We’ve got 4 657e in behind our house digging a pond, and putting in a sub division, this has to be one of the best videos of scrappers I’ve seen, thank you for making this video, also clarity is clearest I’ve ever seen. Again thanks, new sub.
We use to take Scrapers off of hills so steep that dirt would come over top of the apron and hit the back of the cab. Good video. I believe they were 651 single engine.
Man O man that takes me back to being a kid making the same noise going down them hills rippin an a roarin! Of course my machines said tonka! Hahaha what fun!! Thanks for posting
The pile IS the fill area. The rock trucks started it and squared it out, but then another site had a couple 657s available so I put them to work. I had never intended on using scrapers hence the pile being built the way it was but as you see the twins made short work of turning it into a scraper pile.
Probably the 50th time I've watched this vid... Makes me want to go find a place I can run a scraper... Wrenched on 627's and 637's for 20 yrs, about time to get out and break one for a change. I HATE fixing them but this looks like pure clean fun to me!
Awesome vid👌! Worked with a very well known British Scraper firm called Neil Becher on a job years ago and they use to do exactly this with 657B's & 637 Push/Pulls. They were fascinating to watch😮!!
The 657E was a hoss ! I ran these for years when they came out ! It's a crying shame that environmentalist and Dumbocrats have stopped these powerful creations! Those 3412 in front and 3408 in the back together kicked out around 1000 hp that was like a V8 gas motor on steroids! I've been around scrapers for years! These was first ones I ever seen could haul a full load heaped and shift up while going up hill! Last ones I ran where G series and they where just plain doggy! Lucky to pick up dirt down hill!
As a mechanic i hate 657e and 657k scrapers. They are piles of junk that break down all the time. The aftertreatment and electronics on the 657k drive me insane. I hate the v12 and the v8 on the 657e cause they are a pain in the ass to work on and pull. Parts and schematics are a nightmare. I do love the 657g. Easiest scraper to work on, a blend of old school and modern technology, and are more dependable. Fuck j-pipe and hoses on all 657 scrapers
Originally this stockpile was being built with trucks, so you build it shaped like a box so the trucks can dump off the edge. Plans changed and we started moving material with scrapers which have to dump going up over the pile rather than being able to back in and dump. This forced us to round off the pile making it into an inverted U shape.

One final thought. Wear hearing protection. I first noticed I was losing my hearing listening to the high pitched hydraulic scream from the front power unit. Man, that's been 40 years ago but it was the best job I ever had. Movin' dirt, it don't get no better than that!
Damn Skippy it does. But I got mad at the owner of an excavation company I worked for in Fort Worth Texas and decided one day I was gonna flip one over. And you know what? I could not do it! Very tough and cat like (excuse the pun) machines, despite looking otherwise
Thats a double good on that. We once had a new freeway goin through a fairly populated area and the TV cameras were there with the whinging neighbours and i got in on the act and they asked me about some stuff to which i replied "the sooner the 11,s and 51,s are in here the better" there was not 1 person in the group of 50 or so that had any clue what i was on about but it was funny as phuck to me.
Scrapers aren't indestructible but close to it. It's the operators that have a limited life span! 1. Ya gotta watch hitting the right corner of the front power unit as it will rupture the fuel tank. 2. When turning hard R or L, stay off the rear throttle. 3. As long as you're going straight, it helps if you use the differential interlock. Tires are expensive! 4. What these guys are doing isn't all that dangerous. 5. When traveling, keep the can low and your hand on the hoist lever. FYI
Many years on 37's 57's. Ran 9g's hard nose pushcats, cushion dozers, 51's. Yep faster than dozer, and there probably at least at least 3 more waiting for tomorrow to hook up with these 3 and that material will be somewhere else. .. tophand 74 yrs old.
The time it took me to knock the pile down (6 minutes) wouldn't be worth having the dozer walk over to do it. The scrapers couldn't work until the pile was fixed for them so it was quicker to use them.
And not only that,,, it's set up better for them if they build it. Sometimes it's best if the machine your using does the prep work. A dozer can work a bench for a loader all day long and the loader will still need to smooth up for his task.
Transportation must be realy cheap in Canada. Moving a D11 in Norway cost about $20 000! And talking about putting money in the wrong machine, some company rented a D11 from another and payed the transportation, just to get it stuck after a few pushes of dirt.
Love watching these giant machines "eat" hills! CAT scrapers are the best in the business and beautifully-built. 👍👍
waiting for the chosen one to go over the top...would love the operators viewpoint..balls of steel..
Ce travail est une véritable œuvre d'art. Bravo !
I operate a Volvo gooseneck k-tec scraper but yours looks so much more powerful ! Love it totally badass
Это же как надо идеально чувствовать габариты такой махины. Просто восторг
These always reminded me of a mechanical land dragon the way they articulate. Coming over the hill wiggling for traction the image is solidified.
I spent so much time as a kid watching this kind of stuff. Awesome flashback!
In the late 90's I worked a job in Buford Ga and there were 10 655's on that job along with 777 rock trucks! Biggest machines I have ever seen!
Was that the mall of Georgia construction?
@Israel Swearingen yes it was in Buford GA.
I love these and especially those menacing Ol green terex bone shakers!

Yeah but on the other hand crashing straight walls is fun.
looks even crazier from this POV. lol they make driving a scraper look so friggin fun.

That's all it is. Just jeep your behind behind you and gopher it!
If you operate one like these fuckwits the only thing ull be doing is fixing them
Under rated and a great machine for this type of job. Nice to see. A fair bit of earth moved there. Looks faster than a dozer to me
These operators are at another level!
Dont be be soft 😂
😂😂😂😂😂dont think so not rocket 😂
Looks like so much fun. I operate a 621k and it a blast.
Awesome vid👌!

Awesome video! That is one machine I really would love to learn to operate. Then again, like watching it more.
That looks like the sketchiest way to go about that project. Clearly they know what they are doing!
As long as the bowl is planted you can take bites out of any slope
love the power of engine & machine especially whistle of turbocharger boost pressure. I work abundantly for CAT 3500 series diesel engines 😎
Oop
KIDCO and CAT 657E ❤😊
Great Drives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Not may left with the Balls and Logical ability
Or seat material stuck in your ass!!
Extaraordinary work heavy equipment 👍
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
this was bring your inner kid to work day, you could almost hear them go WHEEEEEE.
I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good sound. Thank you from Japan.
I'm almost 40 and can say this is AWESOME!!!!🤙
vraiment très impressionnant 😱Quelle maitrise pour les chauffeurs de ces monstres
amazing to see this. i wish here in germany would such big scrapers working.
My favourite machine 657s
I like very much that type of work by Scraper Operater . Actually that was Dozar work .
These things are so fun to watch!
Хорошо работают, дай бог каждому!!🙂
Но не дай бог тебе.
I remember working them for a little while back in the 80's in Guyana

Those scrapers got the job done!
I drove a 613 for a couple of years on rubbish dump/landfill work. The chance to so something like this breaks the boredom. Bet the drivers liked it.
Not a truck...drivers, so funny!
Super Video !!

Looked like fun! Been there done that! Keep those E series in good shape, because you don't want the G series!
My favorite video you have made yet!! this is sick!!
I find myself once a month watching it lol
The boys are having fun.
Amazing what those machines and some skilled operators can do!
I love watching these at 2x speed.
Those guys got some big onions......awesome vid!!!!!!!
Reminds me of some folks at a seafood buffet.
Poor drive couplings :P They sure work em HARD AF
Great video for educational purposes
Would rather see D11s do this because this is what are really good at.Pushing dirt while these 657 are built for hauling dirt
nothing better than a CAT, I know, I personally build quality engines in Seguin, Texas.
WOW 😮
class as always mate! keep feedin her the good stuff

Lol,this is so cool. It works like an ice breaker.
Шикарный способ развалить (сгладить) конус грунта, с последующим вывозом. Бульдозерами было-бы затратней!
Great video!
Grown men playing in the dirt. How fun

Man, that's been 40 years ago but it was the best job I ever had. Movin' dirt, it don't get no better than that!
Just like playing in the sand pit as a kid
@@mickboyce386 jmfw5i
best tractors ever made
Q belleza ver esa maquinaria...
cool, these things are beasts
Its almost as if their dozing that hill. Interesting technique.
cnote4461 they are absolutely dozing that hill. They appear to do more than just scrape.
Wow!
Bet that particular job has a very high "pucker factor"!
Damn Skippy it does. But I got mad at the owner of an excavation company I worked for in Fort Worth Texas and decided one day I was gonna flip one over. And you know what? I could not do it! Very tough and cat like (excuse the pun) machines, despite looking otherwise
What a weird and awesome machine

those diesels sound beautiful omg
Awesome dudes
NUTS! I'd have to clean my shorts, the seat and operator cab.

Saudades dessas Caterpillar
Wow I'm impressed at what scrappers can do.
There are three pedals. One for service brakes, one for rear engine and one for front engine.
Good idea for bank pushing. And you didn't need another guy or machine. Tactical maneuver success!
Não mim canso de esse vídeo ficou bom de mais e minha máquina preferida desde criança parabéns
PA carregadeira 😃
Interesting to watch.
Another cool video. That looked fun!!!
yes, they are hungry
A mais bela maquina que em minha infância eu ficava hipnotizado olhando... e sonhando.
I came here for the Cookie Monster title. Nom Nom me eats RUclips videos!
Excelentes operadores
They make it look easy
YESSIR!!
CAT SKINNERS GETTING IT DONE!!
You hear that turbo? Sheeit🦴🤘
Seabees favorite piece of equipment
Coragem Parabéns a vcs pela profissão ❤
Луноходы!!! Первый раз вижу.
Sadly it's raining in Auckland but after seeing that I want back on! Way to go guys!
Avec un Cat 3412 devant et un Cat 3408 derrière c’est le top.

@@dustywelchcraneman6614 don't be nice to dirt
@@dustywelchcraneman6614 learning has to be paid for
Such a pity, that these scrapers are so uncommon here in Germany. I love these beasts!
Such a great earth moving tool
That is correct.
That's what they're made for. Ride 'em, cowboys!!
Prone to tipping over. Not s good idea..
Вот.это.монстры!
