I was brought up on heavy machinery by my dad. I was lucky I guess. My job for the summer and holidays were changing the oil fueling greasing them. Enjoy it now. Thank you for sharing your video with us.

I've worked in the lowcountry of south Carolina most of my career. Hard to believe the ground would hold those heavy bastards up!!!! Awesome video

[@num472productions]

Awesome work y’all. Scrapers have been my passion for years now, so glad to see a video that truly does their beauty justice, I’ll be this all day!

[@jbpoo1853]

Meh. This scraper ain’t even that great. I’ve had scrapers half that size do a plenty good job. You should reconsider the facts.

[@num472productions]

@@jbpoo1853Plenty good ain’t good enough, only the best is, and that’s what the 657 scraper is. Bet you’ve never driven a scraper in your life

[@Sojourning_]

Who did you run triple 6's for. ? I no Rasmussen had a bunch of them when I started with them in the late 80's. My dad David worked for Rasmussen 30 years. I know McCoy had a shit ton of them to. Damm good times. ✌️

[@travisstonehouse4932]

California scrapers nice. Hammering down on the east coast. 👍💪

[@charlesbreitenbach508]

And 2 good operators that work good together.

[@yippikiyay197]

Nice to hear some explanation of what they were doing!

[@lesflynn4455]

I love watching these machines work. There are two 627's on the site I work at (never seen a 657 in the metal, only in pics and vids, they're huge I know) and they can move so much dirt so quickly. They only stop for smoko and lunch. The rest of the time they are cutting and filling, back and forth.

[@chrisstaylor8377]

Dozer and scoop go well there

[@daleclark9121]

There is the triple 6 cat twin engine with a 4 wheel tractor for mass hauls they run 55 to 60mph for freeway and interstate jobs

[@haroldrenfro730]

Welcome to South Carolina.

[@matthewdaniels7462]

South crack wooooooo!!!!! Wish I was a part of this job!!!

[@1herbert100]

What are they doing? Are they building an island or destroying one? I get they are digging offshore, but what are the other machines doing?

[@CrazyTurbo-cx8ye]

Yall needa come to Atlanta GA we got some pretty big outfits here💪

[@TheCelltek]

Nice quality video.

[@carl4043]

It would be great if you said what they were doing

[@mambo3509]

Wow those are the only 57’s I know of on the east coast we run 27’s in Richmond va we have videos of them check them out alpine construction

[@PLATKT06]

Nice

[@SLCFarms]

Is this a lime mine? Really cool operation

[@justinworkman9980]

Come to south Florida west palm beach H@J contracting

[@timothygrell4398]

Again Arron do your math and do not believe owners. There is no way they are moving 10,000cy a day with only the 2-657. That would equal 140 to 160 loads each. This depends on how much they were loading the can and from the video it looks like 32cy or less. That material is a sponge and will slow down cycle times even more.

[@rossgray3070]

Yeah but they have 4 x 657s not 2.

[@timothygrell4398]

@@rossgray3070 normal 8hr day is roughly 80-100 loads and usually lucky to get 2000cy per machine in that material!

Like cutting cheese.
