Sureway was right beside us on that job in Acheson. They should know there wont be much to buy out in a couple of years if Map keeps up what they're doing. We're losing motors left right and centre on the Henday, but thats what happens when you only have 2 mechanics to try and keep up equipment that was junk to start with. Personally, I dont like hooking up more than 2 scrapers, and if I have to I definitely dont take the middle! I learned that lesson real quick!! Usually we only train up in sand or soft material. I think Gavin84W nailed it though. Its just wasted time for the front guys. 2 is all you need most of the time. But what do I know? Im just a scraper operator!

They aren't worried about the Iron, they will just abuse it for the first reason to see what its made of and then liquidate it. Look what we're doing to the IGL Fleet.

A few pics of what I did today. Trying to dig a drainage swale with 2 627G's. The only other iron besides scrapers was a gutless,beat down old D5. The engineer said it was good dirt! They even dug test holes!!!
Are you over in Brintnell or somewhere off 167th ave? I remember seeing some MAP iron on 167th the other day.
And how about a shameless plug for a 627G video.

the Hamptons on 199th st. is where all that fun stuff is. They want to go down 2.20m at the deepest cut stake, but somehow I don't think we're going to get there with the scrapers, unless we wait until it's good and frozen.

I've been in the string when we had 4 627B's hooked together a few times, but you really had to be on the ball, especially if you were last in the string. Things really happen in a hurry, that's for sure.
