What does a dozer hand make out there? I hope it’s a lot to run those with no cab.I know the weather is nice but sitting in the dust all day would be miserable.
Californians live in the shittiest terrain lots of hills and mountains that need to be moved. The terrain looks nice but that's about it. This site is for a landfill
I would recommend this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KS63t8zSCCA.html&ab_channel=Pushysix%C2%AE But essentially, CAT makes single and twin-engine scrapers. These are the largest single-engine as denoted by the 1 at the end. Since they are a single-engine unit they need help scraping the dirt, because as the weight mounts they are unable to pull themselves through the dirt, hence the push. The larger twin-engine units (657) are essentially four-wheel drive, with two motors, you will see these units operate in a push-pull fashion. Where the first unit cuts and is pushed, once they finish, then they use that weight to pull the next unit into the cut as they collect dirt.
Operated single Cats with and without self loaders, CAT and Terex twins in my early working years. When used, push dozers mostly made possible a deeper cut in a shorter distance than without. Never two dozers per buggy. Possible a bean counter somewhere calculated two per was more cost effective?
@@kenlink5667 Potentially, I've read and been told that push-pull twin-engine scrappers are more effective because the primary unit is essentially being pushed, as they would be by a dozer. Then, once they are full they can use that power and extra weight to pull the second unit along, which will have a deeper cut and larger load. I don't know where it originated from though.
@@dozer1642 you can pick up the pattern by watching which way the pushcat is turning, work your way across the cut , and then pick up the windrows.its actually pretty easy. Just pay attention to what is going on. Or expect an ass chewing
I find it interesting a single D10 can't push a 651 given two 657's don't need to be pushed. With that said, these guys sure know a hell of a lot more than I do so there's a reason......
Look at it this way as well. 57`s have twice the maintenance cost to run. Let say they have 20 651 scapers running they are only using 22 motors kn that push spread. If they had the same 20 657 they would 40 motors to maintain.
@@timothygrell4398 bingo....twin powers are a lazy mans scraper unless on steep country or slippery underfoot conditions...they cost heaps to run on the flat going
looks in inefficient theres always at least one or more scraper waiting to load. maybe if you we pushing them uphill you might need that power 2 push cats. I dont understand if you got that whole area of cut whats your reason for this?
@@tijuanastranglers503 And the load is bigger....the overhead shots show how it boils up and full against to the top of the apron, when you can get the dirt in the front of the bowl like that you have a full load on
