“They’re big, they’re yellow, and they’re fun to run.” Dad loved running scrapers with you guys ❤️
Chloe, Your dad truly embodied everything we want HEI to be recognized for and he was family. We miss him everyday! ❤️
I was 18 years old during the summer between my last year in high school and going off to college. I got a summer job with a grading company building a rail bed to a new electric generating plant. I was hired to run an old D-3 Cat dozer without a blade hooked to a sheeps foot roller. I operated that thing sun up to sun down seven days a week but I yearned to run a pan…..that’s what we called them back then I don’t know when they started designating them scrapers. Occasionally the pan operators would let me run a load and after dropping the pan to fast when dumping and snapping the cables I got pretty good at it. The owner of the company was watching me as I tried hard to do a good job and eventually when the operators took a weeks vacation I got to run those Cat 619C’s to my heart’s content. There was no cab or air conditioning just an open cockpit. I almost did not leave for college because I knew then I had the job I wanted. I did leave at the end of summer and go on to college but to this day over 50 years later when I see scrapers working I have to stop and just watch them to hear the diesels screaming and take in the smell of dirt.
Hi, HEI Civil.
Thanks for the video. I have 57 years up 'in the saddle' on many types of earth moving machines, possibly least on scrapers, backhoes and dump trucks, and I have never worked a day of it.
I have always been a big kid inna BIGGGG sandpit being paid to play with other people's toys.
Just my 0.02.
You all have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
I've enjoyed the versatility operating a scraper in road construction, preparing oil field leases, or as clearing overburden for open pit rock quarries, or feed lot operations,
Had 637s in 70s a good haul road could 30mph . Push pull type bunch of great operators moved a lot of fill I 88 NY
Finish scraper operator here, I just reached out to the office and left a voicemail. I look forward to hearing from you, thank you.
Caterpillar machines rule the earth 🌍
awesome machines to operate. 651,631,621, and a couple paddle wheel scrapers. run them for 14 yrs.
I like the E series myself. Way smoother ride. Just make sure the ac works throw a wicked sound system I'll run an E forever
Whoever said fun to run either hasnt been on one or is trying to hire folks lol. Cool for about 8 hrs then it hurts
Right on…!
Oh it hurts, just like the articulated 6 wheel dumpers. (I'm using my wife's account
45 years ago they were not like that l can assure you.
Fact. I was operating 627s in 77’ right out of high school. They would beat you to death.
I run 27 B,E,F, Gand they all beat you to death lol haul trucks are not much better.
A all out effort to fill in the ravines around the Grand Canyon are formulating and to transport enough fill to re build the everglades and the swamps of the gulf coast. Radial railways in the region are also planned.
As long as there's work. I run push pulls and i run push cats, BGs , loaders.. the BG is my favorite.
Retired 623 operator! 15 years.
I taut Men and women to operate triple 6 scrapers in the copper mine for 12 years Women or the best operators because they lessen Men coy boy to much and break them down the hydraulics

Not much of a scraper guy but I do enjoy running the 470G excavator at the quarry I work at.
Hi, HEI Civil.
Running down the haul road with around 90 to 100 tons at around 30 miles per hour??????????????
Try running a Cat 660 or 666 scraper with maybe 140 - 150 tons gross at FORTY EIGHT miles per hour. THAT is moving dirt.
Personally, I prefer running push cats or blades.
Just my 0.02.
You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.
So you are saying they only go 30mph? I operated a 657 push pull for two years on a dam project in the mid 70's and the haul road to the other side of the project was as hard as concrete from all the years of use and slightly down hill. The superintendent said we were going 55 mph and it was the same as driving your car down the highway.
The shop had a chart with all cat equipment and if I remember it said the 657 empty weight was around 210,000lbs and a struck load which meant level full was another 130,000lbs so a total weight of 350,000lbs is 175 tons. We mostly hauled gravel and sometimes the clay for the core. I hardly ever had a load that wasn't so full it rolled over the sides until we stopped loading.
They sent us a few miles down the road to prep a new clay operation and clearing and stock piling the topsoil was really cool. I had so much on one time I had to work the apron up and down to get open enough to unload.
Open cab so no heat or AC and a good bit of dust. When the water rig was not working we would back down in the small river the project was damming and get as much water as we could and quickly head back to the cut to water the haul road.
Was quite an interesting job.

No more green weenies and Detroits. But by the looks of some of them still around and working they must have done it right
T Allen What's the deal; and how does one start communicating?
How much does an experienced scraped make in C.O in AZ a finish 23 scraper hand makes up to $40 hourly
27's are babies
I run all machines apart from backhoe (360) I live in the UK not much scrapers here my dream is to run a scraper what would be the chances of locating to the USA or Canada and getting a seat. Don't min d starting as at the bottom just want to be able to run a buggy
Hello @supersniperuk, we run a lot of scrapers in Colorado. They truly are fascinating machines. You are welcome to apply on our website and we can see where that goes. We hope you are able to fulfill your dream of operating a scraper, soon. Thank you, HEI Civil

Is this only in Colorado?
Hello, HEI Civil is based only in Colorado. However, we do have sister companies in North Carolina and Texas. Thank you, HEI Civil
I live in Colorado. I want to be operator trained on scrapers haul trucks and wheel loaders
Hello Christian, You can apply on our website at www.heicivil.com/careers. We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you, HEI Civil
What is the big cut/ hole at @2:19 for! Is it a clay pit or material that you need for other areas in the job?
Why such small machines? If your going to be a dirt company 57's are much more efficient and would only need a few in that small job!
Moving 657's in Colorado is a major pain. You have to split the machine in half to move it. The only way those become cost effective is if you're doing multi million yard projects. 637's could come in very handy for these guys though.
@@UAL012 not saying your wrong because I dont live in Colorado. Maximum Road weight in Colorado is 200000lbs. 657 weigh in at 160000lbs empty. Obviously route can be a issue but one day of splitting a 57 is still a lot fast and cheaper per yard. 37's are still slow and could easily go with 51's instead of 57's.
Ran scrapers in CO for couple years, we would over-road the 627/637’s to the next job site really early in the morning. Rarely would one go on a trailer.
@@johnsheridan6452 yeah do the same in California to. As long as we are away from high traffic areas. But very rarely do we use anything other than 57's or 51's and if so 623's.
57s are way more effecient
40 tonnes of drit in a 45 tonne machine, that's only 85 tonnes. Ohh imperial to metric tonnes. My bad
Necesito trabajo
You can’t make any money on a scraper in the Midwest….
Where do I sign up? I'll move out the cal for this job
Hello, Thank you for expressing interest in HEI Civil. Please fill out an application on our website, www.heicivil.com/careers. We look forward to hearing from you! Thank you, HEI Civil
That would be the dumbest thing you can do. This Company is paying 20/hr and up for operators. Stay and California and sign up to Local 12 Operating Engineers. They opened up apprentice applications to every 6 months since we need operators bad. Apprentices start at 30 an hour. Journeyman are at 53/hour plus depending on what you operate. These companies make millions and cheat their operators bad!
I've been running plant in Australia, if you're keen on helping me get a green card I'm keen to come run a scraper
Hello @keithbelding3743, thank you for showing interest in working for us! Unfortunately we do not do sponsorship programs at this time. Thank you, HEI Civil
@@heicivil damn. Looks like you guys are on a pretty good ship. I've been keeping up with you guys for a little bit now. Keep it going and keep safe guys
