6 scraper Push Pull - extended version

[edwardglamuzina]

You bid jobs by the amount of cubic yards moved. When the sixth scraper was loading you have four that should of been on their way to the fill. Not waiting around while the others load. That was an example of what not to do with scrapers. So many things can go wrong. What if the third scraper hooked a rock it couldn't get loose from? You would have two pulling and three pushing as the bottom of the can on the third gets literally ripped out . This may of looked cool to some but it is one of the most inefficient uses of scrapers I've seen. They are designed to be run in pairs . That should be three teams of two high balling to get the most yardage in their shift.

I was wondering if more than three was plausible😊

[officialchilo]

Lol I use a 613c series II self elevating scraper... it’s total awesomeness.

[jlhighfield]

great photo op, but not too efficient ?

[georgealmeida]

Its alot faster if your not tied together. Trust me

[geraldojosejustiniano]

Ai sim Amigos fera saudades .abraço a todos ok.

This is a total waste of time and money, plus it puts tremendous stress on the rear two scrapers. With good operators, triple hook-ups are fine, but anything more isn't cost effective and is dangerous, and I speak from 1000's of hrs on push-pulls. This does make a really cool video

The can on the fifth scraper was already full, da fuq? Getting paid by the hour and he can’t eject, just stay out there and cash in!

[boom-rlme]

627's? This a smaller job? Where are the 657's?
And would you, or have you, made a video telling how you got in the position your in?

[lesflynn]

Could someone please explain why this is so dangerous, hooking up six push pulls? I've never seen this done before. On my site there's only a pair of 627G's and three 621's working with D8 & D10. I'm not an operator, but would like to know the potential danger of using multiple push pulls.Could they tip each other over? Is that it?

[gabrielwhalen]

Who ever took this video should be kicked off site and never allowed to return back.
You have no idea how dangerous this job is.

[chriscardoza]

Awesome as always keep the rubber side down and make some money....

[ericpogorzelski]

they are all the same caterpillar scraper number 627

[js]

Can you explain how push pull works sounds like fun lol

[yep]

I've done that. Hit a rock... Tore the floor off the scraper.

[timothygrell]

I wish this would have happened on my job. There would be 6 checks waiting for them. How completely stupid and I bet if it would come out of there pockets each and everyone of these guys would have said hell no. As said by others to many opportunities to tear a machine in half. Just wrong

[GRADEBOLT]

Merica lol dirt through the trash rank on to the rear hood

[owenalistair]

Probably be better in 3 pairs side by side

[zeeshan_engineering_services]

Hmm Caterpillar 627G push pull scraper

[GeorgeLafortune]

It's unsafe, stupid, and waste of time, but you can sure get a huge load
