A Girl Driving a CAT 627 Scraper?? Awesome!

A CAT 627G scraper working with a girl behind the controls.

[@wz7285]

My girl Cousin, my Aunt, and my sister all ran scrapers for our company, Cat621s and Cat 633 C and D.🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ like a car, take a few laps, then be attentive to what works and what doesn't!

[@mansurazeez2229]

A heavy duty gal! A scraper is a huge machine with wheels over 6 feet tall! It takes hard work and perseverance to operate one and not all womenfolk love heavy machinery! Salute to this lady! 👍

[@rogerduvall502]

I worked with a chick once back in 89-90. She could operate anything. Dozer, loader, trackhoe, backhoe, pans, etc etc etc. She was good too.

A recent trend up in north California ag country where I operate is having women operate heavy ag equipment. They tend to have less ego and this translates into less wear and tear on equipment.

[@michelleskelton9579]

One of my absolute favorites to operate!! Good job!!

[@TomTom-ih5mg]

First of all she's doing a good job running that scraper. I started out on a ts24 Hannah run everything from a 613 to 6:41 caterpillar when I started they didn't have the cushion Goose necks like they do nowadays but I have run them with cushion they are nice. I always carry my below for two reasons first a lot of the old scrapers didn't have brakes and he had to drag the bowl to stop so you wanted to close to the ground, second they all work better with the bow down and use the Hydraulics is a little bit of cushion and when I run one with a cushion I always have kept the phone down for for just safety reasons and they do write a little bit better and you keep your center of gravity low and you don't turn over quite as quick just an old scraper hands thoughts thanks for listening

[@mhoff5777]

I operated scraper with a few women. Women are darn good scraper operators.

[@johnrebel9539]

Where I worked we had 27's and still push-loaded them with a D8 for efficiency. I liked the 627 but they didn't have ac. The 621's did but they suck on a greasy topsoil pile of soft fill pad.

Nice job on the 627! She runs better than a lot of guys I've seen operate them. That jobsite needs good haul roads for faster production, though. I'm not seeing that here.

Not really that rare of an occurrence. There was a young woman driving a 627G on the site I work in SE Australia a couple of months ago. She's one of the earth moving company's top scraper operators. Not all of them get in the '27s. Most of them are restricted to the '21s. But the woman in your video looks much finer in a pair of jeans than the one I'm talking about :)

[@shannonmarie294]

Restricted to the 21's??! Dam, I was running 633's a few years ago, but that's here in the U.S.

I can't believe some of these comments! Women are generally capable of doing pretty much anything a man can !! And , as much as the footage of the scraper is good, it focuses on to the woman driving more thsn the machine itself, like its astonishing !! Jesus! And I'm a red blooded bloke typing this!

[@tomasneel1980]

Also, I make my operators drop that center cutting edge, helps load much easier and loading solo is much faster..

The wheel spinning n bowl height , apart from that ,good job, cool scraper, looks like it’s been around few battle scars, will see a few more no doubt

[@maus909]

I have been a scraper operator for almost 10 years. 621, 627, 631, 637, 651, 657, E-F-G and today was in a 627F Auger. There's many women who operate heavy equipment and some of the best operators that I've had pleasure of working with have been female. This shouldn't be shocking information. Women do the same work that any man does. It's just the "traditional" gender roles that the worlds population needs to stop assuming for everyone.

[@cbboggs6459]

Great operator. Women make some of the best operators.

[@genelund1705]

Women are in scrapers strictly because of minority laws. This lady would be gone in ten minutes on any dirt hogging job because she would be in the way all day. Any scraper hand running on sight with the bowl hummed all the way up is a rookie and you tell by which head most of the commenter are thinking. Eye for dirt is the reason she's in the scraper instead of dozer . Blade or finish scraper. Go watch a actual scraper video on here and you'll see what moving dirt actually all about.

[@ExhibitTruth]

20+ years operating equipment. What's the first thing you do when you jump in the scraper seat? Buckle up. 30% more productive, way safer. I don't want anyone getting hurt on my spread.

[@derekhaddlesey4683]

That's what turns an operator into a finisher that and in the fill if you can jump off the edge and it's the right material not wet so your sliding but carve that whole slope and make it a 4/1 and look like a dozer did it then your on your way to maybe never leaving the seat always need at least one at least if not two or three even more experienced ppl and it makes life for everyone so much nicer

[@2009deerejohn]

Worked with a bunch of woman in excavation and I’d take most anyone of them over half the dudes I worked with, in my experience a lot of guys ego gets in the way of getting shit done and the girls would be working their ass off while the guys talked about hard work, lol

[@michaelburt1370]

If you can drive a car you can drive a scraper. It’s whether or not you know how to operate one that is key.

I liked this video. The girl is in control of that machine. What is her name and does she work in Maryland? I admire her!

[@donbertelsmannjr8193]

i never really got the push pull thing. you see the tires spinning under full load, and it gives me the heebs. we used to run 2 or 3 - 627's depending on the haul length paired with an older D7. the scrapers would boil dirt out with no strain. and the old D7 didn't care. with a big old sheepsfoot on the other end, we'd get compaction plus in almost any weather. just my two cents...

[@ttguru2023]

would love to see some in cab videos from her too!

[@kalerainbolt877]

That's awesome we would have loved to have a female working with us when we were running scrapers seems to be more cautious

Lots of women operate equipment. No problem. No seatbelt = problem. Nothing to do with the operators gender, obviously knows the ropes. She looks pretty young. Maybe someone should tell her how dangerous that is.

[@dplant8961]

Hi, Folks. While I applaud women getting into operating, I'm gonna take a different tack here and ask a 'kwestyun': "If she has two hands, two feet, two eyes and a brain, just 'wottinell' is so danged remarkable about a woman operating a machine?" That's the same basic equipment that most men operate with. It'za matter of personal choice. If she wants to do it and can hold her end up, I say, "GO for it." I will say one thing about her though. She gets up in that cab and takes off like she 'owns' it. Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
