What Is A Scrader

I met some Awesome Canadians, Shane Marzoff and Brian Craig, and got an explaination of what the Scrader is and what it's used for, plus some footage from Ken at SoCalEarthmovers thanks Ken! here is a link to his KZbin Channel, lots of big Cali dirt

I worked for Prairie road here in Canada a few times, learnt a lot. I never worked for the original owner (Ron) directly but have heard countless stories of him. Apparently very good with dirt and didn’t put up with shit at all. We need more Ron in the world.

Amazing scaper-blade thingy! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@burningdinosaurs]

Wowza! Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Cate R. Pillar is a nice gal, makes nice yaller colored equipment for playing in the dirt.

[@swampratt36]

Insanity ,the very definition of the 25 M build cost . Would love to see an update on that beast . Thanks Jeff 👍.

GOOD TIMES ARE PRICELESS

[@markgroth4380]

I have seen some pretty good size graders on road building sites, but that 25M is just huge.

[@mikexcavator]

Can confirm, Alex Burnoot get light in the loafers under an office desk.

[@waynetharp]

To funny!🤣 You sure seem to attract some real characters! So which one rolls the heavy clay faster? The Scrader or the Big M?

[@rtz549]

That 25M is huge.

[@markfryer9880]

So from the sounds of it the Scrader should actually be known as the Franken Scrader. Even with all that iron at the rear it still got out of shape if you get too hungry with the bread knife.

[@rogermarshall8991]

Crazy Canadians. And you thought Australia was upside down.

[@andrewtoyotarees1379]

Not seen one of these before, and I know a fair bit about machines .

[@timmysmith5464]

It's a custom build

[@tractorboy31]

Certified dirty idle. Lol. Gotta love it

[@dplant8961]

Hi, Folks. This 'scrader', built by Brent Engineering, was originally posted by SoCalEarthmovers under the name, "S18G". kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5ataI19aax5jMU Brent Engineering also built the 25M grader: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5OXhWx8bdB4hZI And the D57T scraper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXjdpmtrd7-Znbc Just my 0.02. You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

[@stanpatterson5033]

So how would the 24M or 25M stand up to a Champion 80T or even the Champion 100T ?

[@13eckerlosmuerte]

Not a chance, different machines with different appatites for dirt. Champions are slower more powerful, but it takes a hell of a crew to move and assemble them and ensure they are in working order, while the 24 and 25 are quicker yet they are more manageable. The champions are more large highway, massive industrial sites, while the cats can be put in places where champions just don't fit into the project.

just Awesome Jeff and you sure sound like you had a great visit with those Canucks ayy!

[@anthonygonzales908]

I've seen this critter on U-tube. A horse of a different color. Lots of power and doesn't seem to spin tires. I think it was drying or mixing dirt. From the front it looks like a scraper. From the side it looks like a blade.

[@denistrudel5133]

hade to watch this one twice good vid thank you

[@LilGiantsConstrCo]

I saw that Brent Engineering utube vid 5 or more yrs ago, been thinking of making a radio controlled model similar to it for awhile now, maybe this summer... mine will be using a Bell 4206 tractor as the lead with powered tandem axles in the rear.

[@iusetano]

Excellent video Jeff.

Really great vedio Jeff. Thank you for doing them.

[@waynecompton7612]

Thank you for the video Jeff, you meet some nice people 👍😎🇬🇧.

[@jeffsnider3588]

If you like wild creations like this you should get one of R. G. Letourneau books. He built the first rubber tire pan, a Tournapull. Lots of his early creations were electric drive and had electric operated actuators.

[@wlogue]

Check out tournadude on KZbin, lots of cool old footage. I think he's a relative of mr. Le tourneau

[@jeffsnider3588]

Two great inventive minds which were very influential were Robert G. Letourneau and Charles Kettering. Nothing is our education systems teaches young people about people like this and the things they do, instead we learn about some philosophy that says people came from monkeys. Many people have never heard of Daniel Best and Benjamin Holt - the two company founders that combined to make Caterpillar.

[@infoanorexic]

I'd heard a story that basically amounted to "Letourneau hated hydraulics." The other part of it was that his son was fascinated with them, and would do research projects on the sly ... and daddy always caught him at it.

[@dennisholst4322]

I ran one did you

[@briangardiner1015]

It is almost like christmas for me when a new So Cal Earthmovers video comes out. I watch them religously. Have you ever seen the book called Caterplillar Chronicle by Eric C. Orlemann? The History of the world's greatest earthmovers. It is published by MBI publishing there is a web site motorbooks.com. It is the history of Caterpillar. There are some cool pics in it.

[@Bennyboy46a]

That ATCON 385 has a lotta miles under it too.

[@bcbloc02]

That excavator trailer looked like a bear to get into and out of tight spots with! Wouldn't a scrader have a lot more horses than a typical grader? Kind of hard to watch your moldboard though I would think.

[@markfryer9880]

That whole set up had way too many wheels and articulated points to be anything but a nightmare. Was there any escort vehicle with the units?

[@markfryer9880]

I agree with your comment about being able to watch the mold board, but it's not really the sort of machine for detail work and lots of machines are not good for an operator's neck or body for that matter.

[@stanpatterson5033]

Don't know how they would have done it 40yrs ago, but today you could have numerous cameras watching the area the moldboard covers, and a monitor in the cab.

[@robertquast9684]

Looked like they had it set up for gps on the video

[@1powercom]

So cal is great channel probably the best scraper footage on you tube by some margin great sound even on his drone footage but not so many posts as i would like but all ways worth watching. Nice video , i didn't even know a 25 was made im guessing it was not a big seller for cat

[@clydeacor1911]

The 24's were made for maintaining haul roads for open pit mine's and I'm sure that's what the 25's used for too so I'd think that there's a demand for them just not a big demand because there's only so many of those large mines in operation.

[@markrobert5279]

Cat didn't make the 25m. The same guy that dreamt up the srader built it.

[@hudsonjamesc]

Hey Jeff, if you make a shirt that says "Certified Dirty Idle" I would buy it.

[@excavatorfun6265]

I think I know exactly where that comes from , you can see that scrader in my videos , It was in a old prairie road builders yard where their equipment was stored after they moved out of canada, lots of other machines were stored there like a D10 made into a scraper too

[@Jpaydirt]

yup Watched your vid, it's a 637 not a 657 do you know shane

[@excavatorfun6265]

Jpaydirt no I don’t, my bad I couldn’t even remember myself, the yellow semi looks like prairie road builders truck that has been hauling the equipment back south, and I know the scraper in my video was made in Cali. The yard I was talking about is located near westlock Alberta too . You make amazing videos my friend keep up the great work!

[@dennisholst4322]

Go to a school teachers party

[@adriannettlefold9084]

It had to be Canadian didn't it... I don't really see any advantage to having one, except it's uniqueness. I guess you have to give em points for Trying, but you can't beat a Grader for the work you can do.
