Chicago Scraper Club | Witech Excavating

Our third installment of the "Black Ice" Series brought us out to I Don't Know Where, Indiana/Chicago, Illinois to visit with the fine folks of Witech Excavating on two separate projects.
1. The first site was a commercial project building out a pad for what will end up being some kind of distribution warehouse.
2. The second project was a MASSIVE landfill. (top-secret)

Could you cut a Chicago deep-dish pizza with a quad-track scraper?

[@spraguejosh35]

yes. i’m glad you asked

[@MPLSdunk]

💯

[@darthtrump4428]

yo bro, fix the audio levels thruout the video, its barely watchable having my hand on volume button all the time

[@gobigorange]

I can shave peach fuzz off a bare ass with a scraper

[@calebdale595]

Would be cool if you mentioned it's a modified versatile deltatrack originaly intended for farming.

[@yungfatazz]

Saw a guy explain this in a comment on the day 1 video lol

[@CartoonWeasel]

Meh,

[@Nickjustdabs]

I thought that’s all it was honestly never seen this before

[@wadeeubanks8435]

I run dual scraper pans in a train behind a CAT 965 C with wheels. We do agricultural landforming in the Mississippi delta. We have 6 dual scraper rigs that range from 40-46 yards capacity and two finishing tractors. Just got ourselves a D-6 too so I’m anxious to get some seat time in that.

[@jasonswisher2449]

We run two on these MTS in Antarctica at the US station. They groom the runway.

[@michaelbball2028]

9:30 best shot I've seen of a bucket being filled! 🎥 Awesome

[@UncleManuel]

"The visibility is amazing!" Yeah, amazing. You really could clearly see all that amazing FOG. 😂😁😇😜

[@barryguerrero6480]

Another nice feature of those quad track scrapers is that the cab isn't bouncing around all over the place. That means you don't have to find jockey operators who are willing to be jostled about all day long.

[@jasonparadis5453]

I actually live about 10 minutes away from the first job site in the video and Witech had a cat rock truck with a MTS goose neck scraper attached to it where the dump bed should be.

[@chroniccinema8959]

It would be awesome to see you come to Cleveland Ohio and see what we have going on locally!

[@AHomelessDorito]

Really cool video with the walk around of the equipment! You where definitely in Joliet for that landfill that river has too many landmarks 😂

[@5525Mike]

Yes. Agree on Versitile. Quad trac is for case IH. And four track is Deere.

[@parhamzane]

That gooseneck setup on the pan is called the switchback

[@hondabikez]

The landfill is off of 94! It’s crazy seeing what that site has grown to over the 30 years.

[@AaronWitt]

it's a big place

[@waldend248]

Thanks for the 150 shoutout! We are the best in the country!

[@scottmcquarrie7295]

, you 150 guys are great, but I believe us 825 guys are better!😅

[@alecbaltazar602]

This landfill is at the corner of W Laraway Rd and Centerpoint Way in Joliet. I recognize the power plant stacks in the background also the Union Pacific rail yard

[@billyhighfill]

Bro. The Cracker Barrel plug had me LAUGHING 😂😂😂

[@dukesdad1]

Love the Illinois connection!! My Baby and i grew up in the Land o Lincoln

[@coreyg1973]

The 1st site is in Merrillville Indiana in-between I-65 and Mississippi St. I drive by it everyday going to work at US Steel to operate a Cat 992G

[@johnelliott4320]

I’m a local 150 operating engineer, cool to see the local get a shout out

[@avenheavner108]

Great video I really enjoyed it and I learned something as always with your videos. Also when is the next watch me work video coming out? Are we ever going to see one of that 6015B loading truck In Canada?

[@adamhogeland8033]

Keep up the great content 👏

[@raganusmc]

Love your videos bro keep up the good work

[@50centgunit3]

you damn right Local 150 is the best

[@martymorse2]

Great stuff Aaron. Keep the high quality coming.

[@mikeyhemingway9120]

Have you ever heard of the Gemini solar project? It's one of the largest solar project in nevada I work out there with Soil Tech an environmentally friendly construction company we do a lot of unique work it's pretty cool.

[@bvkes9986]

oh man i cant wait for operation 'new car scent'

[@BillyBoy1980]

Local 150 🤜🏻🤛🏻

[@CartoonWeasel]

One day ill be able to get a quadtrac to use as a daily driver. Think your pick up with ugly as* wheels that extend further out then the compensation you're trying to achieve can mall crawl good, wait until i show up at the mall with my quadtrac.

[@tugboat2739]

Enjoyed the video

[@claterpillar1]

The green screen of the 850 pushing up a full blade of clay, amazing cgi. Lol.

[@travisstonehouse4932]

Nice machine 👍 Great video. ✌️

[@jimsvideos7201]

What's the chance putting a hydraulic motor on the axle on the pans would accomplish anything useful?

[@paulpence8895]

Its a Versatile modified for construction... Does it actually have a CAT engine??? Always thought Versatile should dump Cummins and put a C18 in the Delta Trac... EDIT: Yes, eat my words and wonder why this C18 Versatile is not offered to the ag community??? 630hp,,, lol, this thing could easily do 900... Same bs with CaseIH... FPT has a 16l that can do 8-900hp,,, their making 692 with a 12.9l,,,, wheres the new Quad Trac with that 16l???

[@roadrunner681]

well if you have 30 pounds of air in a tire sure, you have those air down correctly and a tire will drag a track machine

[@traxxasman417]

I'm guessing youre near Crown Point IN based on the cracker barrel sign.

[@jasonparadis5453]

I actually live near crown point IN.

[@traxxasman417]

@@jasonparadis5453 I'm originally from Noblesville so not too far from my hometown.

[@ClaytonHartin]

It’s per square inch for ground pressure 😁

[@RobertLidstroem]

Watch out so you dont get dirt under your nails, Aaron! 🤣🤣🤣

[@AaronWitt]

it would be a damn shame

[@JFBence]

Basically these are modified Versatile tractors, right?

[@londog53511]

Yes. Versatile builds the chassis and MTS modifies them.

[@schoolbus66]

the MTS tractor looks an awful lot like a Versatile Delta Trac tractor any relation between the companies?

[@gregjames5070]

The cab and the hood is the only similarities

[@tolandmike]

Cillian Murphy doppelganger

[@Treehandler]

Imagine driving a bad ass piece of equipment all day but you could only drive in circles

[@Tman0517]

Thats the dream though man, i wouldnt wanna drive this scrapper down I75.

[@joshmcaloon6998]

Is the landfill Joliet?

[@kelbycoon3281]

Why don’t they run modified ag quad tracks?

[@teamwoodswarriorsracing2004]

Essentially mts tractors are versatiles with yellow paint and cat power plants

[@chevyon37s]

Ford Expedition… the WORST vehicle anyone in my family has ever owned. My mom had it… we all hated it. Handled/ drove awful. Interior literally crumbled apart, HVAC and radio had constant electrical issues, “leather” seats cracked and tore like corn chips, mirrors had the glass fall out, dash cracked, rear link arms rusted out, heater core failed, constantly changed coil packs on it, cam phasers finally put it and us out of its misery.

[@1farmer608]

The drone shot looking down into the bowl of the scraper was amazing. You should do that a little more. Unique shots are the best.

[@CartoonWeasel]

Bet you're #4 farmer and not #1.

[@tigerbatman7881]

top notch dude

[@nitemare18]

It's called a switchback

[@connellyslandmanagement725]

If the ground stinks. I bet $100 either there is or was something in the ground. Or at one point there was some kind of animal run in it

[@CartoonWeasel]

Your cam boy looks like Jobes from donut (yt car channel. Donut media, not donut operator, equally shpack)

[@rusty2811]

If you were using K-tec scrapers you wouldn't have to push load them

[@gregjames5070]

Funny…we push load our k techs every day

[@preacherman-qm5pv]

It’s not dirt it’s soil trust me after you write it even you learn lol my ag teacher

[@Darkrif1957]

more action less yap yap

[@davidanalyst671]

i watched less than 60 seconds of this video. Aaron would rather stand in front of the camera and ramble about things he doesn't even know about instead of just showing some cool equipment working

[@AaronWitt]

glad you liked the first few seconds David!
