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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
While impressive as it may be that pans did make short work of this pile, the operators here deserve 90% of the credit. Most "civilians" would have had to bail with the first view from the cab as you approached the end of the pile. It looks as if you are going over a cliff with nothing in front of you.
So I should pay $8000 to move one plus have a mechanic pull the blade and ROPS off then install back on just for 5-6 pushes when I could just have the 657s fix it themselves?

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.
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.
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!
From a financial stand point, why not keep the cans full toward the bottom of the hill and move it to the fill area instead of dropping it and heading back to the top? Perhaps it's not as big of a deal on such a large operation but moving material twice can knock my profits way down on my two man show.
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.
Scraper do everything, what if u don't have a D8 or D9 , " you sit and wait ? " this maneuver these 57 doing rite now , are normal. that is what they are designed to do, They are call ( Caterpillar ) Motor Scraper,,
Disclaimer...I don’t know shit about what I just saw... What is the advantage of that machine over a bull dozer? And what type of hp/torque are we talking? And lastly does the front and rear drive the front and rear wheels independent? obviously no driveshaft.
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.
Love watching these giant machines "eat" hills! CAT scrapers are the best in the business and beautifully-built. 👍👍
These always reminded me of a mechanical land dragon the way they articulate. Coming over the hill wiggling for traction the image is solidified.

You making a lake
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

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
I love these and especially those menacing Ol green terex bone shakers!
Would rather see D11s do this because this is what are really good at.Pushing dirt while these 657 are built for hauling dirt
I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good sound. Thank you from Japan.
Extaraordinary work heavy equipment 👍
this was bring your inner kid to work day, you could almost hear them go WHEEEEEE.

Yeah but on the other hand crashing straight walls is fun.
Хорошо работают, дай бог каждому!!🙂
Но не дай бог тебе.
I'm almost 40 and can say this is AWESOME!!!!🤙
Grown men playing in the dirt. How fun
Это же как надо идеально чувствовать габариты такой махины. Просто восторг
Those scrapers got the job done!
That's what they're made for. Ride 'em, cowboys!!
Prone to tipping over. Not s good idea..
Super. 💙 T.E.N.
Good idea for bank pushing. And you didn't need another guy or machine. Tactical maneuver success!
Cool shit but 1 dozer could have accomplished the same thing
What's the fun in that?
There are three pedals. One for service brakes, one for rear engine and one for front engine.
The boys are having fun.
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
waiting for the chosen one to go over the top...would love the operators viewpoint..balls of steel..
Super Video !!
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 things are so fun to watch!
That's not the role of a scraper,it's meant to pick up the dirt and carry it away,not act like a dozer.
But it's doing a good job anyhow
love the power of engine & machine especially whistle of turbocharger boost pressure. I work abundantly for CAT 3500 series diesel engines 😎
Oop

I spent so much time as a kid watching this kind of stuff. Awesome flashback!
Such a pity, that these scrapers are so uncommon here in Germany. I love these beasts!
Such a great earth moving tool
nothing better than a CAT, I know, I personally build quality engines in Seguin, Texas.
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.
best tractors ever made
WOW 😮

Looked like fun! Been there done that! Keep those E series in good shape, because you don't want the G series!
So are the using scrapers to basically "bulldoze" a hill? First time I've seen that. Pretty cool.
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.

Interesting to watch.
I operate a Volvo gooseneck k-tec scraper but yours looks so much more powerful ! Love it totally badass

Well i guess they didn't want a bully after all.
That is correct.

@@mickboyce386 jmfw5i
Maybe because a scraper can do it and you don,t need a dozer to do it
Thats not a mountain its a pile of dirt...
thats an amazing amount of earth moved.
thats why they make dozers
Union labors have to hate this machine.It can replace 1,000 men with shovels or a 1,000,000 with tea spoons if it a government job
i 2nd that one another great vid
Cat 657 dozer..
So that’s what they do, never understood before watching this video.
Now? do I put my seatbelt on or?
This clip is appearing on facebook posted by Magical Nature with credit to them
It's been reported! Thank you.
Шикарный способ развалить (сгладить) конус грунта, с последующим вывозом. Бульдозерами было-бы затратней!
I like very much that type of work by Scraper Operater . Actually that was Dozar work .

This made me think of Transformers.
Looks like so much fun. I operate a 621k and it a blast.

My favorite video you have made yet!! this is sick!!
I find myself once a month watching it lol
❤❤❤ é lindo demais!!!
vantagetes is 100% right awesomes videos i'd work for a company like this they know what there doing.
Great video! Who needs dozers
Dark An一
looks even crazier from this POV. lol they make driving a scraper look so friggin fun.
Awesome video! That is one machine I really would love to learn to operate. Then again, like watching it more.
MEGA!!😎
What is the maximum angle that scrapers can work at? Also, to the drivers of the scrapers....DRIVE THEM LIKE YOU STOLE THEM!
Damn those machine sure can move alot of dirt.

typical goddamers! twisting about nowt. 3 geordies wi hand shovels wud knock it doon between teabreaks!!

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.
I remember working them for a little while back in the 80's in Guyana
Right piece of equipment for that job would be a dozer, not a scraper.
1milazzo yes sir dozer would got that done faster
1milazzo what do you know?
Depends where your moving the dirt
Lol. If you dont HAVE to move a dozer to a job. Then why would you?
@@joshlane37 dozer knocks it down but it wont move it

What are they used for
class as always mate! keep feedin her the good stuff
amazing to see this. i wish here in germany would such big scrapers working.
Good
wouldn't a bulldozer be more efficient for this kind of job?
Ce travail est une véritable œuvre d'art. Bravo !
