Mice made a home in my Land Scraper - CATERPILLAR HEAVY MACHINES | RC ADVENTURES

This rare earth scraper has been on my shelf - displayed for folks to see in my shed. Seems a little mouse or family of mice made a nest in there and as I went to work today I had to clean it out.. and set my skills to the controller. I have not fired this beast up in over a year, but I have need of scraping out an area on my land, as it is uneven and even rutted out in areas. This is exactly why I bought this scraper - even though many people though I was crazy for doing it. "What are you ever going to need that for?", they would say..

"Today" is my answer.

Welcome back, it's great to see that you still enjoy your hobby and want to share it with us

Welcome back medic. Belly scrapers are normally front wheel drive and depending on the model, they also have a scooper as well to help fill the belly as fast as possible without losing too much speed and getting stuck. That machine is awesome and yes, a grader would be awesome to see. Keep having fun!

I’m pretty sure that is called an Ejector Plate?! Glad to see you playing with your toys again 🍻🇨🇦

Awesome to see you out and about with the heavy equipment buddy!!

[MitchJohnson-uuuf]

The scraper is defiantly an art, that pusher you were mentioning is called the ejector, in a real scraper you have your your belly up/down one way on a joystick, and your ejector the other way on the joystick, and the front gate is a thumb switch on top of the same joystick, then your normal pedals and steering wheel, front and rear engines, 2 gas pedals, front hook to have 2 scrapers tagging along, or a dozer like you said. Sweet vid and machine.

I have seen these things all over the place and never understood exactly how they work or what they do until seeing an RC one work 😂 Go figure!

Love your land Medic ❤ beautiful playground!

[thegoat]

The heavy equipment is by far the best rc, look like so much fun

[stevej]

That’s a beautiful Cat belly scraper.
You can use the belly to smooth out after you dump the load by lowering the belly and then backing over what you just dumped to smoothen it out.
I’ve seen full-size scrapers do it.

Every time there's a new video notification, it becomes the best part of my day!😆😆 ? 🍸,

[levidevries]

Thank you for updating your heavy equipment videos i was really looking forward to watching more of it they’re worth so much money im trying to save up for some of my own but your channel is the only way i can see what its really like

I am envious of your scraper! I would LOVE to have one of my own to fiddle with around the house.
Some operation tips (Though I'm not sure how well they will transfer to scale RC):

-Keep your apron just above the dirt you are cutting when loading, this keeps the dirt moving into the can and prevents the "dirt doze" buildup. With a slight downhill cut you should be able to easily fill the can completely to overflowing with reasonable material

-You can cut a little more as your can gets more full

-Keeping the belly of the can in contact with the dirt you are ejecting will make a nice smooth path, don't lift the can all the way unless you have rocky or bulky material (you already were doing this beautifully, just thought it was worth mentioning.

-With the ejector all the way forward and apron all the way up, you essentially have a mid dozer blade to move rocks or smooth up material that didn't dump as nice as you would like.

Thanks for sharing!
