Double or nothing. 2x 651B spreads working side by side with 2x D10N's pushing and 2x D11's ripping

Sukut Construction wasting no time moving this hard and nasty sand stone for a new high class residential community. 2 651B spreads working side by side with 2 D10N pushcats behind each scraper with a D11N and D11T on support ripping the material to load.

[@phillipmoore6295]

That's terrific. One time my buddy was the push bull (pushing scrapers) on a D9 and I was the cover bull (maintains stockpile) in a D9 also. We decided to get together and double push his scrapers. Wow, never saw bowls fill up so fast. The scraper operators were happy too. They got done early. Good job.

Reminds me back in 69 pushing Euclid TS14's with a D9G when I was 16(occasionally allowed when my father was servicing; my reward for helping out).

But its being done right! large rip tractors conditioning and prepping the material with MS rippers and 2 shanks, not burying the ripper to full depth and pulling up big floaters that will get hung up in the loading process, material is then easy to handle at the other end too.

[@Gavin84w]

From the comments here it is clear the use of scrapers is misunderstood and like in most parts of the world people resort to the "easy way out" and think as soon as it gets a little tough bring in the trucks and excavators, scrapers have a massive apettite to move earth and if you can pick it up with a scraper it is scraper dirt, even with some rock in it, sure there is a limit but they dont have to be handled with kid gloves either and they are no where near the limit in this video. Contractors underestimate the capabilities of scrapers and look for negatives in them more so than the advantages and what there capabilities are, unless its a pure rock job there isnt very much you cant do with a scraper today in a more econimical manner than any other form of earthmoving equipment.

[@UrsulavonB]

51s, twin c-dozer push is the cheapest way to move the material. 9 of your' favorite scrapes 660s went bye, bye at RB auctions one week ago, $15 to $23thou

[@Gavin84w]

The boys kept me informed Stan, any idea who got them??

[@UrsulavonB]

I don't know who purchased them. Teir2 powered so large-medium fleet Calif contractors can't add to their fleet after Jan 2017. Small fleet can add Teir2 until Jan 2023 in Calif. Steve Varner purchased the D9L Teir1 dozer for $55thou, he's got a couple of larger jobs coming up. Take Gav!

[@Gavin84w]

So does that mean due to ACI,s size they may have been forced to offload them??

[@UrsulavonB]

Yep, they have to add Tier4 (new equipment) or offload Tier2 or 3 to balance their fleet averages' pollution. Tier3s can stay in fleets indefinitely along with Tier4s. No one likes the regulations, but it's necessary. Diesels get a bad rap; gasoline powered vehicles produce very tiny particles that have adverse health affects via passing into the blood stream via the lungs. When you visited Mitzel's scrapers in Temescal Canyon the typical drive time to Corona was approx 18 minutes, now that drive can exceed 40 minutes depending on the time of day. Corona north to the 60fwy 7:00-8:45am typically takes 45minutes. Progress :)

@@Gavin84w didn't say it was because they were using scrapers . It was because someone missed something and then there was so much horsepower that the unstoppable met the unmovable , and lost .

[@Bulldog1653]

I've always hated being on a rock job in a scraper. Give me a dozer and I'm like a pig in shit lol. About 15-16 years ago, I was on a HUGE spread in Arizona running a D-10 pushing scrapers and ripping rock. They had me on a D-9N ripping when I wasn't pushing and helping in a 35 foot cut. It wasn't uncommon to have several scrapers (a mix between 631's and 651's) pull in to the cut at the same time. If and when that happened, I would jump in and push one of the 631's out to help the pushers. It usually worked out pretty good. Honestly, I'm kind of surprised the D-11's didn't take that initiative to help when it's needed.

Two bulldozers pushing a scraper. Why do we have hydraulics? Why not get a track loader and use hydraulics to dig dirt and load it into a dump truck and drive off and dump it. Two bulldozers pushing a scraper struggling to scrap dirt into a box. That is like the hardest thing to do compared to a track loader. One track loader could dig and load a truck much more easily and faster and far far cheaper than that. Track loaders can push dirt like a dozer, the can load dirt like a loader, they can rip like a dozer. Scraping dirt with a blade into a box, a giant heavy 2 engined articulating design with a center pin that breaks and wears out, just the front engine torque wears that center pin out. Hydraulic pressure from a big pump can apply more force than two dozers pushing a scraper much more efficiently with far less wear and tear. Hydraulic pressure contained in a line applied to a bucket with a sharp cutting edge to dig in and up with break out force. A set of rubber tires on a big machine trying to gain traction in order to scrape dirt could never duplicate shear hydraulic pressure being applied in force. It's a huge inefficient expensive machine which replaces hydraulic force with rubber traction, not as strong or effective, push it with 2 bulldozers, maybe it will work. You could buy 6 or 7 heavy dump trucks to haul dirt cheaper and let hydraulics do the work of digging. Landfill project. Coal was 350 a ton, we need to build small powerplants near every landfill and burn trash instead of coal, that's like free fuel. Trash is 100 times cleaner than coal and its practically free. Every county could produce electricity at the landfill and become profitable and then we could pay for some sorting and recycling. Multiple small power plants so we can deal with this growing trash problem, clean burning. We are burning 5 billion tons of coal while huge mountains of trash pile up. 5 billion tons plus at 100 to 350 per ton for coal. We could save a lot of money everywhere and solve alot of these issues. LLXIIX77
