norWISequipment Lesson number one to avoiding whiplash,always keep light sideways pressure on the bale. Even when you're getting pulled sometimes the front guy slows a little in a soft spot an then WHAM, broken bale or whiplash.
Hi, And many thanks for the upload, I love to see the first cut of a site and these two seem to be even more powerful and fast than I have seen for a while.
DRAG the pan as you come in to the cut for a smoother ride. And keep the pan up when the bowl is empty about a few inches from the ground to clip anything above your cutting edge for a smoother ride. Blade off the haul road if the blademan can't keep up. You have only one back so take care of it.
Love running these scrapers. So productive with good operators. Because of bad operators I am never able to operate heavy equipment again. Wished companies would never put green operators in the seat.
Do you guys take breakfast and lunch breaks in Canada? I know some earthmoving companies in the U.K, Ireland and Australia wont let the machines Stop. You.can have a break when they're. Fueling up.
I don't care if they are brand new, after 12 hours they are still a fucking scraper. Sounds like they really have gotten the cabs quiet, anything you don't particularly like about them? Edit: wtf is with the volvo did it get lost on the way to the junk yard
So you push him to help get loaded then he pulls you as you load yourself? thanks for the cool video, i've never seen a team like this. looks like you've got the cycle time down pretty low.
That's right. They are 700hp each and take a minute to self load, with two you are loading with 1400hp and 30 seconds per scraper to load. Hook up three and you have 2100hp and 15 second loads. Scraper are like Voltron. The more you hook up the better it gets!
rangerman375 8 657E scrapers, that's 8800 horsepower on one cutting edge. Even with 3 you have to be really careful on not digging too deep or the hydraulics cant lift the bowl back out, and heaven forbid if you hook a big rock. Jackknife city, and someones ending up on rear radiator or breaking a bale. Takes a lot of people that know whats going on to do it right.
thequattro20v read the grade stakes, they are also laid out to the contours of what is being developed, a good scraper hand will know how deep his 627 or 657 cuts when using the grousers (commonly called corner bits by most).
The tyres should last longer than the machine in these kinds of conditions but in saying that over all they take quite the beating in general purpose use
If you spin the tires at my work you get one warning and if you do it again you get sent home. Tires are 10k each and are the biggest maintenance expenses for these things
