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.
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.
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!
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😮!!
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.
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
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
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.
i drove these 657, 637,627,651,631,terex ts14 and,ts24,they are great things to drive and can be good fun and dangerous to but what the hell magic days and worked with some of the best drivers to
Ive operated heavy equipment for half a century! YOU DON'T DRIVE THEM YOU OPERATE A PIECE OF EQUIPMENT! EVEN A MONKEY CAN DRIVE THEM! IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH THE MATERIALS THAT COUNT! WHAT A JOKE, DRIVING!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ahh, makes sense. Those operators seem to know what they are doing. I only have about 100 hrs in a scraper and my plums aren't nearly big enough to drop one over the side of a hill like that.
@@anthonythorp7291 Any job is boring if you think its boring..! as young growing up in a fishing village only seeing mointains of fish that had to be cleaned-fileted-salted-salted again-packed on pallets and so on.. after 10 + years i had gladly payd for any job that didnt involve FISH. hehe i managed to make the fish factory job livable by setting personal goals, say at least 1 ton fish an hour even if the fish was small, and so on... but yes it felt like heaven when after some years i got hired by an inland farmer to remove trestumps from new fields with a 48 ton wheel loader. AT LEAST THE FIRST SUMMER I SPENDT 12 HOURS A DAY IN THAT MASKINE.. IT WAS FUN AND YOU FELT POWERFUL AND THE AIRDAMPED SEAT AND AIRCONDITION MADE ME EVEN EAT THE LUNSJ IN THE MASKINE. HEHE
@@samkom33 understood but as you say after 10 yrs, 30 for me, job gets old. Screwing around and little entertaining games are not welcome in my industry. At least with heavy equipment your view changes. I could never work in a factory my whole life but to each their own. Many have told me there's no way they'd do what I do.
@@anthonythorp7291 YES any job gets old, but my filosofy is that you have to accept the job, ore else you get bored. i agree you cant screw around and put you ore others in danger. but i have seen way to often in my 57 years what happends when bored people look more on the clock than whats happening around them. its dangerous not say paying attention if you run say a big excavator ore a building crane and say put the bucket-3 ton lumber load on top of a college worker, and so on
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.
Don't know what they are messing about at!!! it's just a little mound, I used to drive them things, been over much steeper fully loaded and 60ft to the bottom, you get used to it, exciting at the time, spare undies ready lol
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 !
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.
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 spent so much time as a kid watching this kind of stuff. Awesome flashback!
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
I operate a Volvo gooseneck k-tec scraper but yours looks so much more powerful ! Love it totally badass
love the power of engine & machine especially whistle of turbocharger boost pressure. I work abundantly for CAT 3500 series diesel engines 😎
Oop
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

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
looks even crazier from this POV. lol they make driving a scraper look so friggin fun.
Looks like so much fun. I operate a 621k and it a blast.
I love these and especially those menacing Ol green terex bone shakers!
nothing better than a CAT, I know, I personally build quality engines in Seguin, Texas.
Would rather see D11s do this because this is what are really good at.Pushing dirt while these 657 are built for hauling dirt

Yeah but on the other hand crashing straight walls is fun.
Awesome video! That is one machine I really would love to learn to operate. Then again, like watching it more.
I like very much that type of work by Scraper Operater . Actually that was Dozar work .
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!
Just like playing in the sand pit as a kid
@@mickboyce386 jmfw5i
vraiment très impressionnant 😱Quelle maitrise pour les chauffeurs de ces monstres
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!
I remember working them for a little while back in the 80's in Guyana
amazing to see this. i wish here in germany would such big scrapers working.
Awesome vid👌!

I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good sound. Thank you from Japan.
I came here for the Cookie Monster title. Nom Nom me eats RUclips videos!
I love watching these at 2x speed.

Looked like fun! Been there done that! Keep those E series in good shape, because you don't want the G series!
Reminds me of some folks at a seafood buffet.

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.
There are three pedals. One for service brakes, one for rear engine and one for front engine.
My favorite video you have made yet!! this is sick!!
I find myself once a month watching it lol
I'm almost 40 and can say this is AWESOME!!!!🤙
Grown men playing in the dirt. How fun
These operators are at another level!
Dont be be soft 😂
😂😂😂😂😂dont think so not rocket 😂
this was bring your inner kid to work day, you could almost hear them go WHEEEEEE.
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

Poor drive couplings :P They sure work em HARD AF
Damn those machine sure can move alot of dirt.

Those scrapers got the job done!
Great Drives !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- Not may left with the Balls and Logical ability
Or seat material stuck in your ass!!
That's what there built for. Operate them like theres no tomorrow.
CORRECT! Your operating equipment not driving a truck!
Stupid NEWBIES!

That's what they're made for. Ride 'em, cowboys!!
Prone to tipping over. Not s good idea..
Lol,this is so cool. It works like an ice breaker.
cool, these things are beasts
Maybe because a scraper can do it and you don,t need a dozer to do it

Such a pity, that these scrapers are so uncommon here in Germany. I love these beasts!
Such a great earth moving tool

Ahh, makes sense. Those operators seem to know what they are doing. I only have about 100 hrs in a scraper and my plums aren't nearly big enough to drop one over the side of a hill like that.
Those sort of trips are the most fun, particularly with a 657.
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
Super Video !!
Nice to get paid for having fun
Thanks
I've run them, nothing fun about it for me.

Great video for educational purposes
class as always mate! keep feedin her the good stuff

isn't just beautiful tho. those boys know their machine.
What a weird and awesome machine
The boys are having fun.
Well i guess they didn't want a bully after all.
I'd be getting a dozer up there to level it out
Хорошо работают, дай бог каждому!!🙂
Но не дай бог тебе.
What is the maximum angle that scrapers can work at? Also, to the drivers of the scrapers....DRIVE THEM LIKE YOU STOLE THEM!
Cool video don't see scrapers in the uk
I love this angle even more....scrapers are so much fun.
the word: Eat Dirt, it's like a compliment to these machines
