I could watch this all day. No sun, no bugs, nobody chasing you away.....and no skipping school all day to watch.........

I've seen alot of this growing up in Phoenix. All of a sudden one day, there wasn't any distance between all of the suburbs anymore. These machines were at the forefront of it all.

Same for me growing up in the 1980s in Gaithersburg Maryland with a lot of new development and heavy equipment leading the way.

These pans remind me of the machines I ran in the Army. A 4 wheel drive tractor center articulated steer and a bowl that did all the work. Tractors made by Cat or Clark and the bowls made by Euclid or Westinghouse/Letornio

Believe me, you work your nuts off in a pushcat if you know what you're doing. You're constantly reading the grade and making a plan of attack to keep all of the scrapers going where you need to cut. All shifting and forward/reverse and steering is done with the left hand, and the blade is run with the right, so at times it feels like you're doing kung-fu in there to keep up. The pushcat can also do a lot of fine-tuning with the scraper as it's loading. It's great fun.

When we used to double-push the pushers used to leapfrog, that is to say that the one behind got into reverse whilst the first one was finishing off the push as the scraper was raising its bowl. He then buttoned-up first and the other went behind him, and so it went on, alternating.

Many people are being critical of the need for the push cats. This is a VERY common practice in road building /earth moving. There are several factors that go in to the decision to use them, such as soil conditions, how much earth is being taken at a time, and equipment on job site.. My Dad and uncle were with the big road building companies during the heyday of road construction and spent many hours eating dirt in the cabless push cats of the day.

Thank you! You've answered a question I've had. I've wondered why nobody does that. It's always seemed to me that would be faster but in all the videos I've seen on YT no one does. We don't have a lot of scraper action around here so I have to get my fix on YT.

Scrapers have the push bock on the back for either a dozer pushing or another scraper pushing. A 657G is a twin engine scraper with ECM controlled traction control for very limited wheel spin. This makes both engines work completely in tandem and are self loading.

My dad operated a 660 in the 60's, I recall that scraper when heaped holding about 54 yards if memory serves. Looked like it took those 10's about 45 seconds to do it.

Thanks d6r and Jimmy for the info. Never ran a D10 but did some pushing with D9Gs

Wow! D10 push cats!! 660s from the 1960s!!! Doesn't get much cooler!!

wow, even the bulldozer pushing the scraper needs a push too 😂

Those 660s are very beautiful machines...

I LOVE the dozer operators sign language!

Well Samuel Arnold, with hard or compact dirt such as this, most scrapers have rubber tires and don't have the necessary traction it takes to fill them. That is why all scrapers have the huge rear push bumper, for dozer assistance. In soft or loamy dirt, they can easily self load.

Great vid, takes me back to my old D9G days tandem pushing 631Bs in Western Australia. Really great stuff keep it coming.

When my dad served in the Air Force in a civil engineering unit back in the late 60's, he talks about how they took the top off of a mountain in Korea this way to make a spot for a radar site. They needed to build it fast and on a level spot, and that was the most efficient way they could do it. It looks like a waste of fuel, but actually it SAVES fuel load for load!

Those old 660's have surely paid for themselves more than twice over, that's for sure.

Monotonous well coordinated effort.

Definitely speeds up the process. Looks like you get a deeper cut, because you are able to lift the back of the scraper. Fills that baby right up

The biggest one I every ran was 657E. Twin ( push pull ) oil patch

neat video! you don't see tandem d10's pushing 60's very often. at least I haven't.

I like this one digging and pushing.

I hope they are paying the mechanics good money to keep those old 60's running dang!

Nice and big machines!

Четкая работа. Просто приятно посмотреть.

D10 CAT ! oooo I LIKE those ! I'd LOVE to drive one. that's one serious machine. all those need is a full cab with heat/AC and your ready for ANY work in comfort. yeah, I'd love to drive one.

Narley good work fellars

wow 660,s that take me back to my theiss day,s , the larges of them all they use to wheel stand and you were looking at the sky

man i wish we had jobs like that where i live lol looks fun

enjoy watching these guys work together, throwing hand signals, i.e. get the hell outa here. Ran some pushcat back in the day, lots of "trainees", hated hole diggers, hard on the back

こういうのは、一日中見てても飽きない。空港の離発着シーンを見るのと同じ面白さだ！

Deermeyer os absolutely correct.I've run scrapers,and not getting a full can,will result in getting sent home....

thats love the vid of the old girls , that took me back

We double pushed 630B's (a baby 660) with a D8H-46A and a D7F to be able to load them in the sand of Palm Springs. A long time ago.. .

Pushing one each other for increase the traction and thus move more material easily

Devastator team :)

I could look to this kind of video during hours!

Great video

I love the sound of 3 turbochargers howling away... 3:10

Man that would have been cool to see on vacation. The biggest pice of iron I seen was a 350 excavator and a 40 ton haul truck while I was in California. By the way Santa Barbra is beautiful.

Great video.

i would love to ride there :)

How bout finding video of DD9 pushing 666 scrapers at Anaconda Mine in the 60"s. That would be awesome. Thanks for putting this up, it is great!

THere are 2 gas turbine power plants in the background, kinda curious where this is, I'm thinking taft area? Probably ge 7fe turbines

I kinda have no idea what is happening. Are the lowering the height of the grade?

M Hoff sitting on a scraper was a nightmare. They beat you to death. I much prefer sitting on the dozer myself. Scrapers were for the young kids.

ESPECTACULAR!!!!!

Wonder how many bodies they scoop up each year.

they are removing material which would be lower grade. they are taking it to an area to unload to stockpile or to raise grade

How many yards of material can one of them scrappers hold

what does that thing do thats in the middle? It collects stuff, never seen it. I assume it makes ground steady.

I'm pretty sure these are the largest single bucket scrapers made no? There is a reason they needa little help, they are moving a ton of material, and these units are extremely fast, can do over 40mph so it's a easy way to level terrain fast. Nice to see some of these old girls still working. Sounds like they have been repowered though.

Try loading 26 heaping cubic yards in dump trucks in under 30 seconds and having the ground be relatively flat using an excavator its the right application of machinery for this particular situation.

The specs say that Cat 660B scraper can haul 54 yards heaping..... just fyi.

is this open cut mine overburden or?

657G have to engines and normally hook up to a second 657. That's enough power to load a 657. 660's need all the help they can get.

Son impresionantes

So, what is going to be built here that requires so much material to be moved?

great clip

These dozers are very hard-working.

Wow, there are a big number of scrapers in this building. What is this road?

they can haul or dump for the most part but no the need it in the cut. They can self load to varying degrees but for production uses they need a push

Those 660's had 660 horsepower, a big V-8. Lot's of ponies here doing this loading of the scraper, somethings got to give a bit with 2 D-10's behind.

These tractors are very hard-working.

mi hijo alexis moreno es 100% admirador de estas maquinas, siempre pide solo eso ver en youtube

judging by the looks of the ground after a cut they definitely need help pushing. the tens are keeping up nicely, good and steady loading what 60 yards per pan, 6-700 yards an hour. if I had a 40' cut I'm still partial to off road trucks and s big excavator. looks like a money maker of a job though ha.
