One Of A Kind D8 Dozer Pushing Earth Scrapers

[@KentReisdorph]

Reminds me of my youth. I worked for my dad driving scrapers, road graders, loaders, etc. We didn't have a dozer, so we pushed the scrapers with an old 1946 road grader in reverse. That old grader could really push a scraper.

How come that Cat compactor is yellow😊

Haha, it seems out of place being yellow.

Beautiful set of machines that! Jealous that you guys have scrapers, there's not a single one in all of Luxembourg :(

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

Not a single scraper in all of Luxembourg? Why is that? Is it because of the terrain?

[@ConstructionChannelLuxembourg]

@@ConstructionMachineryChannel It's mostly because everything is at a smaller scale in Europe, and scrapers in particular would only get used for major road or railway construction. And even there, we mostly just use dozers or excavators and dumpers for cut & fill jobs. There is also a lot of rock over here.

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

That makes sense, no need for scrapers if dozers can get the job done.

@@ConstructionMachineryChannel Yeah, but we are clearly missing out!
