CAT 651B Scrapers Shifting Sandstone

[@dozerboy67]

When I worked for Kiewit when we built the Los Vaqueros reservoir up by Vasco Rd up in Livermore Ca they had a team of six 651s and 2 D10 rip cats and 2 D10 push cats. Those guys would back up in tandem in 3rd gear! With 2 10s behind a 651 in that soft dirt they had the it boiling over the top after the can barely touched the ground! It was something else! I ran a brand new 825 compactor on the dam all summer, it was a great time and an amazing experience. Thanks for a trip down memory lane! Be safe out there! 🇺🇸💪👊👍

Fulton put a 9l behind a 10 that Rudy was running loaded in 6 seconds

[@GeorgeLafortune]

I ran a Push Cat as shown and a 651 too, and we'd push in 2nd and usually back up in 3rd.....

[@rockkitty100]

Love these videos, thank you! I could watch them all day. Yet, another future subdivision where the yards will drain like a cement patio.......

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

651B's will never leave this planet not still running!!! 💪🍻🇺🇲

[@dennisholst4322]

Balanced and productive

[@likeaboss860]

Yeah you gotta push scrapers thru the rock. This is a demonstration of right machines right job. Very well done.

[@michaelthompson1530]

Thanks, brings back memories of my childhood, my grandfather whose company helped build the Alaskan Highway, and his years after building roads through out the Midwest…

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

The D10 pushing the D10 that is pushing the scraper. Good video, enjoyed it.

[@phillipbonner5215]

A perfect orchestra of earth moving machines 💪

[@dennisholst4322]

They are the best

[@dennisholst4322]

And always will be

[@danielbrofft1454]

Thank you for the update. I love all the heavy iron

[@banuamekanikal454]

wow, great movement of two bulldozers very fast to push the scraper 👍👍

[@jimsvideos7201]

Good way to keep welders and mechanics busy, surely.

[@wailnshred]

That's a pan spread for you.😅

[@garytompkins3761]

Cutting uphill, here come the keyboard scraper operators!😁 Great video. Those 631 is are tough little boogers

[@dennisholst4322]

Maybe they. Are loading up. That. Rough. Stuff. For a special purpose

[@GrovelandJohn]

Love your videos. They are the next best thing to watching a CAT Power Parade

[@johnlee4044]

I love running dozer. Even the ol’ push cat

[@franckboot9519]

The CCM model manufacturer will soon release this beautiful D10N in push dozer configuration (1/48 scale)!

[@williamgibb5557]

Teamwork at its finest. The timing sems to be right on between the dozers backing up to catch the next pan. Not their first day as operators on this iron .

[@neftalirosado6167]

Wow!!! Spectacular view and great video !!! Thanks

[@chrisj2848]

Wow double push Cat's! Ive never seen that move before.

[@dennisholst4322]

That Do make it nice

[@davidwood1294]

Very common in California. Bigger loads in less time = lower cost per cubic yard.

[@ianwallett7438]

The guys on the D10’s certainly earn their money. Wonder how many hours the tracks do?

[@OscarMartinez-fg8re]

incredible, I can see the operator spinning his wheels and he is being pushed by the Bulldozer,

[@rccalhoun]

oops, the grade checker set the lasers 1 foot off. regrade entire job, please.

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

Blame the surveyors. 👍🍻🇺🇲

[@dennisholst4322]

What are they dipping out

[@dennisholst4322]

What is this material to be used for

[@stevenspace]

what is the job of a non push cat D10

[@dennisholst4322]

It's like getting the wrong way right

[@terryperrott9913]

Was this when they did the dirt work for I-5 or I-10

[@rockkitty100]

The 5 and 10 were built in the early 60's.

[@digger1825]

Housing development

[@dennisholst4322]

Are you related to Bill

[@generationll]

Couldn t a D11N or a D11R take the place of 2 of these D10Ns?

[@jeffwheeler4693]

Probably, but they may not have an 11 set up as a push tractor. Can't imagine a company as big as this would pay 3 guys to do the job that 2 can do with bigger equipment if they didn't HAVE to.

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

Actually no. 👍🍻🇺🇲

[@hickory01au]

Sometimes they dig uphill to pull the tail up otherwise the pit ends up too long..

[@crispinaske8293]

Would not want the fuel bill.

[@TimKuhn-d3c]

Rock loads better up hill, rolls back in the bowl .

[@wailnshred]

Yeah, people on here freak out about uphill loading, but gravity tends to pull material into the bowl that way. I'm not recommending trying to load uphill on a steep slope mind you, but depending on the material sometimes it's productive.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

It also loads better when they close the apron earlier and do not let some of the load fall out.

[@jwh4832]

Been There Done That :)

[@Jdigger4130]

earth MOVING

[@dennisholst4322]

This is some boney stuff

[@digger1825]

I was a operator i have had 6 back surgeries and 1 neck surgery, can you gues why? 😂

[@dennisholst4322]

Looking at Juicy Lucy maybe

[@digger1825]

@@dennisholst4322 no, looking at your wife, it sent me into convolutions and ruptured 4 of my discs. But thanks for the concern

[@dennisholst4322]

Nose up on the scraper

[@edmcelhone4501]

these are very sucsefule they know the job better to push them uphill they diging in a hole uphill both ways they keep bottom on grade easer

[@2xKTfc]

California heat, all that dust and noise, that company really hates the guyw in the open station machines.

[@dennisholst4322]

That is tough digging

[@dashaB-sl4pu]

The question begs with all that dust,why don't all the drivers have enclosed air conditioned cabins, their lungs must be a mess at the end of a shift in that????

[@albertogarcia5276]

You probably have never seen or worked in a truly dusty enviroment to say that.

[@dashaB-sl4pu]

@@albertogarcia5276It's hardly rocket science with dust related lung diseases causing death but rednecks wouldn't understand that

[@nigelhodges7173]

Seems hard work to load up hill

[@secondgear6079]

Balls up hill in Rocks balls

[@edward7461]

Cutting uphill with two dozer pushing where are the push pull scappers turn that cut around and go down hill

[@Gavin84w]

push pull in sandstone with a short cut.....riiiiiiiiight.

[@RodLarkin]

[@digger1825]

Shut up

[@GeorgeLafortune]

I remember this job well. I'm on an open Push Cat in this video

[@dennisholst4322]

Pet rocks for sale

Trying to shuve him into school

[@Dinoxt12]

Low budget outfit...No Cabs, Straight Pipe no mufflers Wow...except for a couple of Dozers with cabs. I'm all set I'll, pass on this job...Good video.

[@RandyMartin-jx8yi]

Dont worry that jobsite aint for whiners n yankees no ways so u would be safe from gettin hired anyways

[@GeorgeLafortune]

Not a "Low budget outfit" by any means, as all the equipment was tight and well maintained. I ran a Push Cat and Scraper on this job.....

[@dennisholst4322]

Pushing uphill what are they digging a Kate Smith swimming pool

[@dennisholst4322]

Maybe it's undesirable material

[@andycurran3327]

818,000 people left California & your building a road for what, so they can come back or more to leave.

[@AndyFromBeaverton]

It's not very fun pushing while being pushed by a cat. You feel like a bobblehead.

[@EyesOnlyTeam86]

Mmmmm.... Im gonna tell Sleepy Joe and Newsome.....this equipment isn't battery powered!!

[@brianw4068]

I guess they never heard that cutting downhill is easier and faster. Typical California.

[@gregbridges2365]

Uphill that’s a no no and rear push cat should pickup next scraper 🤦

[@Control-Alt-Delete619]

I don't think you understand the video, or what's going on here, but yes we always try to load downhill facing the fill, but that's just not always possible. 🍻🇺🇲

[@Gavin84w]

@@Control-Alt-Delete619 exactly....if you are digging a hole with scrapers you are gunna go uphill in the cut at some point

[@wailnshred]

​@@Gavin84wThank you. How are you going to cut out a pond without going uphill at some point?
