There is nobody telling them where each pass should be. Only the boss telling them to come back tomorrow or not.

[@rockkitty100]

I find it interesting a single D10 can't push a 651 given two 657's don't need to be pushed. With that said, these guys sure know a hell of a lot more than I do so there's a reason......

[@garykemp6436]

With 2100 hp and 8 wheels driving when two 657's are hooked up they have why more power than one dozer

[@timothygrell4398]

Look at it this way as well. 57`s have twice the maintenance cost to run. Let say they have 20 651 scapers running they are only using 22 motors kn that push spread. If they had the same 20 657 they would 40 motors to maintain.

[@Gavin84w]

@@timothygrell4398 bingo....twin powers are a lazy mans scraper unless on steep country or slippery underfoot conditions...they cost heaps to run on the flat going

Why do they double push? Because the ground is so hard?

Normaly there are 2 scrapers linking. That is 4 engines working. 1 scraper plus 2 dozers gets the same puish?

[@tijuanastranglers503]

We double push because it loads faster! We use 51’s instead of 57’s in the rock because it’s less tear on the tires and rig

looks in inefficient theres always at least one or more scraper waiting to load. maybe if you we pushing them uphill you might need that power 2 push cats. I dont understand if you got that whole area of cut whats your reason for this?

[@dennisholst4322]

The bosses want the pushcats loading scrapers not waiting for one

[@kenlink5667]

Two dozers to push a scraper DOWNHILL?? I’m missing something here.

[@LSUFaithful7]

I would recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYSZZKdur7h2eaM&ab_channel=Pushysix%C2%AE But essentially, CAT makes single and twin-engine scrapers. These are the largest single-engine as denoted by the 1 at the end. Since they are a single-engine unit they need help scraping the dirt, because as the weight mounts they are unable to pull themselves through the dirt, hence the push. The larger twin-engine units (657) are essentially four-wheel drive, with two motors, you will see these units operate in a push-pull fashion. Where the first unit cuts and is pushed, once they finish, then they use that weight to pull the next unit into the cut as they collect dirt.

[@kenlink5667]

Operated single Cats with and without self loaders, CAT and Terex twins in my early working years. When used, push dozers mostly made possible a deeper cut in a shorter distance than without. Never two dozers per buggy. Possible a bean counter somewhere calculated two per was more cost effective?

[@LSUFaithful7]

@@kenlink5667 Potentially, I've read and been told that push-pull twin-engine scrappers are more effective because the primary unit is essentially being pushed, as they would be by a dozer. Then, once they are full they can use that power and extra weight to pull the second unit along, which will have a deeper cut and larger load. I don't know where it originated from though.

[@dennisholst4322]

Load time is reduced loading on the level takes longer
