Good job Nathan I am now the student you are the teacher. We can only go ahead with technology not back. Reminds me of a conversation about 3406 engine “young padawan”
Thanks for showing us that, (this is the missus yt account) iv been a plant operator for 26 years, and done my time on everything including 5 years on a 637 E in a gravel quarry. Now im just on a 30 ton excavator doing odd jobs. I refused to use the GPS computer crap, im old school all done by eye and feel. Done 4 years on a 980G sales loader loading crushed rock on to road tippers. What your 627k has is all to do with reducing operator fatigue, because doing 120 loads a day of the same cut depths and fill levels increases operator fatigue and boredom, reducing productivity. Also keeps the cut & fill areas more level, because those scrappers are so uncomfortable. I still reckon articulated 6 wheel dumpers are worse. Anyway take care from Australia.👍
Thanks for the comment! The other thing that these kinds of features do is help new inexperienced operators be more productive faster. The younger generations like this kind of stuff, it’s how we get them interested in the industry.
Thanks brother that made me feel really old my three daughters all operated heavy equipment they would laugh tell me boy couldn't operate dozer because gps went out they couldn't grade with out it this would be nice but more stuff to go wrong
Thanks for watching - it’s these ease of use tools that will foster in the next era of operators though, as much as us old school guys like the fact that we did it without, the new kids like this kind of stuff and it draws them into the industry.
Nice video Nathan. When i was running 627s they were B models with no electronics or cabs. The ones I ran were Push-pulls. They have come a long way since then. I also have had time on 621Bs and TS 14 Euclids
That’s awesome good for you but this video has absolutely nothing to do with load assist, that’s a different feature. This video is about sequence assist.
I wouldn't recommend scrappers or 6 wheel articulated dumpers, too rough on the body and boring. I'd recommend still doing smaller civil jobs to watch and learn smaller machines, then step up to a quarry operating dump trucks.
First think look up whatever regulations there might be in your region as far as licenses or certifications go, make sure you get them first. Then the Biggest piece of advice I’ll give you is don’t expect to get put in the high caliber grade wages right off the bat, moving the equipment on and off a trailer is very different then actually using it. You have to be willing to start out on some of the more grunt work machines like compactors for example. Just start sending resumes man! Every contractor is looking for operators.
Well Cats have had cushion hitches since the late 70’a early 80’s so it’s nothing new for Cat - but there is a hydraulic cylinder between the tractor and the scraper that had a nitrogen charged accumulator in the circuit, it lets the scraper and the tractor go over bumps independently making for a smoother ride between the two and the a smoother ride for the operator.
@@ironman3406 it would be sweet to see a “how to” for operating one, but that would be a lot of work. Even just a walk around and discussion would be cool.
@@ironman3406 friend, thank you for answering me, I live in Houston, TX, I am from Venezuela, I have more than 8 years of experience as a heavy machinery operator, but my greatest performance is operating m Scrapers, and in my country they call it tornapul, or mototradilla, I want to take advantage of the opportunity to ask how I can connect with you for a job offer
@@OscarMartinez-fg8re ahhh i used to work with a fella that calls them a tourapull. That’s what RG LeTourneau called his scrapers when he built them. Guess the name stuck for some folks. I’m not really seeking employment at the this time, I’ve got a great position here at the Cat dealer as an operator trainer. Thanks anyways I really appreciate the thought.
K model is terrible. Look at there resale value. No one wants them. K was made for the new generation of operators. The gamers…, guess what they didn’t show up for the job. K model sucks…
Thanks for watching. I’m sorry that you are such a negative person, this video has nothing to do with the K model being good or bad. It is a tutorial video for a feature in the machine. Go be negative on a different channel please.
I’m not a negative person. I did not attack your character, please don’t attack mine just because I’ve exorcised my freedom of speech! Just because you didn’t agree with my comment…

I remember that conversation dad, and you’ll always have something to teach me!

@@ironman3406 keeps them interested from day one. If it's too hard or Labor intensive they're not gunna stick with it, right.
Longer wheelbase & being able to grade your own haul road
Nice job with the tutorial Nathan! 🙂👍 Glad to see an upload and that you're doing fine. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧
Hey there man!! Hope your doing good haven’t seen a video from you in a bit, assuming works just keeping you busy? Thanks for watching pal

Thanks for watching Chuck - one of my favourite series is still the B’s
Thank you, sir
Back in the day we didn’t have all that fancy computer control
Hi there thanks for watching - yes technology keeps evolving
Yea and there wasn’t indoor plumbing and you had to walk to school as well
@@jackkuehne663uphill, both ways 😆😆😆
I have run scapers my whole life don't need load assist.
That’s awesome good for you but this video has absolutely nothing to do with load assist, that’s a different feature. This video is about sequence assist.
@@ironman3406i think what he is saying he doesnt that electronic shit
@gq-cw6xi you are absolutely right you have to be a Philadelphia lawyer now to run a scraper.
How do you recommend getting into something like this as a newbie? Ive been a transport driver for years, would really like to get into operating.

@@ironman3406 thank you for the advice!
Hey Nathan!
Hey there Matt!!! How are you sir
@@ironman3406 doing great!
What's the idea of the cushion hitch on these new scrapers compared to the old?
Well Cats have had cushion hitches since the late 70’a early 80’s so it’s nothing new for Cat - but there is a hydraulic cylinder between the tractor and the scraper that had a nitrogen charged accumulator in the circuit, it lets the scraper and the tractor go over bumps independently making for a smoother ride between the two and the a smoother ride for the operator.
Can you give a tutorial on a TS-14? You’ll have to do a voiceover in editing of course, since we’d never hear you talk.
Anything specific you want covered?
@@ironman3406 it would be sweet to see a “how to” for operating one, but that would be a lot of work. Even just a walk around and discussion would be cool.
U put ur cushion hitch down in the fill?doesn't it get rough
Sometimes, not always depends on conditions and material.
😊👍👍🌄
Thanks for watching Evan
cordial greetings friend, where is the place3, how can I contact you, I am an operator
Hi there - what can I help you with or what information are you after? My emails is in the bio for the channel.
