This video is about moving dirt the way it was meant to be done!! The 2 D10 operators are very good skinners, no wasted movements or wasted time. If the 660 engines are really Detroit Diesel I would be very surprised. Parts may be scarce for the original 660 engines but Cat has modern engines with same footprint.
They sure get a bit crossed up from time to time, gotta be quick on the wheel to straighten her out or those 2 D10,s will just jack knife you, good team here, circuit is well balanced with returning scrapers just coming back at the right time, windrow loading and tagging up on the move.
I'm curious why they would have been repowered with Detroit's? They don't sound like they are Detroit powered either. Didn't these originally have d353's for power
I mostly see IH/Case or John Deere 4 track tractors pulling a towed scraper bowl. I don't see any advantage of using antique equipment such as these....
The guys operating the push Cats, D10s, know what they are doing.
it looks like the 660's may have been repowered with DD series 60 motors.. not the old 2strokes.
Serious dirt moving,,,Nice cycling...
Really great video. Thanks so much for the upload.
Thanks, Rely Enjoyed
shame decent scraper jobs are so few and far between nowadays. nothing better than seeing scrapers do what they do best. go go cat iron.
Those poor pusher boys don't even get time to take a piss! cool stuff
They can get pissed off though
They know how to hook up

60 series Detriot teir3-4-and 1/4 of the cost of Cat teir engines! Seen many all over the southwestern US
Agreed
They work together neighbors in community's should do that we then could have a better country

This is good dirt you gotta be on your act in the mud
A very busy field indeed ,all clued up though,no time wasted.
Don't know how long D10,s will last top slot backwards.
Eating that muck .
The oldest guys on our jobs were running the Triple Sixes
How much track chains did you go through on that job?
if you look close you can see they are S60, detroits

Series 60 is very simple, very cheap, very reliable and very strong.
That's some old iron
Detroit two strokes my ar5e.
It,s simple, don,t like, don,t watch.
Another one that needs a safe space lol
Having to run a 660 sucks. But they do move a lot of dirt.
what's with the detroit's In the 660s are they 4 stroke or 2 stroke? I'm deaf
the way to move muck
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........very nice!
Puro sincronismo dos operadores.
i find it interesting how these scrapers have 6 wheels compared to many 4 wheeled ones. wonder if it makes much difference.
Adam's moderately good LEGO creations They ride like a Roll compared to a 4-wheel pan. Cat has floating goosenecks but a 6-wheel is still much better!
Money for nuthing ......that iron was paid for what 60 years ago ? And I thaught I ran some old A model scraper 627
The old 627 I operated would run the arse of the newer 627s she just had very long legs they couldn't come near her on a long haul rd.
I'm wonderin if there's Bud Hecker nuts on them front axles?
Ride along underneath it
Really cool vid, what year is this?
2013
better than your um stuff
Mounting the mufflers on the ROPS (rollover cage) is a foolish idea. Don't cut down on noise that much.
Detroits are 2 stroke which means the piston fires every 2 revolutions
These are not 2 stokes though, they are most likely 60 series.
true
PAoutdoors99 That's what I'm thinking. No 2-stroke scream. Most likely because of emissions.
How much oil?
How old are the 660Bs?
If I was doing this job as pushers I would find that a very boring job
I have not seen this done but I would not like that job.
that is not a Detroit cause the engine is a cat you can tell by the sound of the engine
+Robert Jackson 100% a detroit
I certainly could be a newer Detroit, not one of the old two strokes.
They are Detroit Series 60. All were repowered due to California Emissions. The Federal Government picked up a lot of the cost. Couldn’t turn it down.
660 are Cat and only Cat. No Detroit engines here . Again False bullshit.
