how much fuel do those 31 use in 10 hrs will they load topsoil without a push cat
what about mud or soft ground just wondering im looking at some terex that are ts14g models or some older ts18's that are in very good conditionlooking for lowest cost per cubic yard about 1/2 mile haul to the stock pile and about 10,000 per day needs moved
200,000 per mth

I cant rightly remember the fuel comsumption on 631, but I would say somewhere between 10 to 15 gallons an hour.
As far as self loading top soil, or any material for that matter- unless you have down hill grade of about 8% or more, forget about getting a full load without a push cat. Sure you can get a half or less load with desent underfoot conditions, and a slight downhill, but throw in a little mud or soft ground, or a bit of a uphill, singles are useless without the help of a pusher.
A good rule of thumb for scrapper, or even truck production is 10 loads per hour. A 631 hauls 24 yards per trip (our companys estimate). Thats 2400 yards per hour. You would need 5 scrappers to meet your estimate, and work 10 hours a day minimum. With a 1 mile round trip, 10 is a very concervitive estimate. You also have to factor in haul road conditions, operator skill, push cat hook-up time and so on.
Hope this helps a little, Jason
