little faster!
That is just the coolest thing I have ever seen
Must be a huge company to have this many operators.
The biggest machine work i hve ever seen
STILL WONDERING, THIS LOOKS LIKE HARNEY LANE LANDFILL EAST OF LODI CALIFORNIA !
I guess you could count the walk from the parking lot to the buggies as the employee exercise program.
Geile Teamarbeit, zuerst schiebt der Hintere Scraper den Vorderen. Und wenn der voll ist und den Hobel hochfährt zieht der Vordere den Hinteren der in dem Moment den Hobel absenkt. Effizienter geht es kaum. Toll
When I was a kid back in the seventies these scrapers used to have big paddles internet would dig the dirt and throw it up in the holding Bay but nowadays they just run a blade and force it in
what your thinking of are called paddle wheel scrapers and are mainly used for finishing work. Not hogging out large amounts of dirt like the ones in this video.☮😎
Just doesn’t seem as powerful without that coal rolling out those stacks! Still impressive even if those tier4 motors will live half as long as their smoke blowing predecessors.
I've been into anything construction related ever since I was a kid, but, I could watch hundreds of CAT scraper videos, and still have NO idea what it is they even do
They get pushed or pulled along,scraping the soil into the bowl ,then travel the distance to eject or dump the soil load,
Scrapers are simple af. You put diesel in, and then the machine converts that diesel into back problems.
Always confuses me too 🤣 but watching this it is basically collecting soil that's been softed while digging at the same time plus it transports it out the site, which as far as I saw in the video can be way more efficient than using giant excavators, loaders and dumpers.
I agree, this is amazing. So many!
Awesome footage!!! That’s an Army of Scrapers! lol…
A landfill like that one can provide few years off energy for many homes
looks like organised chaos so far.
Running tandem that's awesome
Hi
Perfect job with lots of room to quad up the buggies and use half the operators. Bad for operators but no time lost waiting for the pusher. Just a thought.
Thanks for listening!
Sure beats dump trucks and buckets.
நேரம் மிக முக்கியம். 👌🙏, அருமையாக இருக்கின்றது
Best for work progress , Graders & water tank every time work on both side , for Scraper road maintenance .
A great upload, thanks but what the hell was the fuel cost per shift? .... I had the pleasure of operating a 57 in early 70s on M62 UK they didn't even have a cab!!!! Memories huh!
Holy shit that's a lot of equipment
Quelle fourmilière ! des millions de chevaux et de dollars....grand merci pour ces super prises de vue 👍👍👍
BadAss Vid!! The only bad thing about it is when it came to an end🙁
I know what you mean 😥
Thanks Mark and Scruffy, I’ll try and get Part 2 uploaded soon!
SoCalEarthMovers Thanks!! Are you trying to satisfy one of my addictions before that gets taken away from us too??
This is some!!!! of the fleet???? Wooooow!!!
I always wondered how hey emptied the dirt from scrapers. Now I Know.
Glad
to see the scrapers practicing social distancing lol
That’s a lot of money right there.
Is this really the most efficient way of doing this? Would a belt feeding system be faster and/or cheaper?
Faster? Probably not. Cheaper? yes. However, this is probably the best plan of attack for the region and operation they are doing.
I believe this is the cheapest way also this is in California so it could be in an area with a very thick hardpan or that clay which is a pain in the ass to dig through. This is probably the most logical way to do it.
@@The_yeffy1 looks to be more sand or silt than clay. Im sure clay is present in the area. This is based in southern California. The creator has a website and Facebook. Says iron is present in his area also which leads me to believe its more sand. Sandy loam, and silt.
It depends on how large your project is, the type of soil that you have to move, how far away you have to haul the soil, and how much pollution you're permitted to emit.
For hard or wet soil, or long distance hauls, or excavations of over 100,000 cubic feet, excavaters with multiple trucks forming a line will be more efficient and pollute less.
For short distance soil moving and medium sized projects, with suitable soil quality, scrapers can work. The main reason for that is that you wouldn't be using huge dump trucks for mid size projects, so scraper capacity remains competitive for those.
A fleet of scrapers like shown here doesn't make much sense IMO and is the old fashioned way of doing things. It only works because they're practically driving in a circle - very, very short distance. The pollution is insane, though.
Are those scrapers GPS guided on both depth and position? Bcoz they seem to get dirt too litttle at a time.. I havent seen this machine yet, only on internet.. we build landfills too and we only use excavators, bulldozers, and dump trucks.. Grader comes in last for final grading.. thanks
Wonderful. American earthmoving at it's best!
Je viens de comprendre qu'il travaille en binôme, en fait un qui pousse pendant que l'autre prend la terre une fois plein c'est le 1er qui tire le second pour qu'il puisse charger, trop bien fait !!! bravo et belle flotte !
Very few places have soil conditions that allow for this kind of excavation.
It looks like 34 scrapers at about 420 gallons each, plus a couple 10’s at 315 gallons each, plus whatever compactors and misc grading equipment, prob running close to 20,000 gallons per shift. That must be a heck of a limit on somebody’s QT card...
Ben Key are you factoring in the dozers too?
@@incontruth4116 i'm guessing that's what the 10's are
InConTruth - Yes, the D10 dozers were what I was referring to
Way off !!! If you're using 420 gallon each you have a hole in your tank. The old machine I've run got filled up every other day. The new machines need fuel everyday with some only able to make it 8 hrs. 100 gallons a day a machine is typical.
@@anthonythorp7291 I run 825K for a living with Local 3 and I go through 200 gallons in 12 hours .
Just imagine the amount of coke and cheeseburgers to feed all the drivers!!
"Some of their 657's".
How many do they have all total? Holy crap.
Use to work on the adjust floor for scrapers at CAT. Now they let dealers worry about that
А ловко они это придумали, работать в паре👍
