Digging new landfill cell with fleet of Caterpillar scrapers (Part 2)

[@zymkriger]

The most impressive thing is that company found that many employees willing to run scrapers and that are actually good enough to do the job.

Couldn't ask for better material to scrape up. Watching them is a better sleeping pill than listening to ocean waves or babbling brooks . Phone fell right out of my hand ! Nighty night.

[@kerryhunter4513]

To walk out on that site and smell the fresh dirt and the diesel fumes and a soft breeze on your face and hearing those monsters working is like heaven on earth. The scope of this job is tremendous and I’d love to be part of this. I helped build up levies once using the Army pans and moved from pan to dozer finally to graders. Loved every moment of that job.

[@belfast479]

Great video. I can't believe the number of scrapers. Thanx for sharin'.

[@Zyzzyx42]

Would love to see some time lapse footage to show how much a fleet like this moves in a day, or in a week. Watch the hilltops flatten or the valleys widen.

[@williamwhite9943]

Zyzzyx42 I was just thinking the same thing!

[@swazeyyy]

At my job we had 2 57s and 2 37s and we were moving 10k yds a day

[@bigredc222]

The description says 50,000 yards in an 8 hour day, but it would be nice to the difference from one day to the next, or from Monday to Friday. If you watch it on 2x speed they are really move some dirt, and it looks like they are driving highway speeds on the strait away to unload.

Think of the other aspects of this job. 1) The amount of fuel used 2) The number of oil changes 3) The number of mechanics to keep that fleet going. 4) The amount of grease I have no doubt whatsoever that there is a lot more to this list. simply amazing what goes into one of these jobs thanks for sharing the video.

[@kevincoleman9761]

California land of scrapers. I haul to some landfills in Utah they are filling old open pit mines. Much more efficient when available. It's fun to watch this and impressive but as an owner the costs to operate and maintain or rent these is unbelievable. I just got a 100 lot subdivision here and told owner we won't touch lots, let builders do it. Sewer, water, curb n gutter, sidewalk, pave it, power, gas and where done. About 5 pieces. Very little fuel. I own 2 scrapers we haven't used in 3 years. Work is shifting.

Great video of fantastic machines!! Strang landfills are still used in the US. Here in Belgium we incinerate everything, except for recycling of course. Because inevitably you' run out of space with landfills and you're stuck with the garbage in the ground.

So instead of garbage in the ground, you put garbage in the air (incinerating) and share with down wind residents? Holy shit, China has moved in!!

[@callmewheels4806]

I have often wondered how/why the call is made to use 651’s and push-cats vs. 657’s teamed-up. I see the 51’s on hill work, on the flats on big jobs and everywhere the 57’s work. Is it because 57’s aren’t available? I’m not smart enough to figure out the application difference(s). Can you enlighten? Love all the SoCal videos.

[@DirtSpread]

657s are self loading because they hook up. Front tractor loads first while back scraper pushes him. And then front scraper pulls while rear loads. 651 is called conventional single engine. They have to be pushed with a dozer to get a load. It’s a slower process and the single engine scraper gets lapped in the hills.

I'm guessing that either the environmentalists of CA don't know about this project or choose to ignore it? The amount of fuel being burnt in a day, the amount of land being relocated and the fact they're going to fill this hole with garbage has to piss someone off.

[@Kevin-is-here]

They actually seem pretty fast when they’re driving to the location

[@RyanHatterer-Ryanns999]

I can't say much for the 651's and 57's but I run a Terex pan, same size as a Cat 627 about, and I can get 32 MPH out of it, so these are pushing about 35 maybe more.

CA Governor Newsom is a Socialist giving away hard earned taxpayer dollars to illegal immigrants. I don't know how he was elected. 75 Million Dollars of your tax paid dollars will soon be given to Illegal Immigrants in CA, approved by Gov Newsom. Illegal Immigrants ARE NOT UNDOCUMENTED. Their immigration status is clearly known. They either entered this country Illegally or they overstayed their Visa time limit. Meanwhile, Americans are living on the street homeless and paying for the Immigrants to live inside subsidized housing. www.sfgate.com/news/article/California-Offers-First-COVID-19-Cash-Aid-to-15278546.php?CMS+Sharing+Tools+%28Desktop%29&fbclid=IwAR0_fDvUCHOnnLrgJHGiOto08t9HgURCt17Ay4PDd6_WONxI2s2CMRzaxzk

You would rather not leave the pressure on the hydraulic cylinders when in rest. They tend to leak down over time anyways.

If you leave them up and the Hydraulics or air (on a Terex pan) leak out that's about 400 or more pounds dropping on your head.
