NICE!!!!!! Makes me miss my 627. Hung up my hard hat and safety vest up almost 7 years ago. I love running hoes + big dozers, but scrapers are my all time favorite. I've run many... green weenies,651, JD and 2 pans, D 8 pulling a pan, and my fave was 627... with the right partner you can really move a lot of dirt.

Beautiful footage

He isn't adjusting the apron you have to keep dirt moving to load it

Where r u from ?

That fella cost time and money by throwing dirt over the rails and back in the cut instead of getting the material to the fill area and high is the prime directive for buggy hands. Maybe he's rookie.

When self loading the moment the box is overflowing you should shut the apron, lift the box and head to the fill area. All that extra strain and heat on the engine/ torque converters plus tyre wear just messes up the machine far earlier.

This is one of my fav jokes being someone from near the area 😂😂😂

やっぱ、エプロンの操作が難しいんですよね

Need more of these Mark!!!!

I gotta give it to the operator on making sure he cut the full length but you lost half your load off the side. And the dump.... was way too fast. need to lower your bowl and spread it. This will eliminate the need for the dozer to come in behind you and spread it out.

Turn and burn baby!

Thats an extremely long haul.

😂😂😂😂😂Going to Paris, TN to visit soon…

i have no idea what i would use that for but i would be happy to own one.

That has to be tough up and down in the driver seat all day.

They need to fix scrapers, horrible to operate, and needs a push-pull or a dozer to load. This is 2022, get with it engineers!

Beautiful

You are wore out at the end of a ten hour day.

Thank you for posting this .. I was thinking about this all day lol

You can't just drive these old brutes, you gotta wrassel with 'em.

Drove across it this month first time seen it on youtube had to cross it awsome. Crossed it two times that day.

I'm not even from US but his American French accent always crack me up. 😂😂

Such a beautiful bridge. Nothing made today is this cool.

How dose an operator know exactly were to load and unload ?????

This is going on now. This big lake is flooded from all of this rain and snow from last winter. It's not safe to fish in like that. I hope it goes down for the vacationers.

a hidden gem...........diamond, emerald , ruby ........all rolled into one .....

Dams scare the shit out of me. I always see myself falling in and drowning at the wash part

Wow, this is an amazing video! I drove across this bridge one time, from Illinois to Kentucky about fifteen years ago, and I still remember it. I think it is the creepiest bridge I have ever encountered, straight out of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, and I have driven through forty nine states and ten Canadian provinces. It is amazing what you can film with modern technology. Thank you for sharing this beautiful view of the bridge.

Great Editing!

To small of scraper for this operation. A lot of money lost for the owner.

Yeah I agree with everyone. Held it for way too long and lost time in that cut.

I'm glad open cabs are banned on most sites these days haha

Been nervous about running a 627 for some reason , I currently run a 611 so I should be fine right?

As a geotechnical inspector of 27 years, where was the compactor in the fill section? Plus, the fill section was in rough shape.

I love this bit

Hahahaha ha had to screen record the bonjour part

Nao segurança nem uma pro operado facil de cai ser esmagado

Hi, we are interested in buying a Caterpillar 627B Double motor Scraper for import. That equipment we will been using it for sugar cane fields leveling. Due that we don't have any experience in that kind of equipment we would like to know if you may chare your experience. in here the motor scraper are cheaper that the pull scraper and a Tractor so we are thinking in to done the job with the motor scraper instead of a tractor what do you think about it???

How did you find the entrance to the sand cave? That was a struggle for me

ماشاء،الله سريع جدا

"Can I get me a Crah-sant?" 😂

"Well bonnnnnjorrrr" always makes me laugh

That shit gets old fast

地味な作業だけどね、意外と効率がいい。

Grease them plunger rollers brother!

**I'm no expert in earthmoving, but it just seems like a no-brainer that these scrapers SHOULD have engines powerful enough to aid them in accomplishing their own specific tasks, without needing an additional, expensive, heavy equipment vehicle, like a large bulldozer, to push them along as they do their own specific work! I would imagine that a bulldozer would be better utilized for doing other, 'bulldozer-ey' work, which DOESN'T include pushing or pulling unrelated equipment around a job site!** I work in residential landscaping, and I'm trying to think up something in my field that's analogous to scrapers requiring bulldozers to push them, but that analogy doesn't exist in real life. So I'll have to use imagination to invent an example. Imagine having weed-wackers that were routinely too weak to cut through common high grass and weeds. So you had to somehow connect your chainsaw to the weed-wacker to make the power to accomplish that common task! Sounds inefficient, wasteful of resources(tools) and just downright silly, right? Well, it's kinda the same basic theme with many of the greatly underpowered scrapers that require unrelated 'tools'(bulldozers) to do their jobs!

y'alls a good bunch of Fellers for uploading this here Pan video

Pretty cool. Good operator... But honestly to slow. It's gotta be 8th gear wide open at most places. Beats you up but that's the business. Hurry hurry

Great job on this video!
