Caterpillar 631G and D10R - Part 1

[UAL012]

This push cat driver (notice I say driver because he has to earn the title of operator) doesn't seem to know his head from his ass.

1) He's oversteering the machine to line up on a scraper

2) He needs to back off on the speed. Shift into 2nd to push and maybe as low as 1st to rip.

3) He needs to take it easy when lining up to push and make contact with his scraper.

4) The scraper hands need to put the can in the ground and try to get a decent load.

[bcroadbuilder]

That guy could not not run a push cat to save his life fire the idiot and let the real mother fucker show you how its done

[Lcguy87]

What's that type of blade used for compared to the Big u blades is this blade used just for cutting work instead of pushing the most amount of dirt possible please let me know??? Thanks

[4x4dodge18]

@Lcguy87 yes this style of blade is for pushing scrapers for a d10 its probubly got 3 or 4 big shock absorbers befind the top of the blade all they are are steel washers and big ribber spacers sandwiched together bout two foot long thats where the cushion comes from.

[c931D9]

Pushing in second gear, ripping in second gear, spinning=cowboy.  Stupid. Find another job.

[vix121]

If my boss seen this guy running hs D10 like that, he'd be done.

[MajorRamser]

Holy Christ, that is a perfect example of a shitty operator. I don't even have to go into all the wrongs because A. everyone else hit it on the head and B. Everything he's doing is wrong.

And that, my fellow operators, is why we don't let wanna be operators in the seat.

[wind2jammer]

Mebee hes the bosses kid lol he sure aint a dozer hand

[d9andy992]

omg i would sack the d10 cowboy on the spot,that poor dozer,no deacelaration,pushing up hill,to mauch mistakes to mention,get him off that dozer now !!! thats the first time in 30 yrs of earthworks that ive seen scraper being pushed up hill,wat a wanker!!! 

[UAL012]

This guy on the 10 is an idiot.

[maplemanz]

I would of fired the sonafa bitch!!

[jeryl1968]

look like a bunch of kids in a sand box ? doesnt any one check dirt elevation anymore or are they just so good they dont need to check it ? come on ? no ones that good isnt their any blue prints ? or are they just going to build it the way they think it might be built ? waste of fuel and equipment and money ?

[MrBigtower]

this operator ether dont give a shit ,hasnt learn right or is just bad

[MegaScaniaking]

dog ruff id sack him

[MegaScaniaking]

dog ruff driver id sack him

[Gavin84w]

Ouch @ 22 seconds, watch everything flex when he stops dead against a rock in the cut, wonder it did not tear the stinger clean off.

[greeniron32]

How many examples of a bad operator can you find? 1) backing up to far between scrapers 2) backing over a embankment 3) having scrapers wait while doing cut maintance 4) loading up hill 5) spining tracks. Watch the repowered D10N push loading 651B videos and observe the difference.(see socal earthmovers)

[rangerman2237]

when he picks up the ass of the scraper like that it changes how deep the bowl is cutting and messes up the grade not allot of people use scrapers anymore but if ur only cuting a few feet 3 or 4 they make quick work of it

[Gavin84w]

The local Cat dealers product support rep must love this crowd, lots of undercarriage and GET sales through premature wear and poor operating technique

[KeithSDMF]

Unless you continiously have a dozer pushing that 631 junk around all the time im jus saying a big shovel loading a yuke would be more cost effective & less time consuming with less effort.

[KeithSDMF]

631G's are junk unless your on a hard surface to haul on....sell that trash an buy a yuke to haul for that location.

[Gavin84w]

Your a genius with that sort of insight, or maybe the deer with no eye AKA no idea.

[Amed2012]

he could eased off the pedal at 1:38

[UAL012]

He needs to cut DOWNHILL and learn how to rip the cut. I've been on both a dozer/push cat and on scrapers (I HATE SCRAPERS). If there are other dozers ripping the cut, then he needs to concentrate on getting the scrapers loaded and moving.

There is no reason for backing up that far to push. When you run a dozer like that, you need to make EVRY movement count.

[panhead55]

ha, these guys are probably from texas....

[rogueorange]

y falme the operator, they are probly been told to do that by the foreman, also the cat's can take it ;)

[chrdub89]

wow wtf

[tom2024]

everyone has to start somewhere so maybe you should lay off the dozer operator you where green at one point to.

[cowbubbles]

fuck off tom !

[OneBaddAssZ71]

i work construction and i operate a pan i know what its like to be bumped like that it really hurts. ive learned a few ways to pay the dozer man back for bumping me so that he wont do it anymore...this dozer operator sucks and the pan operator sucks too

[x054frcadnoh]

Learn to drive a Dozer you Dumb ass.

if you worked with us you wouldnt be driveing that dozzer or anything infact!

[DOCTORDROTT]

The dozer driver must be new on the job.He seems to be doing everything wrong.They must be wasting lots of fuel on that job!

[ianc631c]

crap dozer driver,pushing scrapers in rock in 2nd gear rubbish,pushing up hill pah

[KTMNick87]

Shitty operator...

[cowbubbles]

dum ass

[8ZRD11R]

The bloke on the D10 is a Cat killer

1) For christ sake learn how to use a decelator pedal.

2) Too fast Id say probably 3rd, slow down.

3) Screwing on the spot, turn gently.

4) BACK BLADING coming off the hill BADLY, lift the blade!!!

5) Dropped down WAY too hard off that hill, slow down.

5) Ripper shank laid back too far, might get away with that in soft dirt but in rock that will snap the riper boot and sometimes the shank, move the shank in

6) Spinning the tracks excessively, control

[TheGreatSteve]

I've never driven a digger and it looked rubbish even to me.

[cowbubbles]

its not hard thats what i do

[jimmybigbucket]

who the hells driving that 10, first he lifted the scraper wheels up then he shot backwards off a highwall, i thought you were supposed to load scrapers downhill for least resistance.

[jonyknoxvil]

Sack that Dumbass D10 opperator! He wouldn't last in Australia very long.......

[13frontrow]

hey jonyknoxvil ur dead rite mate but u also got a dead head on ur 11.

[Portnob]

thats an old d10r ill be surprised if its got much left in it, if it keeps the same operator smashing it around like that it'll be out of action before long. i mean driving it off the cliff what was he thinking.

[catscraperman]

in my opinion the guy running the 10 is pretty green. Should always swing the ass in behind the scraper first then you can save 40 feet of reverse and he tags with his blade too low thats why he hits hard

[maplemanz]

he's really abusing that D10R see where he backs off that steep slope shocked the hell out of that machine.also notice where the scraper gets hung up on a knob of rock,can imagine if those 10's were tandem pushing??

the 631's cutting edge probably would have been ripped off!!

[maplemanz]

that's the advantage of the elevated sprocket.

to isolate the final drives from severe impacts.

[chuckrl]

On a couple of them connects, I hate to be the pan operator when he connected. When you hear the "bump" of the blade onto the push plate of the scraper, you know that the pan operator really felt it. And it can hurt. I always tried to connect while moving or if stopped, ever so slowly approach pan until you know and see the pan start to move. If done correctly, you shouldn't hear it connect.

[facksakes]

man he runs that push cat like me no fear

[greeniron32]

Scrapers should never stop or load up hill.

[RickArter]

True not designed like that really the single engines are worse.

[greeniron32]

RickArter I Don't understand your comment.

greeniron32

[RickArter]

Figured since they have less power and weight it would be harder, but not relative to tearing up the pan/blade on a rock.

[greeniron32]

Go to del webb scrapers and this is how a production scraper spread runs.
