Dozer even went down the slide! Really cool to sit and watch these great westcoast operators do what they do best. "DIG" it! Thanx SoCal Earthmovers for sharing. I could watch for hours!

Thanks again for posting....we loved it in the past when you we're posting more, Gimb

At 4:10 when that dozer comes sliding down with the ripper firmly stuck in the ground. Absolutely AWESOME!

dozers dont slide down hills like that buddy. he was using his momentum to rip and push for the scrapers

I had seen a lot of sliding on one , but you are right about using the weight & speed to help rip.

Absolutely brilliant, hope you got some more of that. thumbs up.

Man i dont miss Those days.

Nose up and hold on to your ASS

That's gotta be scary AF the first few runs!

wow very great movie ! love to see that machine !! thanks for making it !!

dammed rite! just drop that pan and letter roll!! great vid boys!

Great video!!!!! I miss watching scraper vids

Now that's what I call muck shifting! Thanks for sharing.

I remember when the m54 was built we used to bike up to the works hide our bikes jump in the dumper trucks with the drivers share there dinners n have a ball happy days when we were kids 😀😀

That would have been fun. Good job.

I don't think I've seen a 'dozer come down a slope as fast as that one did for a long time - and he had his ripper down. Lovely video - could watch them for hours - how about a compilation of all your early stuff.

I would love to do that, just load down a mountain. So heavy they sit down in that soil,stay on the up hill side and leg it's weight,transmission/brakes,and gravity go to work..very impressive.

That's a slope! Thanks for sharing :-)

That is a lot steeper when your in the cab!

First time down that must be kind of like the first time solo landing in an airplane when you say to yourself, What did I get myself into? But when your landing you can power up and go around, here you are committed.

You guys always have big jobs going on,it would be cool to see an equipment list.

You guys need to put up videos more often. Thanks

Id watch this shit all day long lol awesome

That's why it takes balls to be an Operator.

MORE, MORE.....DID I SAY MORE. I've read in the comments that many of the CAT 651 operators say " Its steep but really it's safe as long as you keep your can down and loading" . My question is and I must first validate that I wanting to see a near mishap, not to be macabre rather just very curious. I'm thinking there's a fine line between operator experience and a slight mis-judgement on crowding the area where the dozer went next to the "edge". Regardless, Very VERY INTERESTING video !

SoCalEarthMovers - Do you have any footage of that quarry at Railroad Pass? Between Henderson and Boulder NV. Right across US95 from Railroad Pass Casino. Spent a few hours in the casino parking lot watching them bring loaded scrapers down the near vertical haul road. I was chewing holes in my pick-up seat just watching. Can't imagine what it was like actually doing it.

Mountain top removal I love it

want to see more, I eat and sleep big machinery. I operated all of these machinery, 34 years.

ok spectacular....

3:45 but I don't want to go down that hill....gitttttt !!!!

Awesome. That'd the scary as hell the first few times

is this for affordable housing?

You are okay as long as your back tires don't pass your front tires.

Maybe think about who put it there

They will produce

Are they just scraping it away bit by bit?

Clarence Cornbinder First time you go over a slope like that you question your job but then it's just another part of the job. keep your can low and there's nothing dangerous about it.
