That's my boy Jimmy Duffy on "Erug" our Cat D8-2U and Cat 435-F towed scraper. And me on "Big Red" our International Harvester TD-24-241. Boxing out the new roadway with the help of many others! Thanks for the video. Chum..

Thanks for the comment - glad you liked the video.

Absolutely love this, thank you very much for sharing.

[@ShootsStudio]

Thank You. I'm glad people enjoy this video. It was fun putting it together. The road was built over the course of several days, so I kept going back to get more footage, and tried to show the progress as it went along.

I like the push blocks on the back of the TC-12, in case it doesn't have enough power. Looks like a great show, too bad we don't go to NY any more. Really nice camera work!

I learned pulling cable scrapers, you brake a cable on a hot humid mid 90's day and a very upset mechanic has to come out and help you fish a new cable. You learn early on to be very gentle lifting those full pans. I retired from local 234 in Desmoines Iowa with thirty years vested the last 20 of those thirty years were running escavators.

[@leewatkins1610]

cat belly dump,ive never seen one,with track hoes so common today they would be good ,but end dumps have taken their place,probably because mud is hard to get out of a belly dump
