I work on a ranch in northern California and we are doing a bunch of dirt work. The owner sent up one of his Cat 623B scraper. The question is what is the "trans hold" foot pedal for? And any good advice?

A few things to think about while getting familiar with the 623.
Keep your can close to the ground, if you haven't nosed over yet you will, (typically happens when you turn downhill) and this will not happen as easily with with the can on the ground.
When making a fill or building a stockpile, build your edges up first and maintain a mild slope away from the edge of the fill. Otherwise it becomes difficult to stay on the stockpile.
It's good to see you asking questions, instead of not knowing or finding out the hard way. There are some good scraper operators on this forum that can sure help.Thank you guys for the help and advice, I sure do appreciate it! I look forward to learning more on the equipment operating
I find the most frustrating part of scraper operating is when the scraper gets the duck walk on! You can smooth it out by moving across half a width on your next cut or fill and go slow. good luck.
