- Hangin out at the haul road of the local coal mine. Caught a drive by of a couple 777's and a Cat 24M Grader. This is yet again another Diggin Ditchin N Bitchin production, and yes this is the DD&B unit 1.
You tilt the wheels in a grader the same direction that you're rilling the material, to counter the side-draft effect, and also helps with turning and the same goes for articulating.
I am that guy on the 24m,did you notice how I straight bladed the RRD40 intersection with respect to public traffic,so both ways of traffic can keep on going,yes upon articulation with our winter edges it's tough picking up the blade without dragging, but the coal haulers will flatten it one pass.So it is a thankless job in some ways,but as long as everyone keeps moving.cant please everyone.greatest job in the world.i love it,and that was a BAD day weather wise.thanks for your comments.
It is a thankless job on the graders.. One of the most important pieces of support equipment.. They needed twice the fleet they have.
Great vid and machines!! The weather give a nice sinister feel. Love those CAT 777's haul trucks!! There a nice change from the dump body trucks. The grader operator was showing off at 1:28, nice!
Wow that's a massive piece of kit!
Great video.Like the grader at 1:28 to
Damn thats a big grader.Thats sure some big gear there.Nice one.
@alco424 Ah but how do you know they are not 777s that have been converted??? But you're right it's the excat same truck just without a box. Adding a hitch makes it a 776, I'll edit the title.
@theoman69 Yes, graders are articulated. The M series have a button, on the joystick, which you can press to auto-center the articulation.. It looks like he was coming out of the turn and went to straighten out, turning the tires and pressing the button -- but the 'press on the button' didnt take and didnt center.. so he had to correct himself. Happens to me quite often for some reason...
Impressively! It is possible to take an interest concerning a grader: what its capacity, weight, and whether are front axle wheels - traction? The episode at 1:28, to me too has seemed to the amusing :)
that is a big ass grader and dump trucks
@theoman69 I think it is at the Whitewood mine at Wabamun..
@nl1cat Whitewood mine is closed, this is Highvale mine.
i want to run a 24m that would be a great grader to run i have only ran a 14OH that 24m is a nice machine
What is the reason to tilt the front wheels sideways ?
haha i pressure check and test this machine. awesome machine to drive
poor bugger just trying to grade that section. + being in a 24Mski crap weather/no dry/ crap truxies that belt out top gear and got NO IDEA yep...feel your pain.
@89489498498498 They actually are 776 tractors. He's just confusing them with the 777 since it's basically the same, just not in a tractor configuration.
quil question: Why come graders tilt the wheels?
This is a Sir Operator not just an Operator
@theoman69 A little of column A) and a little of column B)
this not 776? :)
what engine is in that thing?
A C18 if I recall correctly. It has been a few years since I pulled wrenches on it..
Looks like a Whelen Liberty
Yes it was a Whelen light bar.. I don't recall the exact model.. I don't remember if this unit was but some were special ordered because the graders were 24VDC. A first for Whelen they said.

@3Mudbone1 You could at least come up with origional comments rather then copypasta.
