Video: Cat D9Ls push loading 651B scrapers

[CEwriter]

A pair of teams move more than 200 cubic yards (??) in this 3-min clip.

YouTube - CAT D9L's & 651B's moving mass amounts of earth, fast

(I kept expecting to see John Wayne at the controls.)

Are you the contributor to the wonderful site socalearthmovers? If so, I've always wondered how you managed to get so many wonderful pictures of different jobs. Are you an inspector of some sort? Sorry for the random question but I have always wondered.

Im thinking thats a Sukut , or a Mesa Contracting job. Pretty impressive. Its to bad all those machines will see a tragic end in 2012 due to the "clean air" crap in California.

 

[Gavin84w]

They are Ralph Mitzels machines and the garbage cell they were digging was somewhere in Arizona i believe, lucky we have a hardened enthusiast like Kenny to look after us with all the great big iron footage. Absolute crap all this pollution stuff but no getting away from it

Good catch on that one ace. I didn't even notice his location and the only reason I asked is because those video's are from his website.

Equipment will probably end up in China, no emissions concerns there!

Equipment will probably end up in China, no emissions concerns there!

Agree with Randy on this one. Best site on the web by far when it comes to heavy equipment pictures and videos. I have gotten lost for hours several times going through all his galleries of photos. Thanks for yet another incredible video and keep up the great work:usa
