Im absolutely floored by the capabilities of these heavy machines. They truly exemplify the term heavy machinery.

What a great time to be alive. I can watch these steel dinosaurs all day long without sunburn, bugs, dirt or guys in pickup trucks chasing you. And the fridge is within armchair range......

We used to have 4 scrapers that ran materials from our rock Crusher (Fresh Kills Landfill, now closed). We also had 10 dozer pulled scrapers. Originally with D8Ks, then upgraded to D8Ls. Running an old cable scraper pulled by a D8 with clutch and brake pedals was part of the practical test for the job. Back in the day. IUOE Local 15

That is an awesome display of modern construction machinery at work.

Love scrapers ,in the 70,s my dad's neighbour took us to Amanford in s w Wales to his work site for the day, we spent a full day riding around in Terex scrapers and big Cat dozers we were only about 10 yrs old,i loved it, been a big fan of machines ever since, but never worked in the industry, i remember it well.

This was really cool to watch how orchistrated all this heavy equipment is and the massive quantities of earth being moved per hour.

WOW the grader coming down that slope grading KOOL. Have watched in real life a set of 3 of the biggest graders CAT makes grade the haul road for the LARGEST dump trucks for open pit mining it was in Salt Lake city The mine just west of City it is open to public so you can go to viewing area and watch mining I got to see a blast go off and right after Blast the D- 11s. got to work RIPPING the ground back and forth. This is nice video. Thank you.

6+ miilion yard project 1985 in San Diego; lopped-off the mesas, 150+ foot fills in the canyons. 40+ 657 scrapers (between April 15th and Oct 15th: lotsa O/T in October). 2-man survey crew provided all the grade stakes (nothing robotic or automatic: just a theodolite and top-mount EDM; all hand recorded notes)

I love those big double engine push/pull scrappers.lock them together and move mountains. Only real problem we had with them when running hard was an only 8 to 10 hour fuel tanks.usually refused at lunch to make a 10 to 12 hour day.

I would really enjoy seeing what that site looks like now....a sort of 'before and after' update. Same goes for a lot of your older videos....maybe a short video which starts with a minute or so of the original video and finishes with a short descriptive narrative. I'm sure I'm not the only one who watches these great videos of yours and wonders what it is the planners are trying to achieve.

Insane amount of cubic yards moved per hour......mind boggling to say the least! The cost to move it all isn't cheap either! Thanks for the video!
-
Very nice video all operators on this project are well experienced I love the scraper my father was become the best operator of the scraper when he was only 14 years of age
-
That is a crew of excellent operators.👌
-
I like heavy equipment. The operator is a very good skill. Very good sound. Thank you from Japan.

I remember back in the 80’s, we had 80 637 scrapers stripping coal mines and building haul roads.. it was around $1.10 $1.20 a yard to move the Earth then
-
This is like watching paint dry, but oddly satisfying. Is there any way you can make a kind of time lapse video to show the hill disappear?
-
Great video... Spent 20+ years of my life running buggies... Really miss it, to bad it's a young man's sport...

Here in Brazil, I must give my admiration, to the persons that made these machines and their work.
