We used to have 4 scrapers that ran materials from our rock Crusher (Fresh Kills Landfill, now closed). We also had 10 dozer pulled scrapers. Originally with D8Ks, then upgraded to D8Ls. Running an old cable scraper pulled by a D8 with clutch and brake pedals was part of the practical test for the job. Back in the day. IUOE Local 15

Thanks. Must take a fleet of tankers to keep that lot running, - I presume that is what we call 'red diesel' - it's cheaper for vehicles that do not run on the road as there is no 'road tax' on it. That would make it approx. $2.50 per gallon in the UK - although with the amount they use I expect they get it at a special rate. Nevertheless must be some bill per day with the number of vehicles they were running.

My firs trip down took me a couple of minutes much to the amusement of the old guys. My knees were shaking when I finally got to the bottom. Anything short of a sheer drop off they won't go over as long as you keep the nose down hill and the can in the dirt. To this day a scraper is my favorite piece of equipment to operate.
