Here is 2 pictures of a military scraper that I bought at a city auction. It had 236 hours on it when I bought it and it now has a little over 500 since it was remanufacted. It wasn't running the best when I got it as the turbo had rusted fast. I installed a new turbo and drove it 100 miles up the highway bringing it home. Its about equal with a 621 but gets around or soft ground better.

I drove it from Jasper Indiana to Patricksburg Indiana on Hyway US231. It don't drive that bad as it has good brakes, drives more like an oversized truck. It was permitted for the trip. I've had 2 more of these over the years, they had cable pans and no brakes. They will get along at about 30mph.
