[tommy1504]

Who's running this job? A Frenchie?

[antoet31]

@tommy1504 Yes.

[suhu8]

WHY DON'T YOU  MOVE IT TO CHINA, LEONA??

[xrjockey]

Dudes right. Anytime you start to haul over a mile with srapers it is not as efficient. Trucks are the way to go. Scrapers are for bringing down mountains and short fast hauls. Bombs away. LOL IUOE3

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@xrjockey It is a common mistake made by estimators and engineers that scrapers are for short haul only and trucks are better for the longer stuff. However nothing could be further from the truth taken the actual numbers along with some true field experience to decide the numbers true worth (Did all you 2+2 four year degree civil engineers catch that)? Firts the support equipment cost goes down with scapers. With good haul roads like the ones truck require one good scraper hand can maintain it.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@HomebrewCigarsmoker Further-more, their is no need for a large dozer in the fill to spread the material since scrapers spread their own material and never quit moving ( bonus) while their dumping. One 815/25 can handle the compaction and fill. Also scrapers dump 100% of their load every time(bonus #2); unlike trucks so their is no haul back. Thats 2 less tractors 2 less operators and two performance bonuses, & thats just in the fill and haul. We gaining on the long haul trucks yet?

[25mfd]

@HomebrewCigarsmoker I would have to add that the excavator only moves dirt ONE BUCKET AT A TIME.

By contrast, one 657 moves about 44 CY,HEAPED. Multiply that number by the number of 657's one chooses to use and you have a veritable conveyor belt of earth being moved.

Eight 657's x 44 heaped CY = 352 CY being moved.

Much better than ONE bucket at a time.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd Lets not forget I am in favor of moving dirt with scrapers VS trucks espeically on long hauls. You are correct about the material generated in one cycle. However, Im not sure of your point, but i believe your referring to load times. The truth of the mater is in a perfect world load time is the only place a push cat beats a comparable hoe, but with all the other advantages its worth investment. In a non- perfect world where the scraper stops while waiting for the push cat to contact.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd The clock is running while the scraper waits for the push cat. While the push cat is over pushing, or backing up, or catching up the clock is running and it usually stops around 45 seconds to a 1 min 15 sec. So then the position is have 2 push cats so we sure there a cat ready to push. Now we got another big expensive dozer in the cut. I havnt even begun with the maintanance, spinning cut tire issue. All the while a hoe is cranking em out 1 min at a time running on grease.

[25mfd]

@HomebrewCigarsmoker Soil conditions would have to be assessed for sure but the soil in this vid looks moist at worst.

657's should have no problem this. No pushcats would be needed.

I wouldn't imagine you would need pushcats with twin engine scrapers unless the soil is heavy clay or very rocky.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd Heavy clay and rock is the norm here in the ozarks. But even with loose soil as here there is still the issue of operators spinning the tires especially when using push pulls. Of course good operators minimize tire spin, but if you have looked lately good scraper hands are rare. Companies usually have to grow their own. Then there is the issue of transmissions when scrapers load them-self and a over cut issue spending more time than needed cutting and loading.

[73elrodalexander]

@HomebrewCigarsmoker

Yeap, scrapers work very well moving soft materail such as top soil stripping for job sites and sand as well, but you start trying to strip clay and harder more resitant earth its very hard on the transmissions and the planets/hubs, creates alot of heat fast, also is hard on the cutting edges, hydraulic pumps ect, excavators are built to dig into the earth, and with the right machine and a team of dump trucks, overburden material can be easily removed very quickly.

[MrBiggreedy]

@73elrodalexander My arguement is to top load the scrapers as if they where trucks. That way you dont need the large dozer in the fill to knock piles down, an 815/25 can maintain the fill and compaction= only one op and one machine to maintain. Also one good scraper hand can maintain haul roads= no blade=less over head. Less is better $.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd All in all for a couple of rounds yes the self loading will be more productive. However taken into account a week and then a month of hauling top loading with a 1min hoe is going to win out in the cut due to a drastically reduced maintenance issue. Plus all the other advantages still exist on the haul and fill using the scraper. bottom line is the long term numbers say scrapers not trucks and top loading rather than push cat or push pull.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd Baring all extreme conditions such as very high R.R., deep water(3to4 feet +) or large rocks 3-4 feet dia.

[25mfd]

@HomebrewCigarsmoker You make valid points.

Many solutions to solve one problem.

I suppose either way a 6 mile,round trip hike moving dirt to a fill area is a PAIN IN THE A** to try and figure out logistically.

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd 10-4

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd 

[HomebrewCigarsmoker]

@25mfd And by the way Im still moving the same 352 CY in a cycle loading with a hoe .

[TheHairybaz]

quality gear. dont get much than a 385. only way to go

[alemaremma]

I love this machines, when you use them in the respect of nature, they really help humans to make a better world.

[cat345cl]

love this video ,,very good operators and the guy on that grader is on fire lol

[counrtyman86]

i belong to local 101 (missouri and kansas IUOE) and run a hoe full time myself, u can always tell who is an operator and who isnt just by the comments being left. running one of these machines and doing it effeciently is harder than it looks. those of u who dont operate need not to comment about skills and what not. good vid by the way

[MANAOKAUAI]

Beautiful day in France, (just like Hawaii) operating a Cat 385, life is good. Enjoy my brother, wish I were you.

[ikad86]

Awakes Childhood Dreams :D

[Gratz1333]

biggest with one cylinder for stick and bucket that is

[thormx428]

what the guy said was is that the 385 is the biggest CAT has to offer in the US which is true, he didnt say anything about komatsu

[cessnawings67]

Trust me Kam and Mit aint shit

[marcozdeere2010]

video nota 10

[generationll]

The 385C is the biggest Cat excavator offered in The United States.Nice action here.

[tarheellax92]

your wrong, the Komastsu pc1000 and pc1250 are both bigger then the Cat 385 and both can befound in the US in many locations.

[suzukiforever141]

no the cat 5110b and the cat 5130 are

[alco424]

@suzukiforever141 Cat hasn't offered the 5110 or 5130 for quite some time. They were both discontinued a long time ago

[suzukiforever141]

@alco424 oh im sorry i didnt know that

[TheGuaguita]

que bueno el videoo la cago esa maquina yo soy operador de chile pero dolo una 320 jaja muy wena

[binzaesusu]

troppu bellu

[CATERPILLARD9L]

Drove a Cat 769D for about 8 month's this year.

It got boring pretty quick.

[anchelicht]

Lo Maravilloso de la Evolución!

[michaelovitch]

une question que je me suis toujours posée :

pourquoi toujours les mêmes couleurs pour quasi toutes les marques ?

[MrExcavatorman]

hmmmm ye ... caterpillar soud is excelent ... love power engines in exc...

[shairaptor]

Ich könnte diesen Kettenbaggern stundenlang zusehen, sigh <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 !!! :)

[coasterrocklol]

geht mir nivht anders!

Great video 5*

[shairaptor]

Danke. :) Kannst Du mir erklären warum das eigentlich so ist? Ich bin total vernarrt in Bagger und könnte an jeder Baustelle zu den Baggern rennen. Vielen geht das so. Was macht den besonderen Reiz dieser heissen Baumaschinen aus Deiner Meinung nach? Greets

[jserra17]

U R Wack Job!

[PLANETROCK21229]

how did he get his job them skills need work

[hudyfootball]

Not Really

[markdmy]

dont worry about losers like planet...your doing pretty good

[hasolo1]

einfach nur herrlich diese Maschinen ich liebe sie!

[shairaptor]

finde ich auch, bin vernarrt in diese heissen maschinen :) warum finden so viele leute bagger so dermassn faszinierend eigentlich?

[shairaptor]

denn im Prinzip bvewegen sie ja erstmal nur sand oder erdreich von a nach b, was ja nichts tolles ist.

[feedferkel]

ure a top excavator operator in two years u will be good so good like me

[byoung1100]

i started working on the same machine two days ago tomorow i will be loading my trucks the same way thank you

[alvinox73]

Look at my chanel on the employees who work on CATERPILLAR ! .

[conutryboy]

why has the operator not turn his tracks with the slope it makes it easier to load the trucks with operator cab to the trucks

[calduper]

Becuase then every time you would have to move back you would have to turn the machine. Pure waste of time.

[kemp3651]

also you would not want to put your self in such a compromised spot if the bank were to give way.

[1234superpooper]

as long as the bank isnt undermined, youre not really at any risk... Its a very calm and slow ordeal when the banks give way..

[jsifo2]

good job... and nice vid

[jakotelsa]

I have worked with the 375 LNE

[Chrisz72]

I like watching these work

[quiksilverjd]

call me an asshole, but why not just send in a few pair of 57's and watch all that dirt disappear in a day?

[Gilles31390]

And you wheel during 10 km with the 657 ? Very bad idea !

[quiksilverjd]

what? your comment makes no sense. . . I said... " Why not just use some 57's and obvoiusly a d8 to run the cut.. nvr mnd your retarded

[Gilles31390]

I said that on this site, we need to carry the dirt on about 5 kilometers to fill a gap. You cant use 657 with such a distance.

[quiksilverjd]

Oh, forgive me for name calling then. =)

Yah .. okay, you're right on that.. hehe

[LasPlumasRangers]

@quiksilverjd who is the retarded? the guy with the answer or the guy who cant take the answer?

[sjaderlund]

@quiksilverjd where is the catchy reply to gilles answer???

[AmitaiGranit]

because my son love watching this one over and over again

[jsifo2]

pretty fast operatore

[drummerdude6485]

Big 385! Good job Caterpillar!

[tom2024]

how much can a 769 hold? 30yds?

[stadnek]

loading trucks does not exactly take great skills...

[dozerdriver1962]

actuly theres alot of gals who can operat the socks off of guys ,my mom was one of them

[here2LQQk]

would it shock you guys if i told you its a women running 4 pass loads ... haha noobs

[fpm1979]

Not at all. Women can do this just as good as men.

[Gratz1333]

the C means stronger pumps or something? like you said they are def good i just hate seeing narrow pads ona huge block body like that. once you get into the size that big they look like that lol

[erimus1]

The 'C' is just to define that particular model. The 'C' are current in the 385's, although i'm not sure of the first year - I drive a 385C which is a 2007. The tracks look about right to me although it is difficult to tell from the angle of the video. Narrow tracks on excavators are 'Rock Tracks' with deep grousers, which are generally used in quarries.

[AgentHog]

I know L is to mean that it has a longer undercarriage.

[greeniron32]

Very good operator. 4 pass loading.

[erimus1]

Any operator should be able to load a truck with a minimum of passes. You can't tell if an operator is any good from an 8 minute video loading dumpers.

[carsley10]

excellent video,love the way those 385 just humm !! keep them comin

[cjminokc]

Great video! I hear those ol C's are good machine's
