That pic of the 2 - 37's loading in a turn is a no no, that will get you fired in a heartbeat around here, you run the risk of breaking the bail hook on the rear scraper.

I did a bit of a road trip back in 2001.Drove thousands of miles .Had seen more of the US than Australia.Might come back one day and do a few thousand more but I decided that I should see a bit of Australia first and just did a 7200 kilometer trip around Queensland.Plenty of heavy earth moving action up there but cos I had my girl with me I was a good boy and only did a little bit of picture taking to keep her happy.But when I go up there next winter(its a lot cooler)things will be different.

Thanks tippatone .There is thousands of them in my collection.

Please post some more, I'm a scraper lover, and I think the rest of them will agree with me

Hi Martin,

Loading in circles and having 2' banks in the cut should tell somebody something. If they are not hooked up maybe the back scraper is afraid he will get lost. Anyhow nice pictures.
