Back in the Saddle on a 623F CAT Elevating Scraper after 25yrs!!!
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Here is another video of my time helping to Build a large Dam on a Property which has a feed lot in Central Queensland. The other Scraper used on this Job is a 623G it has 1 Joy stick control to do all bowl and elevator operations instead of the 3 lever configuration that my scraper does.

Adrian the brave cowboy of outback tames and gives breath to the tired monsters that scare the dreams of the green ants. 🥰🤪

It's a Komatsu D85A and was used to clear a few trees, stick rake the mess and put in the spill way and chase. Thankfully didn't need it to push us out of any bogs.
Using the elevator in reverse to empty was a big no no when I was taught unless it was real chunky material, as all U are doing is wearing out the chains when U don't have too. In free flowing material it usually runs out without the need of the elevator.

We were having problems trying to adjust The auto greaser because the boss doesn't have a manual for it. And hydraulic oil is a good binding agent to help seal up holes in the clay 😂🤣🤣

I was loading in 2nd gear. You only really load in 1st when you're trying to get ongrade doing final trim work on road formations or if it's really hard going and the material is wet.

Just the usual gremlins. I think it was something to do with the auto greaser from memory. The boss said just ignore them.
you sit back in the seat to much... it'll break you. ride it like a horse. no seatlbelt.

Thanks for the advice, but the seat actually had a bolt missing and the air ride was faulty. I drove an older model B after this over rougher ground and it rode much better and was more comfortable. This was also a part time job, I Drive Trains for a Living and they don't Buck like a scraper or at least not as much 😉 Cheers.
