Re: Random Pictures From The Last Couple Years

Re: Random Pictures From The Last Couple Years
Thanks rino. Except for the one with the 4 scrapers push pulling together they were all taken with mine and the wife's camera phone. You can tell most are hers because I'm operating number 7 lol. The one with the 4 of us together was taken by one of the girls from the office.
The only ones happy to see us in that subdivision were the neighborhood kids lol We had houses on 3 sides of us and it was windy. The dust was a real problem and I don't think they liked the pictures getting rattled of their walls (some really did complain about that) when we went flying by. Not many stop to think that the people in the subdivision next to them had to put up with the same thing so their subdivision could get built. |

Re: Random Pictures From The Last Couple Years
Thanks jmic. It got to 40 below on us last winter and wet material. I was Happy to be on the grader instead of a scraper for most of that job. Frost is brutal in a scraper.
Kinda figured a few might ask about the specs so here they are from cats website MODEL NET POWER - TRACTOR/SCRAPER CAPACITY HEAPED TRAVEL SPEED MAXIMUM  627G 246 kW (330 hp) / 178 kW (239 hp)17 m351.5 km/h246 kW (330 hp) / 178 kW (239 hp)22 yd332 mphView Specifications 637G 345/373 kW (462/500 hp)26 m354.9 km/h345/373 kW (462/500 hp)34 yd334.1 mphView Specifications Here is the page I copied and pasted from http://www.cat.com/cda/layout?m=37840&x=7&location=drop The ones in the winter pictures are 627's and the summer ones are 637's. Hooking together like that is called push pull loading. We hook together and unhook without stopping, all four loaded and gone in about 45 seconds. We were cyceling every 5 minutes and dumping full speed in 8th gear. What a blast. Its some good fun if you have good partners to work with. |

Re: Random Pictures From The Last Couple Years
Brian,
Not able to sleep? What time zone are you in? Nice pictures though.
