Wabco scrapers at work
mockman Don't know how stable they were, but ran my 613a alongside a pair of these for a month or so and they would eat my lunch. Had a brand new 615 that would stay with them with the suspension on, stiff they would eat its lunch too. those things had some real power a 504 v8 cummins and... -

GPS ON Dozer
mockman I don't know, I never had any trouble with paving hubs myself, speced all my bids at plus or minus 2 tenths and always got it there. Just took more time to get it closer. Used an outfit with GPS on last job, but seemed when it came time to pour, they were still calling to trim here and... -

GPS ON Dozer
mockman gps is a tool that makes a good operator out of a bad one, would work good for those farmer john deere double pans that cannot negotiate slopes or grade stakes, a total rookie to the business excuse, that is modern day earthmoving to me, people that know how to move dirt are no longer... -

Cat D6D--a decent farm cat?
D6d I got 32k for mine, granted not what it was worth. I bought it brand new in 1983 with factory cab, engine enclosures, lights and logging sweeps. It had 16,000 frame hours 8,000 hrs on everything but the engine, think engine had around 10,000 hrs, someone filled it with sand at 6,000 hrs in... -

Cat D6D--a decent farm cat?
D6d the early ones had small bearings in the crossshaft, the finals drive bearings go out around 8,000 hrs, the angle blade is for shaping, not worth a crap for trees or production dozing, probably why roller frames are cracked... -

Dozer work per hour.........
operator wow, 55.00 per hour for a dozer operator, best I ever got was 16.00 and I am as good as they come, 30 years worth, dad taught me, he ran them with armour in korea, nothing but slits to look out of. I was getting $100.00 for my D6D, seemed a bargain to me, most would cry, beat you up... -

Wabco scrapers at work
101f Those things would flat out blow the doors off a 613, ran mine alongside a pair of them, uphill they would go by you like you were standing still. They had a clark transmission with a lockup convertor. Had a new 615 rented, it would stay with them with the ride axle down. -

estimating software
I worked with a guy that used that agtek software. His quantities seemed to be closer than what I and the engineer had matched on. The engineer uses a program called 3-D civil, they told me only engineers use it. Anyway we were all within just a few thousand yards. Not a giant job, around 60,000...- mockman

estimating software
You can use a 5 dollar scale ruler and a 5 dollar calculator to the same extent as the computer. It is known as averaging and most computer programs work the same exact way. Using plan scale, grid it off in 100 foot intervals or smaller sometimes. Total the quantity of all stations of cut times...- mockman

Pull scraper questions
you need the dolly wheels to keep from wearing your rollers out, the 3W Cat 70 flat bottom would be ideal it is 13 yard, the round bottom earlier one was 11 yard. A 314 LaPlante Choate would be ideal if using cable, the choate's were best ever in mud or sticky clay. not sure what any of those... -

Any experience with a 657 Auger scraper
Ts-14's someone asked about the 466 international engine it was used in the TS-14D series 2 Ts-14F and the early G's. It was an international 466 engine with Detroit electronics and called a 40 series Detroit, something went wrong and now they are using Cummins 5.9 engines the last couple years... -

Any experience with a 657 Auger scraper
Are the 657B's worth buying today from a parts and reliablility standpoint or would the 637C be a better machine. I understand that they can be repowered, but that is expensive. Also, I always heard the Terex Ts-24B loadrunner would eat a 637's lunch. The 71 series engines were noisy, but very...
