Double pushing 651E & 651B scrapers

[@unclestinkyfinger]

Now that I've watched right to the end...the two guys on the push cats are amazing. It takes a lot of skill to tag onto a buggy so smoothly. Hats off to you gents.

@SoCalEarthMovers-Thanks for all the vids. My grandad was a blaster,my uncle owned his D8. There is something very "clean" about all that dirt after working inside for years. Best wishes.

These guys are not screwing around. Great video,excellent sound !

[@ConstructionMachinesChannel]

Super video. Looks like a well run operation & team with no screwing around!

[@GeorgeLafortune]

What a great video! This was Ralph Mitzel's, or was it Independent's job in South Orange County. I'm the guy on the open cab Push Cat in the front with the white T-shirt, and this brings back fond memories.....

These huge scrapers bring back some great memories, not of driving them though I wish! But on a nearby Motorway, nearby actually the M25 the machines were corralled on the edge of the estate where I lived and gradually moved up as they reached the required depth of about 20/25 feet. A relative has thrown out the thousands of photos I had from that section of the road including the 'death defying' runs I would make standing in front of the machines taking photo's and then shifting ASAP!

The push dozers guys are some good team!

@mrbluenum. tandum pushing is for quicker loads so two push cats can load more scrapers at one time.for 51s a single d10 cant work but doest do as well as 2 or a single d 11

Great job guys.i used to do that kind of work 15 years ago.need more training on the the equipment.

[@unclestinkyfinger]

But I love the video, and want to see more, thanks for posting it. Love movin dirt!

[@mrbluenun]

Just wondered why they need two track layers to put one scraper. Is it because it is the desert and on a hill it is dried solid, or perhaps the 'soil' is on its turn into low density rock sandstone, shale and so on?

[@Dirtsmith]

Can you explain the hand signals the front push cat operator has been throwing out on every video?

[@Gavin84w]

Kenny delivers again! nice work mate.That is a dozer driver running the cut, something you don,t see much any more unfortunately, you can tell the way he has the scraper ops running that he knows his shit and has educated them to run just like he wants, those shots from the left rear show some good action and timing, seems that way to me anyways.

[@xray606]

I've always wondered why they don't put some big rubber plates on those bumpers, like they use on tugs. Seems like that would be a little more easy on the equipment.

[@wailnshred]

the push cats have cushioned blades

[@bladerunner6354]

???

[@generationll]

Quite a setup.Are these the biggest bulldozers on site?

[@Gavin84w]

Kenny, you wanna see about getting a camera mounted up on the underside of the ROPS facing down to the controls just to show how busy that op is.

[@MicrobyteAlan]

Mesmerizing

[@unclestinkyfinger]

Nah, if your equipment isn't junk.a push- pull works just as well, and parks two very expensive dozers which cost a ton of fuel.

[@geraldojosejustiniano]

Muito fera tractor todos ok.

[@cat8235]

GEILES VIDEO !!! Caterpillar Immer eine gute arschine

[@Gavin84w]

Pushloading action is way better than push pulls

[@Gavin84w]

3 engines burning fuel as in the video, 4 engines burning fuel with push pull, seems to me right there the costs would be lower as in the video, also you have 4 tyres driven on each scraper vs 2 with a single power so in rocky material there is more chance for cuts, steep terrain or wetter jobs the PP works well but for moderate grades and any material you cant go past a single power open bowl being push loaded.

[@Br-sy9vi]

Fuck that would be boring doing that all day especially in an open cab.

[@Sam_Huang87]

Nice

[@jozzie2000]

The rubber would not survive.
