D10's Pushing Detroit Powered 660B's Up Close 

The guys operating the push Cats, D10s, know what they are doing.

Serious dirt moving,,,Nice cycling...

This video is about moving dirt the way it was meant to be done!! The 2 D10 operators are very good skinners, no wasted movements or wasted time. If the 660 engines are really Detroit Diesel I would be very surprised. Parts may be scarce for the original 660 engines but Cat has modern engines with same footprint.

it looks like the 660's may have been repowered with DD series 60 motors.. not the old 2strokes.

Really great video. Thanks so much for the upload.

Those poor pusher boys don't even get time to take a piss! cool stuff

Thanks, Rely Enjoyed

The oldest guys on our jobs were running the Triple Sixes

A very busy field indeed ,all clued up though,no time wasted. Don't know how long D10,s will last top slot backwards. Eating that muck .

They sure get a bit crossed up from time to time, gotta be quick on the wheel to straighten her out or those 2 D10,s will just jack knife you, good team here, circuit is well balanced with returning scrapers just coming back at the right time, windrow loading and tagging up on the move.

How much track chains did you go through on that job?

I'm curious why they would have been repowered with Detroit's? They don't sound like they are Detroit powered either. Didn't these originally have d353's for power

Series 60 is very simple, very cheap, very reliable and very strong.

if you look close you can see they are S60, detroits

Really cool vid, what year is this?

Having to run a 660 sucks. But they do move a lot of dirt.

I mostly see IH/Case or John Deere 4 track tractors pulling a towed scraper bowl. I don't see any advantage of using antique equipment such as these....

what's with the detroit's In the 660s are they 4 stroke or 2 stroke? I'm deaf

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........very nice!

It,s simple, don,t like, don,t watch.

Puro sincronismo dos operadores.

i find it interesting how these scrapers have 6 wheels compared to many 4 wheeled ones. wonder if it makes much difference.

Money for nuthing ......that iron was paid for what 60 years ago ? And I thaught I ran some old A model scraper 627

That's some old iron

Detroit two strokes my ar5e.

I'm wonderin if there's Bud Hecker nuts on them front axles?

the way to move muck

Mounting the mufflers on the ROPS (rollover cage) is a foolish idea. Don't cut down on noise that much.

Detroits are 2 stroke which means the piston fires every 2 revolutions

better than your um stuff

How old are the 660Bs?

If I was doing this job as pushers I would find that a very boring job I have not seen this done but I would not like that job.

that is not a Detroit cause the engine is a cat you can tell by the sound of the engine

660 are Cat and only Cat. No Detroit engines here . Again False bullshit.
