I’m seeing an ultimate motocross track!!

As a 2nd generation and lifelong dirt hawg this brought back amazing childhood memories of some pretty cool scraper shows we ran, please post a video of the lineup at quitting time and the warmup in the morning as the PM team work through all the iron, that would be a real cool look for everyone to see that kind of pit stop!!

I use to be project manager on jobs like these in northern and southern calif. they work with yards moved and placed and compacted. the average 33 yd heaped scraper can haul min 1500 yds a day depending on length of haul. so you do the math. how many scrapers times yds hauled a day and youll be close. that is heaven to me. I miss that work.

the belly scraper was my favourite machine to operate, so much fun

I used to run a dual engine scraper. It burned about 180 gallons of diesel per 12 hour shift x 6 days a week. I miss that job!

You guys are doing a fine job , all the equipment is moving , the job site looks clean and organized. Dam I miss it. I am an operator . Its a love hate relationship with grading . I love the machines and the challenges that you face constantly. I love the crews , they become like brothers to you. We all look out for each other , we all carry our own weight too , we all respect the machines , safety first always. The part that sucks was sitting on a machine for 8 hours a day doing the same thing day in day out . Very monotonous . You really do not talk to anyone while you are working and you are usually in a remote area where you never see people other than truck drivers and operators . That is the part that wore me out the most . Driving in circles ... But someone has to do it ! Much respect for those folks on the machines and especially the foreman for keeping everything rolling . Sometimes that is hard to do . You hiring ? lol

So this is where all the diesel went

Keep these videos coming! This kind of stuff on this kinda scale fascinates me.

My grandfather had one of those scrapers sitting broken down in the back corner of his mobile home park for years. Always wondered how it worked.

Now these Blokes have got heaps of experience in the field Now thats what i like too see Great video thanks for Sharing Australia

What an absolutely incredible project. I really want to get out your way to see those big projects.

Best videos on you tube, no shaky hands and great clarity, always a pleasure to watch ! REPLY

Wow, outstanding. Deserves more then just one 👍🏼😍 amazing work, shooting that video. Thank u so much for sharing.

I run a 657E. I move about 50tons a load and do on average 120 loads in 11.5 hours. We have 16 bugs on site. 8 pairs. We move a shit ton of material fast.

A time laps would be awesome! It is awesome to see a train of push pulls.

Incredible footage! What an awesome video, one of your best.

Like watching a beehive at work, havent seen that many motor scrapers working together before .... impressive

I miss working on a big dirt crew, it’s a good feeling knowing that you’re a part of doing something like that. Nice synchronicity between the push cats and the scrapers, that’s when you know you’ve got good hands. They make it look easy. 🇺🇸💪👊

Awesome only word to describe equipment and operation absolutely awesome

i love this drone shots.

Brilliant coverage!! I would really like to see the area when all the major works have been completed....any chance of that? Great to see how well the whole fleet is working together...like a well tuned orchestra. Their dust suppression team is doing a great job too.

Big project, always like to watch those scrapers

That final flyover almost made my jaw hit the floor. I kept wondering just how many scrapers were on this job. Then I saw several work sites. All which had a fleet of scrapers, just wow. Oh and that dozer with the side moldboard is interesting. Definitely don't see that everyday. Great footage!

I watched this project as it occurred not far i lived. Dust overwhelmed all in vicinity.

Much better than my prescription sleeping meds! Gonna watch this everynite and get off those Damn things, Thanks!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ post a time laps on the next video. It would be very cool to see time laps at the start of the day, end of the day until the project is complete. Should have an average haul distance and a cube counter as well. Awesome footage anyway! Thanks for posting!!! 👍👍

I ran a Terex TS14 for a little while. We only had three TS14's and one TS24, this is a whole different ball game! That's a hell of a lot of dirt to move!

Nice! I'd be interested in seeing something about the logistics of an operation like this - how is one day planned out, how do they coordinate so many machines, communication, fuel consumption, repairs, etc. (Might have to be a series!)

Amazing operators all know what they're doing,hope they're well paid.A consultant engineer once told me scrapers are very high maintenance,he was brought in to oversee company that had gone bankrupt and he turned the company around so well they bought all brand new Cats,whole fleet,early 80's.

Looks like a blast...

88bigbyrd, it is amazing how technology has changed. Years past there would have been push dozers but here all the scrapers are push- pull. Do you know how much fuel is used a day? A good picture would be a line up of all the equipment after work.

Thanks for showing me bro.👍$$$$ 2018... Yeah...✌

Who the fuck would dislike this video? I mean how can a machine pushing dirt around be offensive? There’s no hope for some people. These are the people that should not own a gun.

I used to put new floors in those. Also AR plate liners on the sides. Then when you're done all that welding, You'd hard face the hell out of it all.

nice drone aerial. big operation y'all got going there.

God damn. That's a shit load of 657's. Looks like good dirt for scrapers to dig though. Nice drone work.

Is it moved by now? would be cool to see a "before and after" pics or video ?

I think it is between Beaumont and Moreno Valley off the south side of the 62 between the 10 and the 215 ......I hope they also make a 4 lane divided highway out of the 62 ....maybe even 3 lanes each way.....

This is a nice turbo symphony!

Epic video!

double barrel pans are awesome!

Great Video as always , The drone set up is great and give another dimension to your videos that where already superb always look forward to an update fro SoCal I love the sound of those machines the drone mic picks them up great with no drone noise at all !!!!! what drone and mic are you using ? thank for posting this

I'm sure they costed it out but I wonder if a conveyor system would have been more economical. Perhaps it wouldn't have been feasible or moved enough dirt. then again, I would have just built the housing division on the mountains as they were. Didn't seem overly steep. Impressive engineering feat and good drone footage.

Love to work there !!

Geez..... What an operation....

Haha that's a hell of a fire break. Should work.
