Those newer paddle wheels are nice, well actually all of the newer equipment is more ergonomic now, they’ve got all the controls on one stick, it’s really cool! ☝️💪👊👍
I had 5of these at Melbourne square mal when I built the malls pad and parking lot 900 feet of curb pads with some great operators to assist me it was a blow out beer party every night
Cool, I just watched a video by Pushysix today about scrapers and he talked about these paddle scrappers. Never seen one of these around here (Chicago). Are they common by you?
It’s not really the Scraper, it’s the Operator’s! I ran those and 633 D’s both for many years and once it start’s coming over the side’s you’re done!! Time to gradually lift up and get out of there. And no I’m not trying to pick an argument with anybody, just saying is all.. :)
The Cat 623's are garbage. We bought one in early 2020 and have less than 50% uptime. The wheel seals are a nightmare in that they are integrated with the brake and final drives. That's only the start of bad things. This machine is currently at our favorite Cat dealer, Fabick in Cape Girardeau with a broken draft arm. Expect to spend $100K and up for annual maintenance. We use these to mine clay and have 7 Cat 615's which are a workhorses compared to the new junk Cat puts out. We are forced to buy 623's due to our mining layout and of course no one else makes a elevator scraper in this size. Fortunately we bought bumper to bumper warranty on these and the first 10,000 hours racked up over $400K that Cat was forced to pay. It only goes downhill from there. These are built for road grading only.
I agree the k 623 models are junk. They get stuck on wet grass, transmissions self destruct and the aftertreatment systems are constantly having issues.
Ive got a 613 paddle wheel. Great machine.
That 623E sounds marvelous

Spilled a little over the side there. Oh, and you missed a grease zerk this morning during maintenance.
Man I love scraper work !
Sometimes it’s nice other times your shitting your self lol
I have put a 633D Paddle Wheel on it’s nose a couple times slipping off the side of mound’s! lol…. But that was over a 12 year period!
Great video and great job 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you Neftali✌️
We were only on G when I worked around them
Great vid mate
Love the sound of scrapers 👍 where is this job at? Great video brother 💪✌️
Hey Travis ✌️They do sound nice! this site is located in Calimesa and Blackmore contracting is handling the job. Cheers 🍻
Long cuts but now they have the other ones without the rotator.
Valeu .fera ok.
what is the difference in a paddle scarper, and a regular scraper??
Regular scrapers are more for grading and hoging cuts paddle scrapers are for loose material and finish grading
I used to build the cabs for those. We had the ROPS, CROPS and ICROPS.
Cool, I just watched a video by Pushysix today about scrapers and he talked about these paddle scrappers. Never seen one of these around here (Chicago). Are they common by you?
Yes sir, paddle scrapers are very common but only on smaller grading jobs. Btw no luck yet on the D11.
@@HeavyMachinesinAction It will be worth the wait, D11 videos are great to watch.
I agree! I also really enjoy watching the Detroit diesels. Please more of those if you can.
LOST MORE THAN HE PUTS IN BOX HORRIBLE THINGS PADDLE SCRAPERS.

Hallo bro 👍🙏🙏
Add theeth to cutting edge works better
I've never seen such thing on a scraper before.
You don't put teeth on a Cutting Edge Rick.
Perhaps in virgin ground, but this material seems fairly loose, and the loading time is quick enough
@@miketorres3597 Yes, it is bolt on option for these machines

To long in the cut way too long
Company should equip camera, cheap fix! Paid for in one hour!!
Seriously. Shits just spilling over. Get the hell out of there earlier
I was thinking the same thing, once it’s pouring over the side’s you’re done! I used to run 623 E and H both!
I can get a load in 45 seconds
Now go spread it 3" sonitair out in 2yeaars thenbyou can use it again

623s are just the elevator version of the 621, same front end just the elevator to load, don't know if 621s have the same problems.

Sounds like a k model scraper all right
Get a g model scraper instead
It's full learn how to run it
