A rare treat seeing two such expensive machines touching dirt for the first time.

I love the 657G, how can that even feel like work when it looks so peaceful and calm in that cab. No drama, politics, nothing, just you in the driverseat doing a hard earned day of work.

I miss running heavy equipment. Born n grew up in the industry of building roads with my brothers n my dad .GENE NORTON AND SONS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY. RIP dad.

Been along time since I've been on a dirt spread. Brings back memories.
-
Nothing like the feel of a new scraper. All the joints and stress points are tight, no creaking, all the electronics and hydraulics work properly. You almost don't want to get it dirty.

Brings back memories, my arm twitched at the right time the bowl needed to start opening. Great vijao. Push pull, no elevators and no tynes. The lack of bounce is impressive. Top notch operators here. Well done.

Fellas... this is one of the best videos I have ever seen. The cab view is clear. The drone did a fantastic job. Here in the South we use farm tractors with single, double, even triple dirtpans. Great video

I work for caterpillar as an engineer and have worked on projects with scrapers in the past. I love watching SoCal earth movers putting our machines to work!

The best push pull video ever! but was worried as only two but then the others came. brings back memorys from long ago from ts-14 to a 637

Awesome video. On a job-site from 2001-2004 in San Jose (Ranch on Silver Creek) I worked with at least a dozen or so 657's, and a number of 637's and a bunch of 631's. It was an awesome site to see 8-10 657's in a cut, ripping it up, then running to the fill-sites. Was a HUGE job, and I believe the contractor was Independent from NorCal. Worked with a bunch of awesome people down there!! Was a great job!!

Fantastic machines, and crew, fantastic quality of footage, Thank you all so much.

Fantastic to see these monsters in action close up, excellent drone work and it was awesome to see the lowboys hauling them on to the site. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe. Pat. UK.

God the sound of those motors. I operate a 631k. It's a great thing when you love what you do.
-
Push pull. A thing of beauty. You make it look easy. Nice job SCEM.
-
Huge machines ripping up dirt. Doesn`t get much better than that! Thanks for doing these videos!
-
If you're not the lead scraper, the view never changes. Excellent video. Very well done.
-
What a great sight two double barrel 657g right off the show room floor, put to work the first time.
-
Good video: lots of action and movement; this must be scraper technology/operations at it's top. Looks like they work in pairs, helping each other to load, very productive.
-
The first time I’ve seen brand new scrapers in action.

Love it. Takes me back to the late 1960s early 1970s building the M3 in UK, Cat 657s being helped to load with Cat D8s
