CAT 651B Scrapers Shifting Sandstone 

When I worked for Kiewit when we built the Los Vaqueros reservoir up by Vasco Rd up in Livermore Ca they had a team of six 651s and 2 D10 rip cats and 2 D10 push cats. Those guys would back up in tandem in 3rd gear! With 2 10s behind a 651 in that soft dirt they had the it boiling over the top after the can barely touched the ground! It was something else! I ran a brand new 825 compactor on the dam all summer, it was a great time and an amazing experience. Thanks for a trip down memory lane! Be safe out there! 🇺🇸💪👊👍

651B's will never leave this planet not still running!!! 💪🍻🇺🇲

Love these videos, thank you! I could watch them all day. Yet, another future subdivision where the yards will drain like a cement patio.......

A perfect orchestra of earth moving machines 💪

The D10 pushing the D10 that is pushing the scraper. Good video, enjoyed it.

Thanks, brings back memories of my childhood, my grandfather whose company helped build the Alaskan Highway, and his years after building roads through out the Midwest…

Cutting uphill, here come the keyboard scraper operators!😁 Great video. Those 631 is are tough little boogers

Thank you for the update. I love all the heavy iron

wow, great movement of two bulldozers very fast to push the scraper 👍👍

Love your videos. They are the next best thing to watching a CAT Power Parade

Good way to keep welders and mechanics busy, surely.

I love running dozer. Even the ol’ push cat

Wow!!! Spectacular view and great video !!! Thanks

Teamwork at its finest. The timing sems to be right on between the dozers backing up to catch the next pan. Not their first day as operators on this iron .

Wow double push Cat's! Ive never seen that move before.

oops, the grade checker set the lasers 1 foot off. regrade entire job, please.

incredible, I can see the operator spinning his wheels and he is being pushed by the Bulldozer,

It's like getting the wrong way right

This is some boney stuff

The guys on the D10’s certainly earn their money. Wonder how many hours the tracks do?

That is tough digging

Rock loads better up hill, rolls back in the bowl .

earth MOVING

Nose up on the scraper

Been There Done That :)

Sometimes they dig uphill to pull the tail up otherwise the pit ends up too long..

Would not want the fuel bill.

these are very sucsefule they know the job better to push them uphill they diging in a hole uphill both ways they keep bottom on grade easer

Couldn t a D11N or a D11R take the place of 2 of these D10Ns?

Was this when they did the dirt work for I-5 or I-10

California heat, all that dust and noise, that company really hates the guyw in the open station machines.

I was a operator i have had 6 back surgeries and 1 neck surgery, can you gues why? 😂

What are they dipping out

What is this material to be used for

Balls up hill in Rocks balls

Seems hard work to load up hill

Trying to shuve him into school

Pet rocks for sale

The question begs with all that dust,why don't all the drivers have enclosed air conditioned cabins, their lungs must be a mess at the end of a shift in that????

Maybe it's undesirable material

Low budget outfit...No Cabs, Straight Pipe no mufflers Wow...except for a couple of Dozers with cabs. I'm all set I'll, pass on this job...Good video.

818,000 people left California & your building a road for what, so they can come back or more to leave.

Pushing uphill what are they digging a Kate Smith swimming pool

It's not very fun pushing while being pushed by a cat. You feel like a bobblehead.

Cutting uphill with two dozer pushing where are the push pull scappers turn that cut around and go down hill

Mmmmm.... Im gonna tell Sleepy Joe and Newsome.....this equipment isn't battery powered!!

I guess they never heard that cutting downhill is easier and faster. Typical California.

Uphill that’s a no no and rear push cat should pickup next scraper 🤦
