I had operated a d 10n caterpillar and a 375 ax komatsu and just the fuel costs and routine maintenance per one machine is amazing

Scrapers are just straight up bad a$$ , I do believe to operate & take a scrapers over a cut like that one the seat has a mountain in the middle of it, just a little bit of butt pucker factor. It's a amazing how much material scrapers can move from a cut to a fill. My favorite kitty kitty scraper is a 631 open bowl, it just looks bad ass . I layed pipe for 18 yrs, when I started to learn it was under one of the work horses of it's day, a kitty kitty 245D to dig deep sewer.

Nice! Prime work conditions there. No rock to deal with or high water table where I'm at.

And unlike here in canada, no tire sized frost lumps.

Can you pls give a link to what this is all for? Is this for a rubbish tip? If so this shows the scale of what we are doing to this planet.
