Awsome. I can't believe this. I am the operator on the rip cat. Can't believe I found this. I just signed up for youtube and found this today.

The company doing the dirt work is PKS. Better known as Peter Kewit & sons. One of the largest earthmoving companies of the world. I have worked for them off and on for 5 years. I would like to know who shot this footage and say thanks.

note how much exhaust they released!

[tlapse]

Those are diesel engines, so that black exhaust is mostly just elemental carbon. It's ugly, but not a bad pollutant.

HEY!!!! They should do a time lapse of me on the 815 Compactor

Looks like rock, as it was being ripped, so two pushers is a good idea as it gets them loaded twice as quick. Even in clay, with 657s we always use two pushers.

Yea, Stay In School!! I've been running machines for 12 years and so far...if you absoltutly want something to do with big machines, go with the railroad. Better $ and more benefits. I will be posting a vid sometime next week on us push-pullin' with 637Es out west, Sheridan, Wyoming.

i moved those tractors into that job

Your right about that.57"s would have been much more productive. But the material is like hard pan and you aint getting a load without proper support.

[wantfreegas]

We were moving 30k yards a day, 8hr shift. Yeah, that was nice to have some tatter dirt for a change. But if it aint ripped, your not going to get a load. PKS usaully gets rock jobs, and I'm sick of rock.
