This is a fun job to watch! Big-time scraper action like this never fails to entertain. Those guys are moving tons of dirt. I wonder what the hourly load count is; the pushcats don't get a break. It's scraper after scraper on this job. Guess I'll have to go to SoCal to see this kind of action like this first-hand! Thanks for posting; you always do excellent videos!
Reasonably easy to work out, 2 scrapers pushed per minute off a single tractor, use a 45 minute hour for multiplication so 45 x 2 = 90 per hour off each tractor, 2 tractors so 180 per hour. 10 hour day with 180/hr = 1800 loads per day, lets say they were at 30 yards per load they are moving in excess of 50,000 yards per day.
Awesome video I hope to see stuff like this in person someday I live in Florida so we don’t have any equipment like that here… can anyone tell me what the average warm-up time in the morning for a D10 or 651 scraper?…. five minutes? 10 minutes? Are big companies like this super strict about not moving or giving a machine throttle before it’s properly warmed up.?… also can anyone tell me how long they let them idle before shutting them down at the end of the day?
A down grade loading of good "potato dirt", good timing by the 651's, and the 10 just rolls smoothly onto the stinger. Quality Local 12 operators showing the world how we move dirt here in Southern Calif..... ..
This project is creating retail commercial space... which requires flat ground. The borrow hill is right next to the desired flat ground. You can see that the hill is shaped such that it's practically un-sellable. So, it's no wonder it's under attack.
Got 2/3's way thru and had to stop for a break.Used to operate 475's back in the 70's on production but never this full on.Hope those guys are on top rates.
The guys pushing sure don't have time to screw around. Moving alot of dirt , fast. Excellent video as always.
Don't even have time to take a Leak.
Good old side
Mount
Go on scraper if you can't hit the load count they want
That ain't his Nick name
Another of the “Greatest shows on earth” thanks for posting. Nice to see you back again.
Pro stock lenko God hates It is approaching him

You sure can tell the difference on a union job and non union.
You can? Explain.
What a line of bullshit!
💪💪 Good times seeing all that iron moving dirt.
That's good we don't want to have a discordance
Liked the way Jimmy for Fulton did it
They aren't having committee meetings
Scrapers in their original country i Love your vidéos thanx a lot ✌️
Put me in a scraper all day....and I’m happier than a clam in new dirt!
If you're wife doesn't have insurance you are fucked
They sure horse those push cats

Can you imagine how much the weekly fuel bill is?
Great video, been a long time since you posted one, i hope to get to see a few more before my time is up.
He gotta good load
Just about the best with Beck
Is this the badlands job? Or el sobrante?
I could scrapers load for hours.
That's enough for one day
Style of the push
Think we can get this one moved before noon
Gotta get that angle it's gonna change on you
Down hill yeah baby
These guys know
Red turned them up
Loading a scraper every 17 seconds between the 2 dozers .
Good Video
Where was this took?
I those push cat boys are earning there $$$ there I hope they are well paid they are taking a beating i'm tired watching them !!!
Hello SoCalEarthMovers:
Sure don't take long to fill the bowl in that sand.
where is that job, what is the name of the company
Ain't a new Pasadena
Why no sealed cabs on these machines?
They're in California where the weather is warm like 11.5 months out of the year.
That D10N is from the nineties. I remember when most of them looked like that.
Yes he is very busy, however he should take the time to put on a dust particle mask--open cab on dozer, no mask, where is OSHA?
Sukut 👍🏼
You will not move dirt faster or cheaper than this!!
@ruZZkik_haZa how do you figure that???
@ruZZkik_haZa the video is a civil construction housing project.....a bucket wheel will never work on that site
With dual engines you will
at twice the cost@@guacamoleweiner69
51s are climbing good
That's loading
million dollar subdivision for people moving out?
Push cat guys don't learn how to slap a stinger in school
This instructor didn't an agee
There. Are. Improvement
Isn't that something
Try to get more proper than these guys

Very good dirt bosses
Push cat is a stressful job. I’ve done it with small companies, small job sites but not like this one, crazy!
It isn't crazy it is a method
Are the white lines on the wheels only for the bosses to see if they’re spinning the tires ?
yes
WELCOME BACK SOCAL.
High gear is the only gear
Look at the load that guy got
Great video😎
I wonder what the load count was at the end of day?
Pretty quick push times! Damn impresive!!
🎉5 to 8
Awesome footage, Thanks for posting!
Can u imagine that fleet building huge ponds along the flooding rivers for later use
Wonder if that's Local12 Operators ?
Yes, the company is Sukut. They have been signatory with IUOE Local 12 since before I started in 1986.
Did they start when McCoy sold

The D-10 with the wing shaped canopy looks like an Outlaw Racer!
Outlaw cat racing!🤩 You might be onto something there...🤔😅👍🏻
Greetings from Finland.🇫🇮🌲🌲🌲
They are pushing too steep you can get a load on your own
They ain't pushing up hill let's move some dirt
Now body has a an ajilliance
These push cat guys are something
A scraperhand that worked with us said he worked on a job where if you spin your scraper tires to load, you got fired
Local 12 My hat off to you.Retired 12 Hand
These kinda push cat guys will sort o
These guys would push them off the lowboy
Guy comes to work in the morning, then realizes it’s downfill from here.
Don't spin the rear tires
Another push don't hert u
They used to double 9
Some real hands at work here. No fucking around.
It's about time someone has cradled this experience
Don't be filling in the mother in law's back yard
No glass broke here
Load and go
Is that good enough
Nice oldie show!
I know it’s CAT dozer but other equipment I have no idea
👍👍👍
👍👍👍

Good job. Best Action
What does clod think of this
Can't overrev the rear engine
This looks like La Pata road extension in san juan Capistrano
If Californian contractors went to Dubai NEOM earthworks would be completed in half the time
3 Rd gear
That first push cat could use some new tracks.
The amount of water 💦 being poured to keep the soil soft is insane and caterpillar machines are best built to move the earth 🌍
The water is for compaction. You cannot achieve proper compaction if the dirt is too dry or to wet. We have strict standards here in California.
Some guys are better at stress than others
A new video. Cool. 😎
There ain't no better getting at it than these guys
Those with hook on stinger Bert started that
We pushed the 57 s
When Jimmy ran
Ran for Fulton
We ain't frickin a round Jimmy job move that dirt
Poor old putty cat gotta back up hill to get another one
Slack can put you on a different payroll
There are people we need to make a pad for
Let Jimmy run it
Where were you
Lap top will never compare
Git the fuck going
Larry and bill could run the Fulton spread
West coast poetry
These guys get it right everytime
Downhill gravy love it
